Best Date Night Restaurants in Smyrna

The food and service were impeccable! Best steak I have had in Atlanta since I have moved here back in 2016. Every detail in every dish was captured and the finished plate was delicious. Even my mother who never likes eating out loved everything she got here including the Lamb shank, she is difficult to please and you guys hit a home run! The cocktails were also amazing, loved Lady Sakura! 10 out of 10, we will definitely be back.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at Ray's On the River, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel special, with each person wishing us a happy anniversary. Tyler and Raul provided excellent table service - attentive, friendly, and professional. The atmosphere was elegant and romantic, with beautiful views of the river. The food was outstanding, with every dish expertly prepared and full of flavor. Overall, Ray's provided the perfect setting for our celebration, and we can't wait to return. Highly recommend for a special occasion.

Top notch service and quality. This place is so consistent. Food is fresh and of great quality, but the thing that stands out, is the impressive level of service. They are very professional, yet friendly. Never disappoints.

Canoe is hands down one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had in Atlanta. We came to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday, and the evening couldn’t have been more perfect. The atmosphere is just magical—warm, inviting, and the kind of place where you instantly feel at ease. The setting by the river is breathtaking and added such a special touch to the night. A huge shoutout to Patricia, our amazing waiter! She was everything you could hope for—attentive, super knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely fun. She kept us laughing all evening and made the entire experience feel so personal and memorable. The food was next-level amazing. Every dish was a work of art, both in how it looked and how it tasted. You can tell the chef puts so much heart and creativity into every bite. Honestly, it’s some of the best food we’ve ever had. Thank you, Canoe, for making my girlfriend’s birthday celebration so special. We’ll absolutely be back! If you’re looking for a place that delivers incredible food, amazing service, and an unforgettable vibe, this is it.

Everything was great other than my prime rib. That kitchen only knows how to serve it rare. I wanted medium and I got super well done. People were nice and service was fine. I guess just make sure you like your prime rib the way the kitchen will serve it.
