I recently visited Pirates Boil in Smyrna with a friend and our kids, and we decided to try a…read morelittle bit of everything. Overall, it was a really good experience with plenty of flavorful food and great service. We ordered three different boil bags: one with shrimp, another with Dungeness crab and mussels, and a third with shrimp and lobster tail. On top of that, we also ordered regular calamari, Cajun calamari, fried okra, 12-piece lemon pepper wings, and steamed oysters. Most of the food was absolutely delicious. Everything came out hot, well-seasoned, and full of flavor. The boil bags were definitely the highlight. The shrimp, crab, and lobster were cooked well, and the seasoning on the boils was great. The calamari, wings, and fried okra were also solid and perfect for sharing. The only major disappointment was the oysters. Unfortunately, they were some of the worst oysters I've had. They were barely steamed and almost felt raw, and the seasoning mixture on top was not good at all. We ended up sending them back, and they were removed from our bill, which I appreciated. For drinks, I ordered a strawberry cocktail that usually comes with Ketel One vodka, but we asked for Tito's instead. After drinking it, I'm not completely sure the switch was actually made, and it also wasn't listed on the receipt. What really stood out was the service. Our server was very kind, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of throughout the meal. The food came out in a timely manner, and everything was served hot. For all the food we ordered, the total came out to a little over $150, which felt very reasonable considering the amount of food. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely come back again. I just won't be ordering the oysters next time, and I wouldn't recommend them. Thank you Pirates Boil Smyrna Team Kay Lachelle

They arrived hot and smoky with garlicky herb butter and a crispy parmesan crust. Next up The Oysters Rockefeller: Prepare with spinach, cheese and panko breading. They were fresh and briny. The Main Dish: Blackened Redfish with Lobster Risotto: . The Cajun seasoning created a charred crust that made the fish savory and flavorful. The Lobster Risotto: It was rich, and packed with chunks of sweet lobster meat. The creamy pasta was the ultimate counterpoint to the bold, spicy kick of the blackened fish. This place did not disappoint!

We've been there a few times and…read moreit is nice to live near a place where there is a decent exchange and you leave feeling good. I do love their red fish with I think it's a Tasso cream on grits and I do love his seafood salad. It's beautiful crisp and I can have that for just my meal ,full of seafood. I haven't even tried to dive into the sushi, but such a nice variety. I know it's all good. I can find nothing wrong with this establishment. I highly recommend!

We really like the area where this place is found. Full of locals all around. The decor is fun and…read moreit has a nice bar area. This is a family place with varied table sizes and groups. It also has outdoor covered seating with a tv. We had reservations, got a table and were seated quickly. It soon gets very full and very very loud. There are hard surfaces everywhere making this much worse. In order to compensate for this noise issue the tables have like an egg-shell material attached underneath. This can be a bit off-putting when you put your napkin in your lap and feel something fairly strange under there. We both order fish. Me, shrimp & grits and my husband, an assorted plate of fried fish, shrimp and oysters and chips. He specifically asked for no fired oysters, and the waitress offered to bring extra shrimp instead of oysters. My shrimp was good and served fairly warm, the grits were cold. My husband received all the things including the oysters and only 4 shrimp. We would have asked for it to be fixed but no one came by to ask how our food / dinner was going. When the waitress finally came by to ask if we wanted dessert we mentioned it but she didn't offer to fix anything, just to bring us some shrimp but by that time we didn't want it. We were also visiting ATL and didn't have anywhere to take it back to or warm it up in the hotel. So overall it was a bit disappointing but some may really enjoy the place.

It was three of us in our party and we sat at the bar on the indoor/outdoor patio. Brandon was our bartender/server and he was very personable and made good recommendations.

My companion and I dine at C & S Oyster Bar at the Brookhaven location on New Year's Eve…read more My companion and I had reservations for 8:00 p.m., yet we were not seated until approximately 8:40 p.m. During that time, we were left standing near the entrance, exposed to very cold air each time the door opened. Unfortunately, the discomfort continued after we were seated, as our table for two was positioned near the entrance, and we were repeatedly subjected to cold drafts throughout our meal. To add insult to injury, I ask the server, a black lady who looked like she was a recovering crack addict, what sides would be a good choice with the lump crab cake? I was simply directed back to the menu. I ordered one lump crab cake with two sides. However, when the plate was delivered, she told me that an extra crab cake had been added. This significantly increased the cost of the dish to nearly $80. I did not request an additional crab cake and was surprised by the charge. 2oz. of red wine served in a Bordeaux glass at a cost of $25.00, LOL. This is to be expected, but not serving an extra crab cake to inflate the bill. Overall, our bill exceeded $200, which was especially disappointing given the service issues and overall experience. I had much higher expectations for a New Year's Eve dinner; however, that extra charge was taken care of in the tip. Thanks Ms. Disingenuous! Maybe your service will be better going forward. Sincerely, Will never eat there again!!!

