I wasn't sure what to order especially since I was excited looking at the menu initially. I ordered the famous lobster bisque. I was disappointed, all around. Maybe it's better hot since it cooled down a little by the time I ate it. I also ordered the crab & shrimp (fried) dinner. The shrimps were fine, basic fried shrimps with cocktail sauce. The crab legs are steamed ... shouldn't be a problem. While I give this a 3. I'll try them again for the oysters. I'm hoping to have a better in house experience with those.

It was a nice treat for brunch and definitely really unique. I'd order it again for sure. Chicken and Waffles - 4.5/5 - one of my favourite dishes and had to have it while I was in Atlanta! They didn't disappoint and it was really tasty. Would definitely come here again if in Atlanta for brunch. Service - 5/5 - We came back in July 2026 (catching up on reviews) and our waitress, Sydney, was such a delight. She was so sweet, had great, prompt service, and she even tried to get us a peach to try (though they didn't have any left) since we were from out of town and wanted to try. Thank you for the memorable experience. Biscuits - 4.5/5 - So yummy and fresh with butter. Loved it. Atmosphere - 5/5 - it was such a unique place, felt like being in someone's home, but as a restaurant, and really liked it... had a very southern feel.

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.

Because who wants to dine looking at parked cars? Our waitress was so kind and told me her name was Lauryn as in Hill so as a fan I knew I'd like her! She was knowledgeable of the menu and offered our group suggestions. We started with east coast oysters, bread & butter, truffle fries, calamari, and spicy cucumbers. It was so delicious with the cucumbers knocking it out of the park! I need that recipe! For my entree I ordered the recommended freshly made linguini with thinly sliced garlic (think Goodfellas) and clams swimming in butter sauce. It was a party in my mouth! Can't wait to go back!

I ordered a couple of items so I could taste a little bit of everything. I started out with the roula-mula cocktail which was their take on a mule with vodka and rum in it. I was really surprised it wasn't served in a copper mug. For food we had the crab claws, a half shrimp poboy and sweet potato fries. Other entrees at my table was the fried catfish basket and the Etoufee. Everything was very flavorful and really good.

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.

The restaurant was much smaller and less impressive than expected, with tables packed very close together. We waited several minutes to be greeted, our reservation didn't seem to matter, and service felt disorganized from the start. We weren't given menus or silverware until we asked, and attention to detail was noticeably lacking throughout the visit. The food was absolutely the highlight. Everything we ordered was delicious and lived up to the hype. However, for a bill that approached $300 for just two people, I expected a better atmosphere and overall experience. I'm big on ambiance, especially when booking a place for a birthday or date. Part of what hurt the experience was being seated beside a group dressed very casually in sweats and hoodies, with one guest working on a laptop and taking over an extra table. That's not a criticism of them, but it didn't align with the elevated dining experience the restaurant's pricing and online reputation seem to suggest. A dress code or a more curated dining environment would go a long way toward creating the upscale atmosphere they're aiming for. Great food, but great restaurants create an experience, not just a meal. For me, Crescent delivered on the food but fell short on the service, ambiance, and attention to detail needed to justify the price. Not somewhere I'll be returning for a special occasion.
