Walked in here on a whim and bumped into a Happy Hour! On a Saturday!! The ambiance was extremely inviting with a beautiful outdoor dining area and it's super spacious inside. I sat at the bar, and was immediately greeted by the female bartender (Her name escapes me but she was heading out on vacation the next day) with a warm smile, a mention of their features and 3 different menus. I was overwhelmed in a great way!! 3 HH margaritas later and 2 happy hour apps in...I knew this was a place I'd have to come back for dinner. I want that Sea Bass!! read more

A high end seafood restaurant in the heart of the city. Special points to the free valet service. Not a lot of places have that and finding a parking spot can get quite tricky here. I was here with a few colleagues and ordered a few drinks - I got the old fashioned. Pretty disappointed! The drink was too sweet and hoping for something a little smoky. We got some mussels, fried shrimp and garlic bread for appetizers to share. For entrees, I got the sea bass. Overall, food was amazing. However, value for money didn't seam satisfactory. read more

My sister and I love going on sibling dates and exploring new spots around Georgia, and we discovered this place through Instagram. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed-the exterior looked beautiful, and although the crowd leaned older, that didn't bother us at all. We were seated right away, and our server (I wish I remembered her name!) was incredibly knowledgeable, especially when helping us choose wines that would pair well with our meals. She was attentive throughout the evening, and we felt well taken care of. We absolutely loved the oysters, the wine, and our entrees-everything was delicious. We left feeling happy and satisfied. Great experience all around! read more

I think this was an off night. I went with my girlfriend for her birthday dinner. Everything started off fine. We had a reservation, the inside was clean with low lighting. Our server was friendly, and our drinks came in a reasonable time and were correct. That's when things started going down hill... Another drink that we didn't order arrived at our table for some reason. We ordered the ceviche which was supposed to come with avocado, ginger, kalamansi. There was no avocado, and no kalamansi. It was mostly purple onion. When we asked for the avocado, we got a gray/green avocado puree. Next was the oysters. Broiled with chipotle butter. Rather, drowned in chipotle butter. More butter than oyster. We got 4 of them...for $19. So 2 drinks, 4 oysters, and mostly purple onion was $75. Well, it would have been more because the drink we DIDNT order showed up on our bill (which they did remove upon request). "Would you like to order entrees?" No, we will go somewhere else. read more

Come and check out the newly relaunched, Lure kitchen and bar and stay a while for some happy hour specials from 4 to 6 PM. There are a myriad of dish options. Some of the favorites include crispy shrimp, the AguaChile, and the caviar deviled eggs. We sampled a couple of options from the crab fries to the seasonal oysters to the lovely salad with tahini dressing and pomegranate. Oysters are half off during happy hour so you don't wanna miss it! Showed up to Olivier on the delicious not a dingdong, chocolate dessert. It was so innovative and delicious and last but not least the bubble waffle with lychee, tropical fruit Ube and strawberry ice cream was so whimsical and delightful. I am very impressed. read more

I've walked past this establishment a number of times, and finally decided to drop in for happy hour. Best decision ever. The vibe inside the restaurant is super stylish. You can tell they took time to develop the aesthetics. Bree and Elia(sp?) took care of the sinks and service for the evening. Both of them were excellent bartenders and gave stellar recommendations. On top of that, Bree was nice enough to add me to the rewards program. I had (2) of the best old fashioned I've had in some time, a dirty martini, and a Sazerac served up at my request. All of which were sensational. For my food choices, I elected for the half dozen happy hour oysters, a soft shell crab bao, and a blackened salmon taco. The mignonette for my oysters was really tasty. The bite on it was tart and tasty. The bao was delicate and packed with flavor. The blackened salmon was out of this world. I'm coming back today read more

