    We've been eating @ Canyons since it opened. The food is delicious and the service is always excellent! The ambiance is relaxed & the view of the ocean is usually magnificent. Caitlin was our server. She was very attentive and professional, as was the bus boy.

    Beautiful space. Great service. It was lively when we arrived at 6:45pm on a Monday! We were impressed by the ‘small plates’, but felt the daily special was underwhelming. Overall, it was a wonderful special occasion treat for me. I will be back.

    We are here 6 out of our 7 day stay. This restaurant was AMAZING. Ambiance is great, food was always spot on, service was over the top AMAZING! Kudos to our server, Shaddy!!! He made our dining experience for our friend and family getaway vacation so much better! He took care of us from day 1 and we just kept asking for him every single day. We even celebrated my husband’s birthday with Shaddy. We were traveling with a baby and a picky toddler. He was so attentive to our toddler and so accommodating, even asking if he should bring food out for the little one first. As a parent, this small but HUGE gesture meant the world to us. We dine out a lot and travel lots but he is the first server we’ve ever encountered to pay attention to our little one and care. We appreciated him going above and beyond for our family hence he’s a major reason why we kept coming back every night. The food was always amazing, and very reasonable costs. Thx again Shaddy for everything!!! Your friends from Seattle miss you!