The service was great, she was attentive and knowledgeable of the menu providing us with great recommendations. We had a smattering of appetizers for the table. My favorite being the alligator which had a sweet Thai chili sauce on it which made it spicy and sweet. And the. For dinner I had the crawfish étouffée with dirty rice. It was really good, a bit spicy but overall really delicious. *please note that the menu changes every 3-6 months.

I hate to leave this review, but I feel it is necessary to help others. We went to Pappadeaux…read moreat Windy Hill to celebrate a birthday, and unfortunately our encounter was extremely disappointing. We ordered two appetizers, including the shrimp and crab fondue, and my son found a bug in the fondue. At that point, we immediately stopped eating. The manager came over, apologized, and said she would have another one prepared which we appreciated but we weren't sure if we even wanted it. We had to make a fast decision if we would leave or stay, but since it was Friday We honestly considered leaving, but we were starving and didn't feel like going somewhere else, so we stayed. However, after that, we were really surprised that there was very little follow-up from the manager, no effort from management the attempt to recover the experience. Our server, Skye, was very apologetic and did what she could, but overall the customer service from management was extremely disappointing. At Pappadeaux's price point, finding a bug in your food is already unacceptable, but the lack of proper service recovery made it worse. This should have been handled very differently, and quite frankly, the entire meal should have been compensated. What happened to making sure guests actually have a good dining experience? We chose not to escalate things in the moment, but I can say confidently that I will not be returning to this location. I would strongly encourage others to double-check their food.

I visited Chubby Cattle and let me start by saying... I usually dread buffets, but Chubby Cattle…read moremight have changed my mind a little. Everything was fresh, and I loved that the food was cooked right in front of us. That made a huge difference for me. It did not feel like your typical buffet at all. It felt more interactive and elevated. The options were endless! They had everything. Dumplings, fried rice, sushi, steak, shrimp, ice cream, slushies, like it just kept going. I am definitely spinning the block on this one when I go back to Atlanta again.

The service staff here were pretty kind, when first entering, they were extremely attentive, and we…read morewere seated quickly on a weekday. I did join the membership program, however, I am questioning its value due to the fact that a lot of the benefits are in California where I'm assuming they may be based. Go into this with the expectation that it is different from Korean barbecue, because it is Japanese. However, it is just as delicious. I was a bit upset about the lack of a chicken option, you're going to have to choose between kaarage or a New Orleans style chicken cartilage to grill no boneless / marinated breast or thighs. Go in with the expectation that your eyes may be bigger than your stomach cause you will be charged for access food. However, the quality of the meat was great all of the steak options we had were enjoyable, along with the pork belly! We did get silver cheer, which had a member pricing of $45.99, which I think is typically about $55 without. It's a very well decorated establishment, it reminds me of a street that you'd see with the awnings, it's a fun environment to be in. It's also nice that drinks are included with your meal. I think I'll visit again just for the fact that I'm a member, or one of the sister locations opposed to the one in Atlanta.

This was a pretty nice spot to have a friend date two of my female friends wanted to go out to eat…read moreand catch up and just kind of talk about what going on in life so we decided to go to a restaurant called 404 I had catfish and grits with the Hennessey margarita we also had bottomless mimosas we went for brunch. I was very surprised at how seasoned this catfish was. It was really good and I'm a sucker for a well seasoned catfish grits a lot of times places make these dishes and it tends to be very bland. The drinks are really good and if you're not careful, they will sneak up on you whoever the bartender happened to be this particular day was really good at mixing a drink so you really couldn't taste the alcohol but after about two drinks, you definitely knew the alcohol was there. Our server was pretty new and she did warn us beforehand that it was only like her first week so she didn't have all the answers to everything which was OK because we tend to look up things before coming to a restaurant anyway however, she was still delight to have she gave us some suggestions on things she did try Was very honest about some of the things that she didn't really care for. They do have a live Dj every single night from what the server was telling us and they have drink specials every night as well so if you're looking for after work, just kind of off of the mental stress of the 9 to 5 I think this might be the place to add to your list. The food here was pretty good and we did go for brunch so I'm excited to see what their dinner menu looks like and I think that might be a visit I have later on in the week so stay tuned !!!

