About this restaurant

Great for scenic views
Good for special occasions
Charming

Canoe is located in Atlanta's historic Vinings area on the Chattahoochee River where Buckhead meets Vinings.
Canoe's beautiful historic riverside setting makes it the perfect spot for weddings, receptions and private celebrations.
Its original cuisine and distinctive design have already been featured in Bon Appetit, Food And Wine, Gourmet, The Wine Spectator and The New York Times. Canoe, recipient of the prestigious Mobil 4 Star Award, was also selected as one of the "Best New Restaurants" in the country by the James Beard Foundation.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Matthew Basford

From the OpenTable editors: At this iconic restaurant located on the banks of the Chattahoochee River, the setting is as spectacular as the elegant farm-to-table fare. Grab a seat in the dining room with wooden ceilings resembling canoes and an open kitchen to watch executive chef Matthew Basford whip up elegant American dishes like slow-braised rabbit with mushroom stroganoff. Or linger with a glass of wine from the award-winning list on the outdoor patio for prime river and garden views.

The restaurant setting is amazing. Sited on the river with a garden full of flowers, birds, and charming paths. It’s a beautiful location that is idyllic. Unfortunately the food is just ok. We were a party of three. I had the Chicken Cobb Salad. The salad part was delicious. But the chicken was so dry, tough, and tasteless that I didn’t eat it. I had to ask for dressing because it was forgotten. Another person ordered the hamburger. It was large with beautiful lettuce, tomato, onion on the side. It was so overcooked that less than half was eaten. The third person ordered the daily special of Halibut. A nice large piece of fish with a semi sweet citrus sauce. It was good. The service was excellent. We had a waiter and a waiter in training so we really lucked out in service. Impeccable service. The takeaway from our experience was fair. The setting is beautiful. Excellent service. Food mediocre.

Dinner was excellent. Fantastic suggestions, one of which has been on the menu since Canoe was founded almost 30 years ago and we saw why! Services was stellar and was pleasantly surprised at the overall experience.

The outdoor area of this restaurant is stunning! The bread basket was delicious. The menu is limited in options with unusual choices like kangaroo making up some of it so be prepared for that. The service was friendly if slow which was fine as we were socializing, but my fish entree was barely warm by the time it got to the table and not very flavorful. The salmon appetizer and watermelon salad were both something I could have made at home, not the showstoppers they were supposed to be. The bread on the burger buns on two other meals was too hard to even eat which was very odd but it must also have been sitting.

It is a classy restaurant with a caring and attentive staff. Its diverse menu provides many choices. The presence of the river nearby is a welcome addition to the ambience.
