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.

    From the second we walked into the restaurant we were greeted with such warm hospitality and care. Everyone we spoke to was beyond personable and happy to answer any questions we had. Our server, Dalano, was beyond attentive, kind, affirmative, and knowledgeable about the menu. We went in on day one to the updated menu! We ordered the duck and the pork-chop and they were curated to perfection. This was our first time dining at a restaurant like this and thanks to canoe, it will not be our last.

    The service was impeccable. Amelia was a wonderful wait staff person. The food was good. We were seated between two table that talked very loudly and now we know all their business. Took away from our evening.

    My steak was nothing special and it was a bit hard to chew, but my fiancé’s lamb was phenomenal. The food over all was just nothing to special, at least my steak wasn’t. Over all had a great time there.

    I have been going to Canoe for over 20 year and it never disappoints. The menu is always fresh and full of amazing meals to choose from. A great break from a busy conevntion. Beautiful views of the Catahoochee River and a wonderful walkway along the water was wonderful.

    This was my first visit to Canoe. I was greeted warmly, and my reservation was attended to in a timely manner however, I was not pleased at all with the service I received from my waiter who never even ask if it was my first time there or not, and the food was just OK. Not to mention my waiter accidentally threw away my food that I was going to take home, but they were kindly enough to replace it so that was nice. I would definitely like to visit again. I don’t want my first experience to be a lasting experience the decor and the ambience of the restaurant was impressive.

    As always, the food and service were both exceptional. Our server was attentive but not in the way, the food was perfectly prepared and our evening was once again a perfect night at Canoe.
