   We visited Canoe for a birthday and it was perfect. We sat at the kitchen bar and had a great view of a well oiled machine. The food was delicious and the wine paired perfectly. Highly recommend.

   It was a fantastic experience. We got the tasting menu. The presentation and flavour was incredible. The chef needs more love for sure! The fact he uses everything from the source of what you eat and most are probably are not aware is so appreciated. Amazing menu, staff and views! Would definitely return!

   The wine was outstanding and the view was breathtaking for sure. The server was very polite and helpful. I would love to say the prices match the food but unfortunately they did not. Most of the plates were lacking flavor and it was a bit of a let down. I would come back for the experience but definitely not the food.

    Canoe has been a restaurant my wife has wanted to go to for quite sometime. We had opted for the tasting menu. We were seated at a table with an amazing view of the CN Tower. Our server was amazing throughout the night, very prompt service. This is a VERY different kind of menu in terms of flavours and items. Our favourite items were the onion soup, the lobster tail, venison tartare and the atlantic oyster with the cured bison. The Foie parfait was too overbearing for me with the filet item and the game tea that comes with the tartare was a bit out there. In the end, I would return and try their dinner menu due to their exceptional service and ambience. That view is breathtaking while enjoying your meal.

    Great table and lovely dinner. Spoilt at the end as guests sitting next to us rearranged their seating and we’re really close to our table, this made us want to leave rather than stay for coffee / aperitif.

    An incredible view with delicious food to match. Our server, Nick was simply amazing and made our experience even that much better. We had come from Vancouver for a foodie trip and this was the highlight of our week even though 2 nights before we had spent 3 times as much at another restaurant which had turned out to be more hype than anything else. The food was original and beautifully presented. We’ve added Canoe to our next doodie trip to Toronto.

    We did the tasting menu. It was exceptional. I have been to the restaurant before and the most noticeable improvement is in the cocktail menu. Nice to see a place with fantastic food finally having a cocktail program to match.

    We were celebrating a milestone in my daughter's life. Overall the ambiance,was breathtaking with limitless views of the city and the decor and atmosphere was stellar. The foods presentation was exquisite and a delightful gastronomic experience! My daughter ordered surf and turf and I ordered risotto. The table seating was somewhat awkward for me. I was seated at a table with two chairs. One chair was facing the window so the view could be enjoyed and the other was not . It would have been wonderful for both diners to have an equal view which could have been arranged by repositioning the chairs . The one big downside was our waiter. He seemed very robotic,, pushy, lacking charm, class and timing. His suggestions were unusual to me. He did not give us very much time to peruse the menu and kept coming back to see if we had made a decision. When we had close the menus and we're waiting for him to come to take our order he did not. We had to beckon him to the table to order although he was very close to our table. When I ordered an appetizer because I still needed more time to think about my main course he asked me to decide there and then about my main course. To me that was very offsetting. When the bill was presented, I paid with cash and instead of having my change returned to me my waiter strong suggested that I should make up my mind about his tip there and then which made me feel uncomfortable and also intruded our conversation and repore. I suggested to him to return my change and then I would figure out his tip.

    The server was nice. Interior was nice. Not a loud place, which is good. View is nice. However, I asked for a table near the window, but we were seated in the middle. The food was TERRIBLE! tasteless dishes for a high price. Cocktails were bad as well, 70% of it was ice. Would not go there again.

    A nice place to celebrate an important occasion We were celebrating a birthday, and did not go for tasting menu. Even though the dress code was suppose to be a business casual they were more people in rather casual than business. The food was mostly good, some of the sauces were interesting but not for everyone. We did not luck out on the weather so could not see much from the window and enjoy much of the view. However, the evening got an interesting turn when we left the building. Both of us felt a sudden pain in the epigastrium and within 30-45 mins after the visit only one of us was able to hold the food. We are not sure what specifically triggered the reaction but the impression of the high end restaurant definitely got spoiled.

    The food was reasonably good, but not that great. Having tried 3/4 desserts, they were all not that great, and some were not very good at all or exceptionally small. Service was reasonably good, but far from exceptional. The place and views are gorgeous and convenient of course. Overall, an enjoyable evening, but fairly poor value.

    We went to Canoe twice, really loved it the first time and decided to go back again. First time we loved the seafood platter, I had a risotto and tarte au sucre was amazing. So we went back a year later for our anniversary and were really disappointed. We ordered four starters, and they were truly meh. Nothing you’d describe as delicious and no savoring every bite this time. Main courses were basic too, I had partridge which was simply not tasty, too many strange bitter flavours in one plate. I’m not hard to please, but the taste of the food was just not good. The only meal I truly enjoyed was the same tarte au sucre that I had a year ago - their dessert menu hasn’t changed at all in one year. The service was very basic, the waiter wasn’t friendly. We looked forward to this experience but won’t be back again.

    Always an amazing experience. The view the food and service. All top shelf. My only issue what the overall texture. Not sure soft mashed under a fish works as well as it could have.

    There were some tooth cracking things in the scallop dish, which taste really awful. The staff told me that it’s semolina, but it tastes bad anyway. Definitely not worthy and bad experience

    Phenomenal meal. We had the eight course tasting menu at chefs rail and thoroughly enjoyed watching the expert chefs brigade doing their thing. Paired with great wines and top service. Also fun dining in the clouds during a snow thunderstorm. That was a first! It’s obviously a bit of a bank breaker and not a regular for most people’s wallets. But for a romantic treat, it’s top drawer!
