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.

Delicious food, excellent service. Our waiter was Frank, and he took very good care of us. The table and view of the river was beautiful. We love this restaurant. Can't go wrong on any item on the menu, but personally, I think the lamb is incredible!

The atmosphere was great, with a welcoming vibe and a well-thought-out ambiance that made the space feel inviting. The food itself was enjoyable—flavorful, well-prepared, and worth the visit. However, my experience was slightly dampened by a very noisy family seated next to me, which made it difficult to fully enjoy the meal in a relaxed setting. Additionally, while the desserts were tasty, I found them to be somewhat overpriced for what was offered. That being said, the main courses and overall vibe of the restaurant made up for these small inconveniences. I’d still recommend it for a nice dining experience, especially if you’re looking for great food and a lively atmosphere.

The best dining experience in Atlanta. The menu is perfect, service is impeccable, ambiance is beautiful, and there’s nothing stuffy or pretentious about the experience. A wonderful place to take newcomers or visitors.

The food was great and so was the service as expected from an upscale restaurant. I had the Chicken with the Arugula Parmesan salad for my appetizer. My date had the steak with the Kangaroo for his appetizer. We could not eat it all and the leftovers were even better the next day. I would highly recommend Canoe for an intimate date night with someone special. If you drink, The Mint to Bee is a very refreshing cocktail.

Everything spot on! This place runs like to surgical machine. The service is stellar! Our waiters name was Kersey and he was the captain of our dinning experience. Trust me it's consistently a wonderful overall experience!!! The food is exponentially out of bounds! Each dish was severed with a spectacular presentation and was equally delicious. My party was a customer and his wife. Canoe makes entertaining clients easy breezy! I will definitely be back the next time visiting the ATL!
