I stopped by happy hour at **Atlanta Fish Market** as part of the Buckhead Life Restaurant Group's **Summer Dine Around** program, and it was a great introduction to both. The Summer Dine Around encourages guests to visit participating BLRG restaurants throughout the season while earning dining rewards, so it's a fun excuse to explore places you may not normally visit. For happy hour, I started with the Sauvignon Blanc, which paired perfectly with the **Hamachi Jalapeño**. That dish absolutely stole the show. The fish was incredibly fresh, buttery, and melted in my mouth, while the jalapeño added just the right amount of heat without overpowering the flavor. I could've easily ordered a second plate. I also had the **Classic Lobster Roll** served with warm butter. It was simple, rich, and exactly what you want from a lobster roll. The quality of the lobster really speaks for itself. To finish, I couldn't pass up the **Oreo Crusted Cheesecake**, and I'm glad I didn't. Creamy, decadent, and not overly sweet, it was the perfect ending to the meal. The service was attentive, the atmosphere felt polished but relaxed, and happy hour made it easy to enjoy a luxury seafood experience without the full dinner price tag. I'll definitely be back, and I'm looking forward to checking out more restaurants through the Summer Dine Around program. read more

I have no idea why this gets 3.5 stars! It is always great. Amazingly awesome. This last trip was no exception! Great. Great service, great atmosphere, great selections, great timing on appetizers and then great timing on entrees! Even dessert. read more

My service by Solomon was amazing! He was very attentive, gave me recommendations and was helpful throughout my visit. They gave me bread service for the table, and I had the Caesar salad, oysters (6), and a crab cake. For the Caesar, the dressing is made in house. The dressing itself was really good-- the Caesar salad as a whole was pretty average. The oysters were delicious. A few had shells which is natural with fresh shucking, and nothing I can't handle. I had two briny and two sweet-- both amazing! The star of the show for me was the crab cake. This was absolutely fire. Highly recommend that. I came for lunch so there weren't many patrons. The ambiance is upscale and nautical. Very nice overall. read more

I made my way back over to ATL Fish Market and once again it was a hit! I got my usual dragon sushi roll bit this time I got two! It's always so yummy! My hubby went with the seafood platter which you never go wrong with and my son had twin lobster tails which he said was delicious! Maybe I I'll try those next time. The service and food were both spectacular! We got there around 5:00 so thankfully we beat the dinner crowd and traffic! I can't wait to go back!! read more

I came for happy hour around 5ish. I believe it ends at 6:30. I ordered the lobster roll for $24, a rainbow roll that was $8 for four pieces, and a glass of sauvignon blanc for $8. Let's start with the good. The wine pour was heavy and I definitely appreciated that. For eight dollars that was solid. The rainbow roll for eight dollars was also fair for happy hour pricing. Now the lobster roll. It just was not worth $24 to me. The lobster meat was tough and not juicy. It wasn't seasoned properly at all. I actually had to add salt, which I hate doing because then it just sits on top instead of being cooked into the food. It was buttery, yes, but it mostly tasted like lobster and butter with no real flavor. The bread also fell apart which was annoying. I really wish they would have grilled or toasted it more so it could hold together better. Service was a little disappointing. When I first sat down my server was a girl named Joe. After a while it felt like there was a shift change because suddenly there were several staff members around and no one was really checking on me. I was sitting at the bar so I do not think there was a reason to overlook me. I noticed bartenders having conversations with other guests, but no one really bothered to see if I needed anything else. It felt like once I had my food, I was forgotten. Overall, decent happy hour pricing on drinks and sushi, but the lobster roll and the lack of consistent service would make me think twice about ordering that again. read more

Stopped by Atlanta Fish Market for lunch with my mom after being out in the Phipps area, and it did not disappoint. We hadn't been in years, but it's still every bit the Atlanta staple if you know, you know. We came toward the tail end of lunch and the service was still phenomenal. My mom got the platter, I had the fried shrimp with spinach and a cup of clam chowder (I'm a clam chowder girl, and this one was solid lots of clams). We also shared a fried lobster tail "for dessert," which ended up being my mom's favorite. Everything tasted fresh like it actually came from the Atlantic, not sitting around. Portions were definitely on the heavier side for lunch, but we had plenty to take home, so no complaints there. Overall, just a solid, reliable Atlanta spot. Would definitely come back. read more

