Canoe is located a short drive or cab ride from downtown Atlanta Georgia in the rural community of Vinings Georgia. It is a great place to escape the mad pace of the city for a few hours and enjoy some of the best food in the area.

Before Canoe became the acclaimed restaurant that it is today it was one a a dance and drinking hall called Robinson’s Tropical Gardens. You can find some photos of Robinson's in a hallway near some of the many awards the restaurant has won over the years.

In the photo above you get a feeling of the rustic warmth of the space. The photo shows the main dining room, with the dark wood chairs, the bright linen tablecloths and the rough hewn brick walls in the background.
