In addition they were running a surf and turf special and the steak was about 3 oz with the smallest lobster tail I have ever seen ($30). We spent $100 for a meal that was less than filling. I sent an email to Canoe and they never responded, so I feel pretty guilt-free posting. I don't know whether this is now their trend or we caught the cook on a particularly miserly evening.

Sorry friend, but if you've been on the lake for any amount of time, and I know you have, then you must know you can NEVER get judgemental about service, food or prices during the stupidly long season called Bike Week.
LOTS of extra, ill prepared help, increased prices to make up for the mass quantity of people who will walk out on their tab(ask any restauranteur and they'll tell you they lose at least 15% of their tabs to walk outs or people who short pay their tabs), and poor availability of fresh and even frozen food deliveries because of traffic make that the worst time to offer critiques.
It's just not realistic to expect the usual service or food quality during that time of year....
