| - My husband and I were on the prowl for a new restaurant when we realized our current dinner reservations were for a restaurant where steaks were ~$75+. Being that we haven't harvested our money tree just yet, we were looking for something tasty but more affordable.
I could kiss my husband a thousand times for finding Canyon Creek.
We walked in and were seated right away, and promptly greeted by a super enthusiastic and chipper waiter who's name I've unfortunately forgotten. Given that the husband and I are jovial folks, we hit it off with our waiter. It probably helped that he praised all of our selections and told us we wouldn't be disappointed.
He wasn't wrong.
First, let's talk about the bread. It was a small loaf of whole grain wrapped up in a white cloth, and it was warm and soft with a chewy crust. And the butter? Sweet baby Jesus the butter. It was a honey butter, I think, but I don't care- all I know is I slathered it with reckless abandon upon my bread and devoured 2 pieces in record time.
Next, we ordered the Asian nachos for an appetizer. I thought the bread was good? PSHAW. The Asian nachos punched the bread and butter situation in the face. There were 6 long, rectangular wontons covered in chicken, some sweet but spicy sauce, vegetables, and cheese. Oh man. It took a lot of restraint for us not to polish off the plate, but I had my eye on dessert.
Our entrees arrived, and I got the clubhouse sandwich w/skinny fries, and the bearded half got the bacon cheddar burger. Both sandwiches had bacon and cheese on them, so naturally they were awesome. Being from the states, I really appreciated that the chicken on my sandwich was a reasonable portion and not a thick, huge piece like we'd have at home, which would force me to unhinge my jaw just to take a bite. I didn't love the fries, but that's not on the restaurant- they're crispy shoestring fries, and I love me some some mushy fries.
Lastly... The crown jewel of our meals: dessert. I ordered the banana coconut cream pie (which is like my Peter Pan happy thought now), and my husband ordered the maple bacon butter tart. His was tasty, because bacon, and mine... Mine was like a banana made sweet love to a coconut and this pie was the result of that holiest of unions. It was all my dreams come true in a pie- the pie I never knew I was missing. It was light and fluffy and in a cute jar. I relished every bite and took my sweet time, growing sadder and sadder that our time was coming to a close... I destroyed it anyway. No regrets.
All that to say, we *loved* the restaurant, and next time we're in town, we'll absolutely be going. The waiter and food were awesome. What more could you want?!
