10 Atlanta Starters That Are The Main Event - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"This Greek restaurant in Buckhead mixes bite-sized morsels of wood-grilled octopus with salty olives, capers, olive oil, and red onions. The effect is like a great magic trick, where the dish of tender, charred octopus vanishes within seconds after being delivered to the table. You might even be tempted to make it reappear (order another round)." - jacinta howard, juli horsford, nina reeder, jacinta howard, juli horsford, juli horsford, juli horsford, juli horsford, jacinta howard, jacinta howard, nina reeder, nina reeder, juli horsford

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had the salmon pasta at Octopus and it was absolutely delicious! The salmon was perfectly cooked and the pasta was creamy, rich, and full of flavor—definitely one of the best I’ve had in a while. I also enjoyed a cocktail with my meal that was just as impressive—well-balanced, refreshing, and made with quality ingredients. The vibes were relaxed yet stylish, and the service was attentive and friendly. If you’re looking for a solid spot for great food and drinks, Octopus is it!

I really enjoyed Octopus Bar and Lounge it was very Central to the city although the parking isn't all that great once you find a place to park and you can make it inside there's ample seating if you sit at the bar they also provide free hookah the service is really good and they were friendly the food was on par for what you would expect for a place like this however don't let that deter you. The drinks are top-notch is definitely a place where I would go again

I placed a pickup order that included the blackened salmon with mixed green salad, asparagus, and rice, along with octopus eggrolls. When I got home, I realized the eggrolls and the salad were missing. On top of that, the salmon was undercooked and the asparagus wasn’t fully done either. I called to ask about the missing items, and at first, they tried to say they had been included. Once the manager got on the phone, she admitted they had actually run out of eggrolls—but no one mentioned that when I picked up my order. Instead, they let me leave without saying anything, which felt like they were hoping I wouldn’t notice. The manager told me I could either take a credit or file for a refund through Uber Eats (where I originally placed the order). Either way, the whole experience was frustrating and inconvenient. Between the missing items, undercooked food, and lack of communication, I just can’t see myself coming back.

If you’re craving seafood done right, the crab leg combo I had was absolutely worth every bite. The crab legs were perfectly steamed—juicy, tender, and bursting with that natural sweetness only fresh crab can deliver. They cracked open with ease, making the whole experience smooth and satisfying. Ace was an awesome server! She made sure all my request were met! Thanks ACE!!

So I came here for my birthday on a solo mission since this place is in my backyard. I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful it is in the inside. Dess was my hostess and she really did a phenomenal job. She recommended the best food & took my photos. I received complimentary hookah & bubbly 🥂. It was really awesome. This is the most important part. I left my purse behind for 5 hours before I realized. I called up there & sure enough Dess said yes you left it behind. I went back to get it & everything was all there. They have a loyal & returning client in me. I’ll tell everyone I know about you all. I pray nothing but eternal blessings over you all and your establishment.

The experience overall was good. Parking was weird. Expect to pay $20/ for valet parking. They don’t offer any other option. It is on a corner lot and a little difficult to spot from the street. Be cautious when paying your tab. They do not mention that they add an automatic 20% gratuity to your tab, yet when they ask for your signature they will still display additional tip options ON TOP of the 20% gratuity already applied. The drinks are over-priced and if you want anything that’s not a house option you’re paying about $30 for a basic mixed drink. Other than that, the food is good. The food portions are worth the money. Not sure about much else. The service was good. The atmosphere is chill and cute. Does look super DIY in some spots but that doesn’t take away from the experience.

I enjoyed my meal at Octopus Kitchen. The vibe was nice for brunch. All the food came out so fast and it was seasoned well. I had the shrimp and grits with the truffle fries. Our server was Ace she was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed with quickness. I will be visiting again!!

