{a-town eats: tin can fish house & oyster bar}

Hello Again!

As Jesse and I explore our new town I thought it might be nice to share some of the places we’ve been checking out. Most recently we visited Tin Can Fish House & Oyster Bar, this great little seafood joint in Sandy Springs. Jesse has recently joined the seafood wagon and is slowly trying all the good stuff he’s been missing out on all these years. I’ve been a fan for as long as I can remember and am very happy to have discovered this place to satisfy my cravings.




In summary:

Atmosphere: A little dark, but really warm and inviting. It was a slow Sunday evening, but I’m sure it picks up on other nights. The décor fits the theme without suffocating you with it. They have lots of nice pieces on the walls and a very open layout.

Service: Our server was fantastic! He brought out waters when he came over to greet us and checked on us often throughout our visit. We had arrived closer to closing time but neither he nor the rest of the staff ever made us feel like it was an inconvenience. Our food also arrived in an adequate amount of time and was nice and warm.

Food: The menu is pretty simple and straightforward with the perfect amount of options and variety. Jesse got a burger and I got their oysters rockerfella and mussels cooked in a traditional white sauce. The oysters were substantial and very delicious and there were more than enough mussels for one person in the half pound pot. The white sauce was also nice and light and complimented the mussels very well. Jesse ordered his burger medium but he thought it was a little more on the raw side. For dessert we had a brownie sundae which was decent but not quite what we were hoping for.

Moola: The prices are all pretty reasonable and you definitely get your money’s worth in respect to portion sizes.

Additional Notes: They have a pretty nice beer selection with good variety of domestic and craft brews. I do think the beer prices are a little high though. I was also disappointed that they advertised Abita beer, but only had one of their brews---I was kinda hoping to get a Purple Haze.

Even though it was slow, it was nice that they kept everyone spaced out so that we weren’t all cramped in the same section. This gave Jesse and me the opportunity to have a good intimate conversation.

Overall, we had a wonderful meal and will definitely be returning!
