Chilled laid back spot. Tatiana the bartender was really cool and made strong drinks. It’s a plus you get free hookah at the bar with drinks or food.

Ace was great. Everything came very fast and she was courteous!!!
came to this establishment on a Saturday night with my best friend. We ordered an old fashioned and a rum and coke. We proceeded to order the salt and pepper shrimp and the bulgogi. They don't clean the shrimp and when it was sent back the response was "that's how we do it, we fry the shrimp whole"
We weren't the only seating to send this back, another did as well but this one didn't reach back to the kitchen, it was eaten by, I'm not even sure what his title was because he was making drinks, taking shots and going outside to be a bodyguard.
Nonetheless, very interesting experience.

I went out with some friends after attending the opening night of The Atlanta Black Theatre Festival. We had loads of laughs, and our waiter joined in and added to the laughter. The menu is very limited and geared towards patrons with a slightly more sophisticated pallet than the average person. I believe I had The Bronzino, which was trout on a bed of veggies with a special red sauce.
The fish was cooked to perfection with a nice crunch on the outside and juicy and flavorful on the inside. The veggies were the perfect size and had a nice soft crunch to them as well. The sauce was bursting with flavor!
I should've taken a Pic of my plate afterwards, cuz it was clean! Lol
We sat on the patio. It was nice, but they never turned the patio lights on, so the lighting was very dim. But it was a cool atmosphere.

Netsie provided excellent service! The calamari was super crisp and melted like butter in my mouth.
The bartender with glasses and a blonde man bun was so incredibly rude for no reason.
Came with a few friends after a game to hang out. Got seated immediately. Vibe was chill and music list was a vibe too. From Afro beats to r&b it set the vibe for real. Service was great from Asmaa and she was so attentive and made sure we were good at all times. I'll definitely be back. They have valet parking at entrance.

Stopped in for a bite and a couple drinks for a friends bday. The atmosphere is casual and dark and the service was fantastic. We ordered a few different dishes and some drinks including the oysters and steak tartar. While the steak tartar was delicious, the yucca chips were undercooked and scarce. Regarding the oysters, I would suggest you do not order them here. The oysters were tiny and they were served with one slice of lemon. Unfortunately, the kitchen was unable to provide any other toppings for the oysters, including horseradish, despite it being used in the steak tartar. These were some of the saddest oysters I've ever seen. The other food I tasted was pretty good, including the sorbet dessert we ordered. All of the staff I met were friendly and helpful. All in all, a bit pricey for the reality, especially considering the sad oysters.

My favorite late night spot. This place is a true hidden gem. If you have not had the pleasure of dining here you’re truly missing out. From the well thought out and crafted menu to the great drinks and dim lit ambiance it’s amazing. You can literally get off work and still have some place to go to get a great meal and not feel like you’ve totally been left out lol. Check these guys out. Anthony is the best bartender! Go check him out too :)

Me and my bestie went there after a concert at the Eastern and the waitress that night definitely answered all my questions sweetly and she even made some great suggestions. I chose the Salt and Pepper shrimp. It was Amazing. I have NEVER eaten sautéed onions but theirs were soooo flavorful I actually for the first time ate some and it was cooked perfectly. the ambiance was super chill, like a place to hang with friends and catch up,The dining room area was dimly light and not too bright while the music was a good jam of songs on the speaker, not too loud which allowed us to really enjoy the food. For a pop up, it wasnt bad. But some additional sides options would be good. So i'll try again.

We would not go back to Octopus for several reasons. We had lunch: mussels were not great, lamb was way overcooked and linguini seafood was ok, but they forgot the shrimp until we were about finished eating. The waitress was very pleasant, however the service was miserably slow. We did not get drinks until the end of our meal and our food came out at separate times. My largest complaint is the PRICE...the lunch noted above and 2 just ok cocktails totaled a lunch tab of $169.87, plus $20.00 to park.in their parking lot. ABSOLUTELY INSANE!!!
