In Short – The L-shaped dining room features low lighting, wrought-iron fixtures and a distinct lack of Southwestern kitsch. The bar, home to a large selection of aged tequilas, takes up a wall near the entrance. Start with the smoked salmon tostada, which blends smoked salmon in a habanero reduction. The habanero, one of nature's hottest peppers, only packs a small punch in the subtle sauce. Entrees include a surprising amount of seafood for a landlocked cuisine.

Canyon Cafe

by tbene

This is a tiny restaurant, and probably why there is such excellent quality control. The menu isn't big, but they do everything great. The best prickly pear margaritas on the planet and hands down my most favorite dessert: white chocolate bread pudding. I've eaten dinner elsewhere and gone to Canyon for dessert. The wait staff are career waiters, not young sofla trendies acting like they're doing the customer a favor. This place gets packed and the wait can be mighty long, but keep those prickly pears coming and you won't notice.

  • Pros: Great food, great atomosphere
  • Cons: gets very busy and bar is small but drinks are fabulous

What? It's TOO LOUD!

by ldouglas954

Canyon has good food, but not really worth the gourmet prices they ask and it was too loud for conversation at my table.

Overpriced for the food quality

by wrocko

They may have the best margarita in town, but it does not matter if you came for food alone. The food was tasty enough, but not assembled in the way I would have expected based on other reviews. The dishes seemed awkward and overly trendy. On top of that, the cuisine was very confused. They seem to advertise southwest, but the Asian fusion overtones are quite apparent, so do not come expecting any customary Southwest dishes. The service for our table was very unattentive and lacked emotion for such a place. For the price tag, one could find a much more pleasing dinner for both taste and service. On the plus side, the ambience was pleasant. However, the wait staff decked out in black shirts and camo pants only served to add to the restaurant's identity crisis.

  • Pros: Ambience, Margarita
  • Cons: Service, Price

The Details on Canyon Restaurant

What to Drink:

The prickly pear margarita, made with the juice of a prickly pear that has been soaked for 24 hours in 100 percent blue agave is slightly sweeter than a regular margarita, pink and absolutely delicious.

Know Before You Go:

Don't go here for quiet conversation--the noise level can get pretty high, especially after a round of margaritas.
