Trust me - their Lobster Bisque is a must get. Unlike many restaurants where "lobster bisque" is more like "lobster flavored heavy crème"... Steamhoise Lounge's Lobster Bisque is loaded with lobster meat and perfectly flavored soup, and not too salty. (Yes; saltiness is my pet peeve as many restaurants masks their flavorless food with loads of salt) The oysters in their raw bar are "fatty" with a hint of ocean saltiness. Their peel and eat shrimp is fresh and crunchy... oh so good!! And finally - I love their Fisherman's Stew.., again, the dish is perfectly seasoned with super fresh seafood. SO GOOD!!!! A must try spot for your visit to ATL.

It was fairly easy to make a reservation on Open Table but they also had seats available when I arrived. The first night I sat at a table by the oyster bar. The second night I sat at the bar in the main dining room and has great experiences both times. Despite it getting busy and full after I arrived, service was quick and attentive. The dining room is large so it can get pretty loud when it's busy. They have lot of seafood options to choose from so I sampled a few different items each time. It is definitely on my list of places to return to when I'm back in town. P.S They also have a small 3 hole mini golf outside to enjoy m.

We have been coming to the ford Frye restaurants for almost 10 years. They've had great service,…read moregreat food and a great time. Over the years we've seen things decrease especially at the optimist. The hosts were great and they always give us great service but the food had been the lacking the last couple of services where the she crab soup lacked crab, the swordfish over cooked multiple times. This time in particular we ordered the whole lobster and was offered to have it taken out of the shell for us. HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND. When we got the lobster we got a full tail but one claw and no knuckles. When we addressed with the server, she argued with us that that's how a lobster is and that there could be more meat hidden on the plate. It felt like she thought we were there to just get more food by saying "so what do you want, more meat" but if we had it in the shell we would have received our full portion. The manager on duty tried to make it up to us by comping the lobster but it was more than that. After going back and forth with the server we just wanted the check to leave. The manager on duty insisted to give us the lobster and take it home. The server wasn't very polite and argued with us about the lobster. I wish I remembered the servers name With that said, the amount of money we have spent there over the years, it's unfortunate that that will be our last time going to the Optimist.

This was my first visit to this restaurant's location, but it won't be my last! The food and…read moreservice were top notch. Yes it's expensive but it's worth it. I did stop by during happy hour and got a dozen raw oysters for $24, so that helped the bill a bit. The cocktails were tasty and my broiled branzino with olive oil and capers was absolute perfection. I traded the haricot verts for carrots (and they were delish). You can't go wrong with a visit to C&S Seafood!

My girlfriend and I chose this restaurant to celebrate her last day of school as a special…read moreeducation teacher and the start of her summer break. This had been on our list of steakhouses to try for quite some time, so we came in with high expectations. Unfortunately, the experience fell well short of them. I started with a $20 smoked Old Fashioned, a cocktail I order regularly at steakhouses. When it arrived, it was nearly clear in color and tasted either heavily watered down or extremely light on bourbon. After I mentioned it, the bartender kindly offered to remake it. While I appreciated the gesture, the replacement took roughly 10 minutes to arrive and ultimately seemed to go in the opposite direction--essentially bourbon and bitters with no noticeable sweetness from sugar or simple syrup. Neither drink felt remotely worth the price, and by the time the second one arrived, much of the meal had already progressed. Things continued downhill when our $35 Crab Louis Salad arrived. The portion of crab was surprisingly small, but more concerning was the fact that multiple gnats or fruit flies were hovering around and landing on the salad while we were trying to eat it. To make matters worse, during the meal I looked down and noticed what appeared to be an old piece of bread and a French fry on the floor beneath our table, seemingly left over from a previous service. It raised questions about the overall attention to cleanliness and detail. What should have been a memorable celebration turned into a disappointing experience. Between the poorly executed cocktails, insects around the food, delayed service, and cleanliness concerns, this visit was a major letdown. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, but for the prices being charged, the experience simply did not match the expectations.

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.

I asked Z to replace. 10min later another server brought our food and I asked if she could replace but she said she'll let our waiter know, 10min later we informed the manager who looks like one of the owners and he said he'll get right on it. 5min later Z returned and asked if there was anything else...still no water. Again I had to ask for water but this time togo since I had finished my meal. I only wanted to leave a 10 to 15% tip but the bill came PRE-TIPPED Anyhoo, I'll be back

We were seated right away in one of the booths. For starters, we shared the brussel sprouts that literally came out within 5 minutes of ordering. I got the smash burger served with two patties and melted cheese but I subbed for sweet potato fries ($2 extra). It was a good burger though I wish the patties were more smashed for the crispness. My husband got the roasted chicken but it was really just thinly sliced chicken breast with a heaping amount of mashed potatoes and chicken jus. We thought their food was pretty good and a nice little gastropub to have in the area. Service was decent. They do offer complimentary valet parking!
