A wonderful 5 course tasting menu and excellent attention to detail. Each course was presented explaining the dish. My only concern was not having a writeout so I could remember. A great experience.

We chose Canoe as a place to celebrate a special birthday. When I booked I shared my hope for the evening and the staff made everything come true. I wanted my partner to have a chance to enjoy our dinner with a beautiful view of the city and feel special. The staff welcomed us and prepared our table by the window, there was a Happy Birthday welcome greeting and then the service began. Our drinks, our food and our deserts were amazing. We could not have asked for anything more! It truly was a special evening. Thanks to all staff for going the extra mile.

Very impressive restaurant! First the view is second to none on the 54th floor with views of the CN tower and the financial district. To me the restaurant felt like a place for lawyers, financial people and anyone celebrating a special occasion (birthday, anniversary etc). This is a place for foodies. There is an open kitchen and a huge emphasis on presentation. The service is perfect, friendly, not too much, not to little and even able to answer any question regarding what I was looking at outside the windows:). The only caution is there is a very limited menu and the portion sizes are smaller than a typical restaurant, but again the emphasis is on presentation, taste, and the experience is truely top notch!

Amazing views. The food was very good too, but for the price I expected more.

The worst dining experience of my life. No one should spend their money at a place that advertises itself as “high-end” but delivers the opposite. Other than the ambiance from being on the 54th floor, everything else was a disappointment.
The fish was incredibly fishy, and I say this as someone who LOVES seafood. It tasted old and unpleasant. And the service? Even worse. Rude, dismissive, and full of attitude.
If you ever have to deal with a woman named Jane who claims to be a manager, be prepared to feel like you’re beneath her. She made us feel unwelcome, unimportant, and completely ruined what was supposed to be a special night with my fiancé.
This restaurant needs serious improvement in both service and food quality. I would never return, and I don’t recommend anyone waste their money here.

There is a reason this restaurant has been open for over 30 years. Located on the 54th floor the views were spectacular. No matter where you sit you will able to take in the beautiful city lights. The food was exceptional. Flavorful and tasty. I recommend an appetizer as one of the dishes we ordered, the portion was a touch too small. The steak was plentiful and delicious. The fries as a side with truffle dip...amazing! Dessert was yummy as well. The service impeccable. It is pricey but worth it. I can't believe it took me so long to go.

Service was slow. It took 20 minutes to get a drink let alone order food. Staff took notes to take your order and had zero personality. I don’t even know if they knew the menu as they made zero comment on it. I know they were busy on a Friday night, but if you can’t handle a busy night, then maybe don’t have that many parties or tables. Also I asked for drip coffee and they served Americano. Small things but this is supposed to be a top spot in Toronto. The temperature was also freezing in there. Overall this was a miss for me at a restaurant I really had looked forward to and wanted to very much like. In a city of 1000 restaurants I won’t be back.
Had a wonderful dinner - excellent food, beautifully presented in a timely but not rushed service by Nicholas, a long time server who really knew the menu and wine list Outstanding appetizers: best burrata ever. Scallop dish beautifully prepared and warm! The butternut squash risotto of orzo in place of rice with crispy kale as so amazing I could eat it every time, Excellent wine menu - from the very expensive to some true gems ! I cannot wait to return!

The canoe use to be one of my favourite places to eat. I recently went for lunch I was so disappointed from the service to the food to the loud atmosphere. We ordered lunch and drinks my champagne was very flat and not chilled I said I think this bottle was open for a while could I get another. The waiter came back said it was a new bottle. You could tell it wasn’t. Didn’t offer to bring a new one. No one filled our empty water glasses. Never asked if I wanted another drink. Food was ok wasn’t what I have had in the past. Waiter was not around much. Had our apps and the waiter said you lunch is ready we were not even done our apps so we quickly ate them and sat there and sat there for 20 min finally our lunch came. Didn’t clean our app dishes or offer us more water or more drinks. Was very disappointed but quick to bring our bill with a 20% tip option already picked. Won’t be back

We had a fantastic dinner here for my 30th Birthday. Kevin was our server and was fantastic, with great recommendations around the menu and also some great tips for us tourists visiting Toronto for the first time.
