What can be said about Canoe that hasn’t been said already. Amazing views. Amazing food. Amazing cocktails and wines. Amazing service. Canoe has been one of our favourites over the last few years, in no small part due to Chef Ron’s culinary knowhow and vision. Knowing that today was to be Ron’s last day we had to stop by one more time to partake in some delectable food, delicious beverages, and delightful service. (All from the best seats in the house, on the Chef’s Rail!) Many thanks to Sarah for the service. Thanks to the rest of the FoH team and of course the BoH team, all for taking such great care of us today. And of course, Chef Ron himself for the conversation, and years of wonderful culinary excellence. Chef, you will be missed sir!

I made the right decision. After years of wanting to experience this restaurant, I made it for a winterlicious dinner. Firstly, portion sizes did NOT disappoint. I was shocked. I was full before I got halfway through my main. The fried snapper and Guyanese curry absolutely deserves a spot on the main menu. I'm a curry snob and this was perfection. It will definitely stay on my mind. The drinks were really good. I had a Georgetown Gyal and before finishing the first, I ordered another. Our waitress, Nia, was excellent. She was attentive, cleared plates quickly and so personable. The music was great, and had me dancing and singing between bites the whole night. Clearly I'm passionate about food and dining, but this experience was truly top tier and have not a single complaint. KEEP THE CURRY!!! Thanks to everyone involved!

Really good service, we were in a rush at the end and the server was really accommodating on our schedule. We got the winterlicious menu and the food is fantastic as usual. The pork belly melt in your mouth 🤤 the restaurant is kinda loud considering the price range of the restaurant, but it helps that we have a bigger group and the seating is much less crowded than 2 people table.

The minute you enter Linny’s you know a lovely experience awaits! The ambience is gorgeous and service exceptional. From the menu, we chose the Friday Evening Special option as a way to taste many house favourites. So many delicious items!!! A tiny disappointment … our steak was chewy and more fat than protein. It was an expensive evening but one we all thoroughly enjoyed. A venue to put on the list for special occasions.