I had a great experience at Atlanta Fish House! The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The seafood was well-seasoned and not overly greasy, which I really appreciated. The portions were generous, and everything came out hot and made to order. The customer service was also friendly, welcoming, and efficient. The staff made sure we had everything we needed and created a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. If you're looking for a spot with quality seafood and good service, Atlanta Fish House is definitely worth checking out. I'll definitely be back! read more

Had an awesome meal here. Came for lunch, so it was very quiet. Seafood spread in the market area looked amazing. Per our server's recommendation, I got the Chilean Sea Bass, Hong Kong style, and my friend got the Grouper, blackened style, which looked amazing and cooked perfectly. The Hong Kong style was pure white, so I'm not certain how it was prepared, but it was delicious. The Blackened looked better than mine and I will get that next time! All in all a great dining experience with great service and a nice mixture of old-fashioned and fish-market-like and modern, classy decor. Loved the meal, will be back! read more

This place has been on my list for years and I lost a gift card that I received back in 2009! I was given another gift card and decided to make it. They actually have a fish market in the restaurant and you can choose your seafood. Ppl were casually dressed and some ppl look like they were regulars. We went for an early dinner, as we had another commitment to attend in the area. My kid got the flounder with fries. It was a lot of food! She enjoyed it. I got the lobster BLT and it didn't disappoint. read more

3 stars for the food being delicious. Our server was switched without us knowing. The bartender could not make a mojito it was horrendous. The moscato was delicious but not on the menu, you have to ask. It came in a dirty glass with food particles in it, so I had to get a new glass. Yuck. The place has gone downhill. The fixtures are broken (see photos). The Floor and table was dirty. It took an hour to get our food with a half empty dining room. We had the calamari and octopus for appetizers. For entrees my husband had the special of seafood scampi stuffed lobster with a ribeye. I had the special of Chilean sea bass and scallops with a ribeye. It broke my heart to have this experience at one of my favorite places. For $300+ the experience should not have been this way. read more

For the amount of hype I hear about the Atlanta Fish Market, the whole group was quite disappointed. The food was extremely expensive, but the taste was average, some dishes even being below average. Our server was not very knowledgeable about the menu, despite being a seasoned employee. Unfortunately, we do not plan on going back. read more

It's been quite a few years since I last reviewed The Atlanta Fish Market so I would describe it as a Review versus an Update. We arrived to our reservations and friends were already seated. We opted for the bar area seating because we knew in advance that we would be a bit louder and would linger longer. Arrived a little before 12:00 PM and were promptly seated. No one else in the lounge but it quickly filled to about 75% which is a good sign for a Monday. Our server greeted us and we all knew that he was going to be be great and he was. He had such patience with all of us. He described each meal and allowed for us to change things around. Our order consisted of a Fried grouper sandwich with fries, a Wedge Salad with a side of Fried Shrimp, a Sautéed Grouper Sandwich also with fries, and a Hong Kong Style order of Scallops. The grouper sandwiches were both huge and perfectly cooked. They are really plated well. I only can vouch for my meal and it was perfect. The fish was sautéed with a simple butter sauce, tartar sauce on the side served on a brioche bun. My piece of grouper was so big it fell out of the bun, no problem it was so good it could be eaten plain. The thin fries arrived piping hot and were tasty. Although I can't vouch for the taste of all of the food I can say that everyone loved the food and all four plates were wiped clean. The Atlanta Fish Market serves(and sells) probably the freshest seafood in Atlanta. It arrives daily and the guys in the back cut it down into entree portions. One can also go into the back Fish Market and pick up fresh seafood to take home and cook. They also have fresh cooked steamed shrimp daily, all types of fish that are available for the day, to go with salads and all the sides to take home. Highly recommend a trip to the Retail Market in the back of the Bar area. It's a treat. Forgot to take pictures until we went in the back to pick up some crab meat. Sorry. Maybe next time. Highly recommend for fresh seafood in Atlanta. Valet parking only. read more

