Canoe Atlanta Reviews
Outstanding, our table ordered Duck, Rabbit, and Salmon.
Everyone enjoyed their dishes. Bar drinks were enjoyed and the river view added to the experience. Table service was attentive.

This restaurant is so good, i tattooed the name of it on my arm while on Vacation in Atlanta. That's all you need to know.
Fabulous Gavin was such a wonderful host! And the food was
Fabulous Gavin was such a wonderful host! And the food was delish! And my nephew loved the seat turtles at the river front
Incredible service.
Great food and ambience. I would definitely attend this restaurant and visiting Atlanta.
It is rare to be able to rate a place 10's across the board
It is rare to be able to rate a place 10's across the board when you eat at a place as often as we eat here!!!! The list of organic wines is impressive!!
Great food, service and garden/river views
The food was delicious and the service was outstanding. The restaurant also offers beautiful garden and river views. I’ll definitely be coming back!
Great place for a celebratory dinner or a higher end brunch.
The setting is lovely and the service is great. I do wish there were a few more options on the menu. Definitely try the sticky buns and scones for brunch!
So are we in a huge canoe or no? If I drink enough, I'm
So are we in a huge canoe or no? If I drink enough, I'm going with YES! This spot has the whole enchanted forest with a river running through it vibe. Pretty neat. We got the oysters because oysters are vitamins. If they are on the menu, I am ordering them. They were perfectly cold and briny. The bread basket is a huge show here. Go for it and get one of each. There's servers are good about convincing you anyway! My main was a shrimp pasta dish that was creamy, garlicky, and inhaled way too fast. Canoe always gets it right. Well done!
Shout out to RYAN for outstanding service and hospitality
Shout out to RYAN for outstanding service and hospitality last Thursday night! Our group of 4 really enjoyed meeting him. Our conversations with Ryan added greatly to our overall great time at Canoe! Many thanks!
The staff was very passionate, welcoming, and thorough.
This establishment has a magical environment. Next to the Chattahoochee, it feels like a little escape from the city. I enjoy the seasonal menu, I can't wait to go back and try something new! We also enjoyed the peach cobbler...DIVINE!!
The outside bar on the side of the restaurant by the river
The outside bar on the side of the restaurant by the river is STUNNING (we visited in late June)! I would come back just for that! I had the trout with risotto, which I sent back because it was awful! However, the kangaroo, beef and duck burgers, smoked salmon appetizer, and charcuterie board with pate were all good. I'll admit this place is a little too eclectic for my taste, but you may like it...just don't get the trout! Service was efficient but unwelcoming and cold.
One of the Best Restaurants in Atlanta
Terrific dinner and drinks with friends. Dela and Betsy were our five star servers. They took great care of us. They were definitely a cut above! I had the trout special. My three guests had the cod. Everything was wonderful from start to finish. One of the best restaurants in Atlanta.
Consistent Delivery of A+ Quality
We recently visited Canoe to celebrate our friend's engagement. The service was wonderful - Mariah took excellent care of us :) The food was delicious, and I was pleased to see a variety of reasonably priced options on the menu. This is the 3rd time I have been to Canoe over the last 15 years, and the quality of the food and atmosphere has never failed to deliver. And to top it off, the riverside setting is serene. I would highly recommend a trip to Canoe, whether you are passing through the area or a long time Atlantan. It is a gem!
Great food and outstanding service
This is a beautiful place both inside and out. It was rainy and chilly outside but we were still able to enjoy looking at the river and the grounds from the ceiling to floor windows. Great food and atmosphere and outstanding service. Pricey, but well worth the cost.
Didn't Meet Expectations
8 of us went to dinner for my partners birthday. Nice ambience. A little loud as most restaurants seem to be. Our service was fairly good. Our waiter was very professional with a bit of humor. Dinner was slow to come out. As we talked at dinner, no one said "wow this is really good". One person said their pork chop was dry. My rabbit was okay, but nothing special. For the prices and reputation, I was definitely underwhelmed. I won't go back.
