I was interested to eat in Canlis because of the reviews that I read in this site. I was very looking forward to eat the Wagyu tenderloin, however the taste is not like the kobe-beef I had before. I did some research & I found that Wagyu beef is supposed to be a kobe-beef but the fact is it isn't what I'm expecting, the tenderness is comparable to others meat, it's not superior where it should be. However the service is pretty good, I reserved the cache room it was not that spectacular, I would prefer the main dining room. The crab cake was good though, and so are escargots and Peter Canlis' prawns. I'd recommend Canlis salad. The Souffle was pretty good too. The muscovy duck is better than the Wagyu tenderloin.

Pros: service, ambience

Cons: steak not worth it
