    It's been a few years since I've been to the Atlanta Fish Market, but when I had clients in town for a conference, the Atlanta Fish Market was the first restaurant that came to mind as past experiences assured me we would receive quality food and quality service. But what really surprised me was that significant price increases every where you turn these days, the prices were extremely reasonable for what I view as a high-end restaurant. Great entrees are available in the low to mid $30's and this is for fresh fish flown in that day...salmon, halibut, chilean sea bass, etc. So, this was a very pleasant surprise to see that Atlanta Fish Market has managed to control prices to a reasonable level, and of course, the service and quality of food were exceptional...but then again, I knew that going in. This is also a great restaurant to carry on conversations at normal levels. Despite it being very open, the noise level was pretty moderate. I would recommend the Atlanta Fish Market for a special occasion, a client dinner and as just a great restaurant to take a significant other or a group of friends. You won't be disappointed and your client, spouse, friend, etc., will be very impressed with your choice of restaurants.

    Checked this place out on a friends recommendation and I was pleasantly surprised. Very nice hostess let me change tables because I was under an AC vent and was very chilly. Enjoyed some extremely fatty tuna and yellowtail belly from my server’s choices and the fresh yellowtail appetizer blew my mind! Will be back.
