Pleasant seafood restaurant food and vibe in downtown Dunwoody! If you want a taste of the coast without the drive, this is the spot.

I really liked the low key vibe of the place. Felt like I wandered in off the beach to grab some fresh seafood for dinner. Crab cakes were the hit of our table. Wait staff was super. Only suggestion would be to add some fresh (not fried )fish platters to the menu. Definitely will be coming back.

Very noisy!! Crab cake too spicy - I want to taste the crab, not the seasoning!! Drinks were awesome and the arctic char special was unique and very good.

Our experience as always, was extraordinary! Catherine was a delight. She explained the faves on the menu, and introduced the new items. She even brought my husband the creamed spinach to taste, as he is pretty particular about his creamed spinach. He did give it a thumbs up. The bisque was out of this world, my husband has it EVERY time, and the mussels best in the city, by far. We stopped in late, so didn’t have much more to eat, but, everything has always been excellent. It comes out promptly and always hot. We love this place.
