   The appy's were all very good ( we tried them all) as well as the lamb and the cod dishes. Will definitely be going back.

   Service was kinda slow, food was plain (cod plate) , meat portions small ( chicken dish, and pork belly dish) and desert dull. We had a group of 6 , not suitable for a large group. Will not return for dinner . Three of us sent our cocktails back to have them remade ( I think they forgot the alcohol the Frist time) at $12 a drink , not cool.

   We brought friends to the restaurant (8) for Saturday brunch. Have been many times before without issues. This time however was horrendous. I seldom write reviews but this is an exception. 20+ minutes to get a coffee order in. Food took 45 - 60 minutes to come out. We sat there for a further 20 minutes after everyone had finished. 17 minutes on the dot for all of us to pay. Our waitress would just leave, and make us wait another 5 ish minutes prior to coming back. We were not informed gratuity was auto included with our party size. There was also no thank you, etc etc by said individual.. My favourite dish had undercooked vegetables with an overcooked egg. Bottom line, if you allow your standards to fall because you're busy, then expect to be less busy when people stop coming.

   Canteen has been our go-to for years now. We've celebrated there, bonded there and loved the food. And that seems to be changing. What was once near the pinnacle of food greatness in Edmonton is now a little saltier, a little less tidy -- worn around the edges (as it were) more than it used to be. Maybe it's some turnover in the kitchen; maybe it's a bit of complacency. Whatever the reason, I'd love to see more of that food pride back.

   First, we made a reservation, time was for 12 noon. Our table was not ready when we arrived (not their fault, we were early) so we sat at the bar and ordered a couple of coffees while we waited for the rest of our party to arrive. Took over 5 minutes to receive even though we were seated right in front of the person who was making the coffee. The noise level in the restaurant was quite loud when we arrived (all tables were full), my husband commented on it and I had to agree that it did seem excessively loud for some reason - maybe not enough soft furnishings to absorb sound. Once the other people in our party arrived, we were seated at the table, right on time as per the reservation that had been made. Server was friendly and quickly brought water to the table along with more coffee that was ordered. It took quite a bit longer for the food to come out - I'm guessing more than 15 minutes, but it was very good and we thoroughly enjoyed the meal. We would go back, despite the hiccups.

   Great service. Friendly and helpful and prompt. Nice cocktails and wine list. Good was outstanding. Great flavours in the fried cauliflower, Brussels sprouts (though I would have liked then a bit more crispy). We shared lamb shank and cod. Both fantastic. Mushroom risotto was tasty but small portion for the price. Overall very happy with our evening!

   Very noisy Made conversation difficult Food was great, server was very helpful with questions but The servers seemed too busy to manage and we waited several times for 5-10 minutes during our time there when we were ready for servers attention.