An experience not to miss
This was our first time at Canoe Restaurant but will definitely not be our last. Kersey was our server. A very knowledgeable server and quite the entertainer. Great views of the Chattahoochee River. Get a 4 toptable by the windows. Great food too! The chef is from Australia so we had Kangaroo and Lamb and were both very delicious.
Amazing taste, classy atmosphere & fantastic service!
Not my first time here and definitely will not be my last, absolutely love the food! Have moved every single item I’ve tried thus far from Smoked Salmon, Crispy Calamari, Oyster or Mercier Apple Salad to the best variety of desserts! Popcorn is one of my fav’s for sure!!
A Wonderful Evening
We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Canoe; the whole experience from walking in the door to leaving was a delight. Everyone wished us a happy anniversary from the host to our delightful sever, Della. She described the menu and wine in detail and served us with care and attention. The food was delicious and our vegan daughter found much to her liking! Thank for a wonderful evening!
Always Wonderful!
I’ve been to Canoe a few times over the years when I visit Atlanta. It has always been Great and never disappointed! Our server Tyler was great! And, everyone from the reception area to the helpers are impeccably trained. Aside from the amazing food and service the view . . . Did I say the view? It is lovely and you can even go out and stroll in the garden!😊 I am pretty health minded and I’m not saying that the truffle fries with Parmesan cheese are Good or bad, but by golly they are delicious. 😛One of my favorite things is that they are real potatoes. Not sure if they cut them there, but they are real and not covered in unidentified gunk! The salmon appetizer is a resounding yes! The Bucatini Bolognese was extremely flavorful. Not a big pasta person, but the flavors were irresistible!😛 We also had the chicken taco dish wish was also good. Chocolate cake was Good, but didn’t blow my socks off!
The Best Restaurant in Atlanta
This to me is not only the best restaurant in Atlanta, but one of the the best restaurants in the US. Every time I come here, I always wonder if it will live up to my last experience, and every time it exceeds it. This was no different. When you enter Canoe, you find the hostess to be very friendly and professional. Right away you feel like you are in a for a top notch experience. If you get there a little early, definitely enjoy a drink outside on the river. What better way to get ready for dinner. When you are seated you will find whoever is your waiter or waitress to be very well versed on the menu. It is wonderful just to hear them describe the highlights and specials of the evening. We did try the kangaroo and had scallops for appetizers. I personally would not recommend the kangaroo. Not that it wasn't cooked right, it just wasn't that tasty a dish. The scallops on the other hand were perfect. For an entree I had the special with was Monkfish with jalapeño infused grits. I do not like grits, but thought maybe the chef knows better. Well he did, the meal was amazing and.i would order this meal every week if I could. Once again a perfect sized portion. We all had a different dessert and called it a night. If you have one night in Atlanta for a special meal, this is the place!
The service was incredible by our server, Kersey, when we
The service was incredible by our server, Kersey, when we visited. The food was unique and delicious - from the salmon and kangaroo appetizers, to the rabbit and veal entrees, everything was fresh and well prepared. We sat on the patio which was clean and had an amazing view of the river. We noticed people enjoying a pre-dinner cocktail out in the yard seating, so don't be intimidated by a wait! We highly recommend Canoe for a nice date night and also recommend requesting Kersey's section if he's working!
Starting with a cocktail in the garden riverside, our
Starting with a cocktail in the garden riverside, our evening at Canoe was delightful! The peppercorn crusted kangaroo appetizer was a perfect medium rare, tender and flavorful and balanced with the mushroom pate and crispy puff pastry. My braised rabbit was delicious with the accompanying large bacon-cabbage ravioli. Her lamb sirloin with goat cheese bread pudding and minted peas was a creative and flavorful combination. Our server Chris was attentive without being intrusive and made good recommendations, especially with his suggested wine pairing with the rabbit. The dining room with its expansive views of the gardens outside was first class, if a little noisy as it filled up on a Monday night. Looking forward to our next visit
Super romantic ambiance and food is delicious.
One of my go to restaurants for guests when they visit from out of town.
