While visiting Hanover for a week, we loved the food here so much that we ended up having dinner on the 1st and last night plus a dinner in between and took friends to lunch. The food was consistently excellent (and I travel and eat throughout the world a few times a month).  …..  Management was also very accommodating – it’s a unique and cozy place - I'll be back.

I travel from Cape Cod to Hanover several times a year and each time I look forward to dining at The Canoe Club. It has become a ritual. The location is perfect, the decor is both rustic and elegant, the service is friendly and efficient but, most of all, the food is outstanding. I have never been disappointed with any appetizer, entree, or (if I have room) dessert. My husband is a fanatic about the PEI Mussels and Fries with Garlic Aioli. This is the first review I have written for a restaurant, but the Canoe Club is so good I wanted to share my experience.

 I walked in and noticed the surroundings, I felt like I was taken back to my camp days. The décor, with its memorabilia and cozy atmosphere put me at ease right away. I thought I would take a seat at the bar since I was solo. I had no trouble making new friends, as the locals regularly come here and seem open and friendly. The bartender was equally engaging and made me a delicious martini. I was pleasantly surprised at the diversity of choices and the noticeable use of local seasonal ingredients. From tenderloin and sushi grade seared tuna to vegetarian options, I found it pleasantly difficult to make a decision. After some suggestions from the bartender, I decided to order the Baby Spinach salad with dried cranberries, pecans, blue cheese and cider vinaigrette. It was delicious, perfectly dressed and all the flavors complemented each other. My entrée, which arrived in a perfectly timed manner, was the Wild Mushroom Strudel. It had a wonderful earthy taste, which was a nice contrast the spaghetti squash garnish. Overall, I would say my dining experience was very satisfying and I am looking forward to my next visit. I suggest making reservations, as the Canoe Club seems to be a very popular.

My husband and I had such fun and such a wonderful meal at the Canoe Club in Hanover. The whole experience was a pleasure but the food was the best part. Our waiter was funny and efficient. I really enjoyed it and would recommend trying it out. Best place to eat in Hanover for sure.
