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.

This was my best dining experience in ATL. I had the kangaroo which was delicious and Clayton was very attentive and excellent. Highly recommend dining here.

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.

Everything about Canoe was outstanding…except for the noise level. Sadly, my husband and I were seated next to a table of eight extremely loud people (4 couples) who made it nearly impossible for us to have a conversation. Finally, when they left, the noise level was just fine and we were able to enjoy our dessert.

Two out of four orders were poor. Tacos were cold on the inside and had to be sent back. Food allergy on another order was not honored

Lunch at Canoe is always a nice experience. The view of the beautiful garden by the river is unique and unsurpassed in Atlanta. The service is impeccable, and all menu selections are fresh and delicious. My favorite is the salmon and goat cheese appetizer, which is large enough is served as an entree.
