Inspired by the classic fish camp, although substantially upscaled, The Optimist offers a sophisticated yet casual ambience in two operations: a restaurant and an adjacent raw bar that stays open until all sated guests have departed. Here you’ll find a late plate of raw or wood-roasted oysters. Omit the fancy fixings and stick to lemon wedges. The bar's noise levels are friendlier than in the...

Fantastic food, excellent service. Worth checking out.
My husband and I have wanted to try this restaurant for a while, as we've heard its the best seafood in Atlanta and well, Ford Fry.
