The Paper Canoe

"Top of the list for best restaurants we have been to! The chef is definitely a genius and an artist. From the outside this place looks ordinary and unpretentious, weathered wood siding, stone parking lot and outbuilding scattered with seafaring gear. Arriving at the steps the entry is surrounded with potted flowering plants and very welcoming…just inside the lobby is tiny and the hostess is there to greet you. The inside space is nice, nothing fancy but comfortable for sure. A mix of tables and booths fill the room, many with Sound views. The service is excellent. The cocktails are generous and creative. The menus is minimal but covers it all…seafood, pastas, meat and vegetarian. The food is truly amazing! Beautifully presented and so flavorful…def made with passion and skill! Go Here."

"One of the best meals we’ve had during our stay. When you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and the staff are welcoming. We sat in the bar area and had a great view of the sound. The food and drinks were on point! Great spot for family of a date night out, highly recommend (make reservations)"

"The food is mostly excellent. The bread is amazing. The oil and balsamic is really done well. Everyone enjoyed their apps - 2 salads and 2 fried fishes. The entrees were strong but the Chicken Kiev was dry. The wagyu was worth the $99. The location is near the water but cars park between the building and the water. So, it’s nice if you park there and not off the road. We caught the sunset because of where we happened to find a spot. It’s loud in the place. Music is loud. Little sound mitigation. Finally, the service. Dishes were left long after we were done. Entrees were brought out before apps were cleared. Then they started clearing entree dishes before everyone was done. Needed to ask for new knives. The waiter really didn’t care much - clearly he isn’t an unemployed actor who can act like he cares. For some reason, he seemed sad to find that I was in charge of payment. LOL The Paper Canoe could be excellent. But it has a ways to go."
