Catwalk? Really. So that's what that is...
I was looking at this stage/runway/catwalk looking thing and I didn't want to look stupid, so I didn't ask or say anything. It all makes a lot more sense and I am so grateful for all of you who have guided me through my quiet questions.
I have been to Canal several times now. There are some things I love about it - the service is unquestionable - but I expect nothing less from anything that Fred Unger touches (e.g., The Hermosa Inn, Royal Palms), and I've never had a sub-par alcoholic beverage. My only real complaint is the green lighting in the dining room. It does nothing for anyone's appearance, and I can't imagine it complements the plating of food that has thoughtfully been placed in front of me.
All the same, sometimes places just have a good vibe and its not so much about the food or the cocktails - its simply about the company that you keep, the conversation that ensues and the memories that are made. I have a few good memories and a lot of laughter that's taken place at this strangely lit, albeit well served property.
