Lure

My sister and I love going on sibling dates and exploring new spots around Georgia, and we discovered this place through Instagram. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed—the exterior looked beautiful, and although the crowd leaned older, that didn’t bother us at all. We were seated right away, and our server (I wish I remembered her name!) was incredibly knowledgeable, especially when helping us choose wines that would pair well with our meals. She was attentive throughout the evening, and we felt well taken care of. We absolutely loved the oysters, the wine, and our entrees—everything was delicious. We left feeling happy and satisfied. Great experience all around!

Great atmosphere and solid seafood dishes at Lure. The whole pompano was flavorful but surprisingly small for the price ($54). Loved the oysters , the Anchovy Garlic Bread was a must-order. Service was attentive and friendly, though it got a little slow as the place filled up. Prices are on the higher end, but for the quality and experience, it feels fair. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area and love seafood!

Mix of surf and turf options at this well appointed midtown restaurant. Happy hour specials and half off oysters / wine on some days. We enjoyed our dozen oysters alongside their signature anchovy cheese bread. I had the sea bass which was well cooked but could have stood to have a bit more flavor. Our server was great but missed the daily specials (saw these on a chalk board on the way out), suspect they might be the way to go! Ate pretty early in the evening on a Saturday so it was very easy to get seating.

I went to happy hour and ordered half price oysters. Yum! Donald is a great bartender and was very welcoming. I also ordered the crispy shrimp, which was like a buffalo sauce shrimp. It was a very big portion, especially for happy hour prices. I also tried the Thai lemongrass muscles 😋 the sauce was very well balanced with sweet and spicy. Will definitely be back!

Our first time at Lure, but it will not be the last! We absolutely love, love, love this restaurant. Everyone there is just lovely, especially our server Julie - she's a ray of sweetness &light. The design and atmosphere here at Lure is beautiful, warm, and welcoming. Everything was super delicious. We started with the Cavier Oysters and the Anchovy Garlic Bread. For our entre, we ordered the Sea Bass and Pumpkin Swordfish. For dessert, we split a Pineapple Graham dish (begrudgingly - do yourself a favor and don't share your), and washed it down with one of the best Lattes I've ever had. Everything was perfection. We're putting Lure at the top of our go to List, and you should as well.

For a place that’s “famous” for their oysters, they really don’t know how to properly clean them. This was probably the grainiest and underwhelming oysters I’ve ever had. My partner and I left feeling like there was sand stuck in our throats because of how poorly the oysters were prepared. The tequila sunrise I ordered was also suspiciously colored, I almost suspected the orange juice they used was bad. Picture of the drink was before I mixed it. The only thing really saving this experience was the kind host and beautiful decor. Other than that, this experience was memorable for the wrong reasons.

My fiance and I are big foodies and we eat at new restaurants all the time in and around Atlanta. That being said, rarely do we leave feeling like “that was the best meal I’ve ever had.” The food and even my mocktail (yuzu margarita) almost brought me to tears, which is definitely not something I’ve ever felt about food before LOL. We started with 12 oysters, the chef brought us out some fresh horseradish and ~carrot~ cocktail sauce which really set them off. The star of the show for us was the Aguachile (seabass ceviche). The flavors in this dish were so interesting and delicious and mind blowing!! I had the seabass for dinner with a creamy leak sauce. The seabass was perfect crispy on the outside and the sauce was to die for. We usually don’t go back to the same restaurants in ATL since there are so many to try, but we cannot wait to come back here. On top of Excellent food, service was seamless and the atmosphere was so calming with great music that fit the vibe perfectly.

Waitress was amazing and knowledgeable! We enjoyed the patio atmosphere and music level. The scenery is relaxing with all put greenery. The food was fresh and incredible. Thanks for a wonderful staycation.

Expect a delightful assortment that is out of the ordinary. I love to take guests from out of town.

I came with a large party and no one was particularly happy with the food. We originally wanted to go to South City (went the next day and everyone enjoyed it) but the wait was long and we were too hungry. It was a disappointing experience but I wouldn't have reviewed if it wasn't for the additional gratuity that I included. Another friend made the same mistake. They have an automatic 20% service charge and didn't inform us. Sure, that's on me for not carefully reviewing my receipt but whenever that's been the case at other restaurants, I've been informed before payment. The fact they didn't, and ignored the email I sent the same night, tells me they're intentionally being deceptive. Also, seems like a couple recent reviews complained about being overcharged as well so beware...

