  • Canoe Birthday dinner for two. With high expectations we made reservations for a special meal. They accommodated our dessert request with a plate that was inscribed with happy birthday and a lovely sticky toffee pudding that was the highlight of our meal. I WANTED TO START ON A GOOD NOTE BECAUSE THE REST WAS SO UNEVENTFUL! Walking in to Canoe my impression is that this is a well worn site the floor covering is old and seems torn at the door way ..The staff are dressed in ridiculous uniforms that look dated ,the lighting is dim and not in a sexy way and overall the space and furnishings are really nothing special.The view is spectacular. We are seated at an awkwardly long table for two that makes us feel far apart, the room is loud so its not comfortable to hear my partner. The service is very attentive and our waiter was accommodating but made no suggestions to the menu. We start with appetizers a dozen oysters and a venison TarTar The venison is described as being served with bannock for those of you who get excited by this yummy warm fried bread creation ..you can relax this version is a minuscule tasteless puffed cracker which i guess matched the tasteless cold venison it accompanied. The Oysters were presented in a flurry of explanation as to the locale and quality of the mollusk but in reality they were not that tasty, rather average in size and the cucumber relish that comes with it, tasted off. Moving on we are given a tasty iced granita to clear the palate..an unnecessary edition to justify the high prices maybe? I order the Bison as a main. At 50$ I expect a spectacular cut of meat and veg I am presented with 3 small uneven chunks of Grissel filled fibrous meat, the jus is barely there and the vegetable on the plate.. is ...I don't know what it is, its over cooked bits from the bottom of the roasting pan..potato? parsnip? hard to tell. My partner gets a small piece of salmon nothing special not that tasty also with barely there vegetables i think there was a piece of parsley. All I can say is thank god there was bread on the table and a very nice bean based spread, because this meal was NOT satisfying. 2 glasses of wine and a Caeser and over $240.00. Really Canoe? Do you think you can get away with this when there are such amazing restaurants in this town? I leave wondering, why do patrons put up with such mediocrity for such a high price? Big disappointment! We wont be going back or taking our Government business clientele there any time soon.
