Seafood Restaurants near Hapeville

“Fish, hush puppies and fries were great. Be aware they add a good bit of salt and seasoning so if you don't want as much request less in advance. The banana pudding I got to wash it all down had no bananas. Not sure where that comes from but it was only vanilla pudding w a few wafer on top. Waste of extra $5.“

“(Translated by Google) I recommend them very good, they are delicious shrimp ? ???? we will return to bring more delicious ????(Original)Se los recomiendo muy buenos están deliciosos camarones ? ???? regresaremos a traer más buenísimos ????“

“First timer here. Stopped by for some good breakfast. I ordered the jerk chicken and sweet potato waffles. It was deilicious! The service and timeliness were both on point as well. Overall, 5/5 rating. I will be back if i'm ever in the area.“

“From the moment I made my reservation, The Optimist in Atlanta promised a distinctive dining adventure, and oh boy, did they deliver! Steering clear of the usual praise for décor, this review highlights the exceptional aspects that truly make The Optimist a must-visit destination.First off, the service here isn't just good; it's clairvoyant. The staff anticipated needs I didn't know I had, from detailed explanations of dish ingredients to personalized recommendations tailored to my taste preferences. Their timing was impeccable, ensuring a seamless flow from course to course without ever feeling rushed.Now, let’s talk about the culinary journey. The menu, inspired by sea fare, offers a refreshing twist on classic seafood dishes. The smoked oysters are a revelation—served with a mignonette that features a hint of apple, which beautifully complements the smokiness. And the main event, the whole roasted fish, is a masterpiece of simplicity and flavor, showcasing the chef’s deft touch and respect for high-quality ingredients.Not to be outdone, the beverage selection at The Optimist is a treasure chest of delights. The cocktail list is inventive, featuring sea-inspired twists on classic drinks, like the "Saltwater Taffy Old Fashioned," which is as whimsical as it is delicious. The wine list is equally impressive, with thoughtful pairings that elevate the fish dishes to new heights.In summary, The Optimist isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a voyage that delights and surprises with its service, menu creativity, and attention to detail. It’s a place where every visit promises new discoveries, making it clear why this gem is often touted as one of the best seafood experiences in Atlanta.“

“I went in with high expectations and O-Ku exceeded every single one. We had edamame and the variety of sautéed mushrooms, which were so delicious to start. We ordered the black magic (HIGHLY RECOMMEND), spicy tuna roll, A salmon roll, yellowtail sashimi, uni, and tuna sashimi. Everything was so good and the service made our dinner experience even better! The photos were taken after we started eating so everything is not pictured“

“We really enjoyed the atmosphere, service, and food.The “Hot & Easy Sticky Chicken” was a great, and the spiced fish sauce made the appetizer even better.The another highlight of this meal was the Bon Ton Rice Bowl. I initially ordered the chicken Adobo but after my seeing/tasting the Viet Meatball bowl brought to our table, I asked our server if I could swap to this choice. He quickly updated the kitchen of my decision change.Will definitely be dining at this establishment again, and again‼️???“

“Enjoyed my experience. Andrea and her trainer Dexter I believe his name was, wete very attentive. My food was delicious albeit the salmon with capers was a bit salty but overall I enjoyed. The only thing I would say is there were two young employees at the host booth in which the young lady was playing in another employee’s hair to pass the time.“

“Amazing fish spot. My wife and I had Blackened grouper, ceviche, and tuna tartare, and every dish was one of the best we had ever had. Tight, intimate setting. Excellent for a relaxed but high quality date night.I've also picked up fish from there to cook for dinner at home and it was incredible. Very high quality.“

“I wanted to try a Michelin star restaurant. This place did not disappoint! The parking was free! The staff was so kind. It was not hoity toity either. I didn't need to know the cutlery as they brought out new pieces for each course. It was the most expensive meal I've ever had ($200+/plate) so I don't recommend bringing kids! The attire was more laid back than we expected, which was also nice. S/O took off his tie. ?It was a great experience.“