From the moment my son and I walked in, we knew our experience would be great. The decor is casual, warm, and inviting. We sat at the bar and had a great conversation with the bartender. We were not drinking and asked her about NA options. She was very helpful and personable. She also provided great advice when it came to entrees. We had the Tackle Box as an appetizer. A fantastic shrimp cocktail that was very unique. Tasty ceviche and a half dozen oysters. Yum! We shared the sea bass and salmon entrees. The sea bass was good. The salmon was amazing. Cooked mid rare it melted in our mouths. For great seafood, throw a lure in the sea! read more

Went back to Lure with some good pals in celebration of my 39th birthday (actually 55th, but I'm 18 with 37 years experience). I've been here numerous times with usually good results, but last night wasn't one of them. For starters, we had the hamachi crudo and fritters with southern aioli. fritters were very good, and we all enjoyed the zing and crunch of that dish. the hamachi, however, was an ill-conceived plate where the fish was smothered in fruit cocktail and the hamachi was not even detectable. if you're serving hamachi crudo, the fish needs to be the star of the dish... and it wasn't. I attached a picture of that dish for reference. moving on to my main, which was swordfish: the fish itself was cooked ok (my sense is that it sat under the warming lamp too long) but the real issue I had was that it was served with an unctuous brown sauce more suited to a filet mignon or porterhouse. the sauce made absolutely no sense with the flaky delicacy of swordfish; I've cooked swordfish countless times at home and on no planet would I use that sauce (should be white-wine-based with capers and acid). the accompanying carrots and potatoes were not cooked correctly and were also ill-conceived. my co-diner had the mussels and pork-belly buns for his entree, both with their own problems. his mussels were over cooked and the sauce work was oddly out-of-whack with the protein. his buns were served with minuscule amount of pork, which was all gristle, and basically inedible. Lure comped both of his dishes. lone bright spot was my other co-diner's spiced salmon and street corn, which were both quite good. plating was off on his salmon, but it was quite tasty. I will also say last night's service was also pointedly lackluster, with plates sitting too long on the table and one guy asking to clear when we were barely halfway done. we appreciated the manager coming to speak with us when we offered notes for the chef, but in reality it shouldn't have come to that. they informed us Lure was in the midst of a chef changover, but that shouldn't have affected our meals in the way it very obviously did. in all honesty I love this place. the setting is superb and I want Lure to succeed, which is why I'm going into such detail here. for the amount of money we spent last night (without removals it was around $85 per person) we were extremely disappointed. for reference, the hamachi itself was $21 and the swordfish was $31. hoping these notes help the kitchen excel in the future. read more

Lure - just a gorgeous bar - Seafood Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

It was 5 stars across the board! This place is a hidden gem in Midtown. Love the ambiance of this spot. Dining room is an intimate spot with cozy seating. We were seated right away by the hostess out in the patio around where the plants give the space a quiet semi private haven with minimal noise from the street. Marco our server came right over to ask if we wanted water ( they have choices!), see if we had any questions about the menu and to take our drink orders. Apart from Marco being wonderful what we also noticed was the teamwork exhibited by all the staff. Every server who walked by our table spoke and enquired if we needed anything. The young ladies who brought our drink, stopped and chatted. The manager stopped by our table to check on our food and the service. The food was delicious! Bisque was rich and creamy with lots of crab. Our fish entrees flaky, juicy and not overdone. We didn't have time for dessert but no worries, I'm sure we'll be back. To be noted there is a great selection of bourbons so stop by for the daily happy hour! read more

Went to Lure for dinner with my family and we loved it! The ambience was perfect for date night and still family friendly. This is a great seafood restaurant that we will definitely frequent.

Tasteful seafood themed decor with lots of wood furnishings. Catfish bites were delicious! I expected the texture of the fish to be more rough but it was very smooth and cooked to perfection. The tartar sauce paired well with it. While the portion size of the swordfish was not too big, it was cooked very well and I really enjoyed the au poivre sauce (an unusual accompaniment for a seafood dish) along with the potatoes and parsnips. The NY strip had a delicious charred crust and the kale, which soaked up the savory sauce, introduced an interesting texture to the dish. We ended the dinner on a cheerful note with the ricotta donuts which were the perfect level of sweetness (not too sweet). Pretty pricey but well worth the splurge. read more

