Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Smyrna

Old Vinings Inn is a neighborhood gem! Great atmosphere, delicious food at reasonable prices, friendly staff, and overall perfect spot for a special get together!

The cocktails, especially the sage alchemy and cherry blossom, were delicious. The Oscar eggs Benedict with crab meat had a perfectly poached egg and a delicate hollandaise sauce. The scrambled eggs with the pancake palooza were flavorful, and the pancakes were some of the best I have ever had. We love oyster happy hour here, but brunch comes in a close second. The jazz duo played a mix of festive and classic songs. We will definitely be back for Jazz Brunch again!

The restaurant was decorated and buzzing with the holiday spirit. Our food and drinks were great, and as usual, our waiter/bartender Tyler was terrific!

Loved it! Perfect choice for our holiday get together.

Ray's on the River is the Go-To good restaurant for several of my friends. We are American but of English background and Ray's combines the highest food standards with European style classical decor and ambiance, functional and elegant. The service is especially good - what I would call International standard professional, attentive without being over-so; around when needed but not always interrupting conversation to ask how the food is. The menu is really good but not huge - they do what they know they do well. The upside of this is you get your good food unusually quickly. Not cheap but an excellent special lunch for two - shared starter, two mains, shared desert comes in at $60/$70.
