It is by far my favorite restaurant in Atlanta. It's in a lovely setting with exemplary service and knowledgeable staff who are customer focused. The food is always delicious - you can tell the chef knows what he's doing and the ingredients are always fresh

Came here with my Girlfriend to enjoy a unique menu. Started out with kangaroo. It was quite nice. Lightly seasoned, pepery, very tender, but only lukewarm. It was a nice started and would recommend however for four small bites at $20 the temperature and/or quantity could have been elevated.

For the mains I ordered the rabbit which was tender, flavor profile of a hen but a little firmer, and not too gamey. The rabbit was cooked well, and quite flavorful. Portions were decent in size and I thoroughly enjoyed.

My Girlfriend ordered the duroc porkchop which was nice aswell. Everything was quite nice. I do think there is room for slight improvement on the flavor profile and temperature of the food served.

2 small comes for $10

4/5 stars for everything

The chef definitely knows how to tell a detailed story with flavor. His knowledge of cuisine from the other side of the world shines in his dishes. I can't wait to come back.

One of the best dining experiences I had in a very long time and their menu is so unique and each item is amazing.

I was in town visiting, and this was hands-down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. I tried the lamb (my first time ever having it), and it was cooked to perfection so tender and easily one of the best entrées I’ve had. The ambiance was great, and our server was wonderful, too. And I have food allergies, and they were incredibly accommodating and knowledgeable. They clearly explained what ingredients were in each dish and helped me navigate the menu with confidence.

We chose Canoe for Valentine’s Day because we wanted the night to feel special. Instead, we left feeling completely overlooked and honestly pretty hurt.

We understand Valentine’s Day is busy. We weren’t expecting perfection. But our server, Alex J, checked on us once the entire night. Meanwhile, we watched her refill drinks at the tables next to us multiple times, check in on them repeatedly, and bring bread to every surrounding table except ours. We kept thinking she would come back, but she never did.

It wasn’t just slow service, it felt like we were being ignored. Seeing other tables get attentive service while we sat there waiting was frustrating and honestly embarrassing. Valentine’s Day is supposed to feel special, and instead we felt like an afterthought.

This experience really upset us. We expected much better from Canoe, especially on a night that means a lot to people. We hope this feedback is taken seriously, because no one should feel invisible while celebrating something important.

Super disappointed. Went for Valentines day. Ordered beef tenderloin meal. Thinking tenderloin = filet. I recieved a teres major (fake tenderlion from the Chuck.....not actual tenderloin) that was on the verge on being spoiled. Also it came out closer to medium and even medium well in places as opposed to being medium rare. But center was mid rare, since its a lopsided cut. Honestly it was the worst piece of steak ive ever eaten in my life. And I cooked 20 years professionally

Mashed potatoes were lumpy AND gummy which is honestly impressive. Labeled as truffle mashed. No discernible flavor other than potato starch and potato skin. Would've worked better as wall plaster than feeding actual paying guests.

The tuna appetizer was solid. Had too much dill and was severely underportioned with 2-3 super thin slices, but flavor and presentation was good. I wasnt expecting huge portions or anything, just the ratio of fish to veg was too lopsided.

Desserts were good, had popcorn sundae, which was whimsical and fun, but pretty pedestrian flavor wise. The chocolate cremiux presented well but brownies were hard and dry, the chocolate ganache had good texture but flavor was pretty muted and didnt wow. Also pedestrian flavor wise.

Overall, maybe it was a bad night, maybe I didnt choice the best dishes. The place obviously knows what they are doing from a service and presentation standpoint. The food, which I had the highest of hopes for, failed miserably on execution. Everything looked great at least, but charging 70 for a tenderlion that isn't a tenderlion and it being of such poor quality is a shame.
Ill give place another shot in the future but i suppose ill lower my expectations for the price points. Ill be paying for service and not necessarily the execution of the food

I've been to Canoe a number of times over the years, and they have consistently delivered on, or exceeded expectations - enough so, that we have committed to hosting our wedding with them.

Last night, in particular, I wanted to highlight my outstanding experience with Della as our server during our tasting. She is clearly very experienced and well-organized in her role.

As a business owner, myself, I understand that having the right people on your team is what truly makes or breaks the experience for your clients. Della is one of those people that takes her role seriously, and understands how important every touchpoint is.

I can't say enough about the professionalism, the experience, and of course, the quality of the food. My fiance and I are very much looking forward to our upcoming wedding here.

Amazing dining experience! The atmosphere is warm and inviting with an upscale vibe and beautiful view! It was so cool seeing how the restaurant incorporated the building’s history into Canoe today. The service was top notch, specifically Carrie and Hartman were phenomenal very informed about their menu and made great detailed suggestions! The cold smoked salmon was recommended by Carrie, Hartman, and the valet and it did not disappoint, the kangaroo was a standout as well! To finish it off Hartman told us about the popcorn sundae and it was the perfect finishing. 10/10 for Carrie and Hartman and we will definitely be back!
