“Atlanta’s star restaurateur Ford Fry dazzles Buckhead with his latest seafood palace, a dramatic three-story room featuring reclaimed woods in every shade, white-tiled columns, and a 20-seat marble bar. Savvy dishes skew both Asian (sashimi-like cobia crudo with trout roe, horseradish, and salt-and-vinegar chips) and European (smoky octopus with an Italian bean salad, cured tomato, and an aromatic sprinkling of oregano).”

“… Once in a blue moon, we’re simply blown away … the accolades have been pouring in from across the country. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Fry’s on fire.”

“Marble, brass, glitter and gloss all make for a clean, refined, classy yet unpretentious space … that fits its see-and-be-seen crowd.”

“You can walk into Buckhead’s St. Cecilia and simply be swept into its maelstrom … The clamor, the pace, the crowd’s unflappable confidence: This is the restaurant of the moment.”

“[The] octopus may vie for the coveted title of best cephalopod in the Southeast, so crunchy are its tentacles and tender-chewy its meat, so perfect its salad of cured tomatoes and mixed Italian beans. You know that feeling when you think about a dish and immediately want it again? Yep, that.”

“Certain restaurants embody a city’s culinary trends. Right now, ‘St. Cecilia is where you’ll find Atlanta.’”

“Fry is an artist at the top of his craft, and his newest offering is a magnum opus of sorts, a culmination of his unique brand of culinary nuance. If Fry’s career is a symphony, St. Cecilia is a bold finale to an exquisite first movement. And, we can’t wait for the rest of the concert.”