My husband picked Atlanta Fish Market for his birthday dinner on 1/31. This was my first time there but my husband had taken his mother last November for her birthday (I had to work that night). I booked the reservation for us along with his mother, which was easy to do online. Upon arriving, we valet parked. The restaurant is very easy to spot, with its impressive giant fish statue in front of the building. Inside feels casual and cozy while still being "nice." They have a fish tank and colorful decor. We were seated in a booth and soon met by our server. Regretfully, I forgot his name as I wrote this review, but he was very helpful and polite, offering suggestions and working with us as we decided what we wanted. We each had a glass of wine and shared appetizers: octopus, crab cake, and calamari. All three were great. The octopus was so tender and soft and delicious! The crab cake was rich and flavorful! The calamari was classic and had yummy sauces with it! The complimentary bread brought to the table was gone in a flash so we asked for more (yum)! For my entrée, I was looking at the Hong Kong "Combo" Chilean Sea Bass & Faroe Islands Salmon, but since my husband was getting that, I decided to go with another option per our server's recommendation! I got the sautéed grouper Parisienne and it was so delicious! I loved all the textures of the veggies and the flavor of the fish and sauce. My husband's dish was also very tasty! It's nice that you get two different fish with it! My husband's mother got the lobster along with a side of green beans and mashed potatoes. I tried a bit of hers too and everything was great. For dessert, our server brought a complimentary chocolate dessert! It was a nice closing to our meal! We look forward to coming back for more! read more

Atlanta Fish Market - a classic! I had a made a reservation for a Sunday evening but to be honest I don't know how necessary it was as they were not terribly busy but either way always better to be safe than sorry! You do have to valet you car here but its only $3 plus tip which is fine and they are quick and nice! Once inside, it has a great vibe inside and super quaint. We got some drinks to start and I went for the peach mule they had which was delicious! And of course the bread service is also great which we thoroughly enjoyed. We also opted to get some spinach and artichoke dip was yummy as well and came with plenty of chips! For my main entree, I did try to get the lobster roll but they were unfortunately out of lobster already which was a little disappointing and the main reason why I docked it a star (how do you run out?? It was only like 7PM and they weren't that busy!) But either way I went with the the lobster BLT which was MASSIVE! You can't complain about the portions here as they are hefty for sure. I also tried the mussels that someone at my table ordered and those were delicious especially with the bread to dip in the sauce! And because we were celebrating a birthday they brought us some dessert which I thought was so nice and sweet! Overall this was a great experience and I would look forward to coming again. read more

Food and drinks were amazing from start to finish. I ordered the mussels, a side of broccoli, and the oyster Rockefeller. The broccoli ended up being the star for me--perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. The mussels were fresh and flavorful, and the oysters were rich and satisfying. The restaurant itself is large with multiple dining and bar areas, which gives it a lively but not overcrowded feel. The atmosphere is stylish yet comfortable, making it a great spot whether you're coming for dinner with friends or just grabbing drinks. You can tell the food is prepared fresh, and the quality really comes through in every bite. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and everything came out at the right pace. Overall, it's a great choice if you're looking for fresh seafood, solid drinks, and a nice space to enjoy them in. I'd definitely come back! read more

I attended a work dinner at Atlanta Fish Market and loved the food. We had a dinner reservation for 6pm on a Tuesday. Atlanta Fish Market reminded me of a restaurant on a boardwalk with its nautical elements and natural textures. Overall service was great. Food came out in a timely manner, and the servers were friendly and attentive. There was one lead server who was also very animated, which made the dinner entertaining. I had the pleasure of trying a sampler plate of fried food including a fried lobster tail, calamari, and rock shrimp. The fried lobster tail was the star of the dish, but the calamari and shrimp were fine. I got the Hong Kong style seabass and scallops, which was superb. The scallops were tender, and the seabass was flaky and moist. The proteins sat on a bed of sauteed spinach, and the soy broth provided the perfect amount of savory umami flavor. read more

Great food, atmosphere, service and price. I was truly pleased with my dinner experience at Atlanta Fish Market. I had been here once before for a corporate event many years ago. I have been wanting to come back and finally did. For starters, the crab bisque and seafood gumbo were delicious! I ordered a combo dish that included Chilean sea bass, salmon, spinach and Basmati rice. All Asian-wok inspired. Absolutely amazing! I had a cocktail that included vodka, gin and lavender. I cannot remember the name but it was a keeper lol! The server was very nice as were the hosts/hostesses and valet parking team. I will definitely go back for another treat soon. read more

Its been over 10 years since I've visited this place but my recent experience made me want to plan to return again in the same month! I brought my elderly neighbor here for a celebratory dinner and we both enjoyed everything about our experience. Food was super delicious! I got the salmon trout,she got the trout amadine and my partner had the fish and chips. Everything was absolutely delicious and what made it even better was the top tier service we received from the waiter Robert as well as the manager. Robert was very personable and attentive!

