I am in my 60s and the eight-course dinner we just had at Canis was genuinely the singular greatest meal of my life, bar none. When we first got there I thought it was a bit unusual that there were only two choices on the entire menu - a larger prix fixe tasting menu and a smaller one. Originally wondered about a restaurant functioning with such a limited menu. But that is the genius of it. For the chefs to just concentrate on the same complicated order rather than scatter their efforts and energies preparing dozens of individual a la carte orders, they get things down to a science and achieve near perfection. Every course had so many delicate subtle nuances with distinctive flavors and textures that there was a complexity to it. I got the feeling that this was a real labor of love. We sat at the chef's table overlooking the kitchen and it was a revelation watching this exceptionally happy looking staff practice their mystical art. Service was remarkably attentive and every course brought to us was given a fascinating description by the very diligent servers. This restaurant is a towering achievement.