“We arrived on a busy Saturday evening and our table was ready. The staff was attentive.The smoked trout dip and crackers, fry bread, and moqueca stew were great. The trout was a bit simpler and didn’t have the same flair as the other dishes.I would go back and try other dishes and appetizers any day of the week.“

“lots of options for seafood boiled seafood, something I'm admittedly not very familiar with. i opted for fried calamari, which was decent. prices are in line with other places in Decatur, which is to say a little pricey. service and atmosphere were good, went during lunchtime and there were several other tables enjoying interesting looking meals. i do think their "adult capri suns" and mocktails are smart moves to have on their drinks menu, too.“

“Amazing service! Shae and Mikalea are so good at their jobs. They make everyone feel welcome and are great at recommending drinks and food. You can tell they love their work and the clients they help. The whole bar had a great time because of their service. I hope someone in corporate recognizes them for being so amazing.“

“Amazing food from appetizers to the bennetts! I know I'm spelling it wrong but they were great! Worth the price!Vegetarian options: If you want no meat there are plenty of choicesKid-friendliness: No seafood places really have kid menu they do!Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp right where you park“

“Food and service was amazing but we came with a large group and were seated in the back where it was warmer. I got the catfish and loved the potatoes and coleslaw. The coleslaw was spicy which which was perfect with the meal. Was so good we went back 2 other times in a week stay.“

“I took myself on a solo date, the first one since my partner went on deployment 2 months ago. I felt awkward and was watching YouTube videos my whole dining experience but Rhett(I hope that’s the servers name) was patient and kind! I enjoyed all the food and the wine. I didn’t feel pressured to leave since I was alone taking up a table. He even went over the deserts for me and help me come to a decision on the best one and I really enjoyed it!The oysters were fresh, the salmon tartar was delicious, and the almond torte was to die for!Will definitely return!“

“Me and my mom came here today and the whole experience was amazing. The food was amazing and our waitress Jalissa was perfect. The ambiance and atmosphere was very welcoming and calm. Lobster bites 5/5 Salmon bites 5/5 Cornbread 5/5 Grilled Lamb Chops, mashed potatoes and broccolini 5/5 Stuffed Chicken Breast 5/5 (The mushroom sauce on the chicken was amazing) Girl Gurls World (cocktail) 5/5 We will definitely be returning very soon So I doubled back tonight for another round of stuffed chicken breast and cornbread“

“Have been getting COVID-19 omakase with Yasu! And I cannot recommended it enough! Every single little detail is not missed even though it is take out. By far one of the best Omakase take in Atlanta currently for it’s price. The amount of food is easily 2-3 times the other omakase and yet the same quality. ❤️“

“I usually order fish and fried rice which are really good. On Saturday, I ordered whole wings and rice and those wings were so delicious! While waiting for my food, I always enjoy meeting some of the friendly customers, and Steve really makes you feel welcome. So don't just take my word, stop by and try it for yourself!“

“Hello fellow #foodiesofatl we want to share our Foodie Friday visit at @fontainesatl in the N. Highlands Area of Atlanta.Let's start off with the vibes. It was low key, the staff was friendly, and the food service was very quick. Speaking of the food we had some positives and some neutrals. Here is what we had:Cajun Rice Balls ❤️❤️❤️These were simply "okay". We wouldn't order them again because there was nothing special about them. We have had tons of great rice balls in Atlanta and this is at the bottom of the list. They were just dull.John's Famous Cold Crab dip with pita points❤️❤️❤️Same as the rice balls, not bad just dull. Would not order again. The pita points were a nice touch though and were warm and soft.NOLA oysters ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Okay, finally something we loved. These were amazing. We will be back for these again and will order no appetizers. We should have ordered this twice lolCatfish Seafood Basket ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Cooked perfectly, not too much breading, hot and crunchy on the outside and soft and yummy on the inside. Came with really good fries with cajun seasoning.Crawfish Tails Basket ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Cooked perfectly, not too much breading, hot and Crispy. This was really awesome!!The oysters and fried seafood were great. The appetizers left much too be desired. We decided if we back we will go straight in for oysters and fried seafood. We will be back for sure for the seafood!!#fontainesoysterhouse#virginiahighlands #t_vfooduniverse2024 #T_vfooduniverse #foodielover #foodbloggersofatlanta #seafoodlovers #seafoodatl #atlbites #atlantaeats #oysters #goodeats404 #atlantablogger #foodiesforlife #atlantarestaurantscene #bestofatlantaeats #foodietakeover #friedseafood #yummyeats #atlantanights #foodscene #bestfriends #atlantaga #atlantalife #atlantablogger #foodhype #foodfinders #foodreels #foodcoma #atlantafridays“

