Personally, Canoe is hands down my favorite restaurant in the Lakes Region. From the service to the food all the way down to the ambience and price, I have never had an issue. I feel you get what you pay for and PERSONALLY I have always gotten what I've paid for at Canoe. I will continue to patronize and talk about my positive experiences at this establishment.

Also, I believe Scott O's response was respectable and justified. He didn't bash, yet told it like it was. He's not here to be your best friend but rather to run a business. He took the time to respond and clarify some of the FALSE RUMORS about his establishment. I think that some need to LIGHTEN up.

Lakesrider, not that I don't love the VK and their impeccably fast service, maybe you should realize other people like to go out to dinner for enjoyment. If I wanted fast food when I went out, I'd go to McDonald's. Comparing the VK to Canoe is unrealistic. Can you get a NY Prime Strip steak oscar style with a bottle of vino at the VK? This isn't meant to be a personal attack, I'm simply trying to justify the fact that some of your comparisons are completely out of line. I won't speak on service...I love the service at VK but I've also had immaculate service while being at Canoe.

Again, just to reiterate...if Canoe's not for you, then don't go. They're doing something right where their parking lot is always filled and clearly management is proactive with the criticism. I commend them and look forward to going back and also The Woodshed.
