    Problems in the kitchen! Canteen was understaffed on Sunday, and the kitchen was overwhelmed. It would have been great to see one of the two managers put on an apron and a hairnet to go help out. Instead they were wandering around trying to deal with the fallout. My Eggs Benny arrived very late with no peameal bacon. The waiter apologized and brought some as a side. He was helpful and appalled at the situation. My friend would have liked to sip some non-alcoholic wine or beer, but there were only 0% cocktails on the menu. Get with the times, Canteen!

    The service was great. We had a wonderful waitress. She was very attentive and friendly ! I was extremely disappointed in the food quality. I was expecting more of the same calibre of all other Oliver and Bonacini restaurants.

    Great pre theatre place to dine. They also have a kids menu, in case you’re going for a bite before the Lion King.

    I made breakfast plans with a dear friend. The service was exceptional. Our server Maddie was very attentive, not too over-bearing, and was managing multiple tables at once. Her knowledge and bright energy was a warm welcome. The food was divine, however the wait for it to appear on our table took a little longer than anticipated. Would recommend this spot if you’re going to see a play, concert or movie at the Bell TIFF Lightbox.

    Canteen is a great spot with a welcoming atmosphere and excellent service. The staff is not only friendly but also very knowledgeable, always ready to recommend the best dishes or drinks. They make you feel comfortable and well taken care of from start to finish. The food is also good!