Let me start with the pros: Service was impeccable. Our server "D" was knowledgeable, kind, and prompt, all with a smile! Ambiance was very chill and romantic, perfect place for a date night. For the most part, the food was incredible. We got the oysters, which were prepared with a parmesan topping. Divine! I also tried the corn/shrimp soup, which was rich and creamy. Delicious. We shared the baby street corn which my partner devoured! He also ordered the salmon, which was cooked to perfection. Unfortunately, my trout was over salted, which is why I'm giving them 4 stars. I wanted to love my food, but the saltiness was hard to overlook. I'd return to give them another try because everything else was great! read more

I came with a large party and no one was particularly happy with the food. We originally wanted to go to South City (went the next day and everyone enjoyed it) but the wait was long and we were too hungry. It was a disappointing experience but I wouldn't have reviewed if it wasn't for the additional gratuity that I included. Another friend made the same mistake. They have an automatic 20% service charge and didn't inform us. Sure, that's on me for not carefully reviewing my receipt but whenever that's been the case at other restaurants, I've been informed before payment. The fact they didn't, and ignored the email I sent the same night, tells me they're intentionally being deceptive. Also, seems like a couple recent reviews complained about being overcharged as well so beware... read more

My waiter JP was great! I had a fifth group gift-card given to me in december hat i wanted use before i headed back home to LA. So i searched the groups website again to decide where i wanted to try and Lure seemed like my best. Im so gald i went. The watermelon salad was ABSOLUTELY delicious. The blue crab dip has been on my brain since the day I left. The house made chips were perfectly baked and seasoned. The lobster Mac was okay. That chipotle parm on the charbroiled oysters was a spin on the classic chargrilled oyster I have not experienced and I'm a Louisiana girl! I've had plenty variations. Great visit! I recommended them to my folks in ATL before I headed back home! If I'm back soon, I will absolutely be back! read more

Lure, always a great love of mine. My friend and I dined here last night. We decided to meet at 5:30, immediately after work, and I was pleasantly surprised to find their happy hour specials! My friend and I both indulged in Old Fashioned drinks for $7 and I ordered five raw oysters for $1.50 each. The oysters weren't the best I've ever had; they were scrawny and not plump, but for $1.50 I'm not complaining too much. The drink is absolutely worth it for $7! There's a few food items to choose from and a limited selection of drinks on their happy hour menu - it's definitely a deal for being in the heart of Midtown. I wasn't particularly hungry so I ordered a personal favorite, the Baked Crab Dip - hatch chili, jack cheddar, chive, baguette for dinner. I also ordered a cup of the Shrimp & Crab Bisque - house crème fraiche. I ended up tasting one spoonful of the bisque and sent it back, and y'all, I NEVER send food back, but I found this to be incredibly inedible. It was extremely salty and the texture was an oddly thick puree - reminiscent of baby food. If it weren't so salty, I would have tried to finish it but I absolutely could not find a way around eating it. The server was totally understanding and offered to take the item off our bill or have me order a replacement, and I opted to skip on another item. My friend enjoyed the NY Strip Steak - wilted kale , pearl onion, wild mushrooms , cabernet jus. He finished every bite so I'm assuming it's very good! He also tried my baked crab dip and was very complimentary of that as well. After we finished our HH drinks, we moved on to the reason we keep returning to Lure - their punch bowls! We shared a Fizzy Lifting Punch - aperol, peach blossom, orange, prosecco. This was good! Y'all, I've always been a huge fan of Lure but have found that in recent years their menu selection has been a bit disappointing. Gone are the days of calamari and clam chowder. My friend and I both struggled with finding something to order from the menu, and that's disappointing for one of my favorite spots. If you read this, Lure, bring back our favorites, please! We enjoyed fantastic service as always and the atmosphere was warm and inviting - not too busy. Great spot to enjoy a nice evening in Midtown! read more

