Dined here for lunch with some out of town guests a few days ago. Hostesses more interested in chatting and giggling to one another. Service from our main server was good, however the general feeling we received from all the staff was a holier-than-thou attitude.
Steak tartare (main course size) was excellent however the rest of the dishes were nothing to write home about. There are a lot of fantastic higher end restaurants in the city, not sure why Canoe always earns top marks (and I've eaten here many many times both for lunches and dinners). Perhaps the media writers suffer from lack of oxygen as the restaurant is literally up in the sky?