March 2025: I kicked off my weekend at Octopus ATL, and let me tell you--it did not disappoint! If you're looking for a seafood and Mediterranean spot with great vibes in the heart of Atlanta, this is it. Our server was super friendly and helped us to navigate the menu to choose the most delicious menu items. Brunch here runs every Saturday & Sunday until 5 PM, and they do it right. I grabbed a seat on their gorgeous garden patio, enjoyed the fresh air, and indulged in: Chicken & Waffles - crispy, flavorful, and the perfect sweet-savory combo Lamb Chops & Eggs - cooked just right and packed with flavor Calamari - crispy and tender with the perfect dipping sauce Fried Shrimp - seasoned to perfection The music kept the energy high, the cocktails were chef's kiss, and the vibes? Absolutely unmatched. Plus, they've got $75 Moët Rosé bottles, shisha, and plenty of TVs if you're trying to catch the game. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, planning a date night, or just switching up your usual brunch plans--Octopus ATL is definitely worth checking out! 1551 Piedmont Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30324 Will I be back? Absolutely.

It's no wonder they constantly have to send out "50% off your entire bill" text promotions--because the lack of patrons likely stems from poor integrity and terrible communication. We recently dined here using one of those offers, and it became clear that the deal is misleading. They try to charge gratuity based on the pre-discount total, not your actual final bill. Our bill came to $160 after the discount, but they calculated gratuity based on the original $300 total. That's not only unethical--it's actually illegal. It felt like a scam and completely soured our experience. On top of that, they push the $25 brunch bottles hard because it's extremely low-quality brut. Any time we've tried to order one of the other proseccos or the $75 Moët bottle (which should be half off too), they suddenly "ran out." It's very obvious they do this to avoid honoring the better-value deals they promote. This was our last time dining here. My husband and I shouldn't have to argue over a bill that's intentionally padded and wrong. There are too many other restaurants in the city with great food, better service, and most importantly--honest business practices.

I brought my friends here who were visiting New York and was severely embarrassed. I had a truly disappointing experience at Octopus Kitchen. From the moment we walked in, the service was unwelcoming. Both the manager and our server gave us a hard time when we tried to use a valid 50% off code--they treated us like we were trying to cheat the system instead of honoring the promotion they advertised. On top of the poor attitude, the restaurant was not clean. There were flies around our table, which made it hard to enjoy our meal. To make matters worse, they charge $20 for valet parking and offer no validation. It's ridiculous to pay that much when you're already spending your money at their establishment. Between the unfriendly staff, unsanitary conditions, and unreasonable parking fees, this was a complete waste of time and money. I won't be back and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The food was good but it didn't outweigh the other circumstances.

Overrated IMO. We made a reservation for the "garden". Not much of a garden, grass walls with a couple hanging plastic plants. After we were seated it took forever for our server to arrive. We ordered the fried calamari and a couple drinks. The calamari was seasoned well, but super greasy. Then we ordered hookah and a couple more drinks. The hookah was just ok and the drinks were decent. 4 drinks and one appetizer later, our bill was $200. Maybe that was bc they add a 20% gratuity to every bill. That on top of the $20 valet parking. Definitely not worth it.

It started of interesting, then reeeeally swung toward the positive. Parking is still a little weird, but we found a spot around the corner. Then we were able to get a table in the patio-like area, which has a pretty set up! You have to text a number to pull up the menu on the phone, BUT once we got our orders in, things started to look up! IMPORTANT TO NOTE: There is FREE hookah before 6pm on weekdays. Heart eyes, okay? They were out of a few wines we tried to order, but the bottle of Pinot Grigio we settled on was actually really tasty. And when the food came, the portions were HUGE! It was fried heaven and GREAT eating. I really like the calamari and truffle potatoes personally. Maybe next time I'll try the crab soup. Also a fan of the octopus egg rolls. The vibe was great and more people started to trickle in as the night went on, so it was active and the playlist was lit. We stayed longer than expected, and we would have stayed even longer if schedules allowed. In short, very pleased with my experience.

I previously put in a good review due to the barbartender asking for my party & I to do so. HOWEVER that was a horrible mistake on my part. Ms. Nae asked my 2 friends & I to leave a positive review for her in exchange for a free shot so of course we happily accepted the offer. When I say AS SOON AS the review was complete & we closed our tab, she literally KICKED US OUT of our seats from the bar claiming "she had other customers waiting" which was total BS. There was no line, no customers waiting to be seated & not one soul waiting to be attended to. If you needed the positive feedback THAT BAD then just say that. Dont LIE claiming that there is a 60 minute wait in time for paying customers but then ask the same customers you plan on kicking OUT to leave a positive review for you. Not to mention the annoying gnats flying all around us the entire time. Especially AFTER we agreed to leave a positive review for your business that would benefit the business as a whole & not just you individually. Please go play in someone else's face. This is EXACTLY why I stay home. Never again will I give them a chance.

