Basic menu - bison burger was excellent but the white chocolate creme brulee was too sweet and sickly for my liking. Table I sat at had not been cleaned properly beforehand so I had to ask for that to be done. Otherwise a pleasant place to eat.

Service with Sydney was great. Food was well prepared - one of the best Pappardelle dishes I’ve had outside of Italy. The noise depends on the number of guests present. Happy hour could use a few more appetizers. Overall a great place to unwind, party a little, or have a great meal.

Fabulous service, food & drink!!

Had Breakfast and lunch here. Food was fresh, delivered quickly. Homemade dressing (maple vinaigrette) was light and delicious. Homemade jam with breakfast.

Great overall experience

I had been looking forward to trying out Shoe and Canoe for a while but it was quite disappointing when I did. For starters, there was a strong smell of cigarettes that was wafting into the bar area. We switched seats to the lounge where the smell still lingered. While the servers apologized for forgetting about us in the lounge (no menus, no service) what really got me was the manager’s lack of understanding of the drinks menu. He didn’t know what the beers were with regards to their popularity or their flavour profile. All he could tell us was that it was who it was brewed by. The whole experience made us decide to continue our night elsewhere which was quite disappointing and frankly unacceptable. The two stars are because their service was still decent given how busy they were. Won’t be coming back here though

Nice, bright open space. Our server was excellent.

We really enjoyed our meal and service.A portion of the Barclay burger is being donated to a Ukraine fundraiser so I opted to order it. Moist and delicious Bison patty topped with a jalapeño bacon jam. My friend raved about the chicken on her caesar salad.We had seen when this restaurant was built just hadn't made it down until an industry event took place here. We'll be back.

Mother’s Day celebration for 3 people. Great food, nice ambiance, service was average. Price if buffet was outrageous. Price of food on the menu was reasonable.

Place was so under staffed. Their servers did everything they could have. Kitchen was way too small for the size of the restaurant. We waited over an hour to order our food and over another hour to get it. We were about to walk out when our food finally arrived. At least one other table walked out for the same reason. Food was not very good either. I had the Philly cheesesteak, more like a beef dip, meat was so dry and over cooked. Best part of it was the bun. Will not go back
