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.

A birthday dinner that was underwhelming. We waited about 10 min before our server came to our table. We ordered onion soup which was delicious but tepid in fact every item was tepid. I had to return my salmon as it was undercooked and hubby ordered the rabbit which was tasteless. The desserts were good just not great. The value was not worth the price overall.

The food was lacking in character and taste. The noise level was also high, making it difficult to talk and hear the conversation at the table. Price was ok. I won't be back.

We were seated in the covered patio, where we were able to have an amazing view of the river. It was such a great evening. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-tier! I’m excited to visit again!

Crab bisque was cold, the honey buns were too “bready” and generic, and the duck beef burgers were overcooked. The truffle fries, scones and wine were great however. Our server was astute and engaging.
