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.

    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.

    Had an amazing Easter Sunday brunch. The food and the service were superb. After our meal we enjoyed the beautiful gardens and the views of our Hooch.

    Excellent service. Salmon cooked perfectly. Indulge on dessert then sat by the river to digest.

    It was our first time at Canoe and it did NOT disappoint! The drinks, apps, mains, and dessert were all delicious. Our server was super sweet, we took all her recommendations and had a great time! The bread basket service is also amazing — they have 4 different kinds of bread to choose from! We want to go next time for brunch so we can walk the grounds. Another thing I loved was that there was no “real” closing time — AKA they’re not rushing you through your meal even though it’s past 9:30. Very lovely ambience!
