Restaurant Review LinksListed below are links to reviews of Canteen from around the web.
"A bed of savory hot homemade chorizo stirred in with black beans. Beneath the blanket of just barely scrambled eggs laid a mound of spiced stewed peppers...."
"My first meal was good but a second visit left me wondering why people are going crazy over good, but very average, food...."
"The most tender, small, fresh squid was served over a bed of the most perfectly cooked black lentils with a a dab of red chili paste and a slightly crunchy topping of bread crumbs. It was out of this world and would have made an excellent entree...."
"Ad hoc was impressively satisfying, beyond just the glow of Thomas Keller's pervasive reputation. , with deep golden crunchy flakes of buttermilk batter on the outside and tender meat on the inside dripping with glistening juice, spiked with fried sprigs..."
"Chef-owner Dennis Leary has transformed a narrow onetime coffee shop in the Commodore Hotel into one of the most sought-after dinner reservations in town. The homey place seats just 20 at a counter and quartet of wooden booths...."
"She advised me to put the egg on top and then smash it into the tartare… It was easy enough to do and that ended up being one of my favorite dishes of the night. The steak was diced in small pieces then mixed with zesty chopped cornichon pickles, ca..."

"With any trip to San Francisco, you have to plan out the parking situation. Canteen is situated on Sutter and Jones and yes, parking is luck of the draw...."
"This creative use of unexpected flavors and textures carried through in the main dishes and was most eloquently pulled off in the navarin of veal: fork-tender, melt-in-your-mouth chunks of veal bathed in a light, creamy, lemony sauce, set atop silky carro..."
""Seemingly straightforward and down-market standbys like corned beef hash reach tasteful heights thanks to Leary's skills and the fact that he corns the beef himself...."
"While the food was artfully conceived and executed, we could not help but notice that Leary was a bit too busy. He warmed up a bit later, but he is a natural born chef, not a waiter...."
"Chef Dennis Leary, late of Rubicon, cooks every dish in a tiny open galley kitchen, in this once-diner, now modern eatery, which features 4 booths and 7 counter stools. The three dinner seatings fill up a week or two in advance, because his seasonal fare..."
"This place should be the local hang, but the prices seem prohibitive to being a regular. But then, in the ritzy Cow Hollow neighborhood in the Marina, it works...."
