The Canoe Club has a very creative seasonal menu featuring many fresh fares from the local seafood selection. The roasted oyster appetizer was particularly good, as was the black grouper. The desert menu was limited, and some of the food was overly creative to its own detriment, where it looked amazing, but the flavor didn't match the visual appeal.Vegetarian options: Entire vegan dishes offered that were creative and delicious ?Kid-friendliness: Kids menu availableParking: Easy access adjacent to the venue for golf carts and vehicles curbside and an open lot across the street.

Great spot for a romantic evening for two or a special occasion with friends. Looks our on the water in Palmetto Bluff and has stunning views. Great ambiance inside, made to feel like the luxurious inside of a canoe (hence the name). Came here with another couple and were seated out on the patio to watch the waterway and enjoy the great weather. Our server was amazing and has been with the restaurant for several years, and had a great understanding of the menu/specials/drinks/wine pairings. The dinner was expertly paced and everything was great. Only got pictures of our sushi appetizer but everything was perfect. Menu changes with the seasons/ chef interest so it is different but we got the red snapper, lambs chop, wagyu steak, oysters, and the sushi. No one had any complaints and we were not rushed when we finished our meals and stayed for another drink. Great experience for fine dining.

Fantastic and superb. Had oysters and Paella - easily the BEST Paella I've ever had. Phenomenal service. Decor is very cool - ceiling looks like an inverted boat. Thank you for an incredible experience.

Esthetically the restaurant is beautiful and well designed but the excellence stops there. Overpriced as everything on the property is, you wouldn’t mind paying if you gut a good meal but none of the 6 of us did. The gumbo was stone cold as were the meatballs; fish entrees were uninspired and the steaks were also cold. It’s too bad because there is massive potential with this venue.
Classy, nice views. Good food and wine. Vegan options.

The Canoe club at Montage palmetto bluff is definitely a destination for you who loves fine dining. I stayed at the Montage for 3 nights and never been able to make a reservation. The concierge told me to just walk in and sit at the bar which was the right decision because you can order everything and you can meet the wonderful bartender "Paul" he is one of the most talented and skillful bartender. His drinks were absolutely amazing . I ordered the blood orange margarita with the salt rim, the May river royals and the chocolate decadence, absolutely the drinks you shouldn't missed. I suggest to sit at the bar and look how good Paul is . We had the Wagu steak and the Bass with bokchoy, absolutely marvelous. Don't even have to talk about the most famous crab beignets and the oyster which was absolutely nothing to compare. We really had a good time. I would say it was one of the best dinner of my life. If you visit Montage Palmetto Bluff, make sure you come to the Canoe Club restaurant, you will love it.

Sit-Down Dining Review The Canoe Club, a restraint part of the Montage Palmetto Bluff resort, is located right on the lagoon waterways. The dining area doesn't seat that many people but has high ceilings, a unique bar, interesting nautical designs. Furthermore, outdoor dining is available on their screened-in balcony that overlooks the May River. Overall, the dining area is well put together which excels the overall dining experience. The restaurant's menu features a lot of coastal cuisines including shrimp, oysters, and grouper. The seafood comes fresh from the May River area which you can see while dining. Also, Canoe Club partners with local farms to source fresh beef, poultry, and vegetables. Having a lot of negative reviews on Yelp ha e me a weary feeling about the food but that quickly changed with my appetizer. The crab beignets and tuna poke were an excellent start to the meal; unfortunately, the portion sizes were not ideal. A similar story from the entree, the spicy Berkshire pork tasted great but still left you hungry. Despite this, a very cool restaurant with fitting designs, unique touches, and great coastal cuisine. Overall Score: 441.4/500
