I have not been to Atlanta Fish Market in probably a decade and the quality has not declined at all. I got the Apple Kale Salad and Jumbo Fried Shrimp. My friend got the lobster scampi and shrimp cocktail. Both delicious. He did not enjoy the mocktail

I had such a great experience at Shilom Thai and Sushi Bar in Buckhead! The food was absolutely amazing—everything was so fresh and full of flavor. The sushi was perfect, and the Thai dishes were just as incredible. On top of that, the service was wonderful. The staff was super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. It’s definitely a place I’ll be coming back to, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for great food and a great vibe!

Caleb was phenomenal. Unobtrusive, but still very present. If you want to enjoy your meal without feeling rushed, come early. Coursing was perfect after we asked to slow it down. Value has slightly declined, but Umi will always be a favorite in Atlanta. A5 Wagyu Roll was a complete miss this time, but everything else was phenomenal. The Otoro Caviar is a must try!