Leaving this 5 star review here as a place holder so I
Leaving this 5 star review here as a place holder so I remember to write a more detailed review. Long story will come at some point. But in short- the best customer service truly that I have experience in decades. Frank was a delightful server . Amanda, one of the managers made sure we were taken care of after a delay in getting our table. Don't forget to get the popcorn dessert and the banana rum ice cream that comes with the almond sphere are * chefs kiss* More to come !
This restaurant is gorgeous - the inside of the restaurant
This restaurant is gorgeous - the inside of the restaurant is very nice and what you might expect for a white table cloth dining experience. Their patio, or shall I say backyard, is really what blew me away. Beautiful gardens directly on the river with an awesome waterfront bar! We ate at the bar outside (first come, first serve). Drinks were good, but their outdoor bar menu was somewhat limited (just a couple of options for wine, beer, and cocktails). It did take some time for our drinks as they ran out of glasses and was waiting for the kitchen to restock them. For our appetizers, we enjoyed the beet salad and the kangaroo. Never had kangaroo before - very interesting! For dinner, we shared the duck breast and their burger. Burger, fries, and duck were all great! All in all, an awesome spot for a date night or just a beautiful place to grab a nice meal.
Perfect lunch with beautiful views
My friend and I had an amazing lunch. Our table was by the windows with beautiful views of the river. Our waitress was attentive and gave a great wine recommendation. The food came out quickly. The cod was delicious, especially the caper butter! We also enjoyed dessert. Definitely recommend exploring outside a bit after your meal!
I wouldn't recommend for a large party or if you want to
I wouldn't recommend for a large party or if you want to make arrangements with the manager. The hostess definitely was definitely not allowing me to speak to a manager. Sometimes as a muslim its hard to make reservations for Eid because it depends on the lunar calendar but Atlanta will be flooded with muslims trying to each brunch on Wednesday.
It was good.
The hype from other locals led me to believe it was great. We drove an hr to get there. Not worth all that. If you're in the area, would recommend. Just don't go out of your way or expect great, then you'll come away pleased with Canoe.
Food was good just wasn't enough based on the price,
Food was good just wasn't enough based on the price, service was excellent the staff runs like an oiled machine, ambiance is very nice and very fine dining. I'm not a fine dining fan so my review is based on that'.

The food is delicious and service is top notch, as good as the beautiful nature scenery. Truly an oasis in the middle of ATL!
We went there for lunch on Monday.
The service was great and so was the food. My wife has 3 half size apps for lunch. She had the soup, the fries and the smoked salmon. I had the fish entree. We loved the food. We then had two desserts for fun, and they were fantastic. All server recommendations. If we ever visit Atlanta again, this is a go to spot. After lunch, we walked to the river edge and took a couple of pictures. Only 15 minutes from midtown, but feels like a world away.
Had a wonderful experience - great food, venue, and staff.
However, I got terrible food poisoning from the duck breast. I will never go back after how bad this illness has been.
We went there for my husband's birthday.
He's been wanting to go here for years, and made sure we made reservations over a month in advance. This place did not disappoint! There is valet parking which is free and they do take Venmo for tip. Our server was fantastic. She was attentive, gracious and provided excellent recommendations. The restaurant itself their makes your think your in an upside down canoe or in a boat house. Very on theme with the name. The bread was homemade, and the walnut and cranberry/raisin were incredible. We ordered two appetizers, the calamari and the kangaroo Wellington. The calamari was delicious amazing flavors. The kangaroo was very good, the mushrooms and sauce were very strong with the flavors. My husband got the pork chop and risotto. He liked them both very much. I got the venison and the tortellini. Pasta was homemade, you could taste that immediately. The cheese blend was good except for the blue cheese. It wasn't equally balanced and blew out the taste. The venison was cooked perfectly, but after the cut it, I could really get the flavoring in the middle (which is a shame, the two ends were packed with flavor). For dessert, we ordered the strawberry soft pretzel bread pudding. I would have come here JUST for that dessert. The soft pretzel absorbed all the mixture and it was on point. Highly recommend. Before we drove back home, we hung out in their garden area on the water. There's also a space for a wedding (where there was one going on at that time) and a cocktail reception. It was a lovely meal and highly recommend visiting it the next time you visit.
Worth the visit!