Setting was energetic. Staff also energetic, if somewhat clueless. But what really sealed the deal was the food. Got champagne (it was a celebration). Didn't have the bottle we wanted, but they offered a substitute. The server volunteered he'd never heard of the vintage, which filled all of us with confidence. Oysters were fine. Crispy shrimp? Woopsie. Forgot about that. The nice server had watched The Bear (or his training manager had and kept saying "Heard." Heard? Yes. Listened to? Not so much. When those shrimp did show up the coconut was completely overwhelmed by the Texas Pete buffalo sauce in which they'd been drenched. Then my spicy shrimp bisque showed up. Was it spicy? Yes. Was there a shrimp? Yes, one, from a frozen bag somewhere deep in the walk-in. In a charming, if not aggressive, break with tradition, the bisque was not a smooth, creamy, highly seasoned French soup. It was a watery bowl of spice, unchopped onions and quartered tomatoes. Its best look was after the server had flung a fair amount on the table and my blazer. So what does one do with this disappointment? One goes to Blue India for a curry. Lure is aptly named. Don't be the fish.

Lure is supposed to be a seafood restaurant but they didn't have much of a selection of seafood. We were a party of 8 who dines out together monthly at restaurants around Midtown Atlanta. Our visit to lure was not pleasant. Several of us ordered salads with chicken as extra topping. The salads came out with no chicken on it. They took them back and brought them out again with the chicken. Ok, not too bad so far. The check was ready and most of us started paying though the QR code on the table. I paid for my portion. We then realized they had charged us for the salad plus the $35 chicken entree. The waitperson redid the bill even though several of us had already paid. She said she would reverse the charges and them manager asked us to pay again with our credit card and their handheld machine. So of course a week later I have.2 charges on my credit card. I called the restaurant and talked to the manager and the next day he told me accounting looked at it and they saw no reason to refund my $76. I have filed a dispute with my credit card company, and you can be assured we will never return to Lure. I doubt they will be in business much longer anyway.

Come and check out the newly relaunched, Lure kitchen and bar and stay a while for some happy hour specials from 4 to 6 PM. There are a myriad of dish options. Some of the favorites include crispy shrimp, the AguaChile, and the caviar deviled eggs. We sampled a couple of options from the crab fries to the seasonal oysters to the lovely salad with tahini dressing and pomegranate. Oysters are half off during happy hour so you don't wanna miss it! Showed up to Olivier on the delicious not a dingdong, chocolate dessert. It was so innovative and delicious and last but not least the bubble waffle with lychee, tropical fruit Ube and strawberry ice cream was so whimsical and delightful. I am very impressed.

I think this was an off night. I went with my girlfriend for her birthday dinner. Everything started off fine. We had a reservation, the inside was clean with low lighting. Our server was friendly, and our drinks came in a reasonable time and were correct. That's when things started going down hill... Another drink that we didn't order arrived at our table for some reason. We ordered the ceviche which was supposed to come with avocado, ginger, kalamansi. There was no avocado, and no kalamansi. It was mostly purple onion. When we asked for the avocado, we got a gray/green avocado puree. Next was the oysters. Broiled with chipotle butter. Rather, drowned in chipotle butter. More butter than oyster. We got 4 of them...for $19. So 2 drinks, 4 oysters, and mostly purple onion was $75. Well, it would have been more because the drink we DIDNT order showed up on our bill (which they did remove upon request). "Would you like to order entrees?" No, we will go somewhere else.

Trendy spot with a parking lot. Wonderful ambiance. Decore of high beam ceiling and mixed of old cement building with wood accents is absolutely amazing. Great bar display indoor and patio dining great place for business dinner, date night, anniversary or just hanging out. All staff members are kind and helpful. Food and beverages did not disappoint!

What a lovely evening. Staff was incredibly attentive. Food was excellent. Definitely going back. We also had the prawns, ceviche, tuna tartar, mojito, old fashioned. Excellent dinner.

