Wonderful meal, great service, nice cocktails. I had the best pork chop I had ever had and everyone&rsquo;s meal was delicious. Nice atmosphere and wonderful service.

Blue Ridge Grill

Canoe is an old restaurant that survived Atlanta. We ate here about 5 times in the past few years (we didn&#39;t live in Atlanta) and every time it felt great. The restaurant is located next to the beautiful Chatahuchi River. This is Atlanta&#39;s best outdoor dining spot in the warm months. Chefs changed waves, but Canoe never disappointed.

Cozy and unpretentious atmosphere; nice wine list - not overblown. Apparently a favorite with locals. Staff well trained to high standards.. how pleasant was that since poor service can totally ruin a fine dining experience. A vmixed crowd with several tables of businessmen - it was a Wednesday night, older couples who evidently were locals and several groups of women. A few couples. The round booths were very nice for quiet conversation. There are several areas separated by half walls and glass. Jackets no tie looks right on for attire. We will return absolutely...

Any reason is a good reason to come here. Lunch time you see your movers and shakers doing business here. Evenings you see families celebrating and couples bonding over great food and lodge-ish ambience. Love this place.

I very nice dining experience on the North side of town. The restaurant offers valet parking, which is good because there is very little parking space. We were seated quickly (reservations) and greeted by wait staff with warm breads and specials for the day. Most started with the Blue Ridge Grill Salad which has a nice mix of flavors with the poached pears, blue cheese, toasted pecans, and vinaigrette. Our table tried a mix of dinner items (Salmon, Chicken, and Beef) as well as table sides (spinach, whipped potatoes, and corn souffl&eacute;). The Corn Souffl&eacute; could have been a desert. We also tried several deserts - the pecan pie and strawberry cobbler. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding.

Pros: When I arrived, the valet line was not too long. I let the valet cut in front of me to let him get to another guest departing and he was eager to get to me and my guest. He appreciated the gesture and instantly kept my car up front because of it. My reservation was for 8:00pm. I arrived at 715, and was still seated instantly. No issues or worries at all. the waiter arrived right away, and knew my last name. The waiter was very intuitive and skilled. He knew it was my first time so he thoroughly went thru the menu. I ordered the seared Salmon ($28 or so). My guest ordered Steak($58). Pinot Grigio to drink. (8 bucks per glass) The food was prompt, the salmon was seared just right. I tried my guests&#39; steak, and it was also amazing. Carrots came with the salmon. (Not too firm, not too soft. ) Grilled onions came with the steak. The waiter also brought us a corn type of casserole on the house. I also shared chocolate cake with ice cream and warm chocolate sauce on the inside. Now... For a very few cons... My only wish is that more came with the meal. I probably spent about 120 overall and had it not been for the corn casserole as a side... I may have still been hungry. Besides that, I have no complaints. Four stars instead of 5.

I have been here twice and both times the food was amazing! The menu changes often, but everything we had was amazing. The beet salad we had was scrumptious.

The Optimist is really great. I have passed by it countless times and it is always on the waiting list. Not only is the environment and atmosphere good, but every dish tastes great, especially the cocktails. You need to make a reservation in advance, and the location and ordering are professional. It is recommended to order a high stool seat, which is more comfortable. I will come back next time to try all the dishes!
