Best Seafood Restaurants in Lawrenceville

Excellent as it has been for many years! It’s my family tradition to have Christmas at Chops or one of the Buckhead Life restaurants

We learned of this restaurant from Eater as we were searching for a place to go for our anniversary that was not in downtown Atlanta and that we hadn’t been to before. We were pleasantly surprised! The exterior is unassuming but once inside, there was a warm and lively ambiance with lots of laughter, chatter and warm lighting. Our server, Errol, was superb! He was friendly, welcoming, personable and engaging. He made suggestions and gave advice. He exemplified ALL of the qualities one would want in someone who is in the service industry. The food selections were delectable …beginning with the warm sesame rolls, fresh raw oysters, calamari like none I’ve had before with togarashi spice, crispy whole Bronzino with fingerlings that melts in your mouth’ Delmonico ribeye cooked to perfection, frites royale, roasted mushrooms and a currant cake for dessert courtesy of Errol. The cocktails we chose were flavorful and prepared by a talented mixologist…peychauds plane, sidecar, the lady in orange, passenger princess. I highly recommend Lapeer and will definitely return. My only complaint is that it was chilly in the extended portion of the restaurant where we were seated. We requested alternative seating but the hostess had difficulty arranging this request for some reason. I’m glad she did because we would not have met Errol.

Overall a great experience. The server was amazing. The bread is to die for. The oysters were delicious. The peel /eat shrimp appetizer was great. The octopus appetizer was great. We also had the she crab soup, the mushroom side, the hushpuppy side. The entrees were the scallops dish and the flounder dish. Overall great. The wait time between dishes seemed very long. Not a place to go if you are on a tight schedule for event after dinner. Suggestion may be to order everything early on and let them glow it. Definitely will be back for oysters and appetizers.

Chophouse did not disappoint! We chose this restaurant to celebrate a birthday. The food was delicious, the ambience warm and inviting, the service beyond excellent. Seasonal music played by an outstandingly talented pianist was a wonderful enhancement to our fine dining experience. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Wonderful atmosphere, great service! Wonderful food, too. 10/10 would return.
