We were able to get a seat outside for dinner, and that's where the service ended. Our waitress never said hello/hi/good evening just a lifeless, annoyed "what can I get you?" We got a sense early on service may be bad, so we opted to start with an appetizer and see if the service got better. It didn't. Didn't ask how the chowder was, but asked if we were ready to order more. The chowder was fine, but nothing special. But with the horrible service, I would not recommend this spot.

We…read moremade reservations in advance as suggested on the restaurant's website, and we were glad we did because the place filled up quickly shortly after we were seated. While we did find service to be a little on the slower side, we allowed ourselves plenty of time and were not particularly bothered by that. Our server was friendly despite being clearly quite busy. We both had the chicken tender basket, and while it certainly wasn't anything fancy, they were probably the best chicken tenders I've ever eaten. The batter was crispy and not too thick, and the chicken itself was some of the best I've ever eaten in terms of preparation. The fries were delicious as well, and we did not find the restaurant to be dusty/dirty or the prices to be horrendous as indicated in multiple other reviews. My biggest complaint, honestly, is that the lighting is very dim and could be problematic for some people. Overall we were very impressed and would definitely return in the future if we were in town for a show!

This is a pretty restaurant, and it was very close to where we were staying. It has a nice vibe to…read moreit. We enjoyed our meal here. The food was good, but it was very heavy. Portion sizes are pretty massive. My dining partner got the meatloaf dish. It was absolutely ginormous! We were in an Airbnb without a full kitchen, so though we took it with us, he never did eat it. It was heavily glazed with something he did not like. Had it been glazed with a little lighter hand, he probably would not have minded it. But he did not like that flavor at all. The mac & cheese was good but again heavier than he likes to eat. The seafood dish I had, on the other hand, was very good. It had plenty of pieces of lobster in it, as well as generous portions of shellfish. The broth was also excellent. As this is a pricier place, we only made one trip during our 13-day stay. It is worth a visit here, and you'll likely get enough for a second meal. There were lots of good choices on the menu. I originally thought to give this place 5 stars based on my dish, but due to the fact that my dining partner did not make any effort to eat the rest of his meal he took home because he said he didn't like it enough, that took a star away.

I'm going to start by saying I was extremely excited to try Canoe and I don't think I've ever been…read moreso disappointed. The only positive part of our meal was the appetizers. We were seated immediately and our drink order was taken quickly but took a long time to come out. Our appetizers came out quicker and honestly were amazing. We ordered canoe bread, grilled cheese and tomatoes, crispy orange chicken, and sweet and sour calamari. Everything was delicious and I wish we had stopped at appetizers. Next came salads; two of us asked for extra dressing and half our salad was gone before it arrived. We also had to ask for another round of drinks even though our cups were empty. Dinner took forever to come out and only six of our seven meals came out. We tried to wait for the final meal but it was taking so long and our meals were already cold, they came out cold. The final meal came out and the salmon was raw. My guess is they forgot about the salmon and tried to make it quickly. We sent it back and they literally threw it back on the grill but let the side sit. Every dinner was cold and the two steaks were over done and cold. Our waitress, Melinda, never once asked how it was. We again had to ask for another round of drinks which again took an absurd amount of time to come out. Here's the thing normally at this point I would have left but we were there celebrating my birthday and everyone wanted to stay for dessert to celebrate. Dessert was even more disappointing than our main meals. I ordered the cinnamon roll and it tasted store bought and wasn't even warmed up. Our table also ordered the carrot cake (more like half frozen spice cake), the chocolate chip lava cake (no lava), and the triple chocolate cake (meh). Again the waitress never checked in. We finally had enough and when I saw the waitress I gave her a card to run so we could be done I honestly thought it was going to take her forever to bring us the bill and luckily it didn't. $505.65 before tip. $505.65 and the majority of our meal was terrible. $605.65 after tip which was 20% and 100% not deserved. The cherry on top was a manager never came by after we sent raw salmon back and they left it on the bill. Personally I don't care so much about the money but the fact that a manager never came by is mind blowing. That's restaurant 101. I've never been so disappointed in a restaurant that truly started off so good.

The burgers were really good. They're similar in style to shake shack. Some other items were a little less exciting, and/or hit or miss.

