I love seafood, and considering the amount of high profile seafood destinations that opened in the last year, chances are you do as well. Yes, I know there really isn't an Atlanta Ocean, but we're close aren't we? I've chosen a few picks for your pleasure
The farm to table concept is so passé at this point that Ecco kicks it up a notch with their own rooftop garden for fresh apps & cocktails.
Leave the forks & knives of fine dining behind & dig into your food w/ fresh injera bread at Desta. The fish tibs alone are worth the trek.
Get the burger & one of mixologist David Durnell's excellent cocktails
The freshest and most sustainable seafood around with frequent lobster & oyster specials that are kind to your wallet.
James Beard winner Hugh Acheson's Atlanta outpost is a Midtown favorite & its menu changes daily. I'm a fan of the superfood plate at lunch and you never know what will be on the dinner menu. The wine & cocktail program are killer & don't forget to leave room for dessert
Inspired by Buford Highway & Vietnam, you must try the octopus and pork lettuce wraps
Few Buford Highway restaurants attract the attention of the New York Times, but the Crawfish Shack isn't your average place. An Asian Cajun mash up with po-boys to die for on Amoroso bread. Accept no substitutions
There's a new chef in town! Check out Chef Todd Richard's housemade lamb sausage & hot smoked salmon & grits
I have a lot of favorites here and they all involve deep fried fish. In contrast to other fish houses, especially in the burbs, they have a great craft beer list.
Try the local beers from Hampton, GA brewery - Jailhouse
