    Ben was our waiter & somm - amazing energy as soon as we arrive. We went with the “Let Alma Guide You” option and they didn’t disappoint. You don’t need a 200 item menu, full cocktail bar and 500 wine bottle selection to enjoy a restaurant. I was impressed.

    Canoe celebrates the Canadian food experience with locally and Canadian-sourced choices expressed in a True North manner. Our Taste Canoe featured smoked oyster and venison, fois gras-cured lamb, butternut-sweet potato-anise soup (surprise!), sturgeon and shrimp tortellini, lobster, veal, Granny Smith apple-verjus (delightful palette freshener), carrot cake-ice cream-maple syrup-black garlic, petit fours. The pairings were spot on, and discussions with our somm (I didn't get the spelling of his name, but it's pronounced U Gee) indicate an adventurous take on the meal. Our server extraordinaire, David, delivered a superb performance (ask him about his love of hockey). The staff are passionate about what they do and it shows in their presentation of the courses. Our table's clear view of the lake and downtown made our anniversary extra special. With views like these, it's like dining in an art gallery. We'll return again next year!