My husband's filet mignon lacked flavor. The mashed potatoes were gummy and translucent. They should not have been served. My salmon special came out with the wrong sides, not once, but twice. They tried to give me those disgusting mashed potatoes and green beans, when the specials page said pilaf and asparagus. When I finally got the rice pilaf, it lacked seasoning. The asparagus were blackened. After being sent back twice, the salmon was warm, not hot. The pub food may be good. If you're looking for a burger and a beer, that meal might be enjoyed with a view of the golf course. Sorry Greenside, we're not coming back.

I will start off by saying that, if you get a seat on the patio, the view is incredible. However,…read morethat is the ONLY good thing here. The menu is extremely limited, less than probably about 14 items. When I asked if my lobster roll could be made without mayo, the cashier mentioned that it's already pre-mixed, so changes weren't possible. So much for fresh food! When we received our food, both dishes were bland and didn't have much taste at all, and only served with a tiny bag of vending machine potato chips, all for a whopping $34!! On top of that, the cash register also has a sign saying that 18% gratuity is REQUIRED and automatically charged, and still has the audacity to ask for additional tips. First off, this place is COUNTER SERVICE, there are no waiters or waitresses whatsoever. Someone brings the food to your table (like what they do at Chick-Fil-A), and that's it. No refills, no checking in. And, as shown in the picture attached, this place even has the audacity to ask you to clean off your table and sort the dishes! I could understand this if I DIDN'T already have to pay an outrageous "tip", but for 18% what are these people doing?? The answer is absolutely nothing, aside from taking your order and chattering between themselves. TLDR: The food is bland and not fresh. The staff doesn't do anything at all and still REQUIRES an 18% tip, and everything is way overpriced. Go literally anywhere else for a better time.

We ate here 3 times during our 13-day stay in the area. It was one of my favorite places. The…read morelocation has some great views of the lake, and it has quite an interesting menu. On our first visit, I had the Beet and Feta Salad with Grilled Salmon. It was fantastic, and one of my favorite meals of the entire trip. The salad was extremely fresh, with greens from local farmers. It was the best lettuce I've ever had, and when I tried to find out what kind it was, I wish told it was spring mix. It didn't look like any spring mix I've ever had, but it was such sweet, delicious and crunchy lettuce. The beets were also great, with both red and golden varieties. The salmon was cooked absolutely perfect. My dining partner got the Duck Confit Tacos. He did not care for that for a number of different reasons. In the first place, it should've been served on a different type of plate, as it was very messy and most of it was falling off the very narrow plate. He doesn't like a lot of mess. It likely would have been better had they left all the toppings off, to add them as you want them. There was way too much on top of the duck, which buried the taste. It was impossible to pick up, and very difficult to eat with a knife and fork. Plus they added too much cheese, and he doesn't like cheese much. It was not a dish he would order again. On our next visit, I had the Seafood Linguine. It came packed with fresh seafood with lots of mussels. It was a very generous portion, with plenty to take home for another meal. My partner had the grilled burger, which he quickly devoured. He said that was one great burger! On our next visit, we stopped in for a late lunch. It was a dreary, rainy day, and the weather was on the cool side. So we opted for soup. My partner got the Clam Chowder and I opted for the French Onion. They both hit the spot. My partner loved that burger so much, he ordered it again. I opted for a Grilled Veggie Sandwich, which was not as good as my salad choice a few nights earlier, but it was OK. All in all, we enjoyed all three of our visits here. I'd be happy to return again when in the area.

The salad appeared to have been dressed with apple sauce mixed with water(!) and nothing else, and the pork chop tasted of ammonia and some other chemical. It was dry and inedible. Took one small bite, even though the smell was entirely off-putting. Tossed in the trash at home. A very expensive experience for what it was. The one star is for the welcoming and amiable wait staff. In spite of the super cold dining room in which we were seated (some of the folks in our party, including me, resorted to wearing coats and hats during the meal to get warm!), they were cheerful and attentive. The cook did come out into the dining room toward the very end of the evening and put the wall-mounted heater on, which took some of the edge off the cold. Lastly, on exiting the building, watch your step! There's a drop of about 2 feet as you approach the door to the parking lot. Anyone with mobility challenges may be unable to navigate this and/or the black ice in the parking lot.
