Things I thought I would never say- "honey, let's drive to Acworth to have a memorable seafood dinner in Acworth". Amazing, just amazing. We were a table of 8 dinners and had a fabulous meal and experience. We started with several appetizers that we shared- calamari, mussels, oysters, and spicy crab claws. All of them were outstanding with the mussels just inching out the calamari as my favorite. The sauce that the mussels were cooked in was on point- I haven't had mussels that outstanding since I was in France. We ordered a sundry of entrees amongst us and my crab cakes were very delicious. I did order the full entree and after the starters we had, I almost didn't finish the meal. Threes cheers to our server Ms Dorothy- she kept our beverages filled and the table tidy. Additionally, I need to point out that all of our entrees came out at the same time. That kitchen was humming. I will warn you- wear elastic waisted pants. You will need them! read more

Went to Fish Thyme Wednesday night with my wife. It's located in a strip center, with limited parking. Our table overlooked the parking lot! But, inside was appealing. There is a good selection of seafood and prices were not terribly unreasonable. My wife had an appetizer of fried green tomatoes with she said were good, and Ahi Tuna which came with green beans. She said the tuna was very good. (Not as good as she usually gets when we are visiting on the Gulf. Of Mexico.) I had Oysters Rockefeller which were excellent- large and tasty with plenty of cheese and spinach. I also had the Georgia Trout which was very tasty. Our server was prompt and helpful with selections. $90 for dinner for 2. No alcohol. Probably will return when we are in the mood for seafood. read more

Wanted to like this place really badly. My wife and I wanted to go out and celebrate a great end of the month. I particularly wanted to go somewhere that we haven't been before. We love seafood and the reviews and menu from this place looked promising. We were greeted nicely enough at the door although it's a bit odd when someone says "we only have outside seating". This place looked nice so there is a more professional way to say that. We would have waited for something inside but we weren't given that option. The patio had maybe 2-3 seated tables at the time at around a quarter to 6pm on a Friday night. We were greeted by our incredibly friendly server (red bow but I don't remember her name) Super nice but she didn't seem to know the menu too well. Again we had never been there and we needed some help. We decided on the crab dip. It was bubbly and tasted pretty good although I am not sure why you would put Velveeta on the description. But ok. Make sure to stir it well because the crab didn't seem to appear until we were half way done. I also ordered a margarita. It was excellent. Kudos to the bar tender. Next we ordered our entrees. I ordered the Redfish with mashed potatoes and sliced cucumbers and a quarter caesar salad, and my wife got the horseradish encrusted Grouper. Same sides. You'll notice that I did not take pictures of that. I'll get to that in a minute. The salad was pretty good. Nothing like a Caesar you might have had. At first I thought the lettuce was charred because there were some brown bits that I just picked out. Should have been easily seen by the expo or food runner. Should not have been served. I've had my shots so I ate it any way. Loved the addition of kernel corn and green pepper. And the shaved parm was the only thing that resembled Caesar salad. (Besides the lettuce. Which was brown). After my salad was when things started going south. I mentioned that there were 2-3 other tables there when we were seated. Both left shortly after we got there. Literally every other table on the patio came after we were seated and after we ordered. (It was full when we left) After an hour from when we first sat down my wife and I started to wonder where our entrees were. And the food started coming out. The first was a 4 top, then there were two 2 tops and a party of three who all order AFTER us who got their food. Then 2 more tables got their food. And our table? Still nothing. When the next table got their food, I got up, Found our server and asked her to cash us out for the food and drinks we got. I then told her we were leaving. $42 for what you see pictured. $20 tip. When I mentioned it to the front desk person, she asked me who my server was, Not let me get a manager. This was not a server issue. I couldn't tell WHO the manager was! Never saw a manager. I was in the restaurant business for 30 years and I can tell you one thing; The manager in this place had no idea there was a problem. I'm not sure what "Pay No Mind" list we were on but this night was ruined. Really disappointed. Only reason for 4 stars was the margarita and the fact that plenty of other guest got epic service. Lesson learned. read more

I treated my mom to dinner at Fish Thyme and it was so good. This was my second time going and my moms first time. She really enjoyed it. We started out with the fried green tomatoes appetizer. It has a sauce on it and goat cheese. The tomatoes are a little on the thicker side and could use a little more seasoning. For entrees we ordered the parmesan and potato encrusted flounder and the half order of crab cakes (1). A full order is 2. The crab cake was good and not full of filler. It had a remoulade sauce that paired well with it. For sides we had green beans, creamed spinach, and mashed sweet potatoes. We ended dinner with the rum cake. It was very moist and warmed. It was served along side vanilla ice cream and whipped cream with a caramel sauce. read more

