    Stopped by on a random Saturday after receiving at text from them saying that everything was 50% off and who can pass up that great deal! Parking was $10 to self park or valet. My boyfriend and I stopped by midday, we didn't have a reservation, but we were quickly seated. We decided to sit out back on their outdoor patio and it was spacious, had tvs, and and a nice vibe! Our server was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. For food; I went with the fried shrimp basket and my boyfriend went for the chicken plate. We both really enjoy our food and service!

    Salmon and pasta with garlic bread

    From the moment we stepped out of our Uber, it was a time! Security was cool, the waitress was cool and the food, beyond cool! I had pasta and salmon, oh my goodness!! SO GOOD!! There was an electric vibe that escalated as it got later. Check it out when you're in the ATL!!

    It started of interesting, then reeeeally swung toward the positive. Parking is still a little weird, but we found a spot around the corner. Then we were able to get a table in the patio-like area, which has a pretty set up! You have to text a number to pull up the menu on the phone, BUT once we got our orders in, things started to look up! IMPORTANT TO NOTE: There is FREE hookah before 6pm on weekdays. Heart eyes, okay? They were out of a few wines we tried to order, but the bottle of Pinot Grigio we settled on was actually really tasty. And when the food came, the portions were HUGE! It was fried heaven and GREAT eating. I really like the calamari and truffle potatoes personally. Maybe next time I'll try the crab soup. Also a fan of the octopus egg rolls. The vibe was great and more people started to trickle in as the night went on, so it was active and the playlist was lit. We stayed longer than expected, and we would have stayed even longer if schedules allowed. In short, very pleased with my experience.

    March 2025: I kicked off my weekend at Octopus ATL, and let me tell you--it did not disappoint! If you're looking for a seafood and Mediterranean spot with great vibes in the heart of Atlanta, this is it. Our server was super friendly and helped us to navigate the menu to choose the most delicious menu items. Brunch here runs every Saturday & Sunday until 5 PM, and they do it right. I grabbed a seat on their gorgeous garden patio, enjoyed the fresh air, and indulged in: Chicken & Waffles - crispy, flavorful, and the perfect sweet-savory combo Lamb Chops & Eggs - cooked just right and packed with flavor Calamari - crispy and tender with the perfect dipping sauce Fried Shrimp - seasoned to perfection The music kept the energy high, the cocktails were chef's kiss, and the vibes? Absolutely unmatched. Plus, they've got $75 Moët Rosé bottles, shisha, and plenty of TVs if you're trying to catch the game. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, planning a date night, or just switching up your usual brunch plans--Octopus ATL is definitely worth checking out! 1551 Piedmont Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30324 Will I be back? Absolutely.

    Octopus kitchen is my go to for free hookah and great food. The ambiance is a vibe and they have good food and music. If you need a great server make sure you ask for Izzy. She is amazing!

    Shrimp Alfredo, calamari, tiger shrimp

    What a weird little place. This place is prime for a pros and cons list: Pros: food is great and fresh, service is great, hookah burned great, ambiance is quirky, vibe is distinctly Atlanta, and the bar is impressive in terms of look and variety. There are TVs everywhere and I love watching sports so that's fun too. I like the decorations a lot as it has an updated but older feel with character. Cons: this place is very, VERY overpriced. Salad, 5 shrimp, and rice for $41 is just unnecessary. I got metal detected upon walking in which was fine except that means there's a reason they're metal detecting on the way in which is not great. "Standard" valet was $20 to move my car maybe 5 feet. This place has no idea what to be. Is it an upscale seafood restaurant? A hookah lounge? A sports bar? A club? Yes to all. I'm not mad about it as the concept seems viable enough. It's just confusing and a bit of a rip. 4/5

    Lamb chops

    Celebrated my 45th bday here, this past Saturday, 11-25-2023. I made reservations for a party of 25 ppl for 6:30. My first impressions when I walked in was, I thought it was small, and thought I was a bit over-dressed, but hey it was my bday, so I dressed for MY NIGHT! The hostess at the front was very young and apparently didn't know much about the restaurant or valet parking info. We were seated in the very front b/c that's the area that they reserved for us. Our waitress, Roxy was attentive and very helpful...well at least to me. One of my guests said that she was rude to them. Also, one more thing to add, from the pics. I thought that this was more of a classy, grown n sexy spot...NOT! However, it was still nice! The waitresses had on booty shorts...not a good look to celebrate a grown n sexy bday...but hey..is what it is! I ordered fried shrimp as an appetizer, which was very tasty. For my entree' I ordered the lamb chops...VERY GOOD! So good, that my friend n her husband was picking at my leftover bones!! LMBO!! My husband initially ordered the seafood pasta, which he returned b/c he didn't know it was spicy and he said that it wasn't good AT ALL! His replacement order was shrimp pasta which he said was a much better choice! Be aware that parking is a bit confusing! We valet ($20) parked, but mostly everyone else parked in other areas close to the restaurant and just walked the short distance. All in all, we had a good time and enjoyed the food and drinks! P.S. I didn't receive my complimentary champagne that I was included, but not a big deal b/c I'm not a big drinker. Also, hookah was complimentary (which I did receive).

