This is probably my favorite seafood restaurant in Atlanta for many reasons. First and foremost, Trederick has a parking lot so I didn't have to worry about stressing myself out for a parking spot. Secondly, the restaurant was very clean and even the bathrooms were spotless. In addition to the cleanliness, the restaurant was nicely decorated and wasn't as cheesy as most seafood restaurants I've dined at. Thirdly, the service was better than what I expect and actually commend them on providing quality customer service to their guests. Fourthly and probably the most important portion of this review is the food. The seafood selection includes fresh crab legs, lobster, shrimp, mussels, and scallops that can either have it grilled, boiled, or fried. I opted for the seafood basket with seasoned crab legs, beef sausage, shrimp, corn, boiled potatoes, and served with buttery garlic sauce. The crab legs had a ton of juicy meat inside and was flavorful. The shrimp was nicely broiled causing it to be nicely tender and tasty. The beef sausage was plentiful and enjoyable. The corn niblets and potatoes were both cooked perfectly and delicious. Along with the basket, my friend and I had the catfish platter with baked Mac & cheese. The catfish was lightly battered and couldn't stop eating it as it was very good. The baked Mac & cheese had a good amount of cheese in it and creamy too. Afterwards, we order their teriyaki wings which was my least favorite due to the flavor but next time I'll order unflavored wings instead. We ended our meal with their homemade carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and a refreshing cup of strawberry lemonade. The food was nicely price and they have a ton of selection to...
Read moresaw this place while driving home one day on Metropolitan and decided to try it. Me and a girlfriend of mine went for dinner. Let me start by saying that you cannot order drinks here, it has a sit down area but I can tell that guests mostly pick up the food and leave. If you want to have drinks, you need to order your food and go next door to the Blue Ivory Restaurant and Lounge (I think they are both owned by the same person), which is what me and my friend did. We ordered drinks there and waited for our food when our food arrived, it was so salty that we couldn't eat it. I NEVER send back food so I struggled through it but my friend had just had surgery and advised not to eat a lot of salt so she had to send hers back. The mgr at the lounge was super understanding. She actually tasted a small piece of my friends food (once she asked to send it back of course) and agreed that it was too salty to eat. I’m thinking maybe the chef was a little heavy handed with the salt that day and maybe it’s not normally that bad. Once we finished eating, the owner gave us a tour of the lounge, which is HUGE and has a lot of interesting spaces (I highly recommend checking them out for parties). Giving this place a 3 star only bc of the super salty food. The service was really good and everyone was personable...
Read moreThe customer service was HORRIBLE!!! There were to young ladies at the counter!!! Neither greeted us nor welcomed us in!! They didn't even bother to look from their phones!!! We had to ask questions about where the menus were? They didn't seem to know much about the menu or anything for that matter!!! They actually never said one word!!! They would shake their heads yes or no and shrug their shoulders!!!!! The Another customer came in while we waited for our food!!! They had a loud conversation with her...we figured out rather quickly that they knew her!!!! The food just OK!!! I had the fried catfish with fries!!! The fish was ok just very soggy!!! My husband got lemon pepper wings and fries!!! The wings look like they came from a tiny tiny baby chick!!! It was more lemon pepper than chicken!!! We got our food and decided to eat in the car!!! The tables in the lobby was dirty!!! The floor was dirty....Water was on the floor and no wet floor in sight!!! We will not be spending ANY more money in this place!! Definitely not worth the $40 plus tax that we spent there!!!! There's room for improvement but it starts with owners/...