“I thought Ibwas having an allergic reaction in my eyes, but whole time it was because the food taste SSSSSOOOOO GOOD. I dont know where mom learned to cook, but she needs to teach a class. The food here is SO DAMN GOOD, its almost annoying. I usually don't try different meals at places, out of fear my money would be wasted cause it won't be good, but at D'essence EVERYTHING SO GOOD. I get chills every time I order and get my bag. I cant even help the praise footwork that happens when the food comes out. Their food looks like the photos. Usually restaurants get professional photos and the food never looks the same ??, but D'essence looks like the photos and taste that good. Dont est with someone that like to reach into others people plate, because YOU WILL slap them, out of reflex ?.“

“This restaurant and the people that work here are so very special. The food is spectacular…thats a given. The atmosphere and the staff are what make it feel like you are with friends and family and you are home. It truly is my happy place. ❤️“

“Initially we were disappointed at the reduced menu options compared to our last visit and there may be people who wouldn't find choices that they liked. I had two small plates rather than a larger dish. My mussels were really very good and the scallops were even better. The service was excellent. Prices are a bit steep, but I was very happy with my food and with the service.“

“I stopped by for dinner here about a month ago while on a business trip. I was there during their golden hour, 4-6PM. The restaurant is clean and decorated with bright nautical decor. It wasn't very busy at all since I was there between the more traditional lunch and dinner hours and on a Tuesday. I was the only one dining in at the time . Ordering is super easy, you mark off everything you want on a laminated ordering card and hand it to the cashier. The service was wonderful. The staff were very friendly but also gave me my space to dine comfortably as a solo diner. Food was so good, fresh, filling but healthy. They also have all kinds of sauces other than your traditional tartar and cocktail sauces that were all a match for any taste preference and paired perfectly with the fish. Not that the fish or any of the food needed anything to make it better. It was already very good on its own. The golden hour specials were a welcomed surprise given how expensive everything is everywhere these days, especially seafood. My food was like $7 off, I had a dinner plate that's regularly $22 that is only $15 during golden hour and I had a glass of wine for only $5. As I ate I noticed many people dropped in to pick up their preorders. They seem to have a very efficient "order ahead" system. I would love to eat here again and wish there was one where I live. Sadly I will have to wait until I find myself back in Atlanta.“

“My dinner at Ray's was a simply magical! Tee was our waitress and she was superb! Tee communicated clearly, got all of the meals delivered at almost the same time for our party of 15. All drink orders were correct and she even delivered hot towels after dinner.“

“Great for a first time experience! I went with my girlfriend tonight. Jay had phenomenal customer service. He made sure our needs were met & still made room to joke around to ensure we were smiling. AB was very kind & shared similar traits, as well. Great personalities.Great atmosphere.“

“Service was top notch!Food was quite good….only complaint was the fish in the fish and chips. It was very small potions…reminded me of the frozen battered fish I buy from time to time…see photo. I would not order it again.The tacos were good as was the chicken sandwich.They were out of the crab cakes unfortunately.Other than that it was a good spot while awaiting our connecting flight. ✈️“

