Candor consistently delivers good service and a nice selection of seasonal foods. We shared a starter and entree and imbibed on two speciatly drinks. We were not rushed and had a pleasant meal.

We didn't get to eat there because there were 2 servers for both the outside and inside areas. Many tables were seated at the same time we were so we couldn't even get place settings. Went next door to eat. Disappointing.

Candors offers something for everyone. The remodeled outdoor area is very inviting, the summer menu is outstanding, especially the pistachio pesto gnocchi, and the staff always tries to meet special requests.

Guillermo was such a wonderful server and made us feel welcome and genuinely cared for. His attention to detail was spectacular. We never ran out of water. He refilled our glasses for us often. He gave us fresh silverware for each entrée. We had Lamb Pappardelle, with fresh, homemade tasting pasta, and the lamb was cooked to perfection, and Fisherman’s Stew, so good I couldn’t stop eating the soup after we finished all the lovely seafood. Generous portion and everything cooked to perfection and seasoned fabulously. Had to zobble it up with the bread, then drink it with the spoon. Absolutely delicious. We started out with the fig salad and we both looked at each other like OMG! Why is this so good! Everything knocked our socks off. Just delicious. Carrot Cake was so good and different from any I’ve had. It wasn’t overly sweet, even though there was a lot of frosting. The frosting itself was smooth and creamy and did not overwhelm. It was a nice balance with the delicious spices of the cake and allowed those flavors to come through. Our dinner was truly a memorable experience.

The food and service were spectacular. The outside seating is perfect, and the waiter was knowledgeable with great recommendations. Will definitely come back!
It took a half hour to be served in a virtually empty restaurant.

Candor is one of my go to's. The quality of ingredients is something many restaurants compromise on, but not here. I also like the variety on the menu. This time I had the short ribs. I would have given the food a 5* but the garlic mashed potato's were not like their usual amazingness 😁. My man had the penne pasta and the sauce with fresh flavorful and perfect. So was the pasta. If you want a quality meal this is your place. And the service is excellent , even when they are busy they take the time to communicate and let you know you're seen. As a local when people ask me where to go — i send them here.

Candor has been a local stand out, and a favourite since the day it opened its doors. Giuseppe‘s team does an amazing job with seafood; the seafood stew is the best I've eaten anywhere in the world, and the broth is incredibly flavourful! The summer appetizers are innovative, light, and refreshing. The wines are expertly curated, and well priced. The impeccable service rounds out a delightful dining experience - Bravo Team Giuseppe!