We came mid day on a Sunday. The place wasn't too busy. The service was prompt and friendly. The food was hit and miss.. we liked the truffled potatoes appetizer and calamari. We were not fans of the crab soup. The Sautéed Octopus stole the show, it was delicious. The mussels were tender but the creamy sauce was almost overly rich.. the linguine was ok. Overall, we enjoyed our time. The only thing that would make me go back however, was the octopus dish.

I love when they send the 50% off your bill text on random weekends. So far been here 4 times I always have the fish fried Lamb chops are really good too. And the backlava

So I met a friend for lunch here when they had a 50% special on the entire menu. She'd been but it was my first time. We both had lamb chops. I substituted the rice and broccoli that it usually comes with for a double side of fries. I do wish there was more variety in the sides but the fries were really good. Lamb chops were tender and juicy. The place is small but it's a cute little feel. They have hookah too for those that like it. Our waiter was really nice too. No complaints about her. A 20% gratuity is added which was fine with me. I'd go back for. Just don't like the parking situation. Valet is $30 so I parked across the street and just walked over.

OK, first I'm gonna start by saying I usually stay away from the grass wall warriors but my friend invited me out for 404day so I decided to give it a try. We were overcharged the full amount after showing our half off text code and they refused to refund or reimburse us. The food was straight and the drinks were good. Also, why is water $4? I asked for a glass and got a bottle, that's just insane for a restaurant lounge especially. The place is a little crammed as well but at least it's clean.

My fish was REALLY REALLY good, my husbands pasta was a bit bland and the shrimp were overcooked, the drinks were SKRONG! This is the perfect place to meet up with a friend to have cocktails to talk crap about your work week, do a little hookah, and listen to your favorite jams. My husband and I went here for a date night, and though it wasn't what we expected it was a really good vibe and would come back again. I will say the service was a bit slow but our server was nice and the owner was really friendly as well.

I went on Valentine's Day which is probably the main reason for the over-crowding. We were initially sat at a table between two other tables but the tables were so close it felt like we were on a date with the 4 ppl beside us. Idk if this was just due to it being Valentine's Day or if it's always set up in this manner. Luckily we were able to move to the bar and that was much more comfortable. We ordered drinks, amazing margaritas btw!, and had the shrimp basket and lemon pepper buffalo wings and a Caesar salad. The food came out pretty quickly given the crowd and everything was delicious. The music was creating a great vibe and the service was great. I'll definitely try it out again.

What a weird little place. This place is prime for a pros and cons list: Pros: food is great and fresh, service is great, hookah burned great, ambiance is quirky, vibe is distinctly Atlanta, and the bar is impressive in terms of look and variety. There are TVs everywhere and I love watching sports so that's fun too. I like the decorations a lot as it has an updated but older feel with character. Cons: this place is very, VERY overpriced. Salad, 5 shrimp, and rice for $41 is just unnecessary. I got metal detected upon walking in which was fine except that means there's a reason they're metal detecting on the way in which is not great. "Standard" valet was $20 to move my car maybe 5 feet. This place has no idea what to be. Is it an upscale seafood restaurant? A hookah lounge? A sports bar? A club? Yes to all. I'm not mad about it as the concept seems viable enough. It's just confusing and a bit of a rip. 4/5

