We were having a great time until the bartender from last night Friday October 3rd hurled racist language at us. Unnecessary and disgusting treatment over race. Just awful and shameful. You cant exist as a business with employees being closed minded and biased. Please patronize other businesses over this one because there's no room for hate speech in my world.

Amazing food and service. Visited with a party of 8 and everyone loved their food and drinks.
The menu rotates, so expect to be pleasantly surprised when you go!
Atmosphere inside the restaurant and surrounding area is electric.

I had the worse oysters I've ever tasted in my life here. We had very good oysters here a few months ago, which is why we came back. We found out that the chef has a revolving menu, so what was available last week may not be available this week. We sent the oysters back because they tasted so nasty. They do not provide, horseradish, cocktail sauce, or Tabasco. Then I ordered a 36$ Lobster roll that was not worth the money. The atmosphere was cool tho and there is outside seating. We decided that we will not be returning ever.

Walked in to an empty restaurant and greeted three people at the bar with a very friendly “hi how are yall?” Zero acknowledgement or response and they continued chatting with each other about personal matters. They definitely heard our greeting and kept glancing at us while we stood there awkwardly. eventually we just took some seats at the bar near them. they finally speak to us to tell us that they don’t open for five more minutes and ask us to go wait outside. Could they not have told us that when we walked in and said hello? Why did they wait until we sat down to say something? It was such a bizarre encounter and came off extremely rude. Trust me, they heard our greeting. We spoke directly to them while standing a few feet away. They glanced at us and chose to ignore us while drinking beer and swapping stories. Can’t comment on the food bc we didn’t stick around after such an awful first impression. Friendliness matters, I don’t understand this interaction at all.

I'm came to ATL to visit family, and all the locals recommended this bar. As soon as we walked in, Billy (bartender), gave us the warmest welcome. He was super nice and friendly. I couldn't ask for a better experience.
Btw, ask him for an off menu drink/shot, he will oblige you with a drink beyond your expectation. 👌🏾

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.
