Message In a Bottle

I was in the area and decided to stop by after exploring Dunwoody Village while running an errand. There was a wedding reception going on and the first place I stopped at was closed for a private event. Message in a Bottle, it is!I was seated quickly on an early Saturday evening. But I definitely wasn't acknowledged quickly. After 30 minutes, I was finally asked if I needed help. If it wasn't for the fact that I saw Old Bay fries on the menu (fries are my weakness), I would've left sooner. But right as I was about to leave, Catherine came to see if anyone had served me yet. She apologized and was super attentive during my dining experience.The She Crab Soup and Caesar Salad were a good start, especially the soup. For my entree, I went for all things fried because why not? Everything was seasoned and prepared well. I also had cocktails and dessert, which were good too.After a not-so-good start, things ended on a good note thanks to Catherine. I went from feeling invisible to being given a high level of attention, which I greatly appreciated.

Great place. Went on Sunday night.Our sever was so nice! Great drinks & wine list. I had a nice white wine to start. We ordered straight from the entrees. I had the shrimp grilled & hubby had fish of the day Veracruz. Both entrees were great! Will come back for happy hr to try the shrimp & oysters. Very relaxing dinner!

Food was amazing along with attention to detail from the server up to the Chef. We had oysters and for fried platter and I must say it was crispy and not ever seasoned or oily it was perfect. Already recommended some friends and will be back.

There were two standouts in the meal: the blackened grouper sandwich was stellar (I will return for this alone), and the saffron rice that came with the pan seared striped bass was delicious. The latter was cooked in the Ibiza style. I wasn't blown away by the bass itself - it was outshone by its starch - but it was fine. Good quality, just not terribly flavorful. Perhaps I should've gone with salmon. The French fries were mediocre, both unseasoned and crinkle cut, which if you check my other reviews, I'll say it again - this is the second worst type of fries, and steak fries almost don't count (they're more like a baked potato than a proper French fry type). However, I grade on the best thing a place offers, and I have to tell you, the sandwich itself was phenomenal. Simple, yet it shone with great components. The bread was perfect, the spicing, whatever aioli they had in there, pickles, lettuce, whatever, it was crunchy and moist and flavorful. I had driven, so I ordered an Arnold Palmer (half iced tea, half lemonade), and they got the right balance - where it's really 2/3 unsweetened iced tea - so it was refreshing without being too sugary. The waitress also kept me from running too low on the drink before bringing a refill without having to flag her down or even look up from my meal/companion.The service was excellent. The decor was extremely well thought out and executed. They had a mix of tasteful and a particular, intentional kitsch meant to evoke the sea/beach places that many people have been to elsewhere in the USA. The pricing was reasonable. It's a little hidden if you're not familiar with the shopping center, but it's a heck of a nice place.

This restaurant is in this little cute plaza with other restaurants. Has its own parking. The service was very friendly. I had ordered the crabcakes which unfortunately had to send back because they were completely mushy and undercooked. I would venture to say that it was basically raw. I could not eat it so I sent it back. They did remake it. It took a long time probably about the time. It should've take them to actually cook something. The interesting thing was that one they gave me my bill first they double charged me they charge me for the one that I had returned and for the one that they had to rebook. I didn't ask them for a new one. I just asked them to cook the original one. The other interesting thing about this place was on my truck. They have those pre-programmed buttons of 20% 25% 30% tips but if you do the math the numbers don't actually align. My bill end up to be approximately $50 because I had the crabcakes and a couple of the uptown girl drinks. The pre-calculate a tip for my $50 bill was $22. If I was unable to do math I would've completely over tip them rather than tipping them the 20% that I had intended which would've been the $10 OK move it more for the trouble because of the returning of the crabcakes and end up taking them $12 which is still better than they should've been but nowhere near the $22 that they were asking for which was ridiculous and also some type of fraud because there's no way that $22 is 20% of $50 in the pre-calculated button I don't know they do this to everybody but that is definitely a problem.

From the moment I walked in, I received excellent service from the host to the bartender and food runner. I could just tell from the bartender (Tommy) that this place was amazing. The bisque was truly the best I ever had. Literally melted in my mouth and they weren't skimping on the meat. The Cioppino had the right amount of sauce and seafood added, big enough portion for a late night snack. The Banana Foster needs its own paragraph. OMG!!!!!! Ahhh it's so yummy and tasty. I wish I could lick the bowl. Overall, this restaurant exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to come back and try the other items.

First timer, the food was very good. I had the calamari (didn't like), had the fisherman bounty and I must say enough food for two people and very good.

Start I like thank Tommy the bartender for my key lime pie for my birthday dessert. He is very good knows the menu very well. I started with Oyster on half shell. Their horseradish is the best some of the hottest I ever had. Then had Crab and Lobster bisque very good. Tell the chefs is from Maryland it has old bay. Then I had the Shrimp scampi. It was delicious. Big shrimp on there. Thanks to Tommy I had key lime pie for birthday dessert. Wonderful. I will return again. On Tuesday happy hour shrimp and / or oysters. Oh yeah had espresso martini. Again thank you.

After 3 visits, decided on a 4.Brunch was very good, but mussels were a bit weird flavor. Eggs Benedict was better.Went for happy hour tonight (4-6pm) both of us started with 6 oysters and 6 jumbo shrimp. Both are excellent , tasty, only $1.50 each during happy hour. Drinks $5. I had gumbo and wife had mussels to follow. Both very good. Will go back for happy hour