I visited this place today. I had a hard time finding parking so I had to call. I get the info (valet only). I'm fine with that. I get sat in the back and Izzy is our server. She is nice. We asked for water but she didn't mention it is a $4 bottle until the check comes. I asked about the date special I had seen online (they don't tell you about it). We order oyster appetizer. It took so long. We are sitting by a window so we see her when she leaves from the back to the front. She is mingling with her coworkers up front. The oysters aren't at the table. Not sure why but she stayed up front while someone else brought the oysters back to us. The meals are brought out a short time later. The Turf in the Surf and Turf was tender but overcooked (ordered medium- received medium well). The lobster had no seasoning - no butter, no garlic. The lamb chops were tough and overcooked as well. It had no seasoning. I asked for salt and pepper but it did nothing to help the flavor. Then comes the check. The check is presented on the black thing in her hand. She goes over the check but conveniently does not scroll to the bottom. But I am a numbers person and 100 for the date night special plus 8 for the 2 waters does not make anything 140. So I told her she is moving too fast and asked her what the difference was. She says taxes. By this time I done moved that tab back to the receipt side (she had done moved to the tip screen). I scroll to the bottom. I asked her what the $20+ was for (taxes were like $8). My friend says gratuities. So now I am angry - not because I wasn't going to tip but because she left that out and tried to get me to do an ADDITIONAL tip! She says she was going to mention it. No you weren't. You were on the screen telling me to select a tip. So then she says it is on the menu. No. It is not. The menu is digital. So after I paid, she left and NEVER came back to the table. I looked on the site for this 20% on all tabs. No where to be found. I like to try new restaurants but I won't be back to this one. And I won't refer anyone. Because all she had to do was BE HONEST. Don't try to get over on people who visit your establishment. I also drove from Augusta just to visit...2 hour drive to get disappointed! Food: 2/5 | Service: 1/5 | Atmosphere: 4/5

I went here for my birthday, on a Thursday night and it wasn't busy at all. The vibes here were very date night-ish. (My birthday is also day before valentines so that could be why) The food tasted pretty good and I love the time I got to spend with my man here. One thing I would have to say is that, the tables are relatively small compared to the plate sizes, so we had to squeeze our plates onto the table. Also, when I asked if they do anything free for birthdays they mentioned they don't have any deserts right now but they could bring me a bottle of champagne, but in the end they ended up charging me for it. But all in all it was a pretty place to eat but I wouldn't go back.

Came here for a group dinner and they sat us at a table that couldn't even accommodate the entire party. Then, we moved tables and no one came to service us for 10 minutes. The restaurant at this point was still very empty. I ordered mussels and fries and was disappointed. The mussels were overcooked, fishy, and the sauce had minimal flavor. Parking was also very expensive. They have a small lot for $30 (but I heard they just through out a number and it changes sometimes). I'd just park at the lot across the street or behind the restaurant.

Celebrated my 45th bday here, this past Saturday, 11-25-2023. I made reservations for a party of 25 ppl for 6:30. My first impressions when I walked in was, I thought it was small, and thought I was a bit over-dressed, but hey it was my bday, so I dressed for MY NIGHT! The hostess at the front was very young and apparently didn't know much about the restaurant or valet parking info. We were seated in the very front b/c that's the area that they reserved for us. Our waitress, Roxy was attentive and very helpful...well at least to me. One of my guests said that she was rude to them. Also, one more thing to add, from the pics. I thought that this was more of a classy, grown n sexy spot...NOT! However, it was still nice! The waitresses had on booty shorts...not a good look to celebrate a grown n sexy bday...but hey..is what it is! I ordered fried shrimp as an appetizer, which was very tasty. For my entree' I ordered the lamb chops...VERY GOOD! So good, that my friend n her husband was picking at my leftover bones!! LMBO!! My husband initially ordered the seafood pasta, which he returned b/c he didn't know it was spicy and he said that it wasn't good AT ALL! His replacement order was shrimp pasta which he said was a much better choice! Be aware that parking is a bit confusing! We valet ($20) parked, but mostly everyone else parked in other areas close to the restaurant and just walked the short distance. All in all, we had a good time and enjoyed the food and drinks! P.S. I didn't receive my complimentary champagne that I was included, but not a big deal b/c I'm not a big drinker. Also, hookah was complimentary (which I did receive).

My Octopus experience was so so great. Christine took really great care of me. She was so kind and attentive to everything that I needed. I always admire such great service and I was so happy that I got to experience this at one of my favorite places! My Shrimp Cesar Salad was nice and fresh and my drinks were really tasty and strong! I honestly have no complaints. Thank you guys again for making my experience so great and I will definitely be back again!

Where do I begin? We called to ask about parking. They said they have valet. They failed to mention it is $20!!! There is no parking lot. We found street parking across the street. The waitress was playing with her hair as she was telling us how to get the menu on our phone. The QR code sends you a text instead of taking you to the website. That's a sneaky way of getting your phone number. They do not have Diet Coke, Coke, Zero, or even unsweetened tea. So we asked for water. The waitress returns with two bottles of water. As she was about to open a bottle I asked if there is a charge and she said yes $4. So no tap water, but $4 for bottled water that she failed to tell me ahead of time. Uh, no thanks!! I asked if they have broiled or grilled octopus. She said no. Then she said yes we have sautéd. So the waitress doesn't know the difference. At this point, my friend and I got up and left. Maybe the food is good but it wasn't worth staying to find out.