I've been here a few times over the past 5 years or so... I've always felt that the food is good, but not great. Not sure I will be back, with the amount of great seafood spots in Atlanta.

Celebrated my birthday dinner here. The staff was polite and friendly and the food and drink was delicious. The place was somewhat empty for a Friday night, which was a good thing because all the attention was on making sure our food was good, lolol! But I believe there was something going on in the city and that could have been the reason why. Prices were very reasonable and the atmosphere has a nice vibe for date night or hanging with friends.

Nice spot with great outdoor seating. Went for a group dinner. Our server was very nice and gave great recommendations. The food was delicious. Really enjoyed myself.

I've walked past this establishment a number of times, and finally decided to drop in for happy hour. Best decision ever. The vibe inside the restaurant is super stylish. You can tell they took time to develop the aesthetics. Bree and Elia(sp?) took care of the sinks and service for the evening. Both of them were excellent bartenders and gave stellar recommendations. On top of that, Bree was nice enough to add me to the rewards program. I had (2) of the best old fashioned I've had in some time, a dirty martini, and a Sazerac served up at my request. All of which were sensational. For my food choices, I elected for the half dozen happy hour oysters, a soft shell crab bao, and a blackened salmon taco. The mignonette for my oysters was really tasty. The bite on it was tart and tasty. The bao was delicate and packed with flavor. The blackened salmon was out of this world. I'm coming back today

I took my wife for our anniversary dinner. The location and the ambience are great. A little noisy for a more intimate dinner, but the place was packed the night we went. They start your meal off with the most delicious bread. Ive seen it posted in multiple reviews and yes it's worth the hype. Savory, soft, salty! We then move on to appetizers. We had the octopus, rock shrimp (not on the menu), and raw oysters. Great selection and great oyster, our favorite were the Blackberry and Duxbury prime. The rock shrimp was a bust: small shrimp soaked in butter and lacked all sense of flavor. The octopus was chewy and overcooked and drenched in a sauce. Now our main dishes were amazing. My wife had the (Sole?Wolffish?), she can't remember and it's not on the current menu. The breading was perfect and the first was not overdone. Paired with the black-eyed peas, this felt like more of a southern style savory dish. I believe (I also honestly can't 100% remember now) I had the redfish with a celery puree. I do remember the fish was cooked perfectly and paired well. We devoured our entrees! We also ordered drinks. Honestly not bad. Pretty good bartenders. I had the Topsail and while it was good, not worth the price. Service was okay. Our server was good but not the most attentive. She also made some recommendations, but pretty much everything recommended was not great. Overall for the bread, oysters, and entrees, I enjoyed this place. Really hit an miss with somethings, but worth a visit if you're looking for good seafood in midtown.

Tasteful seafood themed decor with lots of wood furnishings. Catfish bites were delicious! I expected the texture of the fish to be more rough but it was very smooth and cooked to perfection. The tartar sauce paired well with it. While the portion size of the swordfish was not too big, it was cooked very well and I really enjoyed the au poivre sauce (an unusual accompaniment for a seafood dish) along with the potatoes and parsnips. The NY strip had a delicious charred crust and the kale, which soaked up the savory sauce, introduced an interesting texture to the dish. We ended the dinner on a cheerful note with the ricotta donuts which were the perfect level of sweetness (not too sweet). Pretty pricey but well worth the splurge.

