My first time at Canoe was two years ago and I was a big fan of the view but not the food. More recently, I came for winterlicious 2018 and thought the food was much better than it was two years ago. I started with the poached salmon which was surprisingly large in portion and went really well with the mustard. My friend had their foie gras and I thought it went nicely with the berry sauce. I then had the beef short rib and thought that was good but not exceptional. For dessert, I had the poached pear, which came with a spicy sauce. It was good but wish I had gotten the trifle instead.
They were really busy but service could be better. Our mains took a really long time to get to us and we saw others that came in before us get served first. We also found an eyelash in the food and they dealt with it professionally.
