    Highly recommend this restaurant We were a family of 10 and received the best meal and service of our vacation. Our server was friendly attentive and fun. The food was outstanding. There was live music that was enjoyable as background music. Not too loud and a talented musician. Only problem is they are so popular you need to reserve long in advance but well worth the effort.

    We booked a last minute reservation after our first choice fell through. We really enjoyed the food and the view! The family ordered grilled halloumi and watermelon for apps. Salads I recommend the burrata and papaya. For entrees I recommend kebabs, caccio e Pepe, branzino. The side of mushrooms went really well with the noodles.

    Canoe House is a special place. The food is truly remarkable. The setting is gorgeous. Our server Dean was outstanding. He really helped make the experience special. He knows the menu and all the ingredients in great detail and was flexible in the way we ordered - allowing is to get half orders of various dishes so that we could create interesting combos. The restaurant is very expensive without a doubt. But they deliver in every way.

    Both food and service were amazing. I was stuffed but the scallops were so delicious I a finished them anyway. Mahi mahi skewers were equally delicious. Indiana was our server and terrific. Would return in an instant. The bread they included at no charge which is rare these days was a treat, served warm and yummy