My wife and I ventured back to Lure for an anniversary dinner, hoping to rekindle the fond memories of our last visit two years ago. At the time, it was a place that really understood how to let seafood shine--simple, fresh, confident. We learned quickly, though, that Lure has gone through a reinvention, a complete menu revamp, and is clearly trying something new. The service? Still good. The staff is attentive in a way that feels effortless. Every member of the team seems to know what you need before you do, which is no small feat. No complaints there. But the food, which used to be the main attraction, felt like it was in the middle of an identity crisis. Take the tuna, for instance. It used to come with crispy chips, but now they've paired it with sourdough toast. A bold choice, I suppose, but not one that works. Rather than dipping a crisp chip into the tuna, it sat on toast for a while, making it a little soggy. The shrimp, still a winner, was about the only thing that reminded me of why we came back. And then came the oysters, a decision I'll regret. By the third one, I was suddenly rushing to the bathroom. Something in that oyster and I did not get along, and I'll spare you the details, but let's just say I won't be forgetting it anytime soon. After that lovely interlude, I immediately felt better, and I was determined to give the rest of the meal a shot. But when the tamale arrived, it was swimming in mole sauce to the point that I wasn't even sure what I was eating. Crab, I think? Or lobster? Who knows? The flavors were so muddled that the seafood was entirely lost. And the crab roll? A once-delicate dish now overwhelmed by a heavy hand with the sauces. Whatever light touch they once had is long gone. Look, crab and lobster are divas. They don't need all this dressing up. A little butter, maybe a sprinkle of salt and lemon, and they'll take center stage. What I got was a cacophony of flavors, each jostling for attention but delivering only noise. I get that they're trying to reimagine the place, bring something fresh to Midtown with this new menu. They've certainly succeeded in shaking things up. But for $200, I think next time I'll head to The Optimist, where the seafood still knows how to stand on its own, without being buried in a sea of unnecessary flourishes. In the end, it's hard to see past the oyster debacle. I know, I know, raw shellfish is a gamble. Apparently, my oyster didn't get the memo that it was supposed to be safe in October, a month very clearly with an "R."

Reserved a part of 14 three weeks prior. Showed up and waiter was well trained however drinks were incorrect apps were mediocre at best. At that point things went down hill. Apps took a bit to get out but not insanely long. However this was the precursor of us waiting 1.5hrs for our entrees. The food was awful! Over cooked Bass and steak for everyone!! Do not waste your hard earned money there!

Went back to Lure with some good pals in celebration of my 39th birthday (actually 55th, but I'm 18 with 37 years experience). I've been here numerous times with usually good results, but last night wasn't one of them. For starters, we had the hamachi crudo and fritters with southern aioli. fritters were very good, and we all enjoyed the zing and crunch of that dish. the hamachi, however, was an ill-conceived plate where the fish was smothered in fruit cocktail and the hamachi was not even detectable. if you're serving hamachi crudo, the fish needs to be the star of the dish... and it wasn't. I attached a picture of that dish for reference. moving on to my main, which was swordfish: the fish itself was cooked ok (my sense is that it sat under the warming lamp too long) but the real issue I had was that it was served with an unctuous brown sauce more suited to a filet mignon or porterhouse. the sauce made absolutely no sense with the flaky delicacy of swordfish; I've cooked swordfish countless times at home and on no planet would I use that sauce (should be white-wine-based with capers and acid). the accompanying carrots and potatoes were not cooked correctly and were also ill-conceived. my co-diner had the mussels and pork-belly buns for his entree, both with their own problems. his mussels were over cooked and the sauce work was oddly out-of-whack with the protein. his buns were served with minuscule amount of pork, which was all gristle, and basically inedible. Lure comped both of his dishes. lone bright spot was my other co-diner's spiced salmon and street corn, which were both quite good. plating was off on his salmon, but it was quite tasty. I will also say last night's service was also pointedly lackluster, with plates sitting too long on the table and one guy asking to clear when we were barely halfway done. we appreciated the manager coming to speak with us when we offered notes for the chef, but in reality it shouldn't have come to that. they informed us Lure was in the midst of a chef changover, but that shouldn't have affected our meals in the way it very obviously did. in all honesty I love this place. the setting is superb and I want Lure to succeed, which is why I'm going into such detail here. for the amount of money we spent last night (without removals it was around $85 per person) we were extremely disappointed. for reference, the hamachi itself was $21 and the swordfish was $31. hoping these notes help the kitchen excel in the future.

Went here for a friend's birthday and the foodwas delicious. I had the roasted trout with arugula salad on the side. We had the crab dip and the hush puppies, which were really good. We sampled the garlic fries, which were OK. Our server brought every desert out for my friend to try for her birthday which all were just the right sweetness but not too much! Customer service was excellent.

