Canoe
My wife and I have gone to Canoe for a few years and the food and service have always been good and consistent. During the summer the wait times can be pretty long depending on what time you arrive. After reading the past posts, i had to find out for myself. I did read the sign posted and its contents, I couldn't find it anywhere stating what previous posts had mentioned. I asked an older lady working there what all the negative posts recently stemmed from. She stated that a party of 5 or 6 people without a reservation came in to dine at about 5:30pm. The staff at Canoe explained to the party that they were busy and another party had a reservation at 7pm. They would be happy to seat them as long as they were finished by 7pm to allow the party that made a reservation to have their table. This is a far cry from what previous members of this forum have posted. Anyway, with that said we were sat at our table with no time reference ever mentioned. Our server, I think named Emma or Emily?? arrived at our table promptly and took our drink order. We had the calamari for an app. and it was very good. We told our server we didnt want to rush and ordered after each course. My wife had a Caesar salad and i had the wedge. The Caesar could have used some more dressing but it was tasty. I had the house cut prime strip cooked medium rare- just perfect, the wife had the lobster mac n cheese. We shared both to our delight. I did notice they restaurant was filling up pretty quickly throughout our time their. So, before any others want to bash this place without ever going their or not going for 3 years due to a past disappointing experience, try it again. No place is perfect, especially in the lakes region that's for sure.
