The Optimist

Now my favorite to go Seafood restaurant Westside! We had the most charming sweet informative waiter. He was Welsh! I'm British so it was fun. Perfect for a 1st date for your suitor to impress! Ambience warm

This is a nicely presented restaurant, with a modern decor. Our server was very attentive and gave a brief informative breakdown of the menu. Although I found the food very filling, the rest of the party were all very satisfied with their choices and the meal overall. Definitely a place to return to.

Great service and food. I would definitely return to this restaurant. The SHRIMP A LA PLANCHA was so good. I definitely suggest ordering. Our waiter was on it - checking in every moment. We went for date night and got such quality service. The entrees were a good portion but just a little salty. The starters and sides were a lot tastier than the entrees to be honest. Cocktails were also really good.

Took my wife to dinner for date night and we had an excellent first experience. In short, everything was perfect. The service was outstanding, our waitress was personable and thorough. We had the calamari appetizer which was fantastic. Dinner was very good; I was underwhelmed by the halibut but the grits were phenomenal. We had a special holiday drink that was fun and festive. Overall it was a perfect start to our evening and we will definitely eat here again.

What a wonderful and amazing dinner we had. We made reservations to host a handful of coworkers and friends. Ray (GM) and our server (Gary) were such phenomenal host and were very tentative. We couldn’t have asked for a better meal, better service and a better evening. Thank you such a great night of food and fun. We can’t wait for many more.
