   As always the food was so flavourful and delicious We have a hard time risking going anywhere else when we know how awesome the Canteen always is

   One of the best tasting and beautifully presented meals I’ve ever had. Eager to return and eat through the whole menu.

   I had been hoping to go to The Canteen for some time now, and it was a lovely experience. Our server was attentive, personable, and took care of us. The food was delicious and offered so many local choices. I look forward to when we go back

   The menu was quite small but that is expected with all ingredients made at time of plating rather than frozen foods or sauces. We had 2 duck specials with beet risotto which were very good the other plate was the scallop dish off their menu. All of which were very good and did not dissapoint. The one cocktail we had was very good with nice flavors as they seem to use original recipes with thier cocktails. But this led to thier desert menue. This menue was simple but rather dissapointing compared to the rest of the menue. Creme Brulee which now is everywhere, A Brownie which was served cold and simply put was poor for what should have been expected. A carrot cake (booring and unoriginal). However the value for what we got was very good and i would go here rather than any chain restaraunt out there. Other than the deserts.
