    We enjoyed everything about our meal and the restaurant. We let our server know that we were going to a show at the Fox and he made sure that we had plenty of time to walk to the show. The seabass and swordfish were both excellent and the oysters were fresh and delicious.

    Amazing food and excellent service. Got to taste a new fall menu item they’ve created—a smoky sweet chipotle sweet potato dish. Delicious! Key lime crème brûlée was absolutely stunning. I’ll be back for sure.

    The Trout was cooked perfectly and tasted wonderfully. The mashed potatoes and green beans, were seasoned well and very flavorful although a small portion. The roasted peach sundae was fabulous and could be shared, but keep it for yourself!

    Some of the best customer service I’ve experienced. The staff is very courteous & welcoming.my waitress Kacie was very professional & thoughtful acknowledging our anniversary from initial interaction. Even gifted us a complimentary champagne toast! The ambience is classy & intimate. Wait time is minimal to non existent. The manager (Rodney) is very personable visiting table to table ensuring customer’s experience is satisfactory. The blue crab dip & raspberry caipirinha cocktail were favorite. Highly recommend.

    Food was overpriced and mediocre. The dance club next-door made it hard to sit outside and have a conversation. Added bonus, nearly got a contact high from all the peripheral weed smoke every five minutes.

    This was my second time dining at Lure, and it was just as amazing as the first! We had the charbroiled oysters, cocktail shrimp, and the swordfish. Everything was so fresh and delicious, we didn’t have any leftovers and that’s how I like to leave a restaurant!!! Amazing service and will be returning!

    It was a mixed visit to Lure. We haven’t been there in a couple years after frequenting for their happy hour several times pre Covid. The restaurant itself is very nice. The menu is limited in variety. We had the catfish bites appetizer to start which was ok but needed a better dipping sauce as they were pretty flavorless by themselves. The crunchy batter was nice but needed something extra for pop. It took forever to get the starter and by that time we decided just to have the lobster Mac and cheese and one more drink. The lobster Mac was again just ok, nothing special. The chorizo was a nice add but the portion of lobster was lean. The Mac itself wasn’t special. I’m not sure if we will be back. We saw other entrees that looked good and maybe the slow kitchen was just a bad night.

    2nd time dining at Lure. First time was in 2021 and it was absolutely amazing. Second time was last week. Sadly the prices went way up and the service and the quality of food went way down. I asked the server about the “sea bass” on the menu. She said it was Chilean Sea Bass. When the food came out, I questioned the fish as it did not look or taste like the delicious Sea Bass that I love. The chef came to the table and explained that it was corvina which is a fish in the sea bass family; then said that server is new and didn’t know the menu. Needless to say I was quite disappointed especially for $42 a plate meal. There were no apologies or offers to “make it right”. The kale salad was delicious and the cocktails were really good. Upon leaving the manager asked us how it was, I didn’t want to create conflict, so I just said it was “fine”. In summary, I would come back for drinks and appetizers but I wouldn’t come back for entrees.

    The food was outstanding and the service was even better. We were visiting from Charleston and have never been to a restaurant with such good service. The hostess was very nice and our waitress was great. All of her recommendations were amazing - the Salmon and Ceviche were delicious. I highly recommend this place for anyone in Atlanta.

    Service was great. I had the char grilled oysters( they were ok), Blue Crab dip ( not good at all to me and chips were too salty), Kale salad was probably the best item and the trio dessert was ok too. This is my second visit to Lure. It’s just not worth returning to.

    Everything was as expected based on previous reviews. Lure is definitely a place that I would return. The house drinks were excellent, I had the spicy margarita and was one of the best that I ever had. Definitely go for the roasted oysters. One of my favorite meals to try was the lobster Mac and cheese. Very clean restaurant and the wait staff was very friendly.
