My husband and I have just come up this past weekend, opening up the house and letting that wonderful spring air in!! I haven't been on here in a while, but last night I spent some time reading the posts and I was a little taken aback by what I saw.

I agree with JDeere wholeheartedly. Its more than apparent that in an attempt to drive buisness to their establishment, Canoe seems to think that posting ravenous reviews on here, or having others do it for them will bring them more customers...I think this is wrong and it defeats the purpose of the board to begin with. How are we supposed to get an honest opinion? That's what the purpose of this board is all about! It just doesn't add up to me. And if they have resorted to having others post good reviews about them, it wouldn't strike me funny that they are having others post false information about buisness's in competition.

"Puffing" on a message board or furthermore slandering other buisness's is a very poor way to conduct buisness.

I myself have been to the Canoe and it was good, but it wasn't top notch. Of course the parking lot is jammed, they have 10 spaces at the most!!

I apologize, but I'm not at all impressed.

I am not sure what is making you suspicous of review posts? Which post are questionable?

I have been to Canoe and enjoyed it, because I give a positive review on a Restaurant that you may not have enjoyed, is my review now considered "puffing"? (I am not affiliated with canoe just curious about so called "puffing" posts)

My Posts are genuine and they come from someone who has no affiliation to any restaurant. I have not been compensated or expect to get compensated in any way.
Personally, the Canoe is one of my favorite restaurants in the Lakes Region. I haven't been to many others, but I know what I like. We will be going back again and again...