“Came to eat here tonight with my parents, they celebrated their birthdays earlier this month and we decided to step it up a notch and go downtown for a combined meal this year.Valet parking only here, they work off gratuities so remember that as they run to get your car as it was pouring outside tonight!We were immediately seated at our scheduled time, in a table I had sat in before with coworkers in the corner. The manager heard me speaking about it and how I enjoyed that with my colleagues he offered to put me there once again. Super cool, great view of the dining area and very quiet in the corner. I think my parents really enjoyed that. Antrane was our server and she crushed it tonight. Came over and took our drink order then proceeded to absolutely kill it for me tonight; made me look like a good son!For apps- we went with the Wagyu bbq short ribs, and the Lobster fritters and split a wedge salad between the three of us, they also chopped and split the portions for us. I'm going to tell you that the short ribs were crazy good, melt in your mouth barely a need to chew. The lobster fritters were perfectly cooked, beautiful texture and flavor. Wedge salad was so flavorful with the homemade dressing and pappadew peppers- what a new flavor on a traditional salad.My dad and I split the steak for two (porterhouse), cooked to perfection. My mother got an 8 oz strip and she normally gets it cooked well done. She was mowing the steak down and we had two sides of sauce to try- Bernaise and peppercorn. Both were super flavorful and enhanced the steak (truth be told the steak is the star and didn't need sauce)As for sides: creamed spinach and scalloped sweet potatoes (full portions) charred jalapeños creamed corn and roasted mushrooms (half portions). We ate more than we normally would've, but it seemed too good to stop.They were super generous to give both my parents a complimentary dessert since they have back to back bdays in March. My dad took one of each sorbet flavors (mango, pear, strawberry) and my mother did the vanilla bread pudding with cheesecake ice cream. My goodness! After all that food and a bottle of wine, still cleaned the plates! It's unheard of in our family.On the walk out, I noticed Chef Rathbun and he spoke with us for a few minutes. Told him I'd been familiar with his work and watched him and his brother battle on Iron Chef. We have been to many steakhouses in Chicago but this one really is next level.My thanks to the kitchen and Antrane, and especially Chef Rathbun for a memorable evening. It's super cool to get to meet chefs who are so talented and the staff that make them look bigger than rock stars for special moments like this.“

“Great food and people! The pasta trio was on point and the crab cake was better than expected. The drinks were hitting too. Get there early to beat the crowd or come late if you want a more night life vibe. Kitchen closes @ 1am FYI. Will definitely be back again“

“Stopped in at this place to catch an English “soccer” game (EPL). It’s close to the Atl Zoo and across street from the Oakland cemetery. A shortish walk away from the Atl Beltline.They had two screens dedicated to EPL around the bar. The others showed NBA that day. So it’s a mix of sports on offer.The food was good… nothing was over salty or over spiced. So the taste of seafood comes through. The blackened catfish was good and the side of zucchini fries was excellent (especially the dip it came with).They also have a big selection of beer on tap. The Terrapin - Los Bravos (Athens, GA) was excellent if U like a light, citrusy lager.Service was good.“

“My experience at Le Petit Marche was so exquisite and beyond exceeded my expectations so much to where I had to take the time to write a review about it. Staff/Service: From the time you walk in you feel like you’ve walked into the home of someone you know who was excitedly anticipating your arrival. The smiles from the host staff, the greetings from every staff member on the way to your table, with the added bonus of receiving a hug from our waiter was like nothing I’ve experienced anywhere else in Atlanta. Our waiter made us feel like we were truly special and created a pocket of bliss and space of happiness in the day of everyone at the table. Food: The unique culinary creations and flavor blends of the dishes was impeccable. From the most cutest brunch tacos I’ve ever seen made with french toast tortillas and bacon, to the best tasting beignets, herb parmesean fries, and salad topped with house-made spiced crotons and perfectly grilled shrimp, my tongue was in heaven. Every bite amazingly delcious!!! Five Stars is literally not enough. Thank you to everyone at Le Petit Marche. You are unforgettable and I can not wait to dine with you again!“