Update: I recently returned to Ray's on the River for the first time in ages. This place is an…read moreAtlanta institution. Still good. Simply put, this place suffices for a nice night out if you're looking for steak, seafood, and elevated American/Southern food. They also serve weekday lunch and weekend brunch. Note: Even though the Ray's restaurants are unique to metro Atlanta, this place does have a more corporate/chain feel to it (not saying that's a bad thing). Book your reservation using OpenTable and get dining points. Parking is complimentary valet. I tipped using Venmo. We visited on a Sunday night and the dining room was fairly busy. Here's what I tried: Martinis: * The Meredith ($18) - Grey Goose vodka, extra dirty, Castelvetrano olives * What's the Catch ($18) - Absolut vanilla vodka, Chinola passion fruit liqueur, lychee, lemon Starters: * Pimento Fritters ($17) - original Ray's 1984 recipe, jalapeño jelly * Calamari "Fritto Misto" ($18) - flash-fried, baby vegetables, Ray's aioli Soups & Salads: * Ray's Greens ($14) - Bibb lettuce, fennel, radish, herbs, mustard vinaigrette Seafood: * Horseradish Crusted Black Grouper ($52) - Atomic Horseradish cracker crust, seasonal vegetables, Dijonnaise Sides: * Whipped Potatoes ($14) * Brussels Sprouts ($14) - bacon and shallot jam Desserts: * Warm Butter Cake ($12) - lemon butter cake, blueberry compote, vanilla ice cream * Chocolate Brownie Sundae ($12) - caramelized bananas, strawberries, pecans, vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce Everything was delicious. I enjoyed the martinis and was pleasantly surprised by Ray's Greens (I love salad) and the grouper. The Pimento Fritters are heavy, but can be considered a must, especially if you're entertaining guests from out of town. The desserts were fantastic. Good service. The staff was nice.

She checked on us often and gave great recommendations. We ordered the Wagyu filet, ahi tuna, and also shared a Caesar salad, which was fresh, well-balanced, and a great way to start the meal. Everything was absolutely delicious and perfectly prepared. I started with a classic Old Fashioned, which was excellent. I did venture into the holiday cocktail menu and tried the Jingle Juice, which wasn't quite my favorite, so I happily went back to the Old Fashioned. The atmosphere really tied everything together. There was live music playing in the background, the football game was on, and the Christmas decor was top-notch, making the whole night feel festive and fun. Great food, great drinks, great service, and an overall fantastic vibe.

So I had seen this spot for ages and I have never been inside. So I tried to make a point to go in…read morebecause I was in the area. It's in a shopping center so there are plenty of parking, but you may not be able to park close to where you want to walk to the door to because there are so many other spots there. But the parking is free in Buckhead. So that's a plus! There's spaces inside and outside for you to go to, so that's good, but the inside is very nice and decorated very well. They have TV so you can watch sports but it's not a sports bar so don't get that confused. The bar is a nice size and set it pretty well. Not billions of bottles but just enough to what you need. Dean was my my server and bartender, super good customer service, very warm and communicative, and I would have come back just to sit at the bar with him again. The ball is very well kept and very clean, but the whole establishment was as well. They have a lot of space by the bar and to the other side of the restaurant as well. The menu is predominantly seafood related but they have other things as well. But they have a couple things that look like. They should be really really good so I am going to have to double back! Calamari - The calamari was pretty good. It came out really fast so it makes me think that they were already cooking by the time I ordered LOL. But it had a sweet chili sauce to it, but the calamari seem to be crispy and seasoned enough to where it wasn't a requirement. Brussel sprouts - brussel sprouts for good, kind of wish they had more of them but they were still pretty tasty. Overall. They had the vinaigrette flavor so I know that they were cooked well. They were more firmed and mushy so that was good. I would get them again and I was see. Can I get a full order instead of just a side order because they were just that good. Old bay fries - The Old Bay fries were okay. They had that sodium to where you needed ketchup to kind of bring the sweet. But they were still good though regardless. Shrimp tacos - these were good. Had 3 large shrimp. Got mine blackened and they were just the right amount of taste and flavor. The sauce on it was a little much but that was okay though, it balanced out all of the spice for the peppers and the shrimp seasoning. Gumbo - the gumbo was pretty good and it came in a large bowl, more than you would think a cup would be. Savory and tasty. Overall, with the quality of the food and the customer service, I feel like this place definitely deserves my attention again. The first time I went in I only had a couple of appetizers, and that really didn't do it justice.
