However, the chairs are so bad that when I reached under mine to pull it forward, a protruding screw cut my finger. My recommendation...just replace the chairs and move on...no harm no foul.

Thanks Jetskier, we are on the same page.

My advice to restaurants doing makeovers...DON'T CHEAP OUT ON THE CHAIRS!
Being 6'4" and 270, I find discomfort in many of them out there!
I don't go to Fenway park either...

Had dinner at Canoe last week. My husband had the Haddock and he liked it. I had a Veggie Burger. My burger was not good. It was very mushy and it broke apart. Next time i will get beef.

Funny! Sorry your mush sandwich didn’t satisfy...remember:

Vegetables squished together = mush
Beef = Burger

Visited the Canoe 2xs in the last two weeks and found the food, service, and new bar/seating area to be top notch and quite comfortable; Scott came to our table (on both visits) and inquired about the food and service.............

My wife had the Broiled Scallops, I had the Chicken Parmesan, and we also had our favorite calamari appetizer along with pork nachos.....................all were just outstanding!

Only one observation, the Calamari appetizer which used to be enough for two now barely feeds one.....same great taste, just a woefully small order!

Wishing Scott and his team all the best; we're planning on returning Friday night...........................WELL DONE!