Came here on a Friday around 7 it wasn't too busy but started to pickup around 8. The space is cute, very picturesque and the food was very good. I had the blackened salmon Alfredo and the only thing was that the Alfredo sauce was watery and i had to add more seasoning. The other ick was that we were asked to cash out because we were at the only two top table and they had a reservation for the table. I didn't understand, but they gave us a complimentary shot and we were just sitting and talking by that time anyway. They also are the only place that i know that gives FREE HOOKAH every day if you're sitting at the bar. There are only about 10 seats. 1st come 1st serve!

Ace was our server and such a delight. Very attentive, very knowledgeable and friendly with impeccable service. Please be sure to ask for Ace. I will not be returning because I do not like establishments with surprise charges or bait and switch promotions. This establishment charges 20% of a pre discount subtotal as gratuity automatically to your bill without any pre warning or knowledge. They get you in the door with a 50% of tab promotion and then they charge 20% of gratuity based off your tab BEFORE the discount and add it to your bill. The gratuity is added No matter the number in your party. Valet parking is also $20.

The service and food were excellent. I was pleasantly surprised by the freshness and flavor of the dishes, especially considering the ambiance was just okay. Octopus Kitchen has a lounge-like atmosphere with sports playing on the TVs, and they check IDs at the door. I can see this being a great place to go after work or just a chill place to grab something to eat with some friends.

Cute date/chill spot with good hookah, music & food/drinks. I ordered the whole Mediterranean sea bass..came w/ basmati rice & a mixed green salad w/lemon caper on the side (which I didn't care for) it has an acquired taste. The fish was roasted/seasoned well and the lemon drop martini was perfectly made!

This was very disappointing. Being forced to buy off brand bottles of water was just the beginning of an under par experience The calamari should come with high blood pressure warning. The shrimp was over cooked and dry, Hoe that happens sitting in liquid is crazy. Over cooked crab. No crackers no wet wipes. Had to ask for extra napkins

This place was a lot better than expected. $20/$50 valet was a turn off to start things off. There is an ID check and a pat down, it was more club than restaurant overall. Once we were sat which was pretty quick(we had a reservation) we were greeted and service was very good the young lady waiting on us was very attentive... the menu doesn't have anything they just jumps out at you and it is a bit pricey so we played it conservative with calamari, wings and fried shrimp .. all of the food came out pretty fast and was good . This place was more of a lounge or hookah bar environment which wasn't bad we were just expecting more of restaurant.. the music was a strip club vibe... none of this is bad if that's what you want .. today I just wanted to eat.

Good service and good here. They offer hookah specials when you sit at the bar. The octopus roll is definitely recommend trying them. I had the salmon as for the butter sauce on top with rice is so good and asparagus which i was not a fan of. They have a cute hallway with flowers for your photo ops. They offer valet parking which seems to be limited the lot is tiny however there is a plaza across the street (IYKYK).

This is a cute spot.. but the parking is less than desirable.. went for 12 am dinner, and the place was packed so that's a good sign.. we didn't even end up getting dinner because the appetizers were decent sized.. the chicken and fries were good, and so was the soup and the potatoes.. my lemon drop was good but those cups are so small you barely get any of the drink so far the price they need to get a bigger cup..

Typical Atlanta lounge/restaurant environment. From the outside it looks small, but they actually have quite a few tables and a bar.. Parking is a bit tricky, they offer valet but we ended up parking across the street and walking. We went in on a Friday night and promptly seated at a small table. Our waitress was attentive and fast, the music was great and the atmosphere was pretty lively as a few tables around us were celebrating birthdays and a few tables were on dates. I took off a few points cause the drinks were not sweet and tasted like straight LICKA but in the long run weren't very strong. The food was just okay to me and a bit overpriced for alfredo. The hookah was hitting though!

