Carly Orbon: Must try the buttered Maine Lobster roll!
Madison Levy: Great food and scenery! Friendly staff. Had the smoked fish dip, bisque, and shrimp and crab burger. Freakin delicious! Definitely going back. Probably best seafood in Atlanta!

Melissa Corley: Try the Steamed Maine Lobster - I ate the whole thing! They will shell it for you, but I'm a purist and insist on doing it myself. So yummy!
Billy Austin: Great place to grab a cocktail. Make sure and don't forget your wallet. A bit expensive but good place.

Shauna Martin Jensen: The Maine lobster roll is to die for! So delicious!
Samir Gillani: Hands down the best restaurant in Atlanta! Get the She Crab Soup, Peel and Eat GA Shrimp (messy but worth it!), the duck fat swordfish (holy it's good!), and fish & chips (huge!). Valet is only $3.
Creative Loafing Atlanta: Gently poached in glorious duck fat, this swordfish steak is all meaty and supple. It's surf and turf 2.0, and one of CL's 100 Dishes to eat in Atlanta before you die.

Amy Snyder: Ribeye and fried lobster tail - fantastic as expected. For sides - if you like corn at all - get the corn mash. HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!!! And ask for Harland. Exceptional service!!!
GourmetLive: Zaza Pachulia of the Atlanta Hawks doesn’t go here for their lobster, but for their steak.
Jimmy Robertson: Make sure you are getting a reservation for the restaurant you want. Chops is upstairs. Chops lobster bar is downstairs. Entirely different atmospheres, yet same menu.

Creative Loafing Atlanta: The regular pizza Margherita is one of the better pizzas in town. For entrees, order the espresso-dusted elk. It comes over chestnut sformatino, and satisfies tender and meaty cravings generously.
Taste of Atlanta: If you're looking for a deal stop by for 10 At 10 - all pizzas are $10 after 10PM, nightly.
Creative Loafing Atlanta: During two visits, the pub has been crowded with locals, who seem delighted that a favorite has reopened after closing for some months. Read more.
AJC: Time to impress some big-wig clients with mouth watering steaks, New Orleans style sides and the perfect classic martini. Grab a seat on my favorite patio to check out Centennial Olympic Park. Read more.
Atlanta: Located just off Centennial Olympic Park, Ruth’s Chris Steak House is the perfect spot for a business lunch or a special occasion dinner – they even have an award-winning wine list!
Tiffany D: Try the sweet potato casserole! It's amazingly good!
