Fontaine's devotes itself to creative ways with oysters. We think unadorned raw is best, with a splash of lemon, but there are variations of standard preparations. However, we object to cheeses on our Rockefeller, as cheese and shellfish… Read Full Editorial
My Review by buddyg682472798 via Citysearch on 4/15/2015
Fontaines has the most RUDE female bartender I have ever encountered. Shoulder length curly hair. Always has a scowl on her face. ALWAYS check your bill - she added on to mine. The two friends I was with thought she was awful as well. …
Go during the day. by HunterPearson via Citysearch on 4/19/2010
It's the Hand-in-Hand part 2 in the heart of Virginia Highland. Walk in after 5pm and expect this oyster house to be filled with the still-thinks-they're-in-college popped collar set. \r

But something funny happens in the day time.…
Fresh Oysters, Shrimp and Clams by RoseCzar via Citysearch on 3/16/2010
Groupon purchase finally got me in this restaurant. Passed so many times while eating at Murphy's or .shopping at Chico's. I was really satisfied with the GREAT Oysters baked Rockerfeller, Shrimp Scampi and Parmesan crusted oysters. …
good seafood by Meredith P via Insider Pages on 8/19/2009
Fontaine's is a fun place to go. They have good seafood. Great po-boys. The patio out back is fun and great in nice weather. The muffalatta looked good too!
Good bar by Sally L via Insider Pages on 7/30/2009
I've only come here for the bar, but I've enjoyed it. It's a very narrow space, so it's hard to move around, but if you can get out ont he back patio then it's great.
Sick from Oysters by ginny318 via Citysearch on 4/26/2009
I tried this restaurant for the $5 Oyster special and got sick from this place. The location is great, but they are not keeping this place clean. The bathroom was dirty and the patio was not clean. Servers could also use more training. …
Cheap beer and oysters and chill spot! by evilmagicmarker via Citysearch on 1/2/2009
Fontaine was a bar that my boyfriend and I stumbled upon on one of our "let's just get out of the house" escapades. I admit, it was a nice find. Both my boyfriend and I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. He had the chicken fingers and…
Great Oyster Rockerfellers!! by azianbrat via Citysearch on 1/1/2009
Went there for a pre-Christmas dinner and even though the service was a bit slow the food more than made up for it. I highley recommend the oyster rockerfeller. Perfect amount of cheese and fresh spinach on plump oysters. And the lobster…
Expected great food, but what about the service? by funspot via Citysearch on 12/2/2008
My girlfriend and I visited Fontaines last Saturday and were treated to the usual great food and drink. While not regulars at Fontaines we have noticed a lowering of the service levels. We would like to congratulate the young lady…
Delicious, fresh seafood by sam g via Insider Pages on 11/24/2008
As a native New Orleanian, I miss Gulf Coast seafood so much. And along came Fontaine's... I've never eaten at a good New Orleans restaurant outside of NO, so I was suspicious but Fontaine's does not disappoint. They get their seafood…
This place rocks by mld365 via Citysearch on 9/8/2008
The oysters are incredible plus they have a cool scene. I love the happy hour and late night specials! Not to mention at lunch, you can really get in and out.
Raw Bar by grgagrl via Citysearch on 6/30/2008
The food is very good, but the bar is frequently crowded. The fresh oysters are excellent, the fried seafood PoBoys are not as good as other places. The margaritas are horrible, they use very cheap mix.
great laid-back bar by bgorham via Citysearch on 1/5/2008
This was a great recent find for me. It has a cozy pub feel and I can only imagine how fantastic the back patio is in the warmer months. The service staff was very helpful and attentive. The menu is fairly standard, but the food itself…
Service & Seafood With A Smile!!! by atlbabe via Citysearch on 8/17/2007
We LOVE Fontaine's and dine there often due to the outstanding and attentive service and tasty food. The food doesn't disappoint, including various cajun dishes and specials throughout the week. They've even added the famous "steamhouse…
Grumpy bartender, great atmosphere by sweepea via Citysearch on 8/6/2007
If you go (and I don't recommend it), don't sit at the bar. My friend and I went on a Sunday afternoon after laying by a pool all day and wanted a refreshing cocktail before heading home for the evening. The bartender was as rude as…
Horrible service overshadows good food by unc_annie via Citysearch on 6/30/2007
After hearing rave reviews for months, we finally decided to check it out. Unfortunately, we left bitter and disatisfied with no desire to visit again.\r

The food was very good but completely overshadowed by the rude, obnoxious service.…
Fantastic Oysters and Always Fun by ansleyma via Citysearch on 2/20/2007
One of the city's best casual places to down a few oysters and a cold drink. Very authentic, great atmosphere (anything but chain or concept restaurant like). Staff is great, as evidenced by the number of folks we met who described…
Just For Hangin Out and Downing A Few by mandieluck via Citysearch on 2/19/2007
I tried Fontaine's late on a Friday night. It was packed packed packed! Shoulder to shoulder, butt to butt, breasts to breasts when you walked in... Everyone was friendly, smiling and of course, carrying atleast one drink in thier hands.…
I LOVE THIS PLACE! by art__vandalay via Citysearch on 2/14/2007
Words can't do this place justice! I dine at Fontaine's regularly, and I am never disappointed. Table service is pleasant, friendly, fast, and attentive. The food is fantastic (especially the hushpuppies, bisque, & steampot). The…
Oyster's, Cold Beer & "Fontaine's" ! by jaymaygm via Citysearch on 9/15/2006
Fontaine's in The Highlands has been around for years, and I don't know why we don't do lunch there more often. It's the sister restaurant to the "Steamhouse Lounge" in Buckhead, but has a totally different vibe. It's like being in some…