Let me start with the pros: Service was impeccable. Our server "D" was knowledgeable, kind, and prompt, all with a smile! Ambiance was very chill and romantic, perfect place for a date night. For the most part, the food was incredible. We got the oysters, which were prepared with a parmesan topping. Divine! I also tried the corn/shrimp soup, which was rich and creamy. Delicious. We shared the baby street corn which my partner devoured! He also ordered the salmon, which was cooked to perfection. Unfortunately, my trout was over salted, which is why I'm giving them 4 stars. I wanted to love my food, but the saltiness was hard to overlook. I'd return to give them another try because everything else was great!

First time staying in Atlanta, stumbled on to Lure. Outside seating was pleasant, Service was amazing as well as food. Manager introduced himself to us and gave us the must see places.

It was 5 stars across the board! This place is a hidden gem in Midtown. Love the ambiance of this spot. Dining room is an intimate spot with cozy seating. We were seated right away by the hostess out in the patio around where the plants give the space a quiet semi private haven with minimal noise from the street. Marco our server came right over to ask if we wanted water ( they have choices!), see if we had any questions about the menu and to take our drink orders. Apart from Marco being wonderful what we also noticed was the teamwork exhibited by all the staff. Every server who walked by our table spoke and enquired if we needed anything. The young ladies who brought our drink, stopped and chatted. The manager stopped by our table to check on our food and the service. The food was delicious! Bisque was rich and creamy with lots of crab. Our fish entrees flaky, juicy and not overdone. We didn't have time for dessert but no worries, I'm sure we'll be back. To be noted there is a great selection of bourbons so stop by for the daily happy hour!

I came to Lure for a work happy hour. There is paid street parking as well as valet. We had a reservation for our party and were seated early as our party was arriving. During happy hour, Lure has some drink specials and $1.50 oysters. For our table, we got 2 dozen oysters, 2 orders of Lure's Hushpuppies, and 2 Baked Crab Dips. The oysters were an assorted selection from what they had and were pretty good. The Optimist is definitely my place of choice! The Baked Crab Dips were exceptional! It was so yummy and had a nice mix of crab. They also have some veggies you can get if you prefer no bread. The Hushpuppies were nice and moist, but really average. I got a Hurricane drink special and ordered the Carolina Trout for my entree. My favorite thing on my entree was the horseradish-chive potato. It was seasoned so well and the horseradish was just the right amount. The trout was cooked well with a crisp skin. The sauce that was plated was stunning and really helped with the fish. I think Lure was pretty good and had a great atmosphere for happy hour or date night. Steamhouse down the street definitely has a different vibe, but I would prefer that over Lure.

I recently visited this restaurant on my birthday and had a truly great experience. The food was delicious, and the service was top-notch. The ambiance of the place is a nice chill vibe. I must say that our waiter was PHENOMENAL, making the entire experience all the more special. From the moment I walked in, to being served with my meal, and finally, being presented with a candle on my dessert for my birthday, I felt like I was truly valued as a customer. The level of service and attention to detail was truly impressive and made my birthday celebration even more memorable. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food, exceptional service, and a memorable experience. The next time you're in town, be sure to stop by and treat yourself to a meal here - you won't regret it! *sorry I forgot to capture the main dish but we had the Carolina Trout which is to die for. Very good!

My waiter JP was great! I had a fifth group gift-card given to me in december hat i wanted use before i headed back home to LA. So i searched the groups website again to decide where i wanted to try and Lure seemed like my best. Im so gald i went. The watermelon salad was ABSOLUTELY delicious. The blue crab dip has been on my brain since the day I left. The house made chips were perfectly baked and seasoned. The lobster Mac was okay. That chipotle parm on the charbroiled oysters was a spin on the classic chargrilled oyster I have not experienced and I'm a Louisiana girl! I've had plenty variations. Great visit! I recommended them to my folks in ATL before I headed back home! If I'm back soon, I will absolutely be back!

I could eat the ceviche and tuna tartare on toast every night! This was my second visit to Lure and I enjoyed myself even more than the first time. I had a Gone with the Wind, twist on an Old Fashioned - excellent! Then we shared the two appetizers that were citrusy and delicious. Highly recommend. The hanger steak was delicious too and "D" took great care of us!

this place! I love the food and the atmosphere. The service is impeccable and you can tell that the staff actually likes to work there. This is my main place to go for a seafood fix. You have to try the Tackle Box. The jalepeno ceviche is brilliant.

