From the outside some might classify Steamhouse as a dive based on physical appearance. However, the staff were welcoming and friendly and once inside the vibe was very positive. The menu is seafood centric with some other options tossed in for good measure. We started our dinner with Sauvignon Blanc and an Old Fashioned as our libation. We followed that with a couple orders of the roasted oyster sample (which included two each of the Oyster Rockefeller, Oyster Danielle, and Oyster Garlic Parmesan) and a half dozen raw oysters. Folks the oysters were hitting, fresh and delicious! We could have made a meal out of a couple dozen of the appetizers alone!! For entrees, we chose the Crab Stuffed Grouper which included snow crab meat and three cheese stuffings over jalapeno cheese grits & steamed broccoli garnish, and the Fisherman's Stew with shrimp, mussels, grouper and calamari steamed in a classic tomato broth served with rice. Both dishes were good and very filling. Our sever Aaryn was attentive and welcoming, and since we were celebrating a birthday comped one of our Key Lime Pie desserts. The dessert included key lime pie with a whipped cream topping,b simply delicious! All in all a very good experience we will definitely mark it down as a spot to visit again.

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.

I absolutely love this restaurant. They are always so welcoming and the atmosphere is really nice…read more It's great for business meetings or a romantic dinner. 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!

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.

Everything I've tried on the menu has been delicious. My only complaint is that I wish the restaurant was a little bigger because it can feel a bit cramped inside. Other than that, the service and food are consistently excellent. This visit, I ordered the seafood dip, and it was absolutely amazing. For my entrée, I had the steak with fries and a Caesar salad. The steak was perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and full of flavor. My sister ordered the croffle flight along with the mac and cheese and grits, and she thoroughly enjoyed both. This was my second visit, and I'll definitely be back for a third. It's hard to find a restaurant that's this consistent, but Crescent City Kitchen delivers every time!

I visited on a Sunday, and while I completely understand that the kitchen was overwhelmed with orders, I noticed several plates sitting under the food warmer for quite some time. Since I was seated at the bar, I also had a clear view of the kitchen staff and waiters arguing and yelling at each other about the overflow of orders. It was honestly pretty unprofessional to witness as a customer. I definitely think this restaurant could benefit from better teamwork, communication, and a more organized system for handling busy periods. It would help everything run more smoothly and hopefully cut down on wait times. The restaurant itself is also pretty small, so don't come expecting a spacious or fancy dining experience. But honestly, I don't come here for the aesthetic. I come here to EAT GOOD, and the food never disappoints! Overall, the food keeps me coming back, but there's definitely room for improvement when it comes to service and organization.

It was soft and fluffy, not overly sweet, and the cream cheese frosting also wasn't extra sweet. I don't think I could finish a whole roll by myself, but if dessert is your thing - go for it! I had the short rib and eggs. That short rib was very tender and the bbq sauce wasn't overpowering on top. The eggs were cooked perfectly to my liking, but somehow the biggest star on that plate were the potatoes. The breakfast potatoes were CRISP on the outside and deliciously soft inside. Salted perfectly. I took some of them as leftovers and somehow they were still crisp with a reheat. Highly recommend sitting at the bar, the full service there is great too. Because we were there for weekend brunch, there was a bit of live music. The decor and ambience were very well done.
