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.

Demica was The Most Professional, personable and delightful server, I have ever had at Canoe! We were celebrating my friend’s 81st birthday, and Demica made every effort to make our experience memorable 💥💫✨ I will always ask for him in the future. The crispy shrimp salad never ever disappoints,but the service is the most important! Demica has a great personality and wears a constant smile of pride in his work! Bravo Canoe🌟

The food was terrific, but the service not so. Our waiter never checked on us to order more drinks. The chocolate martini was one of the worst I have ever tasted.

The grilled salmon salad was wonderful. Also, the French toast, eggs and bacon are great as well. Bacon was crispy. We ordered the scones and cinnamon rolls before having brunch and enjoyed them. Our server was amazing.