Lure - Brussels sprouts, baked crab dip, shrimp & crab bisque - Seafood Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Lure is supposed to be a seafood restaurant but they didn't have much of a selection of seafood. We were a party of 8 who dines out together monthly at restaurants around Midtown Atlanta. Our visit to lure was not pleasant. Several of us ordered salads with chicken as extra topping. The salads came out with no chicken on it. They took them back and brought them out again with the chicken. Ok, not too bad so far. The check was ready and most of us started paying though the QR code on the table. I paid for my portion. We then realized they had charged us for the salad plus the $35 chicken entree. The waitperson redid the bill even though several of us had already paid. She said she would reverse the charges and them manager asked us to pay again with our credit card and their handheld machine. So of course a week later I have.2 charges on my credit card. I called the restaurant and talked to the manager and the next day he told me accounting looked at it and they saw no reason to refund my $76. I have filed a dispute with my credit card company, and you can be assured we will never return to Lure. I doubt they will be in business much longer anyway. read more

What can I say...this restaurant is everything! We had a reservation and were seated right away. The restaurant is dimly lit, good set up for a date night or just a casual dinner. The server brought out a glass bottle of water and filled up small glasses for us. She gave us time to look over the drink menu and and choose appetizers. She gave us some of her favorite choices. We went with the char broiled oysters: 3 with the Crawfish Mornay Sauce and 3 Scampi. Our favorite was the scampi. After ordering drinks, she went over the dinner menu with us. Everything sounded delicious. We decided on the Shrimp Tagliatelle and the Pan Seared Gulf Sea Bass. Each entree was flavorful and plated nicely. I will definitely be back! read more

I came to Lure for a work happy hour. There is paid street parking as well as valet. We had a reservation for our party and were seated early as our party was arriving. During happy hour, Lure has some drink specials and $1.50 oysters. For our table, we got 2 dozen oysters, 2 orders of Lure's Hushpuppies, and 2 Baked Crab Dips. The oysters were an assorted selection from what they had and were pretty good. The Optimist is definitely my place of choice! The Baked Crab Dips were exceptional! It was so yummy and had a nice mix of crab. They also have some veggies you can get if you prefer no bread. The Hushpuppies were nice and moist, but really average. I got a Hurricane drink special and ordered the Carolina Trout for my entree. My favorite thing on my entree was the horseradish-chive potato. It was seasoned so well and the horseradish was just the right amount. The trout was cooked well with a crisp skin. The sauce that was plated was stunning and really helped with the fish. I think Lure was pretty good and had a great atmosphere for happy hour or date night. Steamhouse down the street definitely has a different vibe, but I would prefer that over Lure. read more

Parking Parking is horrible we ended up parking 3 blocks from Lure. Sunday parking was $20, the parking lot was sketchy and isolated. However, after speaking to the gentleman at the front of the restaurant he stated next time to park at the Moxy Hotel. I think the Moxy is a couple of blocks from Lure. Restaurant Upon entering Lure the decor is minimal, but nice. My spouse and I were the only diners in the restaurant. Our server was very pleasant and came to the table as soon as we were seated. Food Now it goes downhill for us. My spouse ordered the Gulf Sea Bass. The summer squash were chopped very rough and large. She could not cut through the squash with her fork. I ordered the char broiled oysters Rockefeller. I did not have any spinach. They were salty and did not have the char broiled flavor. I also order the Blue Crab Dip with potato chips. It tasted like old bay seasoning on the potato chips. Very salty. I did not taste blue crab in the dip. First bite of the dip has a very vinegary taste. Unfortunately, this restaurant is not a do over for us. read more

I recently visited this restaurant on my birthday and had a truly great experience. The food was delicious, and the service was top-notch. The ambiance of the place is a nice chill vibe. I must say that our waiter was PHENOMENAL, making the entire experience all the more special. From the moment I walked in, to being served with my meal, and finally, being presented with a candle on my dessert for my birthday, I felt like I was truly valued as a customer. The level of service and attention to detail was truly impressive and made my birthday celebration even more memorable. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food, exceptional service, and a memorable experience. The next time you're in town, be sure to stop by and treat yourself to a meal here - you won't regret it! *sorry I forgot to capture the main dish but we had the Carolina Trout which is to die for.