“My cousins invited me here for brunch while I was in town and it was spot on. The food was savory. The atmosphere was cozy and the staff was friendly and helpful. Our waitress was very attentive to our needs. She was detail-oriented and recommended some great items for us to try. I frequent the area a lot so we will definitely be back.“

“One of the coolest places to dine out on the beltline. The architecture and interiors of the place are just amazing. You instantly feel like being transported to a high end garden with beautiful tree plants every where.The servers were probably the highlight. Very attentive and friendly, made our experience even better.The second highlight is their crispy brussel sprouts. I can still taste the scrumptious blend of flavors. It’s perfectly sweet and crunchy along with a hint of spice.The cod was our second favorite. Cooked to perfection with a flavorful sauce accompanied on a bed of vegetables.The pork belly was a good attempt but definitely my least favorite.But overall a great place to eat and can’t wait for second round.“

“Every time I come here everything is perfect. I sat at the inside bar, my drinks and food were great.i can’t remember my lovely bartenders name, she was working the day bar inside last Saturday, but she was amazing.I’ve always had a good experience here.“

“Food was absolutely amazing! The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was divine. We had squid, octopus, fried green tomatoes, swordfish, trout, tuna, steak, and a burger. The drinks were delicious! The dessert is definitely worth the try! Butterscotch was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was so laid back but the food was gourmet. It's woman owned and the food is locally sourced.Parking: $4 Valet. Our driver was super nice!Kid-friendliness: They have outdoor seating and lots to look out. The kids enjoyed the nature elements.“

“I had been watching stories on IG about this place and we love crawfish so on Friday April 5th, my husband and I traveled almost 2 hrs to get a pickup order. We had got them for a gathering we were having the next day. We managed to eat a few in the car on our way back home so we could try them fresh. Man were they good!! And heating them up the next day did not disappoint. They had to have been the best we have ever had.Very friendly service. I’m planning on returning this Friday.“

“WOW WOW WOW. What a delicious dinner. The bison was out of this world!!! Fantastic waitstaff atmosphere was dim and beautiful. It’s my kiddos birthday and they even put a candle on his ice cream- it’s the little touches that mean the most.Highly recommend, I would make a reservation… otherwise you could be waiting awaile.Kid-friendliness: Kid cheese burger with fries.“

“Parkers on Ponce is a top notch steakhouse. They always cook my steak to the requested temperature, and the service is excellent. Fresh roses on each table. Thursday they have buy one get one free drinks! As of April 2024 they are still doing this. If you get a chance to add truffle butter to your steak, it's totally worth it! Both hubby and I love this place. A note for families, never seen a kid in here, this place caters more to adults. But a wonderful find, you can't go wrong with Parkers on Ponce. Expect to pay 40-50$ per person.Parking: Paid parking garage very close to the restaurant, about $6 per hour“

“Staff was nice the atmosphere was the bomb the ambiance made you want to stay all night and the food was good i just wish my lamb chops came with some veggies or a side of rice for the price???. Overall nice time and I will definitely come back again????????“

“Food is ALWAYS delicious! Great portions. Always fresh and never taste old or refrigerated, no matter if it's day or night. I don't go here for the experience. I literally order online and go in to pick it up then leave. Sometimes the parking attendant is rude when I say I just want to pick up food but I guess he just be busy with his flow and high I understand. I don't like their new online system. It charges me for extra stuff that I don't need and there's no way to not get it. But over all, top 5 favorite food kitchen in Atlanta, downtown area.“

“Kema was our waitress and she was absolutely amazing and so polite ! The food was so delicious and hot! The wings where so huge and delicious! I also had the carrot cake it was good and the Purple Haze was strong but it wasnt purple which was disappointing it was good thou! I really wished the music would stay on thou it was a good vibe until the music cut off!“

