Food in my opinion, was excellent. I didn't have one thing that I wasn't happy with. The mescaline old fashioned wasn't on the menu, but if you ask for it, ye shall receive. Leighton, our server had excellent recommendations and was professional yet friendly.

Went here on my birthday with my husband and everyone was so nice and they gave me a birthday dessert with a little cute bouquet!
I really recommend the shrimp a la plancha!! It was so amazing. Literally the best shrimp dish I had.🤌
It's a crowded and busy space that is dimly lit and somehow still great for those trendy date nights.
The oysters and seafood here is amazing and I'll gladly come back next time I'm in town. The selection of oysters is great and I loved how there was a description of the tastes of each one. I order
As someone who has tried another establishment by Chef Ford Fry and was disappointed by the food, I was slightly apprehensive about coming to The Optimist. Well, happy to say I was pleasantly surprised.
Atmosphere - The Optimist provides valet parking next at the apartment building right net to the
This place never disappoints…from the raw oyster bar ( go between 3-5pm for half price oysters) then go sit in the dining room that gives you a full view of the kitchen…very elegant but rustic in the vibe.