Atlanta Fish Market is an institution that is part of the Buckhead Life Group. I have heard it described as "touristy"...but even if that's the case (I don't think so), my experience was excellent. The service was quite fantastic...everything from the hostesses up front to the waitress for our table. Super friendly and helpful/accommodative with questions and any potential dietary constraints. They were also flexible when we wanted to switch tables and were appropriately attentive throughout the evening. I was a big fan of their proprietary AFM chopped salad...several unique ingredients, all of which aggregated to a satisfying "healthy" dish. We also got the sauteed red snapper, coupled with a vegetable medley & broccoli. Really enjoyed all of it...particularly the sides. The desserts are legit as well. Go for the mango sorbet if you're in the mood. It's also worth checking out the cake options. read more

I had lunch here with a group of friends. We arrived early and had no trouble getting a table. The holiday decorations are festive and fun. I like the lunch menu.

Nothing came out that didn't look wonderful. read more

I wanted to share some feedback regarding my recent visit to Atlanta Fish Market this past Saturday. My husband and I stopped in for a late, leisurely lunch at the bar -- it was an early anniversary celebration, and the restaurant wasn't busy at all, maybe three guests total. We were looking forward to enjoying some martinis and great seafood, as we've always held Atlanta Fish Market to a higher standard. Our bartender was friendly, but unfortunately, she seemed unsure about several things -- including whether the restaurant had stone crab claws, what oysters were being served, and details about the sushi options. When we asked about the stone crabs, she initially told us they weren't in season. However, when I mentioned that the restaurant's Instagram page had just posted about them, she double-checked and confirmed they did have them -- at $40 per claw. Even she commented that "a lot of people from Florida say they should just go to Joe's," which didn't exactly build confidence. To be clear, she wasn't rude or unfriendly, but the whole experience just felt off -- unpolished, uninformed, and honestly a little weird. Before we left, she mentioned that happy hour prices were cheaper, implying that maybe we were leaving because of the cost, which wasn't the case at all. We left because the entire interaction had us questioning the level of service and knowledge we expected from this restaurant. We ended up dining elsewhere, at the Optimist but I wanted to share this feedback because Atlanta Fish Market has always been a place we've enjoyed and recommended. I hope this helps you identify an opportunity for additional training and consistency, especially at the bar where guests often form their first impressions. read more

Our party of four enjoyed our Tuesday evening dinner. We arrived before 6 pm, early enough for weekday happy hour. The calamari and pow pow shrimp tacos were delicious appetizers. My husband and I shared the kale salad, and my son and his friend shared the wedge salad. I would recommend them both. My husband and I had the lobster rolls-he had the hit and I ordered mine cold. It was the Best lobster I ever ate! I will be coming here from now on for happy hour lobster rolls! We ran out of room for dessert, but if I did, I would get the key lime pie. Come hungry! Shout out to our amazing server, Lucy, who took great care of us. read more

Came here for cute happy hour ! We got the food pictures and for drinks, a Hugo sprite and passion fruit mojito. I think the dinner at AFM is amazing- beautiful fish presentations and a lovely ambiance in the main room. The happy hour was .. okay? Not amazing, but terrible, but good for the price we paid.