The pasta and smoked salmon were bland.
The pork chop and ice cream dessert were very good. The waiter and hostess were so kind and attentive. The place was dimly lit and clean. We had a kangaroo dish which was fine. 6/10. If you want to try something different, I would recommend this place, but the food definitely leaves something to be desired.
Great food - great service.
Good spot for business lunch or dinner. Also great happy hour with band on some nights.
A classic Atlanta restaurant with a modern flare.
Canoe is located next to Chattahoochee river which gives this place a surreal eating experience. The staff is phenomenal, attentive and responsive at every turn. One of the best hidden gems in Atlanta. Let me just say that at first, I was not expecting anything out of the ordinary.. especially since I was going for the burger. But boy... was I in for a surprise.. During lunch, they have the Angus Burger, which is a delight in itself. A thick and juicy all beef angus patty with sharp cheddar cheese and accompanied by a mountain of truffle fries. Yes, it is just as epic as it sounds.. and the taste is equally impressive. Definitely one of the best burgers I've ever had. As if it couldn't get any better.. I also decided to come back and try their dinner burger.. which I found out, is a little different than lunch. The Duck n' Beef burger, is bar-none, stellar! First of all, it's made with duck fat, and a thick slice of sharp cheddar... and to top it off (literally) a sunny side up egg.. I mean.., is this heaven? Why yes.. yes it is. 10 out of 10... amazing. They are not the cheapest of course, you're looking to spend around $22 for the burger and the truffle fries (which are also - to die for!), but believe me.., it is well worth it. So if you're looking to treat yourself, or a loved one to one of the best burgers in Atlanta... look no further. Canoe is just up the river! Happy paddling!
5 Stars for an upscale atmosphere with unique dishes (Think
5 Stars for an upscale atmosphere with unique dishes (Think rabbit, venison, and even kangaroo!) and excellent service. We were able to score a 9:30pm reservation for Canoe on short notice and were willing to start dinner late to be able to enjoy this special spot. Our server was prompt and clearly very well trained. He told us about the Australian chef to help us understand the game-forward menu. As someone who has a hard time making decisions, I opted to go for the peppercorn crusted kangaroo 'Wellington' appetizer, featuring mushroom pate, topped with puff pastry ($21) and the baby arugula salad app with spiced nuts, Parmesan cheese, and a poppy seed vinaigrette ($17). The salad was fully tossed in the dressing (but not overly dressed), which balanced the peppery greens. The kangaroo 'Wellington' was impressive and had the whole table taking bites. The mushroom and pastry helped ease the gaminess of the meat, but it was pretty difficult to chew through and led to a halt in the conversation as we all flexed our jaw muscles! Regardless, it was full of flavor and still a win. I also had the pleasure of trying the rabbit and venison (we all shared bites!) and can see why this spot gets booked up quickly! Both dishes were packed with nuance and flavor and warranted the over $40 prices. Overall a very lovely evening and a special atmosphere. Next time I'll try their cocktails!
My boyfriend and I weren't celebrating anything special
My boyfriend and I weren't celebrating anything special when we made this trip from Houston to Atlanta, except that he wanted to show me where he went to college, but this dining experience put this weekend date over the top! This place is beautiful. The grounds were peaceful and romantic. The service provided by Chris, our waiter, was impeccable. What made this dining experience super special were the special things that Jaime and Amanda arranged. These ladies made recommendations and executed a memorable evening. From giving us a few minutes to stroll in the garden while they prepared our table and our pre-ordered cocktails, to the special message written on our dessert plate, my man certainly felt extra special. He called them "my team!" Thank you for giving us a memorable experience and we will certainly be back!!!!
Great everything food, service and bartenders great drinks.
Nice atmosphere and warm welcome. Tim was exceptionally bartender
Everything on the menu is delicious! I've been coming here
Everything on the menu is delicious! I've been coming here for many years and I've never been disappointed in the food or the impeccable service.

The service was excellent, the food was just so so and way overpriced for the quality of food received. Our truffle fries (3 of us) weren't cooked, so he brought us out a bowl of fresh fries to share. They weren't cooked either. Drinks were okay, but tasted watered down. Overrated.
