Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Sautee

Our go to nice lunch in Highlands. Friendly genteel atmosphere and excellent food.

Canoe is hands down one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had in Atlanta. We came to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday, and the evening couldn’t have been more perfect. The atmosphere is just magical—warm, inviting, and the kind of place where you instantly feel at ease. The setting by the river is breathtaking and added such a special touch to the night. A huge shoutout to Patricia, our amazing waiter! She was everything you could hope for—attentive, super knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely fun. She kept us laughing all evening and made the entire experience feel so personal and memorable. The food was next-level amazing. Every dish was a work of art, both in how it looked and how it tasted. You can tell the chef puts so much heart and creativity into every bite. Honestly, it’s some of the best food we’ve ever had. Thank you, Canoe, for making my girlfriend’s birthday celebration so special. We’ll absolutely be back! If you’re looking for a place that delivers incredible food, amazing service, and an unforgettable vibe, this is it.

Great experience, fantastic food. One of the better places in Helen to eat.

Bones once again proves it’s the best steakhouse in the entire Southeastern US. 5 star service accompanied by the highest quality, tastiest food. Our party of 5 each had steaks. Each one was perfectly prepared, tender and melted in our mouths. The corn soufflé, Mac n cheese & spinach sides were on point as usual. The warm pecan pie for dessert was a show stopper. Can’t wait to go back again and again.

Nan’s is a wonderful, white table cloth, first class service restaurant. The cocnut soup with lobster is outstanding!