My dinner party and I had a time at Octopus Kitchen. We celebrated my moms birthday. We came on a Saturday evening around 8:30 before the crowd. It was such a dope ambiance. I love the decor and the hospitality. Our waiter was amazing. He was very nice and accommodating. We ordered wings, calamari, fried shrimp which was served with fries, a fruit platter that was on the house (complimentary of yelp) and a free bottle of wine since it was a birthday celebration. The calamari was probably the best i've had in a long time and the fried shrimp were large and fresh. The fruit platter was beautifully prepared and everything was fresh. I can't wait to check them out for brunch. A must try.

Visited Octopus Kitchen for the first time to celebrate my cousin's birthday. The location is in a small lot so there is only valet parking if you do not rideshare or park on the street. Once you enter the restaurant after being checked by security, decor is very aesthetically pleasing with dripping flowers from the ceiling and flower walls. The vibe is loungey with music, hookah and bottle service but everyone is seated at tables. We had a large party so they were nicely accommodating as the restaurant is pretty small. They only split checks in two for large parties. The drinks were great, very strong but tasty. We only ordered the apps: fried calamari and lemon pepper wing plate and the portions were very generous but the taste left a bit to be desired. The wings were fried too hard and the calamari was flavorful but a bit on the gummy side. I would return for drinks but that's about it.

Pretty okay. Drinks were fine, i think it was a coconut margarita that i enjoyed so much. Pasta was bland.. had to ask for more seasoning. The octopus egg rolls were my absolute fav. Our waitress just seemed irritated all night like she didn't want to be there. Mediocre experience..

Came here with a friend to try it out since there's so much social media hype about it. We arrived at about 11:30pm on Friday. Valet was $20 even though the car was parked the small lot right outside the door. Entry was free and we sat at the bar. We got absolutely no service. No one even glanced at us. I saw a guy next me me with a hookah so i asked him how he got his hookah since no one had come over here. He said he works there and was kind enough to go grab someone to assist us. I ordered a dry martini. However the drink i was given was super sweet. I asked the bartender what he put in it. He said simple syrup, vodka and lemon juice. Thats a lemon drop, not a martini. I explained to him how to nake a martini but what he repoured tasted like all vermouth. I didn't finish my drink. The only pro was the music was good otherwise, this is just another overhyped place from social media.

The doorman is quite awful. Spent time here and all the staff was great but the bait you with valet parking. They told me ten dollars and pay afterwards and it was double. When I said that's not what I was told he said he was going to call the police. I don't know about you... but I gotta go and never come back. Patronize at your peril but I will not recommend if you drive here.

We sat for 15 mins at our table with no one greeting us or taking orders. Had multiple servers walk past us. Disappointed !!

Valet Parking Only however there is a lot in the rear of the plaza and you walk around to the entrance. Security at entry Staff was really friendly. The decor was super cute. Open seating for Thursday. Price point for the area is on target but the drinks and food were good. The drinks were very good quality and I appreciate the variety of options. $16 per drink price point. I had the calamari. It's like my chicken fingers at a restaurant and they were good. The potatoes that were served with were not great with the crispy calamari so I stole some of my friends fries. The coconut shrimp needed a bit more seasoning but the shrimp was juicy! Average bill $50 per person with tip. Three drinks and a food item then you are pushing $100. Definitely recommend for drinks. Cheers.

By far the worst food I have had in atlanta, food lacked flavor and my rice was very undercooked and hard. Would not recommend or return. My waiter also swiped my change after already getting 20 % already included in my tab.

Ordered the lamb chops , 2 drinks and a hookah which was free . A few minutes after I started to feel sick. By the time I got home it was over . Food poisoning or something. Had me up ALL night throwing up and still not well. Never have I felt that way in my life .

Pros- service, hookah and the vibe. I went there for fight night to catch the boxing game and it was a great place to watch. The people there were cool. Cons- the food. Everything was almost bland. Looked nice but didn't yeasts great. You have to pay for valet as there isn't free parking at the premises.

So ridiculous they make you wait outside it's 20 degrees in Atlanta right now I've never been to a restaurant where they make you wait outside for the hostess to be able to seat you

Restaurant is so well decorated with flowers hanging everywhere! reminds me a bit of The Select. Staff is really friendly and quick with the service! We had the wine cooked mussels - some of the best mussels i've ever had! And rhetorical oven roasted mediterranean sea bass. Can't go wrong with the crab soup either...legitimate crab!
