The Scene – Rubicon's much-praised former chef, Dennis Leary, is at the helm of this adorable 20-seat house. Decor is stunning and sparse: Gray walls and natural wood tables give way to modern touches like bright apple green counter tops and retro kitchen canisters. The crowd is a strange brew of foodies and the unsuspecting hotel guest. – – The Food – The kitchen churns out a tiny menu of ever-changing, exquisitely prepared California cuisine. Start with an unforgettable deviled crab salad or the sumptuous escarole salad of white anchovies and a mustardy gribiche…

Poor service. We waited for a two-top table for nearly two hours while larger parties were seated before us. Overall experience, AWFUL.
Terrific find

This past Saturday night (11/25/06) I was joined by four other friends for a fantastic and creative 3-course meal at Canteen. Service was excellent, as was the food. Everyone had something different and delectable. I highly recommend the vanilla souffle, it's served with creme anglaise and is the best I've ever had. I'll definitely return and try other dishes.
- Pros: Creativity of the food, wait service, portion size,
- Cons: Noise, cramped seating
Very poor service, very expensive, and small food portion

We were 5 people in the table. We asked the waiter to change our wine glasses and he's attitude towards my request was very abrupt, he collected the other glasses quickly and with attitude towards us saying: "these are the glasses we serve wine with, it will be at least 5 minutes for me to go down stairs and bring other glasses". We felt not welcomed. We didn't know what happened, later I was asking if we offended him in any shape because he's reaction to our request was unexpected, he said no but did not appologize for his behavior.
We were perplexed by the $ amount that was charged to our credit card and found later on that they over charged us by $60
The food was OK but the portion was too small for such amount of money they ask for.
- Pros: Dessert
- Cons: Service