“This is our local Tex Mex restaurant so I’ve been here a few times. The first few I struggled to find something I really liked on the menu but this time I tried the shrimp quesadilla and it was surprisingly great! The tortilla was stuffed with big, juicy shrimp. I also had the cantina margarita which wasn’t my favorite (tasted too much like sour mix). The service was fantastic though so I’d still recommend it for those in the area.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian combo section“

“Amazing spot with unbeatable vibes, music and food! The oysters are superb with much of the other menu items to match. Madison is lovely and I am so happy to have discovered this place! Also A++++ to the fact that I don't even like beer and discovered a few that I enjoyed.“

“10/10 I recommend. I went here with family to celebrate my birthday and we enjoyed everything. The food, atmosphere and great customer service. The waitresses were amazing. It is not easy to handle a big party but they were amazing. Also, the food was fresh taste so good. Also their drinks are good I had the BBL ? I will definitely be back“

“I've been in here a few times for late night cocktails and small bites. I haven't had a bad thing yet. The cocktail menu is lovingly crafted by the in-house bartenders. They're more than happy to explain their methodology and engage you in conversation. It's a fairly small location and the skewers are grilled right in front of you. A very neat spot in the Virginia Highlands were stopping in“

“TLDR: Tasty flavors, fresh crab and shrimp, sweet corn, and rustic interior. The service was super slow on a Sunday afternoon. Great food pricing! Tip: No need to valet for $10... just park in front of the Publix :) My favorite part of seafood boils is the shrimp and the corn and both were perfect! I got the juicy crab combination flavor and it was amazing (just bit too salty). We waited over 20 minutes to be seated but once we ordered, the food came out in less than 10. Great portion for the price!“

“So I have passed this location so many times while living in S Fulton but I never stopped. MY FAULT!!We were having a fish fry and me not being from the South, I really don't care for whiting with the skin-on. I wanted skinless. I called and they have an automated system that tells you what they have fresh for the day as well as the previously frozen.I bought all the skinless whiting they had. The service was fast. The staff was friendly. They even told me if I waited maybe 20 mins there would be more skinless whiting available and to me, that's awesome service! The fish us packed with ice so it stays cold on your way home.Its definitely worth the drive, if they have what you want.“

“I enjoy the traditional bento lunch here. It is exactly what you expect. I will add a Maki roll, soup or agadeshi tofu to mix it up a bit. Service is cool. Izakaya vibes. Great lunch meeting spot.Parking: Small parking lot behind the restaurant. Other than that, good luck!“

“Nice casual restaurant with indoor/outdoor seating right on the beltline. Their menu is seafood forward. Great place to stop for a quick bite while walking on the beltline or surrounding area.You will need to find parking on the street as there is no on-site parking.Not far from Krog St and along the ATL Beltline so it super easy to get to.Updating my review and bumping to 5-stars due to being as good or better than the first time. 3/17Parking: All street parking so spaces are first find. This is located within the Reynoldstown neighborhood where parking is very limited. I would park at Krog St then walk to the restaurant. Gives you a great opportunity to explore and walk off what you ate!Wheelchair accessibility: The patio is open and has ample room for wheelchair access. The interior is small so space will be tight. The outdoor area has the best views and ambiance.“

“There wasn't a bad thing about this place. Had the stuffed shrimp for an appetizer, I had twin filet, wife had the bourbon salmon, kids had chicken strips and cheese burger. For desert we went with our servers recommended oreo cheesecake and it was all perfect. If I had to pick one thing I didn't like it would be that it's two hours from home. Our server Xavier was top notch and absolutely found his calling. He is what customer service is all about. You will not be disappointed.“

“Those is a great place to eat. It has a wine bar set up, slightly dem lighting, and the service was excellent. I asked the bartender is they had lemonade and she stated they could make. And I'll be...she made me lemonade from freshly squeezed lemons. It was lovely. I had the cheese burger and added bacon, lettuce and tomatoes to it. It was delicious. You could taste the quality of the meat. That with their signature ketchup on the burger made me a fan for life.“
