| - I went here for Winterlicious lunch ($28 + tax and tip) on a weekday - wasn't too busy. Service was excellent. Began with a cinnamon lemonade - it was interesting, kind of tasted like a Christmas lemonade. To start, I had the sheep's milk curd. It was plated beautifully, but the portion was in reality very minuscule. It tasted pretty good, the cranberries with the nuts and soft cheese really came together to form an elevated flavour combination. For my main, I had the baked blue sea bream. Again, small portion, but the fish was cooked perfectly, with a crispy skin, and the mustard aioli was on point. For my dessert, I had the panna cotta. It was very light and refreshing, the pistachio cream was really good - not too sweet, true to pistachios. I also had some of the butter tart, which is apparently Canoe's special dessert. The ice cream was great, but there was some weird jelly on top that did not add to the tart at all. It was a pretty avant garde dessert, and I'm a butter tart traditionalist so I didn't like it much. Overall, it was a great lunch, well worth the price! Canoe is definitely a safe bet for Winterlicious, year after year. Oh, and of course the view is AMAZING!