Lure, always a great love of mine. My friend and I dined here last night. We decided to meet at 5:30, immediately after work, and I was pleasantly surprised to find their happy hour specials! My friend and I both indulged in Old Fashioned drinks for $7 and I ordered five raw oysters for $1.50 each. The oysters weren't the best I've ever had; they were scrawny and not plump, but for $1.50 I'm not complaining too much. The drink is absolutely worth it for $7! There's a few food items to choose from and a limited selection of drinks on their happy hour menu - it's definitely a deal for being in the heart of Midtown. I wasn't particularly hungry so I ordered a personal favorite, the Baked Crab Dip - hatch chili, jack cheddar, chive, baguette for dinner. I also ordered a cup of the Shrimp & Crab Bisque - house crème fraiche. I ended up tasting one spoonful of the bisque and sent it back, and y'all, I NEVER send food back, but I found this to be incredibly inedible. It was extremely salty and the texture was an oddly thick puree - reminiscent of baby food. If it weren't so salty, I would have tried to finish it but I absolutely could not find a way around eating it. The server was totally understanding and offered to take the item off our bill or have me order a replacement, and I opted to skip on another item. My friend enjoyed the NY Strip Steak - wilted kale , pearl onion, wild mushrooms , cabernet jus. He finished every bite so I'm assuming it's very good! He also tried my baked crab dip and was very complimentary of that as well. After we finished our HH drinks, we moved on to the reason we keep returning to Lure - their punch bowls! We shared a Fizzy Lifting Punch - aperol, peach blossom, orange, prosecco. This was good! Y'all, I've always been a huge fan of Lure but have found that in recent years their menu selection has been a bit disappointing. Gone are the days of calamari and clam chowder. My friend and I both struggled with finding something to order from the menu, and that's disappointing for one of my favorite spots. If you read this, Lure, bring back our favorites, please! We enjoyed fantastic service as always and the atmosphere was warm and inviting - not too busy. Great spot to enjoy a nice evening in Midtown!

Parking Parking is horrible we ended up parking 3 blocks from Lure. Sunday parking was $20, the parking lot was sketchy and isolated. However, after speaking to the gentleman at the front of the restaurant he stated next time to park at the Moxy Hotel. I think the Moxy is a couple of blocks from Lure. Restaurant Upon entering Lure the decor is minimal, but nice. My spouse and I were the only diners in the restaurant. Our server was very pleasant and came to the table as soon as we were seated. Food Now it goes downhill for us. My spouse ordered the Gulf Sea Bass. The summer squash were chopped very rough and large. She could not cut through the squash with her fork. I ordered the char broiled oysters Rockefeller. I did not have any spinach. They were salty and did not have the char broiled flavor. I also order the Blue Crab Dip with potato chips. It tasted like old bay seasoning on the potato chips. Very salty. I did not taste blue crab in the dip. First bite of the dip has a very vinegary taste. Unfortunately, this restaurant is not a do over for us.

We had a reservation for Valentine's Day dinner at 6:30pm. We were seated right away and ordered a bottle of Prosecco. But they were all out - at 6:30pm on Valentine's Day - seemed odd. The manager came and spoke to us and sent someone to their other restaurant to get some bottles. We were happy and appreciative of the great service. We order a salad the trout. The trout was delicious! Would definitely go back for that again. The sea bass looked amazing also - the couple next to us ordered it. We tried the red velvet brownie dessert with ricotta cheese ice cream. Very different. The brownie was bit on the firm side and I wasn't keen on the ice cream flavor of cottage cheese. I think you have to really like ricotta cheese to enjoy it. Cute place, we were on the side of the enclosed patio area.

Absolutely loved the food and drinks here. The peach bourbon smash was not sweet at all--it was perfect. The catfish bites were pretty good, and the blue crab dip was surprisingly light and tart. The trout, however...the trout was AWESOME. So flavorful, and the horseradish mashed potatoes and crunchy green beans were all so perfect together. The bar service was pretty slow and forgetful, but the food made up for it.

