As we headed out tonight our destination for dinner was unknown. We tossed around idea's until it came to me... Seafood...
Goin' Coastal off N. Highland. I made a quick reservation and our path was laid.
We arrived a little early so our table was not immediately available. We found two seats at the end of the bar. At most bars this would not be the best option, for tonight I would not have wanted to sit anywhere else. With a clear view into the open kitchen and direct access to witness the care and attention Seth, owner and chef, gives to the dishes that leave his kitchen.
We started with the Grit and lump crab fritters, beautifully fried yet amazingly creamy inside.
Then I decided on the low country boil, with crab, shrimp, andoulle sausage, corn and potatoes. Totally hit the spot because its not often that I can get my seafood fix like that.
A major plus to our overall experience was the owner Seth Hendricks. His welcoming southern personality just explodes throughout the place. Even when an employee experienced a small crisis the entire team came together to keep the restaurant in balance and support her as needed. One fun moment was as we watched Food network in the background, there was a simple potato recipe that we felt was interesting. So what did Seth decide to do recreate while we were sitting there. It was actually very tasty and we came up with a couple of ideas on how to improve it.
Loves his yelp reviews, so its good to know how serious chefs take the feedback of their customers.
How else would you close out such an amazing meal, then with his new PECAN PIE Milk Shake... Yes, you read that right. OMG...
Hands down, I can now say that Goin' Coastal is best seafood spot in ATL!
Hope your next meal leaves you feeling this Bright!!!
Eat Bright!
