Shrimp and veggie box
Megan Y.

The customer service was amazing. The food was great too. Me and some friends were going to the aquarium and we stopped here for lunch before heading over. I got the shrimp and veggie box. My duo got the same thing but I think he got extra shrimp and veggies. My other friend got a fish sandwich with fries and my other friend got like the goddess shrimp. Everyone enjoyed their food.

After parking in the downstairs garage I came up the stairs to be directly in front of the restaurant. Very easily assemble. It's rather small inside however the assistance was big lol. I was immediate greeted and assisted with ordering. I enjoyed a salmon Caesar salad that was very tasty and came with buttery bread! I also had a glass of rose. This was a perfect Saturday lunch. My meal with drink was about $30. Parking was another $9.

Kee K.

The food here is consistently prepared very well, but I wish things were generally slightly MORE seasoned. The best way I can summarize the food here is: "Fairly normal things, prepared very well." But in general, this place is great. I have eaten here before, and will again in the future. Customer Service is always friendly and welcoming.

Salmon with Greens & Grains

Food was delicious! I had the Salmon with Greens & Grains and Ginger Lime sauce on the side.

Salmon with half veggies half grains
Francie M.

Sometimes you just need a light but protien filled balanced lunch, and this place is perfect for that! You can customize your fish, base, and sauce. I got the salmon with the garlic herb sauce and a base of half veggies and half grain mix. Note the grains have wheat berries mixed into the brown rice and quinoa, which makes it NOT celiac friendly. I'd wish they'd remove the wheat berries (they're hard to digest for even non celiac people). The flavors were delicious! I also got a gingerade drink which was a little funkier than straight juice or lemonade but not too carbonated as I like it. Logistics: - indoor and outdoor seating - parking in building basement garage

Fish & Chips
Lily S.

Got the grilled chicken w grain& veggie. BOGO on DoorDash! The barley was so fresh and yummy. Decent portion of veggies. The chowder however was so watery. And flavorless.

Mega-Protein Powerbox
Joe H.

I was sold on the mega protein power box. I was somewhat full from it which never happens with seafood. All the sauces are the bomb and you can tell they're made in house!

Nikita S.

I asked for fried shrimp tacos and french fries. My meal came with leftover rice in about four french fries. When I requested my money back, the manager or whomever return the transaction said and I quote," "Wasting my damn time." I was so excited to eat here, so this was truly unfortunate.

This salad was amazingly fresh with just enough salmon for a protein rich meal.
Lisa V.

Super light in the restaurant, clean and welcoming with amazing service and hospitality. I love being greeted upon entry.

Sarah B.

Blackened hake power box is the move. It is not much to look but it is so yummy. Get it with the golden ginger lime. Also- if you want to get something to go- better to call them then to use online ordering- they can time it better

I stopped by for dinner here about a month ago while on a business trip. I was there during their golden hour, 4-6PM. The restaurant is clean and decorated with bright nautical decor. It wasn't very busy at all since I was there between the more traditional lunch and dinner hours and on a Tuesday. I was the only one dining in at the time . Ordering is super easy, you mark off everything you want on a laminated ordering card and hand it to the cashier. The service was wonderful. The staff were very friendly but also gave me my space to dine comfortably as a solo diner. Food was so good, fresh, filling but healthy. They also have all kinds of sauces other than your traditional tartar and cocktail sauces that were all a match for any taste preference and paired perfectly with the fish. Not that the fish or any of the food needed anything to make it better. It was already very good on its own. The golden hour specials were a welcomed surprise given how expensive everything is everywhere these days, especially seafood. My food was like $7 off, I had a dinner plate that's regularly $22 that is only $15 during golden hour and I had a glass of wine for only $5. As I ate I noticed many people dropped in to pick up their preorders. They seem to have a very efficient "order ahead" system. I would love to eat here again and wish there was one where I live. Sadly I will have to wait until I find myself back in Atlanta.

How do I get the $7 off 1st order online?Don't see a promo code.

Hey Rodney, you need to download the app and place your first order on the app :)

What are the mask requirements (for a visit in early November 2021)?

Hello Mark, we abide by city and state mandates at the time. If nothing changes, currently, masks are required to enter, however you are welcome to be maskless once you are at your table after you've ordered. Thanks so much for thinking about…

From the outside some might classify Steamhouse as a dive based on physical appearance. However, the staff were welcoming and friendly and once inside the vibe was very positive. The menu is seafood centric with some other options tossed in for good measure. We started our dinner with Sauvignon Blanc and an Old Fashioned as our libation. We followed that with a couple orders of the roasted oyster sample (which included two each of the Oyster Rockefeller, Oyster Danielle, and Oyster Garlic Parmesan) and a half dozen raw oysters. Folks the oysters were hitting, fresh and delicious! We could have made a meal out of a couple dozen of the appetizers alone!! For entrees, we chose the Crab Stuffed Grouper which included snow crab meat and three cheese stuffings over jalapeno cheese grits & steamed broccoli garnish, and the Fisherman's Stew with shrimp, mussels, grouper and calamari steamed in a classic tomato broth served with rice. Both dishes were good and very filling. Our sever Aaryn was attentive and welcoming, and since we were celebrating a birthday comped one of our Key Lime Pie desserts. The dessert included key lime pie with a whipped cream topping,b simply delicious! All in all a very good experience we will definitely mark it down as a spot to visit again.

