Review of The Optimist

My wife and I were here to celebrate her birthday....

My wife and I were here to celebrate her birthday. I made reservations and while they were fast on seating us, the server took awhile to greet us. It was fairly busy that night so maybe they were short-staffed. The server was great overall with a good attitude and knowledge of the menu. Highlights from menu included the Spanish Octopus which offers a spicy, sweet, and addictive experience in taste and the Smoked Fish Chowder which is heaven in a bowl. My only critique is that the prices don't match the portion sizes or maybe they do...hmm. I wouldn't say that this was my favorite seafood place in Atlanta but overall I would try the Optimist again.
