We visited Canlis on Sunday for my husband's b-day. It took 50 minutes to get our food because (per our waiter) there was a party of 70 upstairs. (I would figure this is pretty common for December?). We got our coffee service right after dinner, but then it took another 10 minutes to even see dessert menus. Our waiter then told us that their specialty dessert takes 30 minutes to prepare? I think this should have been mentioned a bit earlier. We were so tired by the end, nearly a 3-hour dinner, that we didn't complain. The waiter did comp a dessert, but I would think this would happen normally on a birthday? Sadly, we didn?t have the ?Canlis Experience? that we were expecting... and deserve for a $200 meal.
