About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for scenic views
  • 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.

    We attended for an anniversary dinner. The setting was very nice, but the food and service had some issues. Furthermore, I experienced illness after the meal and am disappointed the dinner caused illness on top of not meeting the expectations overall.

    Herschel was superb! There were two first timers amongst us. He provided an excellent overview of Canoe and its owners and beginnings. He explained the menu and provided great recommendations. Our location in a booth facing the river was perfect. Since was Derby Day. I enjoyed my Mint Julep.

    We were very disappointed by our date night dinner at Canoe. After reading rave reviews, and seeing many other tables presumably enjoy their night, we were hoping for a great meal. We started with the smoked salmon signature app, it was on a “potato cake” that was crunchy and difficult to cut, almost verging on stale. Their bread service certainly was stale. Sourdough was tough to break apart and not good. Our entrees were rabbit and lamb. The lamb was cooked correctly, but served cold. The rabbit was tough. The accoutrements for both were lackluster, from the tortellini that tasted like the ground to the risotto that was oddly sweet, we did not enjoy it. The other topping with the rabbit was bitter and very strange on the plate. For the ticket price we did not enjoy our evening at all. Service was fine, but this is a very loud setting as well, not perfect for an intimate date night at all. Unfortunately, it really all just fell short.
