Best Lunch Restaurants in Smyrna

It was my birthday celebration and Blue Ridge Grill did not disappoint. I had the the house special, snapper with pumpkin gnocchi which was simply amazing. Blue Ridge Grill has that special touch from the complimentary valet parking, the subtle birthday table decoration along with a menu with my name on it. The customer service was outstanding. The greeters, the server and wine steward was impeccable. I want to give special recognition to server POLASH who provided the fine dining experience by his sophistication and excellent wine, starter and entree recommendations. POLASH went above and beyond when we mentioned Blue Ridge would like to give me a “small” birthday dessert. I thought the small dessert box with my menu was the dessert. Well, there was nothing small about my the dessert. It was enough for 4 people. It really made me feel special when Blue Ridge Grill offered their top signature dessert. I had an amazing time and recommend Blue Ridge Grill for any occasion.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at Ray's On the River, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel special, with each person wishing us a happy anniversary. Tyler and Raul provided excellent table service - attentive, friendly, and professional. The atmosphere was elegant and romantic, with beautiful views of the river. The food was outstanding, with every dish expertly prepared and full of flavor. Overall, Ray's provided the perfect setting for our celebration, and we can't wait to return. Highly recommend for a special occasion.

This was definitely one of my best experiences yet! It was a huge improvement compared to my last visit. Your waitress- Taeja’s service made all the difference—her knowledge of the menu and expertise with Fifth Group really stood out. We’ll definitely be back to celebrate more special occasions!

Canoe is hands down one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had in Atlanta. We came to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday, and the evening couldn’t have been more perfect. The atmosphere is just magical—warm, inviting, and the kind of place where you instantly feel at ease. The setting by the river is breathtaking and added such a special touch to the night. A huge shoutout to Patricia, our amazing waiter! She was everything you could hope for—attentive, super knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely fun. She kept us laughing all evening and made the entire experience feel so personal and memorable. The food was next-level amazing. Every dish was a work of art, both in how it looked and how it tasted. You can tell the chef puts so much heart and creativity into every bite. Honestly, it’s some of the best food we’ve ever had. Thank you, Canoe, for making my girlfriend’s birthday celebration so special. We’ll absolutely be back! If you’re looking for a place that delivers incredible food, amazing service, and an unforgettable vibe, this is it.

Everything was great other than my prime rib. That kitchen only knows how to serve it rare. I wanted medium and I got super well done. People were nice and service was fine. I guess just make sure you like your prime rib the way the kitchen will serve it.
