The Lobster Roll. You have to get the Lobster Roll. That is all.

Great food and scenery! Friendly staff. Had the smoked fish dip, bisque, and shrimp and crab burger. Freakin delicious! Definitely going back. Probably best seafood in Atlanta!

The Asian quinoa bowl was so delicious! We also like the hush puppies and my fiancé said the blackened shrimp was delicious!

Great late night dinner with full menu available instead of a "bar menu" and the cocktails were great!

The Green Goddess salad with Mahi Mahi was amazing!

Mojitos were weak and tasted different each time, 1/4 of fish was uncooked and the coleslaw was uninteresting - attentive, friendly servers tho! Wouldn't recommend tho I may have been unlucky.

Come in Sundays for the Bloody Mary bar! Wasabi vodka, horshradish vodka, sweet or spicy. Its a good way to recover from a wild weekend!!

Parking can get scarce in front but there are a few more spaces out back. On Friday nights, get here before 6pm else long wait for table (assuming you can find parking)

The lobster roll is a must try!
Charly RootJuly 3, 2011
Lobster roll is strangely under-priced. Get it. Rathbun's charges $40.00 for something $5 better/more complex. Shree bean salad es mui beano.
Mac FramptonDecember 3, 2013
The best lobster bisque I have had in a long time.
Betsy JohnsonJanuary 21, 2014
They have boiled peanuts at no charge but you have to know to ask for them!

Walked out, couldn’t get served at the bar on a quiet ish Sunday

If you get the skewered shrimp, get them jerk-style. The blackened version were a little bland.
