a dead horse, but there are several issues.

As someone did post a photo of the sign, most people seem OK with that. In reality, almost all the restaurants in the area have the same real issue with staff when the season changes.

The main issue seems to be this time limit policy. At least one poster had a reservation himself this year and was still told he had a time limit. Also, as they do not take reservations for 4 or less, then saying that you have to leave at a certain time for a larger group with reservations is a problem. It is not just people walking in and told they can eat but have to leave at a certain time because a party has a later reservation...small parties cannot make a reservation so they always walk in without one.

Most people do not want to bash a restaurant for no reason...but there does seem to be a problem at Canoe. The hostess recollecting one disgruntled and, in her view, unreasonable group is not really a good defense.

Canoe does a lot of things right, otherwise it would not be so popular. And,yes, someone will always find fault with something; but there is a problem.
