Ignore the bad reviews! From the attentive, friendly, conscientious and thoroughly helpful service provided by server extraordinaire Giancarlo, to the magnificent view of the lake, islands, and CN Tower, to the delicious bread and complimentary cookies and tiny cakes, to the beautifully presented AND extraordinarily tasty dishes, my celebratory lunch with a friend was one of the best I've had in Toronto--and I've had many! I especially enjoyed the maple cured salmon + fogo island crab, while my lunch companion's pasta special with mushrooms and pickled rutabaga was deliciously rich. I can't wait to come back to taste other offerings on the menu! Bravo, Canoe!
