Lure

This restaurant is transitioning to more of a tapas place, but the food is still consistently delicious. Our server was prompt, knowledgeable, and friendly.

Lure was a great stop after a long day of travel to get to Atlanta. We (party of 2) arrived around 8 pm and unknowingly over-stayed our welcome given they close at 9 pm on weeknights. Staff was great, very accommodating, and attentive to our needs. Service was fast, and friendly and they made us feel very welcome even though we stayed past close (again not realizing). Thank you to the staff for your outstanding service.

Refined cocktails, food and service. I'd been here before and was meeting an old buddy here for some dinner and drinks. I arrived at the beginning of the shift and my friends were unable to make it. So, the service was very attentive. Beyond that, the server was engaging and personable. That really makes the service worth a little more. Additionally, managers stopped by to check on me now and again. The dining room has a natural feel with lots of wood and windows. It's relaxing and there's some space between tables. The porch feels open and airy. The "gone with the wind" specialty old fashioned was good. It leaned toward crafted cocktails with a good blend of bitter and sweet. It had fig syrup and a small fig instead of a cherry. The scallop appetizer was perfectly seared. I had a bit of char on the outside with a smooth, tender center and no grit. Yay. My main meal was grilled redfish on a Mediterranean salsa. It was like a bed of slightly spicy chimichurri. It had a side of some uncommon greens. Also, a ramekin of kumquat in a spicy syrup that didn't work for me. The fish was tender, hot and tasty. The salsa was a little bold upfront but blended well as the meal continued. The fries were better than most. They had that darker skin that offers a more roasted taste. The strawberry sorbet was a nice dairy-free option and a generous portion. At $125 with tip, it's a bit pricey here but I'll be back. Dietary restrictions: They were good about accommodating my allergens on every dish. I had a gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free meal without concerns. Sorbet was a nice dessert option for the dairy-free people.

I was surprised it wasn’t more packed on a Friday night. The food was delicious, the service was amazing, the atmosphere was very sophisticated. My only complaint was the people behind us were very loud and obnoxious, not the restaurants fault but it was even distracting at times which was unfortunate

If you like being finessed this is the place to be!!! Firstly, going to a seafood restaurant in a landlocked city should’ve been my first red flag, that’s on me. Secondly, $20 parking in the lot next to it (tried to charge my partner $40 when he pulled up 5 minutes later, pathetic) with no other street parking available should’ve been my last red flag and a sign for me to go home. But alas, they charge you if you cancel your reservation, so here we are. Onto the food- I’m not sure who gassed Atlanta’s head up to charge extra for vibes, but they need to be in prison. I’m so tired of paying for ambience in a mediocre venue. The oysters were small and pathetic (mind you, $3.60 PER OYSTER). The charbroiled oysters was the bigger joke ($17 for F O U R oysters…..). The portion of the swordfish was an abomination for the price. The taste was average at best (and I’m really trying to be nice here). The service was just not it either. I try to give the benefit of the doubt with busy Saturdays but there was no attention to detail, no checking on us, nothing. My friend asked for ketchup 3 times and it was never brought to the table. I actually wanted to order another drink because the first one was decent (overpriced, but expected). But from the time she put the food out to all of us finishing the food, she was no where to be seen. I really try to see the best in this city but this experience solidified something I’ve always thought in the back of my head: ATLANTA IS NOT A FOODIE SPOT AND IS THE LAND OF THE SCAM!!! Save your money and go to a McDonalds. You’d get 100x better service and food there compared to here. Parking: Expensive parking, lot will charge you different amounts depending on your car.

Great food and service

Went here with some friends and family and absolutely loved it!

The sea bass wasn't the best and the fries were less than what I would have expected, but the rest of the food (appetizers mainly) were really great.
