About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for brunch
The Canal Bistro is the realization of a dream for Mona and George Hanna. George's homeland is Egypt; Mona spent her first 23 years in Lebanon. They know Mediterranean cooking. George has been in the restaurant business for 22 years. And over the years, Mona watched her mother and grandmother cook for their big family from their own herb and vegetable gardens, learning the value of freshness in cooking.

George says. "It's been our dream to open our own place, to be creative with cuisine, and to have a family business that our sons can be a part of."

The Canal Bistro is that dream. "It's like you've come to one of our parties -- we've basically just moved our kitchen from home to here," they say. "We put the grill in the dining room because we want people to know that we are using top quality ingredients, and that freshness is our goal, so everything is done right in front of you."

So eat up, relax, be happy. You're eating in a dream come true!

    Excellent service, Mazza Plate was great appetizer. Spanakopita was tasty and browned to perfection. Moussaka was good (I would have preferred a bit more seasoning, but well done), and did I mention the service was great?

    Came for brunch and was really blown away with the flavor. Menu had a little bit of everything for everyone to try and none of the food disappointed.

    This restaurant is absolutely fabulous!!! The food is 5 star!!!! My only complaint…the food comes out too fast. LOL!!!!!!! We’ll be back to try EVERYTHING on the menu!!! Today we had, Saganaki, Garlic Feta Fries, Lamb Shank and Moussaka. It’s very refreshing to go out to a restaurant these days and THOROUGHLY enjoy the experience. The restaurant scene doesn’t seem the same as it used to be. Canal Bistro has renewed my faith that there are still great places to enjoy a meal out!!!

    Joe said he was a new Server but you couldn’t tell. He did a great job. The Gyro salad was great and had a huge amount of meat. Spicy tilapia entree was also very good.

    The place is nice but it isn't anything special inside. The food was good. We had the calamari and it was good but nothing special. The feta and garlic fries had a good flavor but I they were soggy and I like a crisp fry. My husband and I split the spicy tilapia and I thought it was delicious. It wasn't spicy but it had a good flavor and my husband really liked onions that came with it. The food came out fast and it was a good dinner.