I absolutely love this restaurant. They are always so welcoming and the atmosphere is really nice…read more It's great for business meetings or a romantic dinner. Making reservations is really simple via OpenTable. They have Valley parking which cost around eight dollars, but there is also a parking garage where you can pay by the hour. They have a pretty large dining room with an area for more private dining as well and they also have seating at the oyster bar. This is my fourth visit and each visit the food has been really good. For our appetizers we got my favorite the shrimp à la Plancha, but I did notice that the bread that comes with the dish has gotten significantly smaller. For dinner we had the fingerling potatoes, which I was not a fan of. They were pretty hard. I got the red fish for my entrée and we got the collard greens for our vegetable and the greens tasted amazing. My friend ordered the She Crab Soup and Fried Oysters and said they were both delicious. I missed out on the Peach cake (out of season) but they had Apple and I liked it.

We also enjoyed our cocktails. That old San Juan will put you underneath the table if you're not careful. (imagine an old-fashioned made with two types of rum). You can eat outdoors or in and the sound level isn't too loud all that's great, but the real star is the food. At our table, we had the spicy kale salad, fried oysters she crab soup, and blackened red fish. All of these dishes were expertly prepare prepared... but that black and red fish was a thing of beauty oh my gosh! Ridiculously delicious. If you're having trouble making up your mind, listen to me right now get the freaking blackened red fish, OK?! I almost forgot we also had dessert. Everyone except for me really loved that apple pudding cake. I thought it was just kind of a mess. But ohhhh, the Keylime pie!! A work of art! So very good.

I remember having the Blueberry Breeze, which was light, refreshing, and just sweet enough with the blueberry and lemon. I also had the Kale Caesar, and I really enjoyed it. The Manchego and Serrano-Caesar dressing gave it a little more flavor than your standard Caesar. The atmosphere was one of the things I liked most about Bulla. It was modern, lively, and social without feeling like you had to scream across the table to have a conversation. It worked just as well for lunch or after-work drinks as it did for sitting down and sharing a few tapas. Service was always friendly and attentive, and the tapas-style menu made it easy to order a few things and share instead of committing to one large meal. The 11th Street location was also right in the middle of Midtown, so it was an easy place to meet up for lunch, happy hour, or dinner. Great drinks, good food, attentive service, and a really nice Midtown atmosphere. Definitely a spot I enjoyed and one I wish was still around.

And those hush puppies were absolutely delicious. I'd literally come back for those. I came here on a whim and there was no wait. Parking was easy to find since there's a private parking lot specifically for the restaurant in the back. To start, I got the Bayou Fog Cutter as my drink. The waitress really hyped it up and I was excited to try but it ended up not being my cup of tea so I opted for the Roula Mule Ah which she said was a version of a Moscow Mule and those I like. She said she had to keep the drink at the original price although it was cheaper which was fine cause I want something I can enjoy. It probably had more to do with her tip which FYI, is already included in your bill. An automatic 20 percent. There was so much on the menu I wanted to try and she suggested a few items like the shrimp po boy, broccoli, chicken bites and étouffée. After reading a few reviews, I got the blackened catfish bang mi. It was good. Just a regular fish sandwich. The star of the show was the hush puppies. People raved about them in their reviews and they did not disappoint. They give a good serving of em too; like 10-12. And they're bite sized. If they were staying open, I'd definitely come back.

I visited on a Sunday, and while I completely understand that the kitchen was overwhelmed with orders, I noticed several plates sitting under the food warmer for quite some time. Since I was seated at the bar, I also had a clear view of the kitchen staff and waiters arguing and yelling at each other about the overflow of orders. It was honestly pretty unprofessional to witness as a customer. I definitely think this restaurant could benefit from better teamwork, communication, and a more organized system for handling busy periods. It would help everything run more smoothly and hopefully cut down on wait times. The restaurant itself is also pretty small, so don't come expecting a spacious or fancy dining experience. But honestly, I don't come here for the aesthetic. I come here to EAT GOOD, and the food never disappoints! Overall, the food keeps me coming back, but there's definitely room for improvement when it comes to service and organization.
