Atlanta oyster house staple. Excellent location for oysters. Long list of options that changes daily. Enjoyed the crab claws, duck, shrimp, and rolls. Patio and bar dining available as well. Not much parking except for street or the apartment complex across the street.

I came here on a date and it was nice! I'm pretty familiar with Kimball House, as I'm a part of an oyster community, but this was my first time visiting. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had West Coast oysters, which is veryyyy rare in the city of Atlanta. We sat at the bar for dinner (amazing and lovely bartender served us) and from what I remember the food was pretty good, but of course I came for the oysters, so that was the star of my show. I wish they still did happy hour, but will be back either way for the west coast oysters and the absolutely perfect shuck (definitely one of the best shucks Ive seen) and presentation (cute tincture bottle). I loved the dimly lit vibe in the evening. I'll be back.

The service is great and the ambiance is moody at night! the ingredients are very fresh for both drinks and dessert! I had the peach and basil smash and it came with a fresh slice of peach which was delicious! The drink was well balanced and you can see they make their own syrups and extracts. The peach pavlova dessert was okay. Fresh but I think it could use a revamp sans the "meringue" type casing. Overall will return to have dinner here and try it out!

We dined here for my friend's birthday and it didn't disappoint. It was my first time here and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It exceeded my expectations. We started off with an assortment of raw oysters (Pickering Pass, Matheson Wavelength, Mant's Landing, and Island Creek), the Hawaiian rolls, and the snapper crudo. The Mant's Landing and Matheson Wavelength were the table favorites. The snapper crudo was a fresh and delectable bite. The Hawaiian rolls were soft and melted in your mouth. We ordered cocktails and those took awhile to come out, but they were good and crafty. For entrees, we ordered a variety of food, which included: grilled trout, fish stew, and the pork chop. Additionally, we ordered Pommes Macaire. Everyone enjoyed their food. My grilled trout, along with the accompaniments were delicious. To finish the night, we ordered the Strawberry Mille Feuille and Blackberry Eclair. Most of us liked the Strawberry Mille Feuille the best. The food was 5/5; however, the service is where I had to deduct a star due to the slow service. Although, we were engaged in our conversation, we couldn't help but notice the length of time it took to receive certain items. The ambiance was nice and quaint. I look forward to dining again in the future at Kimball House!

Dinner on a Tuesday night at the Kimball house was wonderful. Loved the decor inside and overall ambience. My party enjoyed everything we ordered especially the entrees, they were all excellent and difficult to pick a favorite between the tenderloin, duck and snapper. The grilled oysters were a little different than the typical Parmesan garlic but they were amazing as well. I think the weakest dish for me was the fried shrimp. The pieces were small and seemed like a lot of breading. We didn't order dessert here and elected to walk over to butter & cream for dessert. Would definitely come back for dinner again!

This is such a chic spot with many seafood options set in a remodeled older house in Decatur. Very upscale, gourmet options and the price tag that fits it. They have lots of oyster options (raw, grilled, etc), beef tartare which was raved about but we didn't get, snapper tartare (essentially snapper sushi with yummy citrus? Sauce and micro green/kumquat citrus topping), amongst other yummy starters. The cocktails are delish! My partner got the whiskey smash which springy didn't taste like whiskey but instead more of a guava-tasting tropical drink (yummy)! We got the grilled oysters and snapper tartare for apps and enjoyed both of them. Next time, I'd want to try the beef tartare but the grilled oysters were excellent. I got the Mezzaluna (mushroom half moon ravioli) -- surrounded with many, different maroons and a wine-tasting mushroom sauce. Definitely get only if you love mushrooms, because there are many! It was yummy but id probably choose the Snapper entree item in the future. The snapper entree was perfectly cooked and tender, very well seasoned with melt in your mouth creamy risotto -- excellent. Parking is on the street, a very small lot (full), or a parking garage which you must pay ahead for. It was an elevated dining experience that I will come back for a fancy/celebratory dinner option!

Even though this restaurant is known for its oysters, the steaks were great and well prepared. Excellent au gratin but I wished there were more than one onion ring on the steak plate. The grilled oysters were delish with a dash of jalapeño. And while the scallops were cooked very well, they could have used a little bit of salt and pepper! However, the risotto it came with was divine. I was licking my plate! But do know that this place is loud and does not have parking. Not even a valet.

This was my first time at Kimball House, and I have nothing but good things to say about it. I had heard they had good oysters, and I went with my friend who loves oysters (I also love oysters.) We enjoyed an excellent dinner. We had four food items to share, 1 dessert to share, and then we each got 2 of our own drinks. For food we got the caviar and middlins, pork belly lettuce wraps, ceviche, and oysters. For the caviar and middlins, this was my first time trying caviar. I was eager to try it out, and honestly it wasn't too bad. It wasn't as fishy as I thought it was going to be. Had kind of a nice savory/salty sort of taste to it. It was served over what seemed to be kind of toasted grits with an egg yolk. The pairing of all the flavor and texture was unlike anything I've ever tasted or even seen before. It was quite good. The pork belly lettuce wraps were excellent. The pork belly had that Asian KBBQ taste due to the pork being marinated in some kimchi. Each bite was quite satisfying. The ceviche was good, but nothing too out of the ordinary. It was served with some house-made chips. The ceviche was good, but it tasted like your regular ceviche that you would have anywhere else. The oysters were EXCELLENT. We got 7 different types. My friend picked 4 and then we had the server recommend 3 other ones. We enjoyed every single one of them. They were fresh and shucked perfectly. These were definitely some of the best oysters I have ever had. All the food was crafted perfectly and tasted so good. For my drinks, I got the Winter Daisy and the Green Apple Daiquiri. I preferred the Winter Daisy as it didn't taste so strong like the daiquiri did. The Winter Daisy had a nice balance of flavor where I could taste the liquor but not be completely blind-sided by it. For dessert, we got the Vanilla Crème Brûlée. They had a few desserts to choose from, but we wanted to pick something we knew we were going to like. The Crème Brûlée was SO GOOD. The shell was perfectly crisp and the inside was so nice and creamy and warm. I can almost still taste it right now. Kimball House is an excellent place to go to for dinner. The vibe inside is very speakeasy meets industrial vibe. The bar is exquisite. Our server was also very knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent suggestions for us. The menu is pretty pricey, so I would most likely only come back for a more-so special occasion, but if someone had suggested wanting to come for just a Tuesday night dinner, I wouldn't say no. You won't be disappointed at Kimball House, I promise!

Great spot to come for special occasions! My husband and I came here on Sunday evening for my birthday dinner. We made a reservation which is a must especially on the weekends. We started with some drinks. I got the kiwi gimlet and my husband got a glass of wine. Their cocktail menu was awesome. Lots of interesting drinks. We got a few dishes to split. We started with the Hawaiian rolls. One order only comes with 1 roll. They are large but so good! We got 2 but honestly could have split 1 with all the other food we got. We also got the pommes macaire. They were sort of like potato and cheese logs with a chipotle Mayo dipping sauce - incredible! We got the tomato tart as well. Probably my least favorite thing but still good. And for our main entree we got the ribeye. The steak was amazing. So tender and flavorful and cooked just right. I loved that it came with a few veggies as well. The service was decent. Not overly nice, but nice enough. It's a pricey meal which is why I'd say save it for a special occasion or when you are just feeling fancy. They don't do anything for your birthday which is kind of a bummer. Overall a spot worth trying!
