One of our go to spots in Victoria Park . Cannot miss the bread pudding . Amazing!

I can't even tell you what not to get. Tuna tartar is pure heaven, the scallops are sooo good, seared tuna and the swordfish ... I can't pick my favorite. Worth every penny

Fort Lauderdale Magazine

Standouts include: swordfish with Swiss chard-white bean ragout, tomato-avocado salsa and green chili chorizo crumbles - See more at: http://flmag.com/canyon#sthash.1SgIYcEO.dpuf

No reservations and a small bar , but patience is worth it. Small plates way to go: tostadas are great and a good value . Skip the dumplings . Wash everything down w prickly pear margaritas !

Ingrid Korgemagi

Best restaurant in Ft. Lauderdale, IMHO. The poblano pepper app is outstanding and save room for the signature desert . Definately a place for foodies. Ask for Jeff. He'll take care of you!

Ask any Fort Lauderdale foodie for restaurant recommendations, and one name is sure to come up without question.

The Prickly Pear Margarita was named Best Margarita by New Times Broward PB! Balance is key to the margarita and this specimen walks a tightrope of secret ingredients without faltering one bit

Bob Poland

Absolutely my favorite restaurant in Fort Lauderdale . Incredibly fabulous food. They take no reservations , so get there early! Pricey , but worth every penny :)

Anne Ingersoll

Place is too small so it gets too crowded easily. Not a place for claustrophobic people. Waiting time for table is 20-30mins. Other than that their prickly pear margarita & tuna tartare are the bomb!

Mike B

The Canyon is awesome, just make sure to come dressed up or you'll end up like us and be put in THE DARK TABLE where no one can see you and your poor people clothes , then you'll have to use your phone

Feeling like a carnivore? Order the filet and you won't be disappointed! It's tender, juicy, and best of all delicious! Read more

Mario Restivo

Wow wow wow. Prickly pear martini , black grouper , white chocolate bread pudding . Good better best. You won't stop thinking how amazing the food is for days.

New Times Broward Palm Beach

The Day-Glo pink of Canyon's Prickly Pear Margarita hints at the Hawaiian Punch flavors favored by college girls with bad fake IDs, but devotees swear by this balancing act of a beverage.

Ana Paula Alexandrescu

Try the White Chocolaye Bread Pudding - UNBELIEVABLE! This dessert is worth everything! One of the best I ever had! Divine!

nein

romantic atmosphere , be sure to get a booth . great service. recommend tuna tartar for app

Celeste

Love their tuna tartar and ask to add avocado ! Expresso crem brûlée is amazing too

VisitLauderdale

Indulge with a famous Prickly Pear Margarita where the ingredients are kept mum but the punchy flavors will have you say “Yum!”

VisitLauderdale

BYO fans; Bring your own wine – provided that Canyon does not carry it – for a corkage fee of $25 a bottle.

Danielle Perry

I'll never forget the delicious ostriche appetizer I had at Canyon a while back. Really need to go back soon :)

VisitLauderdale

Stay all night during happy hour at the bar with 1/2 off menu appetizers .
