Dining @ Canyon Creek Chophouse

Normally I'd not make a post on a heavily-chained restaurant, but since I got a pretty good deal - spend $50 and get $25 off your bill coupon in my mail, I'd share this dining experience with you all.

First of all the restaurant was pretty packed when we arrived and we had to wait a bit even with reservation (maybe they all have coupons like mine too? LOL). The service was very friendly though. Bread came in a cone-shaped container and I liked how it was hot so butter could be melted easily.














One of us ordered a 3
course prix fixe meal (which was $30; but if you ate at the downtown location during these two weeks, it's only $25 as the Winterlicious price!), and the service was attentive enough to split the appetizer - which was a garden salad - into 3 smaller individual bowls for us without asking. However, the dressing for the salad was way too sour to be edible.




For mains, the c
edar plank salmon had a nice lemon white wine and tomato broth on it and the sirloin from surf and turf was juicy, tender, and seasoned well. The shrimps were big but were a bit tough on texture. The complimentary baked potato was a nice touch.

The pumpkin creme brulee had a nice flavour. Due to the discount, the bill averaged out to only $14 per person (including tax and tip)! As I was leaving, the lady at the counter gave me another coupon... $10 off when you spend $30. Not bad! I guess that's their way to gain customers when they lose regulars due to Winterlicious restaurants!

Food: 3.8/5 (their steak is pretty good!)
Service: 4/5 (attentive conside
red it's a chain restaurant)
Decor: 2.8/5


Location: Various location across the GTA.
