At first glance, the Canyon Restaurant seems downcast. A small, dark area with faded, peacock-like curtains and a picture of a very sad clown, I must admit, I was quite skeptical. However, the food it emits is exciting and fresh. Canyon offers 25 items on its menu. 15 are appetizers; 10 are entrees. With moderately high prices ($44 dollars for the skirt steak special), I was hoping my money spent would be worth it. I wasn't let down.

Beautifully portioned, the cuisine was spicy, inventive and well-balanced. I myself tried the Kobe Beef, Smoked Salmon Tostadas, and their signature cocktail -- the Prickly Pear Margarita.
With a maximum capacity of only 69, 16 available tables, and dinner that starts at 5:30, “If you don’t get here by 6 p.m., be prepared to wait up to two hours,” says Erica, a loyal customer of Canyon for almost four years. "Everyone in South Florida should try this place."

The negatives? Well, the service wasn't so great. At first, I thought my guest and I were being ignored, and let's not forget about the horrible decor. My waitress did apologize, though. So, that softened my agitation.
However, the bottom line is this: Canyon's American artisanal menu has new additions almost every week. The portions are perfect, the presentation is great, and the food's delicious. In the end, that's what it's all about.
Grub on,
