I rarely post reviews... but I’ve been dining here for years now and I’ve never been disappointed. The food is incredible, consistent, fresh... best place for Crudo in Atlanta. And the high level of service here is what every restaurant should strive to achieve. I love you, Optimist.
Excelente service, good food and atmosphere. I will be back
Sit at the oyster bar will be cheaper
Excellent meal, great atmosphere and accommodating and friendly staff
I’m thinking about moving upstairs so I can come to the Optimist every night! Love this place!
Fantastic Service! Enjoyed everything. The oysters were delicious and the fried blowfish tails were perfection. Looking forward to my next visit.
I have always enjoyed this restaurant. The service was bad and the food was just ok.
Incredible food in a hopping and vibrant atmosphere. Some classic Southern comfort food given that extra touch of class and attention to detail, together with more contemporary dishes where the ingredients play the starring role and the chef knows when ‘less is more’. This is of course the only thing to do if you’re serious seafood. One of the best meals of my life in the last 10 years.
