Canoe — Restaurant in Greenwich

I have been here on multiple occasions and every time I have enjoyed a pleasant experience.

Usually, I drink water with each meal but I've drank the coconut mojito and the sangria, both were delicious. The coconut mojito had a delicious mint flavor and people who don't enjoy coconut would enjoy this drink despite its name; the coconut made the drink creamy but didn't overpower the taste. The sangria was light and refreshing, a good fruity drink.

Every time I go I try out new appetizers and each of them has been amazing. The oysters were fresh and clean. The tuna sandwich was an interesting and creative concept that was delicious. The fried calamari was always crispy and not overcooked. Grilled octopus had a nice char on them and the Brussel sprouts were good. Personally, the Brussel sprouts were my favorite. They always cook them well and the balsamic glaze makes any picky eater want to continue eating.

The canoe burger was a classic and good for people who like meat rather than seafood. Some other classic foods that you can't go wrong with is pasta; the fettuccini is delicious and if you want to venture out, the squid ink pasta is just as good. The skirt steak is always tender and they know how to cook medium rare well. The chimichurri sauce was delicious and added so much flavor to the meat. My personal favorite was the seafood risotto. Once it came out, I was already salivating. The first time I tried it I was too impatient and ate it when it came hot from the kitchen. There was so much seafood and the risotto was creamy. Personally, I am not a big fan of risotto but the way they cooked it was delicious.

If you aren't full after all the food, the desserts are good to try too. The Napolean was good and light. The crème brûlée was delicious, a good option if you want a heavier dessert that is more creamy. The monkey bread was also good, a more carb-loaded desert. My personal favorite was the pistachio and ricotta cheesecake. The cheesecake was creamy and rich. The pistachio added a nutty flavor to the desert, which helped cut out the richness of the cheesecake.

Overall, the atmosphere is warm and the interior and staff definitely help with that. You can tell how dedicated both owners are and how polite they are with their customers. Around me, I see regulars of varying ages that come back for the food. Furthermore, even though I haven't tried the full menu yet, I believe that all the dishes can serve to any person, either picky or with an advanced palette. Also, it is fun to try out each item every time I go since I have had a pleasant experience with the...

We came here for brunch on a rainy Sunday afternoon as a party of 4. We had a reservation because we heard they get pretty busy but it was pretty empty inside. They have both inside and outside dining but we of course chose to sit inside. Including us there were 3 groups there while we were ordering and the service was SO slow. It took over 30 minutes for our food to come out which was super frustrating given that the other 2 groups were already served. We ordered the goat cheese wontons (delicious), crispy chicken wrap (not very crispy but overall it was fine) and a side of truffle fries (really good!), Peking duck tacos (so good and crispy) with a side of Mac n cheese (pretty good), salmon tacos (I heard good things), and kitchen sink omelette (looked burnt to me but I also heard good things). The salmon tacos were supposed to come with a side of fries or salad and didn’t come out with one. So we asked and the guy was a little frustrating about it. Overall the place was nice, the food was good, but I wouldn’t go hungry because you’ll...

Had dinner at Canoe yesterday evening, and I cannot speak more highly of the staff, drinks, and food.

We were greeted by Ken (or Kane?), the owner's husband, and he was incredibly kind and inviting.

The drinks were very well-poured and worth the money, which is a FAR CRY from many other establishments that clearly short their pours in order to save money. I would come back here JUST for the integrity of the drink pours.

The food was absolutely on point. The mixed greens we had was sprinkled with the most BEAUTIFUL ginger truffle dressing, and it was out of this world for what would otherwise still be a quite lovely (but normal) salad. It elevated it in ways that are hard to describe. I had the burger, which was perfectly cooked, and I ordered it without the bacon so it was a little plain but the meat was so perfectly cooked that I do not care in the least.

We will be back, absolutely...
