Rated best seafood in Atlanta!!!! Absolutely agree...

Rated best seafood in Atlanta!!!! Absolutely agree if you live anywhere near here or are visiting near Atlanta you must go!!! I took my wife here for her birthday, the host Jim graciously wished her a happy birthday as we walked in and stamped a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! On her menu, that we got to keep! We ate a lot and still wish we had more stomachs to fill up;)
They have complimentary rolls with melted butter and fleur de Sel on top, soft and airy delicious perfect rolls, the best I've ever had!

We had shared next the calamari, I don't order calamari normally because I don't like greasy rubber bands! However with the rave reviews of the restaurant and the garnishes listed on the menu(I Love Aji Amarillo) I had to try. The calamari was super tender on the inside with a crispy not greasy really well seasoned flour outside. Served with an Aji Amarillo creme fraiche sauce, toasted peanuts and fresh cilantro to garnish was great!
Next we enjoyed the octopus man was it good! It was glazed in a spiced honey which to me felt real southern and I loved how the salty caper remoulade, with the pickled carrots, and mustard seeds really brought the whole dish to a successful composition. They finished the tender glazed octopus with fresh parsley which added a very needed herbal fresh component to the strong and assertive flavors on the plate!
As far as entrees go I was extremely intrigued when I read "DUCK FAT POACHED SWORDFISH, short rib, kohlrabi, horseradish"
Honestly I hate swordfish, and I've tried it many times because I didn't think suck a magnificent looking creature could taste so bland and dry all the freaking time. But until tonight that has been an absolute truth, unfortunately!