I came to Lure for my birthday and I absolutely LOVED it ! Marcco was our server and he was so knowledgeable of the menu, very attentive and personable! He made the experience even better. I ordered the chargrilled oysters as a starter and they were incredible, my mom and aunt ordered the lobster bisque and hush puppies and the lobster bisque was super creamy and actually had nice sized lobster in the dish. The hushpuppies weren't dry and the sauce that came with them was soooo good!! For my entree I did the trout and it was amazing! It was very light and refreshing dish, not too heavy but it was a little on the saltier side. The swordfish was soooo good though, if you like something more flavorful and filling, I recommend that instead. Lastly we got the Peach roasted sundae for dessert and it was so good! Had to break my diet for that one. They were so sweet they also brought out a birthday dessert also and it was so amazing! I am definitely coming back and thanks Marcco for the amazing service!

The food here is very yummy, but I would appreciate more genuine service. The beet salad is not to be missed. This is a solid spot for sure, but I find is lacking a bit of magic at its price point.

So we tried to come here a few weeks ago and it was closed for a private party! I was bummed but good to know that you can host an event here. It's a pretty large spot with a covered outside seating area. The bar is really beautiful. It's the first thing that you notice when you walk in. The place has 'old ship' vibes, which makes sense since it's a seafood restaurant. We made reservations. I always suggest that. Every table ended up being filled by 7pm and the bar was pretty poppin too. I ordered a glass of white wine - solid Sauvignon blanc. To start we ordered the baked crab dip (delicious with a good amount of crab), hush puppies (our friends loved them, but they weren't my favorite :/ I thought they were a little dry, although the aioli helped), and the crispy ginger dumplings (LITERALLY AMAZING, order these). The only bummer about the appetizer section is that there aren't many gluten free options, so my boyfriend was only able to eat the crab dip with veggies. For entrees we split the faroe island salmon and roasted half chicken. It doesn't say it on the menu but prepare to wait at least 20ish minutes for the chicken to cook. It is huge. The meals were delicious and cooked perfectly, but I kept wishing I ordered more dumplings lol they really stole the show for me. Our server was very kind and attentive. We plan to come back for happy hour because the menu for the price looks great! I'd love to try to oysters. All in all a positive experience and are excited to return.

Food: I ordered the kale Caesar salad, hush puppies and a dozen oysters for starters. The Caesar salad was really fresh and the browned croutons gave it a good extra flavor. The hush puppies were good overall, but some of them were a little over cooked on the outside. The sauce though was GREAT. The oysters were super fresh and came with cocktail sauce, crackers, horseradish, vinegar. I ordered the trout and the flavor from the potatoes and the crispiness of fish was so good. They didn't overdo it with the seasonings on the fish which brought out the natural flavor a lot more. Service: our server was amazing. He knew the menu really well and made some great recommendations. Food came out really fast.

The food was amazing! Gorgeous plating and really good flavor for each dish. I expected to be unimpressed with the bread and arugula salad but I was pleasantly surprised. Every course was delicious and unique. The service was a bit slow, but with a party of our size (50?) I don't blame them. The wait staff was so friendly and welcoming, more so than what I've seen so far in midtown Atlanta. Great atmosphere. My seat was a little uncomfortable but it wasn't a huge deal. - Bread and hushpuppies 10/10 - arugula salad 9/10 - Salmon 10/10 the skin with the peaches and lemon was just amazing and unlike any salmon ive had before - Chocolate Cake 8/10 (least inspiring dish)

Solid 3 mainly based on service and timing. I arrived right before their happy hour ended (website said 6 pm) and then 2 other parties sat down afterwards who were friends with the bartender. Had to wait until after they got their food in for my items. The food was decent. Drinks & service, just ok.

My boyfriend and I had dinner at Lure this evening and the food was excellent, the service stupendous! We arrived by chance during Happy Hour and there were some great deals. I forget our server's name but she was super attentive without being annoying. Everyone in the place was all smiles and made us feel so welcome. Manager Rodney was super friendly and kind, making sure we were happy customers. We live in Oregon and this was our one dinner experience in Atlanta -- needless to say, we got a great impression at Lure.

