The sushi rocks and the lobster is fabulous. Come ready to enjoy some of the best sushi. Generous portions and a great wine list. Very relaxing scene. We went for our anniversary and met Paul himself. I was surprised to find such a quiet place with 5 star food and 5 star service.

Keep in mind that Chef Paul was there last night. So, good stuff? Free valet, cozy ambience, wine list decent and the service was adequate. Food? Well the starter, lobster bisque was decent. Tasted very lobstery. The mains? That's where we get into the unimpressive part. The lamb was awful. Yeah, it was tender I guess but it was plopped in the middle of some mashed potatoes and a few brussel sprouts. Totally without merit. My friend had pork loin that looked ok I guess but it was served with macaroni and cheese and some sort of green. We definitely have a real problem with presentation since both dishes in appearance looked like cafeteria food. Then we have a problem with taste since I didn't even bother to finish my entree. It was boring to say the least. Man, if this type of stuff is the definition of "notable chef" then we really need to redefine that term because I do better than this on a bad night. While the check came to around $90 before tip which included two glasses of wine, two soups and two entrees, I thought that was way too much based on the quality of the food. I have no reason to ever go back to this place!

It could have just been because I went on a Monday night, but then again any good restaurant would have consistent food. From other reviews it appeared as if Chef Paul Albrecht was going to make a comeback with this fairly new restaurant but the food was not what I expected from the German chef. He is usually a genius when it comes to crafting food but the food at Paul's was nothing to brag about. Besides for the food, the atmosphere is nice, free valet parking (should leave a tip) and there is a band.

I first met the wonderful Paul Albrecht, a few years back with my parents, at the legendary Pano & Paul's, and it's still one of the best. Paul has finally come into his own, with this upscale bistro in Peachtree Hills, with his sons. It's really great to have another fine dining choice, so close to home. And of course, it was his fried lobster tail's for me. Without a doubt, my all time favorite entree anywhere in the city. He has added a nice sushi bar also. And much to our surprise, Greg Koenig, is the wine steward, having met him at Woodfire Grill. Yes it's an older, moneyed crowd, but the younger hip crowd, is coming on board also. Want excellent food, and have the money for it, Paul's is the place, and you can eat at the bar!

Loved: Tuna entree ($18), rainbow roll ($12), fried green tomatoes ($6). Other dishes ordered: Crabcakes and beef tataki both were good, but I did not love either. Notes: Wine ? off bottles on Sunday. Nice chefs touches like sushi roll and chocolate covered strawberries brought out in between courses by Chef Paul. Prefer atmosphere to Panos and Pauls and you can still get the signature tempura-battered lobster tail! Prices were not outrageous. My Bill: $37.32 my portion for a bunch of small plates/sushi and split entree, excluding the 1/2 off wine.
