Editorial Review for Canoe – by Sue Ostermann-Lenz

The Scene
The rustic, elegant decor is nearly outdone by the stunning view of the Chattahoochee. The dining room mixes lodge atmosphere with modern touches: ironwork accents, a ceiling inverted to resemble the inside of a canoe, and an exposed kitchen. Service is warm and attentive. A dressy casual crowd meets here to celebrate special occasions and enjoy the patio in nice weather.

The Food
Chef Carvel Grant Gould reinvents the New American menu every few months, mixing and matching seasonal ingredients with aplomb. Parsley creme fraiche balances the earthiness of wild mushroom soup. Sliced, diced and pounded tuna is fresh, with a mild sesame-mustard dressing. An entree of bacon-wrapped monkfish is a sublime mixture of salty and sweet; huckleberries complement the smokiness of roasted venison. To finish, a trio of creme brulee succeeds with coffee and vanilla.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

From the moment I pulled up in the parking lot of Canoe I knew it would be an exceptional experience. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. Some upscale restaurants are stuffy and stiff but that is definitely not the case with Canoe. It was very relaxing and enjoyable. The decor was warm and it was definitely a romantic setting. I told the waiter qualities I enjoyed in wine and he recommended a wine that was exceptional. The food was the best food I have ever eaten in my life and that says a lot coming from a "foodie". I have eaten at upscale eateries across the country and they pale in comparison to Canoe. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Canoe for any event or just a night out!

Pros: Everything!

Cons: Little pricey

i am 19 and a constant customer of canoe. i recommend sitting at the bar for the best service, the tenders are always freindly and full of energy, and they will do their best to make your meal enjoyable. great scenery only adds to wonderful and inventive dishes. sitting at a table is just not as enjoyable as the bar and the winelist is always good. i recommend this if you have some time to spare food does sometimes take a little while to appear but it is always worth it i will continue to return often and can only recomment that you make this your stop for food.,

Pros: great service, great view, wonderful food

Cons: sometimes lengthy serve times, can be a tad expensive