We came on a Saturday night to celebrate a family birthday, the GM came over introduced himself and told us a lil back story about the restaurant, our waiter Mark was very attentive and knowledgeable with us and the menu. Honest about what to order. I got the raw oysters, kale Cesar salad and the scallops everything was CHEFS KISS!! It wasn't to loud, we could hear ourselves and didn't even need to yell, but could hear other conversations. The restaurant welcoming, open in outside seating as well. We will be back.

We had early dinner and it wast really busy which made the experience even better. Ordered the Seabass as a main course and it was worth every penny - what is great dish. I was a bit concerned with the side, but it complimented the fish. Wine was fairly priced which made it a great evening. Will return.

Enjoyed the vibe. It wasn't too loud and the service was good. I didn't love my meal. I also thought overall it was pretty pricey. It was great though for a larger group of 8 people.

We had the most lovely dinner here. The food was incredible and all the portions were perfect. I would eat here over and over again for the tuna tartar, ceviche, and octopus al pastor. The ambiance outside is beautiful with natural wood and our server, D, was so bubbly and friendly. The special peach mojito was also delicious.

Lure is my favorite restaurant in Atlanta. - excellent service - creative drink options and a well-priced happy hour (bar only) - the crab dip is incredible - you must order the oysters--Rockefeller are my favs - the menu rotates a bit, but if they have it the salmon with beurre blanc is drool-worthy - I've been here several times and they are consistent

What can I say...this restaurant is everything! We had a reservation and were seated right away. The restaurant is dimly lit, good set up for a date night or just a casual dinner. The server brought out a glass bottle of water and filled up small glasses for us. She gave us time to look over the drink menu and and choose appetizers. She gave us some of her favorite choices. We went with the char broiled oysters: 3 with the Crawfish Mornay Sauce and 3 Scampi. Our favorite was the scampi. After ordering drinks, she went over the dinner menu with us. Everything sounded delicious. We decided on the Shrimp Tagliatelle and the Pan Seared Gulf Sea Bass. Each entree was flavorful and plated nicely. I will definitely be back!

I've visited Lure multiple times throughout the years and I can say it's a consistent establishment. Their menus have changed a couple of times, but it always has a nice selection of items. I dined in most recently on a Saturday night at 7:30 pm for a birthday dinner. We had a great time. Great music. Restaurant was not overly crowded. The food did take a bit longer than expected to arrive, but the staff was apologetic regarding the food's arrival time. The staff is all very engaging and attentive. We really enjoyed the beverage manager, Frank, and all his knowledge and recommendations. The only thing that has gotten worse over the years in the parking situation. There used to be valet, but the past two times I've been here, they don't. There is a dark, dark alleyway that you need to walk through from the self park lot (that charges $20) and it honestly can be extremely sketchy. I'm not always a fan of valet, but somewhere like this, it's definitely needed.

Visited on November 20, 2022 for dinner. Our server was very nice and accommodating. The General Manger came over to the table and was very personable. We were celebrating a birthday. We ordered Oyster Rockefeller and the Crab dip (sorry cant remember the actual title). They were both very good. Crafted cocktails were good as well. Our entrees were served with a great presentation and hot. I ordered the salmon and the second dish was the trout. Both were prepared well. Unfortunately, the salmon just didn't agree with my palate. The GM and server were very nice and accommodating. I really appreciate the excellent service, professionalism and attention to detail. I would recommend coming to this restaurant. The atmosphere is a sexy casual type location. Great for anything. Thank Lure for a great evening.

Service was amazing, food was even better. This is the perfect place for date night and a nice alternative to Colony Square.

Not a fan of the food here but I could see how people love this place. The service was pretty good as well.

Lure has been a go to for seafood in midtown for a long time and I always enjoy it! The service is top tier and all of the staff ensure you're enjoying your experience. The ambiance is cute and I normally run to hang out on the patio when the weather permits. The crafted cocktails are great and they have a good wine selection + happy hour. The seafood is very fresh and consistently tasty. Make sure you save room for dessert! I'd highly recommend!

The food was amazing, everything we had was delicious. The Oysters was my favorite. Our waiter Courtney was a total vibe very attentive and kind. The parking was limited but available. The food and experience overall were reasonable not overly priced. The drinks were OK also.
