I was going to take my wife to Canoe's sister restaurant O's for her birthday. I was looking at their website and saw you could make reservations on line. Cool...
Reservations before 6 PM can be for any size party, with the default being 2 (two), just the perfect size for her and I. I proceeded to make the reservation for just 2 at 530, this being before 6 PM. I hit the enter or submit button and got a message that said my party size was smaller than the minimum for that restaurant and I could try a different restaurant. Not so cool.
I did this two more times and got the same response, so we took their advise... We went to El Jimador for Mexican and had a great meal and service. I'm sure they appreciated our approximately $80 business.
Sorry O's / Canoe.
