Seafood Restaurant Message in a Bottle Opens in Dunwoody, While Tel Aviv Street Food Restaurant Rina Opens in Alpharetta at Avalon | Eater Atlanta

"Described as serving "superior seafood and sailor spirits," the new restaurant at Village Dunwoody opened for dinner over the weekend and is fashioned after beach restaurants like Shunk Gulley Oyster Bar, the Fish House, and Cottage Cafe; seating is available in the dining room and on a screened porch. The menu features raw-bar selections including blue crab louis, shrimp cocktail, and oysters, alongside gumbo, bowls of steamed mussels, and entrees such as fried fish, seafood-laden pasta, and a Maine lobster pot pie. Wine selections lean toward lighter reds and seafood-friendly whites, and cocktails follow a coastal theme with tiki, Caribbean, rum, and tequila drinks. Message in a Bottle is open for dinner now, with weekend brunch beginning in December." - Beth McKibben

Message in a Bottle Seafood Restaurant and Raw Bar Is Opening at the Village Dunwoody | Eater Atlanta

"A beach-inspired, 100-seat seafood restaurant from Dash Hospitality (the team behind Morty’s Meat and Supply and Barn Booze and Bites) slated to open this fall in the Village Dunwoody. Modeled on beach favorites like Shunk Gulley Oyster Bar, the Fish House, and Cottage Cafe, it will serve “superior seafood and sailor spirits” for dinner and weekend brunch. The menu ranges from grouper sandwiches, barbecue shrimp, and Cobb salad to crab claws and fish en papillote, while a raw bar will offer oysters, poke, ceviche, and sashimi. The space includes a dining room and screened porch, a coastal-focused cocktail program (tiki, Caribbean, rum and tequila drinks), and a wine list favoring lighter reds and seafood-friendly whites. The restaurant opens onto the complex courtyard—which has a large outdoor screen and a stage for live music and events—and is the third new eatery in the Village Dunwoody as part of owner David Abes’ revitalization project." - Beth McKibben

Located in Funwoody (Dunwoody Village), we enjoyed an early dinner on Sunday. Paige is a fantastic server, both personable and funny! We enjoyed cocktails, appetizers and yummy entrées (pics included). The Key Lime pie was enough for us to split.

Food here is always great. Service was good overall as well but unfortunately the server brought us a replacement wine without telling us. I noticed that the label was not the Stags Leap Artemis we had ordered, but the Stags Leap The Investor. We only ordered the Artemis because they had half price on wine bottles on Wednesday and the Artemis being priced at $150 on the menu coming at $75 would have been a lovely way to celebrate the special occasion. The retail price for this wine is $70. The Investor on the other hand is about $50. Its a good wine as well and can make for a nice alternative if the Artemis is not available, but simply switching one for the other, keeping the price unchanged and not telling the customers about it is not quite right in my view. I encourage the owner to 1. always be transparent beforehand with customers whether they are fine with an alternative and 2. adjust the price if the alternative has a significantly lower price point. Other than that it’s a lovely place that we‘ve always enjoyed visiting.

We came for the happy hour, and from the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly host, and our server, Triend, was amazing. The raw oysters were incredibly fresh, and the restaurant has a great beachy vibe that makes you feel like you’re on vacation. Chef Matt and the rest of the team even checked in on us frequently, which was a nice touch. I had the shrimp scampi, and I’m already craving it again—it was delicious! It was a little tricky to find since it’s tucked away, but there’s plenty of parking available in the lot. Highly recommend this place!

A wonderful new restaurant in the Dunwoody Village. Oysters were incredible, good size, well sourced, plated with the works. Cioppino pasta was a favorite, hearty and generous portion of seafood and linguine. Lobster pot pie was a real comfort food. Key lime pie is noticeably better than most, not a typical custard style, but a dense, proper rich filling. Staff was incredible. Our server, Sam was knowledgeable, concise, and kept the wine coming. Brian, the manager was attentive and made sure we were enjoying our night. Looking forward to coming back for a few more signature cocktails and more oysters.

Great first experience and will definitely return! Our waitress, Kacy, and support staff were prompt and attentive. I enjoyed a bowl of Gumbo the Gulf shrimp special with the Saffron rice. The first plate was very spicy, so the manager promptly replaced it. My wife enjoyed the grouper sandwich and our daughter had the crab cakes and lobster bisque. The wine was excellent as welll as the Key Lime Pie. TTL $285 for three people.

Wow sums it up. We are usually tired and recluses on Friday night (my “no-cook” night), but eating here (instead of takeout/delivery) was our best decision in a long time! Our 14 year old daughter devoured her edamame and fresh sushi and enjoyed two virgin White Claws ?!?!?! My husband and I enjoyed way too much - raw oysters, beet salad, calamari with a pepper/onion mix and sauce to die for, two sushi rolls and the red fish and grits (a stand out but all was crazy good). We are so fortunate to have such a high quality seafood and sushi restaurant in Dunwoody. Service was friendly, prompt and attentive by all, particularly our main server Erin. The place is beautiful and casual and upscale at same time.

Service was excellent; food was okay. The grouper was supposed to be blackened; it lacked flavor and the sandwich and fries were a bit cold when served. Also, the portions were small given the high prices…Even the ketchup portions were sparring…Alcoholic drink was also just okay, but again the cup was 3/4 full and cost ~$15. The tres leches chocolate cake was delicious! Not sure if I’ll return.