This was my first time coming here and years. I came with my family for a dinner, so there were about 18 of us. The service was great. We had Sarah and Marley, and they answered everyone's questions kindly and efficiently. We ordered several apps (not pictured) including calamari($19), spicy tuna rolls ($16), and the jumbo shrimp cocktail ($22). The hibiscus martini ($15) was highly recommended, so that's what I got and it was perfect. I ended up getting 2 more of them. To eat, I ordered the Hong Kong combo ($36) which came with a piece of Chilean sea bass and Faroe island salmon and spinach. It was okay. The fish was cooked nicely, but I had to order rice to soak up the soupy broth. I was most excited for this main course, and it because it was just okay, I feel I had to take one star off. read more

I made a last minute reservation for my birthday and had never been to the Atlanta Fish Market before. Walking in, I did not like the set up. The restaurant has more of an open floor, family style layout rather than the intimate vibe I was looking for (plus the walk to the bathroom had a smell.) HOwEVER, that's where my complaints end. The service - good. Lychee Martini 10 out of 10. (Buzzed off of one) Pecan crusted salmon trout -10 out of 10. Complimentary chocolate something or other dessert - 8 out of 10.

Had a great time here, and the food and wait staff were incredible! However.... A cockroach did crawl down the wall and across our table. The waitress was kind and apologized and happily moved us to a different table, but it was hard to overlook it and enjoy our meal or get past the experience to eat comfortably. I'm not one to insist on free items or compensation, but with a cockroach crawling across our table infront of us.... I would've thought a manager may have came by or some sort of effort would've been made to remedy the solution... read more

We came for happy hour at 6:00 to celebrate my birthday with drinks and good seafood , but it was really disappointing. After being seated at the bar, we waited nearly 50 minutes and only got two drinks, while others were served quickly. Our bartender, Josefina, was behind the bar the entire time and repeatedly passed us without any acknowledgment, which felt intentional and dismissive. After almost an hour, we had to ask someone else to get her attention. We skipped dinner food, paid the check, and left. We ended up going to Pricci, where the service was much better. read more

This was my 1st visit here even though I've lived in Atlanta for 40 years. I have always wanted to go since i love seafood... and it did not disappoint! It was upbeat and light and had a good vibe. We went into the sushi lounge and loved the feeling in that area as well. We did have a reservation and were seated right on time in the main dining room. We had no wait although it was prime dining time on the weekend. We had a great table right in the middle and was greeted right away. Our server was so approachable and friendly and we really liked him. We got a sushi roll to start, which was AMAZING! My boyfriend got swordfish and i got the salmon. Fabulous. Great portions of fresh really great fish. The sides were hot and good portions and we loved every part of this dinner and experience. Would recommend and can't wait to go back! read more

We were visiting Atlanta for a few days and went to the Fish Market at the suggestion of someone who is a regular diner at the restaurant. We started with soups - the Crab Bisque and the New England Clam Chowder. I lived in Maryland for 30 years and crabs become part of your persona; this bisque was as close to the best I'd had back home. It had a deep, rich flavor with plenty of crabmeat. The New England Clam Chowder was also very good; it was a hearty, thick and creamy soup, chock full of potatoes and clams! I ordered the Stuffed Flounder Casserole - it was baked with shrimp, crab, scallops and mushrooms in a white wine sauce. I'd never had anything quite like this before; the Flounder was tender and mildly seasoned; it was complimented by the shrimp and crab in the mushrooms and wine sauce. It could have had more a more flavorful sauce. The mashed potatoes were delicious. We also ordered the Georgia Mountain Trout Amandine - the diner said she thought the fish was fresh and tender, but it also lacked flavor. The last entree was the Sautéed Florida Grouper with capers. She said it was mildly seasoned, but very good. The three fish entrees were fresh, cooked perfectly but could use a little boost from more flavorful sauces. The desserts - a piece of the Chocolate Mousse cake, and a piece of Chocolate Toffee Crunch pie. Both were excellent - creamy with a rich chocolate taste! read more

One of my favorite seafood restaurants. However, they can be a bit busy. The food is good but some seating areas can be tight.

Went for an industry dinner. Had an appetizer of shrimp and crab, very delicious. Crab was already shelled and very nicely presented on the plate. Main dish was grouper with a caper sauce. Grouper was cooked well, lightly seasoned, sauce was very delicious. Green beans were plain and bland. Mashed potatoes standard. Had key lime pie for dessert and it was very good. Overall service was great and ambiance is very nice upscale seafood. Prices are standard for the area and type of restaurant. Their happy hour menu looked decent. Would go back for happy hour. Overall enjoyed and valet parking only $3 read more
