Atlanta｜Oyster & Seafood Spot – The Optimist 🦪🌊

Known for its stellar seafood—especially oysters—The Optimist is an Atlanta favorite. They even have a daily happy hour: Mon–Fri 5–6 PM | Sat–Sun 3–5 PM Since I prefer cooked oysters, I tried their char-grilled oysters—and they were perfect! Grilled just enough to bring out a tender sweetness without overpowering the natural flavor. 🦀 SHE Crab Soup – Rich and creamy, slightly sweet on its own but wonderfully balanced with their fresh bread. 🍥 Hokkaido Scallops – Tender scallops paired with broccolini and pine nuts for a clean, layered, and refreshing bite. The vibe is coastal-casual yet polished—ideal for a seafood-focused dinner or happy hour with friends. 📍 The Optimist 914 Howell Mill Rd, Atlanta, GA 30318 #AtlantaEats #TheOptimist #SeafoodLover #OysterHappyHour #HappeningSpot #FreshSeafood #AtlantaFoodie #DateNight #CoastalVibes 🍽️✨
