    Canoe has been the restaurant where we have celebrated so many of our family special occasions over the years: a wedding, an engagement, a college graduation, a bridal party, and many birthdays. Each has been so memorable because of our selecting Canoe. This time it was for a birthday celebration. As always, our meals were delicious, and the setting so beautiful. Josh took excellent care of us and added to our enjoyment of the afternoon. We all loved every moment.

    We were celebrating my friend's birthday. It was a glorious day, our server was absolutely outstanding. I hope to be fortunate enough to have him again. Another group of us are coming for lunch Monday. The food and service are always good, but this server was terrific. Can't wait for the next time. Oh, and the food was great!

    first time bad experience at Canoe. Extremely loud . Couldnt hear the business convo. Servie was not good with a trainee but poor supervision. Never heard of staging the appetizers over two courses. Everyone was full by the time entrees came due to delays . When main entrees came it was cold .

    The food and service was excellent. Our waiter was knowledgeable of each food and wine selection which helped us to make decisions on what we wanted to order. Our waiter, Josh, was very attentive to our needs for refills etc. We ordered the cod which was tastefully prepared with spinach and creamy mashed potatoes! For dessert we had the Cracker Jack with creamy vanilla ice cream and topped with yummy caramel. Overall, a delicious meal and memorable experience. We’ll be back!

    Food, cocktails and service were excellent. We stopped at the bar for a cocktail before dinner, after a day of driving and shopping without eating. My wife and I were both hungry and thirsty. We arrived before the kitchen opened and no snacks were available. We understand that the kitchen is busy prepping for dinner service, but would suggest you consider offering small snack items that do not require significant kitchen prep. Thanks much and we’ll see you next time!

    The location of this restaurant on the banks of the Chattahoochee River and it's grounds are beautiful. The rustic interior is nice too and for lunch we sat by the large windows overlooking the river and gardens. It's a popular venue for garden weddings. The food is pricey and not flavorful, but the servings are large (too large?). I've had better at this price point. Vegetarian options are minimal and uninspiring (except for the carrot soup).

    Our server was stellar, thoughtful and so helpful for a large brunch bunch with a small child. The food was superb. The scones were the best we’ve had since high tea in Victoria B.C. The sound level was too much, and that made us long for warmer days with outdoor setting at your lovely restaurant. Unfortunately, our very late (2 p.m.) Sunday repast was very slow to arrive. That was our only real disappointment.

    A gourmet dining experience for an affordable price ($150 w/o tip for 2 people - appetizer, entree, wine, dessert). Knowledgeable and attentive service. Of course, one of the best parts is the walking grounds outside the restaurant along the bank of the Chattahoochee river. If you get a table with a view (like we did) you're in for a real treat. Food was adventurous but also appealing to someone with a more traditional palate.

    The Spring Rolls were good but almost big enough for an entree and the shrimp salad was enough for two people! I found the salad part to be bland and not crunchy at all and the shrimp were almost overcooked, or, at least the breading was. The service was good.

    We went for our 9th anniversary! The ambience was great. The service was tremendous and professional. The bread and wine selection was superb. My husband had the maple duck and it was the amazing, tender, and flavorful! I had the rabbit and it was meh….the cauliflower risotto was flavorful but the rabbit was dry. That was disappointing 😢

    Menu was not as diverse or robust as I would have expected from this restaurant; nothing really noteworthy, although the food was good. For instance, instead of just bacon and eggs, having bourbon bacon or maple bacon available would have kicked things up a notch. Pancakes with some fruit butters or whipped cream cheese or even goat cheese would have been nice. So, menu was a little blah. No standouts. Ambience and service were both charming; nice view of the river. Cocktails were good but again would have appreciated more variety.

    The meal was good. For the most part it was well prepared. However, in the past, the goat cheese didn’t smell like a barnyard, and on this trip it did. Many people do enjoy it. I, for one, do not. The waiter, while knowledgable about the menu, definitely overstepped with personal Liberty in the way that he spoke to me specifically. My party was not offended, neither was I. However being told that he was “flirting with me” was all too much. When it got to the end of the night, a person was sent over to clear the table and literally took the water glasses out of our hands. He began to say “OK. good night. Thanks for coming.” And proceed to clear the table while we were sitting there. When we discussed with the hosts what went on, they were as careless as could be. I was shocked by the treatment at what I thought was a very upscale dining venue. Quite honestly, no food quality will ever lure us back to this place. If want to be spoken to and treated like an annoyance, visit CANOE. If you like enjoying your meal, go somewhere else!

    We have always had a great experience at Canoe and while we haven't been in a while, we were really looking forward to the experience. I am very happy to report that the food, service and overall experience were as good or better than last time. We were celebrating a delayed Valentines Day and had a very enjoyable evening. We were seated promptly, with a table at the window looking out toward the river. The sound level in the restaurant was very energetic but did not negatively impact our dining experience. Well done, all around!

    Best restaurant in Vinings! You have to try the kangaroo. I wouldn’t recommend the oysters unless you like them tiny. We also got the snapper and the cod - both delicious but the tortellini that came with the cod was top notch delicious! For dessert, we tried the banana pie and carrot cake — seriously best carrot cake I’ve ever had at a restaurant! For drinks, my husband got the Manhattan, I got the Don’t Call Me Shirley - both delish! We finished everything off with a delicious 10 aged port wine - Graham Tawny - and felt extremely satisfied! The service was the best we’ve had in Atlanta in quite some time, very attentive & knowledgeable waitress, and courses were spaced out appropriately. Only complaint was the bus boy was a little too quick at times to take our plates, but other than that, everyone was very nice and great service!
