    The food was good, but the ambiance leaves a lot to be desired. More like eating in a catering hall than a restaurant. Very drafty too.

    Valentine’s Day prix fixe meal was nice. Received a champagne toast while waiting for our table. We were seated far away from the music and fireplace and just off the kitchen traffic so it wasn’t ideal but we probably could have asked to wait for a better table. Ambience was nice and the wait staff were courteous and helpful even though they appeared to be rushed and understaffed. The Dover Sole with Stuffed Langoustine was excellent. The filet in the Steak Oscar was tough and chewy so would recommend avoiding that if served again. The cheesecake dessert was rich and delicious. Also, the discounted red wine selection was excellent. We went with the Austin Hope Cab Sauv which is always a great choice. Overall we had a nice time.

    Booked the valentines dinner. On arrival was presented with a rose and champagne. A nice touch. There was a photo booth and lots of decorations that looked like they were from Oriental Trading Company. More in line for a kids party than a romantic dinner. No decorations would have been better Served us a pretty basic salad. It was fine, but nothing interesting. We had the Steak with Crab and the Dole/Lobster Langoustine. The entrees were good, probably a 3 out of 5. And then the dessert was an average cheesecake with a bunch of white chocolate added to it. Too sweet. We peeled off the chocolate but the cheesecake wasn't really worth the calories. No bread was served which seemed strange. Comparing to other fixed price menu's I have had such as Market Grill's $79 one this was definitely a disappointment for our romantic evening. Luckily, waiter was nice, and food came out quickly so we could get on with the other things we had planned. However the waiter made the experience feel very common, waiters can really make a dinner feel special by how they approach their guests, that is why the stars were low for service. But he didn't do anything wrong.

    Really need to increase the selections of food. There was not cooked fish, gravy but no biscuits. Would have been great to have some peel and eat shrimp instead of the ceviche. A pasta dish would be a nice addition. What happened to the desserts? You could loose the guitar player and up the brunch price $10 dollars to afford more selections. I've been coming there since before the pandemic and it was a lot better.

    The return of their alll-ypu-can-eat buffet on, apparently, select Sundays was what attracted me. Really high quality food sets the Cantons buffet apart and it is well worth what they charge for the gorgeous setting and food. I hope the buffet returns as a weekly feature rather than just an experience.

    Food is excellent as always. The service is way under par for an establishment like this one. Had to go into staff area to look for a waiter. Not sure if there is a manager for this restaurant but it seriously needs to step up its game. Highly recommend the food, but be ready to order when a waiter appears. Second time eating here. Same lack of service.

    Canyons was perfect for our Sunday Brunch. We were seated promptly at the type of table requested. They have a good selection of breakfast and lunch dishes, as well as drinks, including adult beverages. The quality and quantity of the entrees was excellent. All three in our party took food home. The dining room is fairly plain, but the surrounding view is fantastic, overlooking part of the on property golf course. We enjoyed the experience much better, prior to Covid, when Sunday Brunch was buffet style, but I have no complaints on the current style either.

    Our first time here and it was such a pleasant experience. We had an early dinner on the patio and enjoyed a gorgeous sunset, cozy heat lamps, yummy (and generously portioned) food, with excellent service from Brandon. Extra points for the 70s/80s nostalgic radio station. Big yes and we shall return when in the area!

Things have changed since covid so we do not offer the buffet every weekend, however, we do offer our brunch buffet on special occasions and for holidays such as Thanksgiving and our upcoming Santa brunch in December. We appreciate you choosing to dine with us in the first place and we hope to see you again on one of our buffet days!

    So happy that things are back to normal. We have come here the last 2 weeks and it's a noticeable change from the 2 previous weeks. Our service and experience was what we expect and why we continue to go back. Good job, Canyons on taking feedback and making corrections. Of course, we will be back!

    I have to say, the last 2 times that I have gone to brunch here (the last 2 Saturdays), service had not been good. Last week the waiter had a lot of tables inside so it took him 45 minutes to take our order (including our drink order). This weekend the waitress was great at getting our order but then things started to fall apart. It took 45 minutes to get our food and when we did you could tell that my hamburger was under the lights for awhile because it was hard and the French fries were old. We have had many great experiences here and hope the last 2 weeks were just a fluke. We have another reservation for 2 weeks from now so hopefully, they will get everything back to good service and quality food.
