"1"^^ . "Popped by Canteen earlier this week before seeing \"Once\" at the Royal Alexandra. It's worth noting that they do not take reservations for small parties (of less than 6.) We came by around 6pm and the wait time for a party of 4 was approximately 20 minutes. However, since this was an approximate wait time, and not a perfect science, it ended up being about twice that amount of time. Good news is, the staff working there are super accommodating. They asked us what time our show was, and said they would do whatever it takes to make sure we were seated, happy and well fed, and out in time for our show. Lucky for us, this was the truth!\n\nThe food here is AMAZING, and extremely well-priced for the location. It came out SUPER fast after we ordered since they knew we were on a time constraint. Here's some of what we sampled:\n\nChicken Soup - yummy flavours and perfect for a cold evening.\nBBQ Spiced Fries - LOVED these! The BBQ spice with the steaming hot fries and ranch dressing is addictive and a nice play on what can be a boring side dish.\nGnocci with braised lamb - the gnocci was perfectly cooked - nice and soft and moist. The lamb was extremely tender and delicious.\nMaple Glazed Salmon - again, cooked to perfection. The glaze was amazing.\nPeach Juice - sooooo fresh and more of a smoothie/puree consistency.\n\nThe staff are super friendly and sweet. They also wear shirts with Mad Gab-like puzzles on the back, so trying to figure out what their shirts say in the amount of time when they have their back to you adds some fun to the evening, :).\n\nOur experience here totally blew away all of our expectations. Will definitely back my way back here next time I'm in the area for a show!"^^ . "2013-12-14T00:00:00"^^ . "1"^^ . . . . "1"^^ . "4"^^ .
