Service was Ok. Food was subpar. Bread was the best food of the meal. Had the fish and chips; it was over cooked with an unbelievably thick breading. It was so greasy I had to pick off the breading and eat the fish. This place is overpriced and overrated. We won’t return.
The restaurant it self is very nice but when ‘I called because ‘I was running late and would miss my reservation time, my two second delay led me to being hung up on. The waiter was just ok and a little rude. When ‘I told him the coke he brought me tasted like diet he of course did not believe me and gave me a reason why ‘I must be wrong but when he went to check he had given me diet. The food was ok, but the bread and hush puppies were very very good. Valet is mandatory and there is a fee plus you are expected to tip on top... read more
How have I missed this place before now!!! My husband and I celebrated our anniversary there and loved everything about it. Great food, terrific ambiance, wonderful server, and complimentary Prosecco!!!! Will go back soon.
Halibut was awesome! We loved it and will definitely be back!
Where do you eat when you spend two nights in Atlanta? Oyster Bar at The Optimist. Both nights. So great we had to go back. Hoping this opens in Chicago sometime. Soon!!
Impeccable service, great ambience and the food was amazing!
Actually my snapper was excellent-it would just be nice to get a little more or a small side with it. But again great dish!
Amazing food! The grilled octopus was the best I’ve ever had!
One of the most amazing dinners I’ve ever had. Thank you to the management and the staff for their amazing hospitality to my daughter and myself. This is the place you need to visit if you’re Atlanta
