The Best Restaurants In West Midtown - Atlanta - The Infatuation
"ATL residents already know about this seafood restaurant that’s been a big name in the city since 2012. No West Midtown guide would be complete without The Optimist, but it isn’t just an obligatory addition—its reputation as a top seafood restaurant is well earned, especially if you like oysters since they have a big variety. The massive subway-tiled dining area is usually full of corporate groups hitting Happy Hour after work and couples looking for a romantic dinner over aphrodisiacs, so you should make a reservation before you come. Plus, the buttery lobster roll on a brioche bun is one of our city favorites. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - jacinta howard, juli horsford, nina reeder
