We had an absolutely amazing experience at the Optimist. Our server was Damien and he gave excellent service all night. All the food tasted amazing and it was perfectly coursed throughout the night. Additionally, Damien had a strong table presence that really made our night. We will definitely be back.

Our amazing server Khalid was so knowledgeable about the area and the menu, amazing cocktails and of course the tart!! Service was outstanding, food was divine and the restaurant is gorgeous. Such a great choice for dinner in Atlanta - must stop on a foodie tour. Two girls from Vegas had the best time.

Had the valentine prix fixe menu - was excellent and the wine pairings were well matched. The salad starter had pink lettuce, the scallops had pomegrantes in the sauce, and the black forest cake was heart shaped with cherries, emphasizing the Valentine theme. The noise level was reasonable - could talk and hear without raising our voices but we could hear other tables.

What an incredible night of delicious food, exceptional service and a beautiful restaurant to celebrate Valentine's. Our server, Jose, was one of the best servers we have ever had. He was fun, knowledgeable, always there when we needed him. We ordered the French Onion Soup and the Mixed Salad to start, both were on point. My husband ordered their version of Steak Frites, a chopped ribeye basted in butter and thyme and served with the best frites! I ordered the Sole, deboned table side, it literally melted in my mouth. Dessert was Chocolate Souffle and Cheesecake...both again were made to perfection. We will definetly be back...sooner than later!

Food was good. But the service wasn’t as good. My server was hardly ever to be found. Then someone in my group didn’t get their food until it was time to go.