Let me start by saying that this place is a hidden gem in Acworth, GA and the surrounding areas. It should be recognized and visited more, IJS. The food here is always, always fresh, hot and well prepared. From the appetizers to the drinks to the desserts to the food, you can't miss. The only wish is to try everything, but it's best to come back soon, and keep coming. The service from the hostess staff that checks you in. To the serving staff that takes your order. To the management staff that walks around to greet you and welcome you in, this is food service and hospitality done right. Words can't express the level of service from Ms. Dorothy, she is amazing . She is funny, knowledgeable and very attentive to her customers. We come back as often as we can and ask for her. The ambiance is white tablecloths, but on a more relaxed state. They have some soft music playing overhead, but it's not overpowering at all. They have a beautiful large fireplace inside. Plenty of extra seating on the upstairs area. The restrooms are nice and clean and cool. A must visit for date nights, family dinning, groups, individuals or to hang at the bar to watch a game or to chill nice and romantically on the patio - visit soon. read more

4 stars for the great service, nice ambiance & cute bracelets that the owner gave to my 19 month old. The service was excellent! The food came out quick! Drinks were strong & came out soon after we ordered them. Love the paper for tablecloths. My 19 month old enjoyed coloring on the table. The kids menu is on the back of a children's book. Super cute idea. I was reluctant to let my toddler read the book as it was a little old and germs. Loved the idea but I'd prefer a disposable menu. Started with the alligator bites & oyster Rockefeller. Both were delicious! I ordered the blackened Halibut. The lobster cream sauce was great!! Had to order more sauce for the fish. The halibut was a little dry. Probably my least favorite dish. The creamed spinach & mashed potatoes were good. My husband ordered the stuffed flounder. DELICIOUS! Seasoned to perfection! I ended up eating his food. He ordered the hash browns as the server said it was his favorite side. Don't recommend. Just dry hash browns. No seasoning, flavor or anything. Overall, this is a really cute date spot. read more

I've eaten here many times over the years, but tonight's experience was by far the worst. Usually they are on point, so maybe it was an off night. My complaints stem from a lack of communication between service & the management team, and total lack of communication between the manager and the customer. Keep in mind, my rating is based on the overall cost to quality ratio, so I'm judging them harshly because their dishes are on the higher end of the spectrum, and as such I expect better attention to details & customer satisfaction. Our server was overall pretty good, polite, and present. However, drinks trickled out to the table rather slowly; from the time the first couple of drinks arrived to the final delivery of the table's first round, it took about 15 minutes, making it impossible to have a proper toast for the birthday boy. I realize this is a bar staff issue and not necessarily the server's fault. Nonetheless, she kept a sunny disposition. The next issue came with my grilled trout order, which was a victim of a severe grill flareup that made the skin burnt and bitter, so I did not eat it and brought it to the attention of our server, who said that she would have it removed from the bill, agreeing with my analysis. Instead the manager gave the discount to another check at our table, not mine (and it was less than half the cost of the meal). Frankly, if I were the manager I would have made a stop by the table to make sure the resolution was satisfactory, to offer my apologies. All I was told is that the manager didn't do the removal the right way, and that there was no recourse at that point. Because it was a birthday celebration, I didn't raise a fuss, but I sure don't mind sharing my experience here to caution other diners. Appetizers were the calamari & bang, bang shrimp, the former relying on the garlic aioli for flavor while the calamari strips were overly salty and slightly limp. The shrimp were also sodium heavy, missing the three dimensional profile of what I expect from the dish (a little sweet, a little spicy, a little salty). The side items were acceptable; the creamed spinach was the most flavorful part of my meal, the green beans were primarily seasoned with garlic leaving much to be desired, but at least they weren't over cooked like so many southern style green bean dishes are. Considering our table of 9 spent around $1,000 collectively, I expect more from a restaurant. The desserts were on the sweet side for my taste, again relying on one aspect, rather than creating depth, though I will say the key lime pie came the closest to having a complex profile. The chocolate Charlotte is nothing like any Charlotte I have had before (usually a custard with fruits & berries served in a tart pie crust), but rather a dense chocolate cheesecake with a brownie shell, dry lady fingers and an overload of whipped cream drizzled with chocolate syrup...fair warning, it's big enough to feed four people. The strawberry pound cake does highlight the spring freshness of ripened strawberries, but again a bit too sweet for me, not enough contrast. read more

