Had the Ahi Benedict, it was amazing! I had the spicy Bloody Mary, my husband had the pepper and garlic Blood Mary - both were delicious! I think having the pepper/garlic spicy, would have been perfection

Canoe House has been one of our favorites on the Island for several years. It is a perfect location for sunset dinners and an outstanding dining experience. Again, they did not disappoint. Highlights were perfectly done filet, swordfish and kampachi with garlic fried rice as a side. Wonderful flavors, well balanced, and perfect portions. Starters were corn ribs (a favorite ) and snap peas with goat cheese. Prices are at the higher end, but the value is spot on. We always try and eat here once during our trips to the island.
