The Argonaut - Atlanta (GA)

5 /5 Kwak Family: Excellent local or neighborhood seafood restaurant with good food, enthusiastic attendees, and a fun and casual ambiance! The main dishes were quite good and relatively inexpensive. The papaya salad was a bit blend - additional (squeezed) lemon juice and salt made it much better. A bit more fish sauce and spiciness would have made it even better! Will certainly come again when we are in town.

5 /5 Kei B: To start Piotr,our bartender definitely set the tone getting us right with the best drinks we had in a long time. Not only was he well knowledgeable about the menu. But was able to make us drinks based on what we liked. It was my first time here but the rest of my crew seemed to be regulars . His interaction with the bar crowd was good and filled with good energy. The food was good including the sweet potato cheesecake. Which is seasonal. I enjoy the smash burger, but not so much the jerk chicken tacos . When I return I will try the pan -seared dumplings

5 /5 Pamela Lawrence: We had a great time at the Argonaut. The building is neat, the staff catered to our large party well, the food was delish! My personal faves were the Maiden Voyage which was a peach alcoholic beverage, Aloha Poke Bowl, the French fries (Im a French fry girl) and the peach cobbler cheesecake. The Dubai chocolate mousse cake was also delicious. The ceviche was okay. I didnt personally like the strawberry shortcake. I was too full to try anything else, but everyone loved their meals. A smash burger was eaten up rather quickly, my daughter enjoyed her shrimp tacos, my son ate up the seared tuna, everyone at the table enjoyed the shrimp cocktail, and the youngest of the bunch truly enjoyed those hush puppies. I watched a young thing devour a large fish sandwich and all side Cesar salads were eaten. The large Cesar salad wasnt cut up and difficult to eat as was said by another party member. But all in Id go back to try some more and enjoy some favs again!

4 /5 EKB: Food was decent. We recommend the hush puppies , pork belly bites, and the lobster mac. Everything had was gooooooood but the aforementioned dishes were the ones that really stood out. Staff as lovely and friendly. We came to celebrate my husbands birthday, I probably wouldve picked a more up-scale place as the argonaut felt fairly casual (though we also dined on a Tuesday evening). Overall we enjoyed our experience, but my husband probably enjoyed the food more than I - I personally thought everything was goooooood but not AMAZING. Price was decent. We left spending $200 for two but thats with a bottle of wine purchased, a burger, and SEVERAL raw bar and small plates.

5 /5 LaKendra Soublet: Came in on a random Wednesday after work and sat at the bar with my friend and had an amazing service experience with Colton. Colton truly took care of us and made our first time experience very special. Colton also keeps a very clean bar. The restaurant is very clean, the chef came out and greeted us and spent a few minutes with us at the bar which was a nice touch. Loved the open oyster counter/bar, the open kitchen. Tried multiple things: Hush puppies were nice and hot and fresh, my takeaway is that the sauce was a wee bit spicy. The tuna and yellowtail was delicious. The ceviche fell flat for me, the fish used probably was not the best, had a weird texture l, too much fruit was used but lacked salt, I think the execution should be revisited. The biggest disappointment was the lobster roll, it was minced lobster meat, no salt or aioli on the bread or anything. Lobster roll was dry and bland, and for the price point you would love to actually see pieces or chunks of lobster meat, definitely should revisit that dish and make it better for sure. All in all, we will return. Hats off to Colton, after some time the bar area got extremely busy and he handled it so well by himself and still maintained his professionalism and service standards but you could see a lack of teamwork, kitchen calling for hands and Colton needing some help and fellow teammates just standing around.
