New, revamped Canoe restaurant

I have not been to the Canoe this season but, If the only complaints are about the seats for your ASS, yeah, they are doing alright

Some people need something to complain about!

Not complaining it’s just the only negative and it’s only in the screened in area downstairs. Everything else was excellent as usual.

That would help but if your BMI shows that you are obese, than this might be appropriate:
BYOC..

Bring Your Own Chair

Somehow it seems that any critique drives things into a rat hole. I thought Joey2665 was reasonable in his comments. Restaurants are about the experience...too hot, too cold or an uncomfortable seat are clearly impacting. I did not want to over emphasize the issue because the food and service are fine and I like Canoe. However, the chairs are so bad that when I reached under mine to pull it forward, a protruding screw cut my finger. My recommendation...just replace the chairs and move on...no harm no foul.

My advice to restaurants doing makeovers...DON'T CHEAP OUT ON THE CHAIRS!
Being 6'4" and 270, I find discomfort in many of them out there!
I don't go to Fenway park either...

Had dinner at Canoe last week. My husband had the Haddock and he liked it. I had a Veggie Burger. My burger was not good. It was very mushy and it broke apart. Next time i will get beef.

Funny! Sorry your mush sandwich didn’t satisfy...remember:

Vegetables squished together = mush
Beef = Burger

Visited the Canoe 2xs in the last two weeks and found the food, service, and new bar/seating area to be top notch and quite comfortable; Scott came to our table (on both visits) and inquired about the food and service.............

My wife had the Broiled Scallops, I had the Chicken Parmesan, and we also had our favorite calamari appetizer along with pork nachos.....................all were just outstanding!

Only one observation, the Calamari appetizer which used to be enough for two now barely feeds one.....same great taste, just a woefully small order!

Wishing Scott and his team all the best; we're planning on returning Friday night...........................WELL DONE!
