    Overall, we enjoyed our dinner at Canoe House. We started with the Shokupan Pull-Apart Bread. It was unique and tasty, obviously fresh from the oven. The seaweed butter was too "seaweedy" for my taste. The bread alone was great. We also had the Fresh Catch, which was Snapper that day. It was flavorful and not-at-all fishy. It was served with tatsoi kimchi, which we did not like at all -- maybe it's an acquired taste. We also ordered the Warayaki Tuna. When it is served, you get a bit of a show! They "cook" it right in front of you -- it's hay smoked and seared. The pieces were much small than on the website, but still filling. I can't decide if I prefer my tuna sashimi completely raw or fully cooked -- this was something in-between. I would not order it again however. Dessert was okay (I can't remember what it was called). But, honestly, it had too many tastes competing -- coffee, sesame crumble, cookie, banana and cream. What do they say about creating a dish then remove one ingredient to make it perfect? Service. It was impeccable. The hostesses were friendly and engaging. We had Ian as our waiter and he was a marvel. He never hovered; he explained the menu well, offered opinion when asked, and was overall attentive. HE gets FIVE STARS!

    Excellent Thanksgiving buffet with oysters, shrimp, mussels, crab, prime rib, ham and all the traditional Thanksgiving fixings. Dessert was off the chart. The star was the maple macadamia nut tart. Beautiful beach view.

    Had some sushi rolls and the hamachi nigiri. The rolls were fresh, delicious and beautifully prepared. Hamachi was melt in your mouth. Service was warm, friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.
