What Our Expert Scouts Are Saying
According to lifeoptimizer.org there are 45 benefits to being an optimist: among them, that it promotes happiness and healthy living. We’re pleased to say The Optimist, the new, smartly designed, fish restaurant from Chef Ford Fry of JCT Kitchen and No. 246 generates a similar effect, thanks to its scrumptious sea food offerings. Ford Fry is a wizard with ocean dwellers of all kinds, from his swordfish poached in duck fat to the smoked haddock chowder and Maine lobster roll.

Reservations are hard to come by but there's usually room at the front oyster bar. it has a limited menu, but everything on it is delicious.

There's a reason why Fry's newest restaurant has been named Esquire's Best New Restaurant of the Year-with their lush interior, extensive seafood menu and open oyster bar, you'll forget us Atlantans were ever landlocked to begin with. The maine lobster roll, swordfish and any of Chef Taria's desserts are a winner here.

The Optimist is hot, with national acclaim and a chef that keeps adding onto his empire. The menu changes often and although seafood is definitely the main draw, beef, pork & chicken make regular appearances on the menu. Don't miss Chef Taria's creative desserts & the stellar cocktails.
