    Aloha and happy holidays, We loved our experience at Badger and Co. drinks were delicious, the Gondola Glow made with orange slice instead of a lemon was the bomb, so good. We hard the pearl barley and Rocket salad to start it was delicious. The Chestnut Gnocchi was delicious. Our daughter had the buffalo chicken as her main and it was more than enough . My husband had the steak and haggis pie. Let’s just say the plate was clean. We finished with a wee brownie and the Christmas Pudding and it was fabulous. The mood was festive, service was fabulous and we would definitely come back. We loved that our server was singing Christmas songs as they came on just a few bars of the lyrics but it made it feel all that much more festive. The decor was amazing and we can’t wait to tell our friends about it when we get back to Hawai’i . Thank you for a wonderful meal. The Head Ohana

    My wife and I had a glorious 5 star dining experience at the Canny Mans. We chose the Christmas lunch menu which was fabulous in every way, its presentation, quantity, quality of food, superb value and the overall service was perfection. Fizz to begin was very very good, the beetroot tart starter is something we said we could eat every day, it was stunning. Main course was mouth watering and hot which seems obvious but we have eaten in restaurants where the food is luke warm and then isnt enjoyable, but this was so good!. The cheese board rounded off the meal just right. Bravo Canny Mans and 5 stars all round !!!