    Lemon pepper, wings, french fries , and hookah
    Melo L.

    I would recommend shrimp and grits Waitress service - great Wait time - 10-15 mins Food - wings, and tings Ambiance- nice spot to grab lunch or dinner Overall I would come back had a great time

    Mussels- good, the sauce is very rich, a bit too much so..
    Alla A.

    We came mid day on a Sunday. The place wasn't too busy. The service was prompt and friendly. The food was hit and miss.. we liked the truffled potatoes appetizer and calamari. We were not fans of the crab soup. The Sautéed Octopus stole the show, it was delicious. The mussels were tender but the creamy sauce was almost overly rich.. the linguine was ok. Overall, we enjoyed our time. The only thing that would make me go back however, was the octopus dish.

    Lamb chops and double side of fries
    Dee-Dee W.

    So I met a friend for lunch here when they had a 50% special on the entire menu. She'd been but it was my first time. We both had lamb chops. I substituted the rice and broccoli that it usually comes with for a double side of fries. I do wish there was more variety in the sides but the fries were really good. Lamb chops were tender and juicy. The place is small but it's a cute little feel. They have hookah too for those that like it. Our waiter was really nice too. No complaints about her. A 20% gratuity is added which was fine with me. I'd go back for. Just don't like the parking situation. Valet is $30 so I parked across the street and just walked over.

    Whole Mediterranean Sea Bass
    NyShell B.

    My fish was REALLY REALLY good, my husbands pasta was a bit bland and the shrimp were overcooked, the drinks were SKRONG! This is the perfect place to meet up with a friend to have cocktails to talk crap about your work week, do a little hookah, and listen to your favorite jams. My husband and I went here for a date night, and though it wasn't what we expected it was a really good vibe and would come back again. I will say the service was a bit slow but our server was nice and the owner was really friendly as well.

    I went on Valentine's Day which is probably the main reason for the over-crowding. We were initially sat at a table between two other tables but the tables were so close it felt like we were on a date with the 4 ppl beside us. Idk if this was just due to it being Valentine's Day or if it's always set up in this manner. Luckily we were able to move to the bar and that was much more comfortable. We ordered drinks, amazing margaritas btw!, and had the shrimp basket and lemon pepper buffalo wings and a Caesar salad. The food came out pretty quickly given the crowd and everything was delicious. The music was creating a great vibe and the service was great. I'll definitely try it out again.

    Is there a age limit to attend a birthday dinner?

    There is no age limit as it is a restaurant, however, the vibe is more of a lounge so keep that in mind.

There probably isn't a bar in the city that offers as breathtaking of a view as does Moonlight. The panorama of all three of Atlanta's skyscraper centers is clearly visible, along with the historical architecture of Ponce City Market. The crowd is mix of tourists and locals in their 20s and 30s. The cocktails are solid. Food is decent, nothing to rave about, but again, hopefully nobody is here for the food. The lobster roll was very bread heavy and the useless dab of caviar was just a wasteful decoration.

Having dined at Elektra already this weekend, we wanted to try something different. Hostess started with some type of unposted dress coded nonsense because my son was in a hoodie (which he agreed to remove) before we were granted access. Arrive inside and it's standing room only at the bar - all seating areas are clearly designed for large groups and they're all occupied, as were the handful of actual seats at the bar. Proceed to order numerous dishes from the menu to-go. Bar tenders, in fairness, were very pleasant btw. Nowhere to wait except standing there like idiots until bartender says we can sit in a reserved section for a bit. Nasty waitress comes by soon after to usher us away, despite conflicting instructions from the bar. Anyway, insult to injury when it appears I've been charged a service charge and a gratuity charge and the dishes were small and mostly not great. The wings were ok, but the grilled cheese was gross, the flatbread was minuscule, the cheese plate was meh. Overall, between the mostly rude to indifferent staff attitude, lack of seating, and poor quality of food this place deserves a pass. ,

For the record, I was wearing Prada platform sneakers, a Cartier watch, Chanel earrings, Fendi, baguette, and a French-terry top. So while I may not have met whatever arbitrary standard she was enforcing, I was hardly dressed in a way that justified being treated like an intrusion. Frankly, it was clear my top alone was worth more than her entire outfit that looked like it came from Filene's Bargain Basement for tor a funeral director. In the end though, manners, as they say, cannot be purchased. Southern hospitality is a joke. This was absolutely the rudest person I've ever I encounter in 47 years at an establishment.

I didn't realize that the two were connected! FYI, if you sit downstairs, you'll be seated next to where the live music performers will be playing, so it will be louder there.
