10/10 Highly recommend! My husband and I have been coming here for years for our anniversary and birthdays. Raw oysters are delish and fresh! The steamed are phenomenal!

My first time ever trying oysters was a great experience and delicious. And let me not forget the lobster bisque soup,
I always order an extra one to take home. The staff greets you as soon as you walk in. The time for wait is literally 2 minutes or less, and the bar is always open.

The freshly baked oysters were absolutely delicious! Raw oysters were ok. The salad was good, though a bit heavy on the dressing. The lobster mac and cheese was tasty, and the fried fish was decent. The pasta was outstanding. For dessert, I highly recommend the key lime pie – it’s a must-try! The service was excellent, as always. This is our third time dining at this restaurant, and we’ll definitely be back for more.

This is now one of my top five favorite Oyster house. I was taking away when my guests and I were taken to the outside area for dining: the wrap around patio gave it a New Orleans vibe. We went on a windy day however I did take notice of the ceiling fans that were located outside for hotter days. Oysters were a 10/10 especially with the butter garlic sauce. I ordered the Rockefeller and Nola oysters; my boyfriend favorite were the crab & bacon oysters he also ordered the catfish plate, in which he said it was too big! ( not sure if that’s an issue for some but possibly enough for 2 to enjoy) drinks were made to perfection. I will be going back very soon. It’s definitely a vibe even if you decide to just enjoy drinks the atmosphere is welcoming. Great for date night or lunch just GO!

My lobster roll was 6 inches of tastelessness. Fries were good, though.
Our drinks were phenomenal. They were good and strong. I don’t remember the name of it, but we asked the waiter which cocktail was the most popular. We chose the one she recommended.
We sat outside on the balcony. Beautiful view of the live plants they have lining the railing.
I forgot our waiter’s name, but she was great!
I am willing to try another entrée off the menu, though, despite what I said about the tasteless 6-inch lobster roll.

Great service with knowledgeable staff and quality food. Good shareables and nice ambience for date night. My wife and I love this place and always have to split an oyster platter and a lobster roll. So nice to have a place like this with quality seafood in Atlanta!

Table for 3 for lunch
We initially stopped in just to take a look at the menu. After reviewing it, we spotted a few items that caught our attention and decided, “Yeah, let’s grab lunch here.” As we made our way to the host stand, a gentleman appeared from around the corner—not particularly warm or welcoming. I let him know we were a party of three and would like to sit outside. He grabbed three menus and guided us to the back patio. The outdoor seating area gave off a definite New Orleans vibe—inviting and relaxed. Shortly after, our server approached and asked if we’d dined there before. When we said it was our first time, she let us know she’d give us a few extra minutes to look over the menu, which we appreciated.
Wifey ordered one of her old favorites, a Blue Moon. I went with “Juiced on Ponce,” and our friend ordered “A Night on Ponce”—both of our beers from 3 Taverns Brewery. We placed our food orders at the same time. Wifey chose the lobster roll with tater tots, while I went with the fried grouper Baja Tacos, also with tots—extra crispy.
The food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. Presentation was solid, and everything tasted good overall. In fact, it looked so good that another guest stopped by our table to ask what we had ordered and commented on how amazing it looked. My grouper could’ve been a little crispier, but the flavor was good. Wifey really enjoyed her lobster roll and the portion was pretty big. After we finished eating, we ordered another round of drinks and continued catching up. Overall, it was a positive first experience at Fontaine’s. I’d definitely return if I’m back in the area. 4 stars for the laid-back, New Orleans-style patio—it’s a great vibe. While our server wasn’t exactly warm and fuzzy (she came off a bit detached, maybe overwhelmed), it didn’t take away too much from the experience.

The menu is primarily cajun seafood, but with a few staples such as burgers, fries, etc. The food is great and my favorite dishes are the peel-n-eat shrimp, fried calamari and the blackened grouper po boy. I am not an oyster eater but my daughter and husband love them. I have never had bad service anytime I have gone. Parking is tight so rideshare or be prepared to take a few minutes to find parking. The ambiance is okay. I like sitting on the patio but the chairs are plastic and a little flimsy. If you partake in alcoholic beverages, they are moderately priced and pretty tasty. This will continue to be on our list as we go several times a year. Overall we continue to enjoy the restaurant and it’s consistent tasty food and service.

Ms. Sue was the most refreshing Bar manager I ever met in my life. She was so down to earth, you would’ve thought we were family, the food was also delicious the Oysters were so fresh. I had the Oyster sampler to taste every one they had, and it was the most delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant would definitely come again soon !

Wish I could give TEN stars! I went one day, food was so good, turned around and came back. The first visit was not a fluke, the second visit was equally pleasant (food and service)
The food was yummy, lobster mac n cheese was so flavorful, big portions of lobster. I would have wanted the Mac n cheese base sauce to be thicker, was little runny.
The oysters were great, tried the flight option. The crab/ bacon topped ones were my favorite.
My husband loved this lobster roll.
The calamari was fresh.
Can’t wait to come back
