Love the shoe and canoe! We work nearby so this is a nice place to stop in for breakfast, lunch or an evening bite. We had a super positive experience with Shelby as our server yesterday. She was upbeat and fun! Loved her energy! Keep it up Shelby. Another server that we really like is Cheryl. We’ve had Cheryl as our server at least a couple of times in the past. Cheryl is pleasant, attentive and provides fast service when on a time crunch.

A decent restaurant attached to a hotel, with good food and service. Not terribly exciting but does the trick if you don’t want to walk far or meet up with some friends. For additional 15mins walking or hired car can be at more dynamic place with greater range and depth.

We were looking for a quiet evening dinner after a long day however the playoff hockey game was on so it was very loud and not relaxing.

This is the second time we have been to shoe and canoe. We were off to the theatre afterwards and told our waiter so he was quite prompt in bringing our wine and food , just as before service was excellent. It was extremely loud in the restaurant as there was a huge group at one end of the restaurant, but other than that lovely service and lovely food.

Had a mid morning breakfast of sausage and eggs. The meal was brought quickly, 3 sausages, 2 eggs, 2 slices of toast and some greens. Typical fare. Ordered coffee (Starbucks I believe) and the quantity was very generous for the price. We had 3 cups and a larger take away cup and still some coffee in the carafe. We missed the breakfast rush intentionally.

Menu was small, but good variety. The food we had was really tasty and fresh. Service was terrific and fast. We were there for a work day lunch, and easily in and out in under an hour. I appreciate that they offer free parkade parking if you make a reservation, and it was easy to access. Beautiful lounge environment.
