Review of The Optimist

What an optimistic experience!!

What an optimistic experience!!

Everything about this spot was amazing. My family and I ran into it, as we are from out of town and we were looking for something to eat around 9:45pm. We were originally wondering if they would seat us since closing time said 10pm. They were nothing but welcoming and willing to serve.

From the get, the service was stellar. Bryce was so nice, attentive, and very knowledgeable on each dish. This made the experience very smooth and pleasant.
The service was very quick as well. The ambience is wonderful. They make a large space feel cozy.

Now, Let s talk about the food!

To begin with, the shecrap soup was creamy, dreamy however light and perfect. The shrimp toast that accompanies it is nothing less than absolutely DELICIOUS. Such a cool concept.

The roasted oysters were also very very tasty.

The family favorite was the Halibut steak. WHAT A DISH. The fish was soft on the inside and perfectly crisp on the outside. The salsa verde was the perfect compliment.

Andddd my personal favorite, the lychee-rose sorbet.
The freshest, yummiest of all.

Overall, this experience was quite perfect and we look forward to coming back when we revisit ATL.

Thank you guys at The Optimist !
