The Blue Canoe

A beautiful lakeview restaurant that we stopped by for our VT to MA fall foliage tour. Captured the delicious dishes, and I must say, to whatever you are contemplating to order right as you read my review, please go ahead and order your starter - my absolute favorite “Spicy Blue Crab Rangoon Gratin” - while you decide for the rest. Crispy Coconut Shrimp and Crispy Pork Belly Bowl(which was a lunch special for the weekend) was phenomenal as well. The servers and manger was very cordial and loved their service. To anyone looking for a relaxing and worthwhile dining restaurant, this is your spot!

5/5 All the way!! Opened 7 weeks ago and we did not experience any growing pains. They knocked it out of the park. From the food to location to great service. Opened year round with outdoor seating that is seasonal. Full bar. Nice selection of wine and great crafted cocktails. Looks cozy inside w room for a larger party. Started with the cornbread with maple butter. Soft with a crispy top and mouthwatering maple butter had me contemplating what else could I slather this on. Choice of lobster roll hot or cold. Reasonably priced at $36. Comes with fries or coleslaw. Husband ordered chicken sandwich and they accommodated his request for blackened Cajun seasoning. Dessert menu was lovely and we had the crème brûlée that did not disappoint. We sat on the water and it was a beautiful Fall day!!

My cousin and I optimistically launched the boat with black clouds looming and made it past the no wake marker in the harbor as we witnessed the first lightning bolt. We bolted back to the dock, tied up and ran to The Blue Canoe as the skies opened with torrential rain. Were we ever lucky! The staff gleefully greeted us as we came in out of the rain and happily told us to pick a table. Melissa came to our table and took the brunt of our silly dad jokes without a flinch. We knew we wanted to bide our time until the storm past. We ordered our beers and slow rolled our food order. Melissa was happily accommodating but I’m sure relieved when we ordered the Crispy Gochujang Chicken Wings to share. A friendly staff member casually stopped by and described the Chef’s wonderful obsession about mas

Beautiful outdoor seating area and very tasty lobster roll! We also enjoyed the coconut shrimp bowl, only slightly disappointed they didn’t have oysters when we stopped by. Otherwise a great hidden gem!

Juliette took care of us and couldn’t have been better. Her recommendations were spot-on, and everything we ordered was fresh and full of flavor. The cocktail list was clearly crafted by someone who knows what they’re doing — especially The Big City Cat, made with an amazing gin I’m already planning to buy. But what truly made the meal memorable was Juliette herself — warm, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. She turned a great dinner into a really special experience.
