About the restaurant

Kyma is a contemporary Greek seafood tavern like no other. The cuisine is inventive yet approachable that is true to its Mediterranean origin. Kyma is dramatic, with a dazzling display of constellations on the deep blue ceiling, white marble columns and a bold fresh fish display. The welcoming patio, with its plush furniture and white linen curtains, offers the ideal setting to savor a glass of Greek wine and Kyma’s array of appetizers. Fresh, healthful food, attentive Greek hospitality and festive atmosphere await at Kyma. Proper dress is required. “A true labor of love. Bravo.” -The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

They went above and beyond for our anniversary dinner. We were so impressed with everything and probably some of the BEST service I have ever gotten. This was perfect.

We had a really great experience here. The food was delicious. I recommend the Mediterranean Branzino. The Redfish on the half shell was also a hit according to our niece. Our server was especially helpful with recommending our oyster selections and the holiday cocktail. Truly a great evening!

About the restaurant

Featuring raw oysters and fresh seafood with international influences from executive chef Eddie Barrett, BeetleCat is a trendy restaurant and bar in Atlanta’s Inman Park neighborhood. The menu transports you to the New England coast at the upstairs dining room and oyster bar, while the downstairs Den lends itself to a 70s surf shack. Enjoy fresh air on one of the two patios, both upstairs and downstairs. BeetleCat is open nightly for dinner and offers brunch in the Den on Saturdays and Sundays.

The food was awesome but the servers were a bit over zealous on removing plates and drinks without asking if we were done.

I don’t recall the last time I had such great service at a restaurant. Food was excellent. We were there celebrating a birthday, and the staff helped make the occasion that much more special. The patio was warm even during cold weather. And there’s a super cute little bar outside on the patio. We’ll be back to check that out!