HEADLINE: The Food Here is an Experience not to be Missed. Now to the details. We've been here before, and I'm not sure why I failed to post a review. This was the first time in a while, ONLY because it's a long drive. I love eating outdoors, and the patio is amazing. Inside is nice, so if outside ain't your thing, you'll be fine. Service is excellent. Drinks are top notch. But what is a restaurant without good eats? Let me start by saying I've eaten in 100s of restaurants. So when I say the food here is a cut above the rest, I have a lot to compare it to. It amazes me you can find top notch culinary delights far into the Atlanta suburbs. Started with the crab stuff mushrooms. Big, juicy, loaded with crab meat. We were so hungry I forgot to take a pic. Sorry! I ordered the crab stuffed flounder, and my buddy ordered the seafood pasta. I had a side of corn with peppers, onions, and tomatoes, and a side of hash browns with onions and peppers. You get to pick two sides. He chose to pay the $4 up charge and replace one of his sides with a Caesar salad. It was huge! Not a salad in a bowl. I believe it was a quarter of romaine, nearly a foot long, loaded with a unique blend of cheese, homemade croutons, and I don't know what else, and easily a lunch all by itself, which is why he shared He raved about his pasta. And all I can say is my flounder was hard to stop eating. The beurre blanc sauce on top of perfectly cooked flounder and crabmeat.... So good it almost hurts. But I get to have leftovers in about 10 minutes. There is a reason this place stands packed even tho it's WAY up in Acworth. Hope I did the place justice. One last thing: if you're not a seafood eater, I did see pork chops and steaks on the menu. I might try them one day. But only if they don't have the crab stuffed flounder. read more

Second time eating here...didn't match the first. The "Caesar salad" was pretty awful. Worst I've ever had. Our entrees were flavorless. Service was good, noise level was horrendous. Maybe it was just an off night in the kitchen? But we'll never know because we don't plan to return. So disappointed... read more

We had a pleasant experience. Our waitress, Sarah, was really kind and accommodation. They have an extensive menu and du jour options as well. This is beautiful location recommended by dear friends and I'm glad we finally had a chance to attend. It's great for parties, gatherings, and dinner dates. We started with the Fried Green Tomatoes which left something to be desired---they looked good but necessitates more seasoning. We had to add salt and it seemed to still not be enough. I'd recommend adding seasoning to the tomatoes before breading them. For dinner, I had Stuffed Salmon with side of Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Vegetable of the Day. It was delicious, hearty, and full of flavor. We didn't have dessert. Parking is ample. read more

So I haven't been to fish thyme in a while. I used to take my entire family yearly and myself monthly I just decided to show up last night with my son, which is a chef downtown Started with two apps. Brochette came out cold while the calamari came out hot with half the portion. We were trying not to let that ruin our evening. We ordered our entree with extra sides. My son ordered the cucumber salad. Just plain vinegar and the cumbersome were soft. I brought that to the waiter's attention. He just said I am sorry. Then after a few minutes I was drinking my water talking trying to enjoy our time together and choked on a fly in my water. I normally would order dessert especially their red velvet cake. We decided enough was enough nothing was taken off the check. Then I looked at the floor and saw all the water damage they had obviously from a toilet flood where they just threw a ring over it. read more

I wish I could say my birthday dinner was special--instead, it left me feeling invisible. My date and I, both African American, came in hoping for a joyful evening. What we got was service that felt cold and dismissive. Our server, Garrett, barely made eye contact, didn't smile, and made us feel like we were an inconvenience. We had to ask for basic things like refills and check-ins, while watching Garrett treat nearby (white) patrons with warmth, energy, and consistent attention. The difference in how we were treated was undeniable--and deeply hurtful. What made it worse was that this happened on my birthday--a day meant to feel joyful and full of love. Instead, I left feeling overlooked, disrespected, and emotionally drained. And yet, we still left a 20% tip. Because Garrett's ignorance doesn't get to dictate my character or my reaction. His apparent prejudgment of us--whether rooted in our skin color or his past experiences--doesn't justify treating anyone as less than. This wasn't just bad service. It was a reminder that bias can show up in subtle, painful ways. I hope this restaurant takes a hard look at the culture it allows and the kind of service it stands behind. Because no one, especially on a day as personal as a birthday, should walk away feeling like we did. read more

I love the posh Greek decor inside this restaurant. The servers are all top notch and so attentive. Very classy vibe. Highly recommend the desserts!

This was a great space for a double date! The ambiance made the experience more intimate and enjoyable. From appetizer to entree and even drinks. This is definitely a repeat place! The service was awesome as well. I loved that they didn't rush us, allowed us to stay as long as we wanted, and even encouraged dessert. I was just too full that we had to pass. Appetizer: Four Cheese Crab Dip (tortilla chips were scrumptious). I had: Crab cakes w/cucumber salad (AMAZING) and French fries (so good! Truffle style) My husband had: Salmon w/garlic mashed potatoes and fries. We had NOTHING to take home because it didn't stand a chance! read more

Stopped in on a Sunday with my wife. Place was hopping but we had reservations. Started with the Calamari. Good portion size and good sauce but the dish was a little too greasy. Wife had the brie salad and just loved it. I sampled too and agree with her assessment. The dressing was sweet but not too sweet. Sliced apples really added to the dish and the brie added some depth. I had the ahi in ponzu sauce. Would have liked it a little less cooked but a really good dish overall. The sauce complimented the fish perfectly. Had the slaw and fries which were tasty but a lot of food so I took the fries home for my boy. Waitress was hopping and did a good job. We will def go back, want to try that salad again with a glass of white wine in their outdoor seating area. read more
