i’ve always liked the atmosphere inside fontaine’s oyster bar as it reminds me of an old-timey beach bar where sailors might hang out. of course sailors don’t hang out there, as far as i am aware, but they do serve up some delicious seafood, and especially delicious oysters. the inside seating section is not very large, and the bar takes up most of the room.  it’s pretty dark inside even though they have nice windows opening up at the front of the restaurant.  i prefer to sit outside because it’s much more spacious, and even in the winter they heat the outside seating area. they recently got rid of their smoking policy, so there is no smoking in the bar at any time.  this makes therestaurantmuch cleaner and more kid friendly.  you can still tell it’s been smoked in for the past 30 or more years. on the weekends, fontaine’s oyster bar becomes a happening spot, and you can find a bar full of twenty somethings imbibing delicious cocktails.  if you haven’

what makes fontaine's cool to me is its approach. it's less like a seafoodrestaurantand more like a bar that serves seafood. that's largely due to it's dimly lit, hole in the wall atmosphere

old fave. this is my favorite new orleansrestaurantin atlanta following the death of huey's. a few things are hit or miss, but it's good overall, and the stuff that's good is really good. the seafood jambalaya is especially good.

on the fence.... ok, the service was great...the food was good...but some things scared me as a person in therestaurantbusiness...having a group of 4 guys standing over and talking to the guy shucking your fresh oysters while all were chain smoking and blowing it out directly over your food is a bit alarming. if there was a barrier or they were more than two feet away...maybe..or if i was wasted, then who cares...right? calamari was good but the dipping sauce was like a watery soup...i had the poboy and it had 2 shrimp and three small scallops...but was good. the other half had steamed crab and if you screwed that up then you shouldn't be in business...if it wasn't for the server we might of made it a quicker bite. would we go back...sure, but for drinks at the bar or on the deck...after all it is what it is...a bar!
