My husband and I went to the Atlanta Fish Market Friday night. We were about 5 minutes late for our reservations because of traffic, and it was another 5 minutes before we were seated. We opted to skip the appetizers and get salads instead. His cesar salad was good, and my ""AFM"" dinner salad was good. His said his blackened Alaskan halibut was an incredible piece of fish and worth the $24 price. I had a good linguini pasta dish without seafood since I can't stand seafood. Dessert for my husband was a hazelnut chocolate cake, and I got the toffee chocolate pie. Both were very yummy and very heavy. I brought about half of my dessert home. The service was pretty decent as far as the pace of the courses and drink refills, but our server stopped by a few times to casually chat while we were eating our food. We had to ask him to let us finish our meal before talking. No offense, I was there to talk to my dining companion, not the waiter.\r

We were surprised at how casual and diverse the restaurant clientele was. There were families with small, well behaved children, older couples, and people our age in groups. This is the most casual of the Buckhead Life Group restaurants I've been to. People were in everything from skirts to shorts and sandals. Given the quality of the food, we will be back. It would be a nice place to go with another couple or two.
Pros: Excellent food, good desserts, good for families with children, valet parking
Cons: Chatty servers, waiting even with reservations
