🦞Capt't Loui Decatur🦞 - an unforgettable seafood adventure! <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxdOPPbMwMs">https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxdOPPbMwMs</a>/ (@ServingLooksATL) From the moment I walked in, the Cajun spices and sizzling seafood set the stage for an incredible meal. The seafood boil is a must-try, featuring shrimp, colossal Maine lobster, crab legs, mussels, clams, and crawfish in a rich, spicy signature sauce or zesty Lemon Pepper sauce. Add sausage, corn, and potatoes for the full experience. Don't forget to indulge in desserts like beignets and funnel cake fries with ice cream, and sip on Red Bull cocktails for an extra kick!

Capt't Loui also offers fantastic M-F lunch specials. And here's the scoop: Tuesdays mean $1 Oyster Happy Hour – tag your oyster-loving friends!  Create your own boiler bag with lobster, shrimp, and more, all in your choice of sauce. Share this post with your foodie squad

Unleash the Nightmares: Freddy vs. Jason - Atlanta's Ultimate Halloween Showdown at Underground

My recent visit to Yao was like stepping into the heart of Bangkok's Yaowarat neighborhood.    <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxN_yQMrILH">https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxN_yQMrILH</a>/ (@ServingLooksATL) The restaurant's vibrant Thai-Chinese fusion truly captured the essence of this ancient community. From the chic atmosphere to the heated patio seating, the experience was exceptional.

I indulged in a feast of flavors, starting with the Fresh Summer Roll, a delightful combination of shrimp, kani kama, salad mix, and Thai basil with hoisin dipping sauce. The Crab Fried Rice was a standout, with its generous portion of succulent crab meat. But the real showstopper was the Crying Tiger ribeye steak, which left me craving for more. And dessert? The Yao Ice Cream was not just delicious but also an Instagram-worthy spectacle, arriving at the table with smoke billowing. To top it off, the signature cocktails, Mr. Yao and Mrs. Yao, perfectly complemented the entire dining experience. 

Yao: Where Gastronomy Meets Elegance in Dunwoody!

Had an absolute blast at the Italian festival last Sunday! From the mouthwatering food to the lively atmosphere, it was an unforgettable day. 😋🎉<a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxI5xKjrKq4">https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxI5xKjrKq4</a>/ (@ServingLooksATL) 

The NEW Grana location off Ashford Dunwoody Road was the perfect setting for this one-day celebration, and I couldn't get enough of the delicious Italian cuisine. 🍝🍷 And let's not forget the eating contests – I may have joined in on the fun! 🍕🤣

Live entertainment kept the party going, and I was blown away by @chefpatpascarella's cooking demos. 🍽️✨ Learning from the best was an incredible experience!

Plus, they even threw in 2 drinks tickets with every admission ticket, so I sipped and savored throughout the day. 🍹🥂

Already counting down the days until next year's festival! Who's joining me?

Divine experience at Divan! Dinner at the castle at Divan Restaurant in Midtown Atlanta was nothing short of a fairytale come to life! 👑✨ <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxGG_Y5Mk4Q">https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxGG_Y5Mk4Q</a>/ (@ServingLooksATL) The perfect backdrop for a romantic date night, this place whisked us away with its tantalizing Persian and Mediterranean cuisine. From the rich flavors of the Duck Leg Confit to the refreshing Divan Salad with Chicken Kabob, and the indulgent Garlic Shrimp with dill basmati rice – every bite was a journey for our taste buds. But the true showstopper was the Spice Roasted Double-Cut Lamb Rib Chops with spiced potatoes and garlic spinach, drizzled in sumac gastrique and mint oil. 

The ambiance was equally mesmerizing, whether sipping drinks on the rooftop with stunning city views or snuggled up on the heated patio. Our evening was made even more special by the warm hospitality of Liz, our server. A bottle of wine and shisha on the rooftop added a touch of luxury!
