    I have not been to Atlanta Fish Market in probably a decade and the quality has not declined at all. I got the Apple Kale Salad and Jumbo Fried Shrimp. My friend got the lobster scampi and shrimp cocktail. Both delicious. He did not enjoy the mocktail

    Or server . Not sure of her name. She wears white clear glasses. Hair was in a bun. She was wonderful ❤️ Our chef Malichi was superb. Wow!!! Food has never tasted this good. Great new managers as well. Very attention to detail. The manger with the beard got this restaurant back on track again.

    Caleb was phenomenal. Unobtrusive, but still very present. If you want to enjoy your meal without feeling rushed, come early. Coursing was perfect after we asked to slow it down. Value has slightly declined, but Umi will always be a favorite in Atlanta. A5 Wagyu Roll was a complete miss this time, but everything else was phenomenal. The Otoro Caviar is a must try!
