    Best mussels in town. I do not say this lightly. We order mussels at just about very place we go and these are the best tasting. Service was great, The owners and chef were paying attention to the guests and were very personable. This was our second visit and it is now on our dining rotation as a go to for seafood.

    The food and service were outstanding! It’s a little tricky to find if you’ve never been to this part of Dunwoody Village and using gps to guide you. I’d recommend calling the restaurant ahead of time and getting directions (it’s inside a court yard). Highly recommend Message in a Bottle!!!
