Canoe

I don’t recommend this place if you have any dietary restrictions. Our party had one gluten free person and one dairy free person (me); these are restrictions that are typically pretty easy for restaurants to accommodate, but neither were accommodated well here. For dairy free: there were no options on the menu and I asked if they could make any options dairy free. I was simply told to order the chicken because it had “less dairy than other items” and they did not offer to make it for me without dairy. I asked if they could make anything dairy free and they said they could only make the salad dairy free. I am left to assume that they pre-cook items in mass and that’s why they cannot accommodate like most other high end restaurants. For gluten free: there was only ONE item that was gluten free on the menu; this person asked if they could swap sides with other dishes to make her dish of choice gluten free. They initially told us no and our waitress had to go talk to the chef several times (delaying our ordering by 30 minutes) but they eventually came up with an accommodation. Food itself was hit or miss: some items were phenomenal, others were dry or bland. I appreciate the service and our server trying really hard to accommodate us, but unfortunately, we will not be back. I think canoe should be more transparent that they do not offer accommodations moving forward to save customers and staff the headache. We liked the ambiance but the inside was packed and very loud, I could not hear people at the other end of my table.

My husband and I went for our anniversary and were very pleased with everything. I have a gluten allergy which was accommodated for and the server took seriously. Our server's name was Frank. He was super attentive and just all around great. When the staff found out we were celebrating our anniversary everything was geared around that. The place is expensive but well worth it.
