[/B] 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.

Ummm, you need to re-read my reply. Where did I ever compare one places food to another, or say anything about food? I just mentioned where I would rather go for good service. Never said anything about food. The Canoes food is excellent.
I do enjoy going out. I go out to eat two or three times a week. I support local business the best I can.
Am I however supposed to ENJOY waiting an hour for my drinks as the waiter walks by my table time and time again too serve others their drinks that came in after I did. I don't think so. Am I supposed to enjoy it when I flag him down and he sighs when I ask where our drinks are....Like I am bothering him? Those are some of the experiences I have had. Why is it just me? I have no idea. I don't have
any Swastikas tattooed on my forehead, Hells Angles Jackets, or horns coming out of my skull.

Obviously you don't like the Village Kitchen's food by your remarks comparing them to McDonald's, and have no problem expressing so. Yet my comments about the Canoe's service are unacceptable to you. Using your example in comparing the VK to McDonalds, it is just as unrealistic. Can you get Prime Rib at McDonalds? Pot Roast? Haddock? All in the same amount of time practically as getting a Big Mac?

If ever I do go to the Canoe again, and walk a 1/4 mile from the church parking lot again, in the rain, I'll be certain to wear a shirt that says "Shreddy" on it. Maybe I'll have better luck getting better service......

Re-read my reply....S-e-r-v-i-c-e....Nothing about....F-o-o-d......