Dinner with friends in the ATL
Holy cow!! Has to be one of my top restaurants, if not my top. The experience was over the top. The food was unbelievable from the appetizers to the dessert. We started the evening with a beet salad and the Kangaroo wellington, our main course was a selection of braised duck breast or rabbit. We finished it off with a couple desserts. As one in the group had a gf food allergy, they met that on all the dishes. The service was outstanding. The entire staff new the entire menu completely.
Such a special lunch
We enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Canoe on a sunny Monday. The hostess was kind enough to open the gate so we could wander along the river and she was gracious enough to take our pictured. She also gave some wonderful meal recommendations. KJ was our server and she provided great service. We shared the truffle fries and the shrimp salad with a delicious Sauvignon blanc. She kindly halved our portions as we were sharing a meal. Her dessert recommendation was incredibly good. She also offered us the flat bread to take with us and it was such a kind gesture. This entire experience of having lunch at Canoe was delightful experience and I cannot wait to return.
UP A RIVER WITHOUT A PADDLE WITH THIS CANOE...
We were celebrating our anniversary. The employees were nice enough to acknowledge our special day. It's a great view of the river if they give you a good table. Unfortunately, we were sat to the side with a view of dirty stairs and what looked like an abandoned tent used for receptions. Dirty martinis and breadbasket were good and after an hour had passed, we finally received our 8oz cold rare Beef Tenderloin and dry Roasted Duroc Pork Chop. I ordered medium and got a cold bloody piece of beef. My boyfriend took two bites of the pork and couldn't bring himself to send it back. I declined my plate. They did offer to replace it but after waiting an hour for food that clearly had sat waiting to be served, I was disenchanted. To make up for the bad food they gave us a free hard dessert that looked like someone rejected it. They finally indicated that we would not be charged for the $60 bloody piece of beef. If the river swelled and washed this Canoe away would be the only improvement made. I digress, as fortunately there are many other amazing restaurants in Atlanta.
Best brunch!
As I got this graving for a true "eat-heavy" brunch, my friends suggested CANOE. Well, we did eat heavy but all was perfectly done. The personnel is genuinely polite and highly experienced. Cocktails are STRONG! (and this is good!) A bit pricey but all worth it.
Great Location / Atmosphere / Food
Wonderful food. We had a birthday celebration and they really looked after us. Great view, wonderful staff.
A "must experience" dining destination.
Canoe was recommended a while ago by a friend and last week we made an impromptu decision to dine there. Upon arrival, we chose to utilize the complimentary valet service. While reservations are strongly advised due to the popularity, we were fortunate enough to be seated immediately in the main dining room. We were immediately greeted by our server, Patricia, who took first-class care of us the entire evening. The restaurant overlooks scenic gardens, with a river just beyond - a beautiful backdrop for a wedding ceremony, or similar occasion. Canoe boasts and extensive wine selection, both by the bottle, and by the glass. They pride themselves on their specialty fish and game dishes, which we both had the opportunity to enjoy. The food was fresh, well presented, and perfectly cooked. I would once again like to recognize Patricia for her guidance and food recommendations. Overall, a fantastic experience. Canoe should be on anyone's "go-to" list as an exceptional dining venue.
Not worth the price
After hearing such great things about the restaurant and location (near the river), I was not impressed with the food. We sat outside and the service was lacking in attention. The meals were very expensive compared to the quality. I will not be returning as there are so many better restaurants with equally nice views of greenery (the distant view of the river is not worth the hightened prices).
Disappointing dining experience -- a hot mess!
We have heard such great reviews about Canoe, so we decided to go with our family for our 40th wedding anniversary. The appetizers were delicious. However, our entrees were a hot mess! After waiting for our entrees for what seemed like a lifetime, three pork chops were overcooked, and the venison was not hot. So we waiting some more for them to come out properly. No apologies, and no manager came to our table. You would think if you're spending that much money on dinner that in the very least, a manager would come by to apologize. Crickets! Perhaps it was just an off night, but we won't be back any time soon.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Canoe Atlanta at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Canoe Atlanta page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
