The Optimist transports landlocked Tennesseans to the coast for super-fresh, sustainably sourced seafood. Our menu weaves together classic and modern seafood favorites, cocktails of the season complement the fare, and an extensive outdoor patio and “game” area complete the full experience.
We have 2 areas that can accommodate private events! Our Captain's Room can seat up to 10 guests and our Private Dining Room can seat up to 30 guests or up to 16 guests semi privately. The Optimist is also available for a full restaurant buyout!
We were seated about 10 minutes after our reservation time in the bar area. We had selected standard seating. There’s a large step up to the banquette side of these bar tables, which we were not warned about. After my husband slipped and hit his shin the hostess mentioned she usually warns people. The table next to us said the same thing happened to them. When we ordered oysters we had to ask for crackers and were told “I don’t usually bring those out unless there’s dip” however the menu clearly states at the bottom that crackers are served with the oysters. When we asked to split the soup it was brought out in one dish. I asked “does your kitchen refuse to split items” to which our server said that they only offer cups of soup in the winter and only offer bowls in the summer… I would love to come to your yearly cup smashing party where you remove that size vessel from your kitchen.

We celebrated our anniversary at The Optimist, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The food was absolutely incredible—fresh, creative, and full of flavor—but what truly made the night unforgettable was the way we were treated.
A special thank you to Amy, our server, who went above and beyond. Her knowledge of the menu and genuine enthusiasm made the experience feel so personal and celebratory. She took the time to make sure every detail was just right and added such a special touch to our evening.

Inconsistent temperatures on supposed high end restaurant. One fish came out hot, one lukewarm. Obviously no way to send back without waiting too long to get equally hot food. Asparagus wilted. Disappointing experience. Not going back.
