    BeetleCat delivers an exceptional dining experience with standout dishes and stellar service. The schnitzel was perfectly crisp and flavorful, while the Moqueca seafood stew was rich, hearty, smoky, spicy and flavorful and brimming with fresh shellfish. Their fish and chips were golden, flaky, and satisfying—elevated comfort food done right. A surprising highlight was the coconut rice, subtly sweet and fragrant, pairing beautifully with the mains. Our server was not only attentive and responsive but also brought a fun, engaging energy that added to the evening. A top pick for seafood lovers in Atlanta.

    This place is absolutely beautiful! It’s just missing a view of the ocean. :) The oysters were amazing, and the mussels were my absolute favorite. I’d go back for them in a heartbeat!
