If you order the Prime Rib ask for an extra Au Jus on the side as the Yorkshire Pudding was dry. Very difficult to accommodate allergies (to be aware)... had advised this dinner was for a special birthday, given a terrible table which we asked to be moved. Honestly, the Keg or Hy's are better experiences. Service lovely but wouldn't return.

Unfortunately, the restaurant also acts as a corridor to the meeting rooms. We have been to The Cannery twice, and both times, the traffic through the restaurant was very heavy. The people walking through were very interested in staring at the diners! This is such a nice restaurant with a great menu. The traffic is a real shame.

The salad portions were ok, however, the main course portions were small for the price we paid. I did not make a scene, but we were the only coloured couple dining; and when we arrived, the waitress said she was having trouble finding seats, although we had made reservations earlier that day as the website showed there was availability for 7:30pm; which we chose. The waitress placed us in a corner behind a brick wall. The place was dimly lit. Another white couple came and they were placed opposite us in the light, where they were seen by other guests. Although we were first, we found that the white couple was being attended to before us; e.g., bringing replacement forks, and their meals came before ours. It was after looking around, I felt like our seat assignment was made on purpose, to sort of hide us from the other guests. I felt terrible, and would not visit there again EVER!!!

The second time we had the prime rib dinnerand the swordfish and they were both excellent. If you can, get placed at one of Derek's tables, he is the best.
