ATL's Upscale Date Spot | Seafood & Oyster Heaven 🦞💕

📍 The Optimist 914 Howell Mill Rd, Atlanta, GA 30318 A top-tier seafood restaurant perfect for a romantic night out! 🥂 🦪 Oysters – Fresh, varied, and beautifully presented. Don’t miss the secret menu grilled oysters with garlic butter—so rich and delicious! 🐙 Grilled Octopus – Incredibly tender, served with zesty onion-pepper relish. A must-order appetizer! 🦐 Shrimp & Mussels – Fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. 🍞 Pre-Meal Honey Rolls – Warm, sweet, and nostalgic—like a childhood bakery! 🍯 🍤 Scallops Entrée – Perfectly seared and buttery… but only three pieces 😅 🌽 Fried Corn Fritters – Crispy, savory, and addictive. 🍹 Cocktails – Gorgeous but strong—sip slowly! 🥃 The gumbo was just okay (though the garlic bread on the side was great), and the confit fish didn’t stand out. With valet parking, polished service, and a stylish ambiance, this is a seafood lover’s dream date destination. 💖 #Atlanta #ATLFood #Seafood #DateNight #TheOptimist #Oysters #FineDining #AtlantaEats #RomanticDinner #FoodieExperience