Food: I ordered the kale Caesar salad, hush puppies and a dozen oysters for starters. The Caesar salad was really fresh and the browned croutons gave it a good extra flavor. The hush puppies were good overall, but some of them were a little over cooked on the outside. The sauce though was GREAT. The oysters were super fresh and came with cocktail sauce, crackers, horseradish, vinegar. I ordered the trout and the flavor from the potatoes and the crispiness of fish was so good. They didn't overdo it with the seasonings on the fish which brought out the natural flavor a lot more. Service: our server was amazing. He knew the menu really well and made some great recommendations. Food came out really fast. read more

Lure - Seafood Cavatelli Gratin - Seafood Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Setting was energetic. Staff also energetic, if somewhat clueless. But what really sealed the deal was the food. Got champagne (it was a celebration). Didn't have the bottle we wanted, but they offered a substitute. The server volunteered he'd never heard of the vintage, which filled all of us with confidence. Oysters were fine. Crispy shrimp? Woopsie. Forgot about that. The nice server had watched The Bear (or his training manager had and kept saying "Heard." Heard? Yes. Listened to? Not so much. When those shrimp did show up the coconut was completely overwhelmed by the Texas Pete buffalo sauce in which they'd been drenched. Then my spicy shrimp bisque showed up. Was it spicy? Yes. Was there a shrimp? Yes, one, from a frozen bag somewhere deep in the walk-in. In a charming, if not aggressive, break with tradition, the bisque was not a smooth, creamy, highly seasoned French soup. It was a watery bowl of spice, unchopped onions and quartered tomatoes. Its best look was after the server had flung a fair amount on the table and my blazer. So what does one do with this disappointment? One goes to Blue India for a curry. Lure is aptly named. Don't be the fish. read more

I came to Lure for my birthday and I absolutely LOVED it ! Marcco was our server and he was so knowledgeable of the menu, very attentive and personable! He made the experience even better. I ordered the chargrilled oysters as a starter and they were incredible, my mom and aunt ordered the lobster bisque and hush puppies and the lobster bisque was super creamy and actually had nice sized lobster in the dish. The hushpuppies weren't dry and the sauce that came with them was soooo good!! For my entree I did the trout and it was amazing! It was very light and refreshing dish, not too heavy but it was a little on the saltier side. The swordfish was soooo good though, if you like something more flavorful and filling, I recommend that instead. Lastly we got the Peach roasted sundae for dessert and it was so good! Had to break my diet for that one. They were so sweet they also brought out a birthday dessert also and it was so amazing! I am definitely coming back and thanks Marcco for the amazing service! read more

I took my wife for our anniversary dinner. The location and the ambience are great. A little noisy for a more intimate dinner, but the place was packed the night we went. They start your meal off with the most delicious bread. Ive seen it posted in multiple reviews and yes it's worth the hype. Savory, soft, salty! We then move on to appetizers. We had the octopus, rock shrimp (not on the menu), and raw oysters. Great selection and great oyster, our favorite were the Blackberry and Duxbury prime. The rock shrimp was a bust: small shrimp soaked in butter and lacked all sense of flavor. The octopus was chewy and overcooked and drenched in a sauce. Now our main dishes were amazing. My wife had the (Sole?Wolffish?), she can't remember and it's not on the current menu. The breading was perfect and the first was not overdone. Paired with the black-eyed peas, this felt like more of a southern style savory dish. I believe (I also honestly can't 100% remember now) I had the redfish with a celery puree. I do remember the fish was cooked perfectly and paired well. We devoured our entrees! We also ordered drinks. Honestly not bad. Pretty good bartenders. I had the Topsail and while it was good, not worth the price. Service was okay. Our server was good but not the most attentive. She also made some recommendations, but pretty much everything recommended was not great. Overall for the bread, oysters, and entrees, I enjoyed this place.
