I just happened to stop in today right as you were closing between lunch & dinner. Preston was very welcoming, and knowledgeable about the wines. I was very impressed with him and his service number one. Secondary to that I love what has been done with the apce since you took over from the old owners. My experience was wonderful with Preston to the point that I asked him if he was the owner. Well done Preston. And well done to whoever hired him. I will definitely be back. Right now I am enjoying the Root 1 Carmenere that I selected to bring home. Thank you!

Loved your wine bar. The food was excellent, the wine choices were very well chosen. Ive been to many such venues, and Canape's is definitely in my top 10. Great job!! Now, advertise so people can find you! See y'all next time i'm in Cali...

I could not be more thrilled that my good friend introduced me to Canapes. The owner was fabulous and so kind to the both of us. We sat at the bar and ordered a bottle of white wine and a few appetizers and everything I tasted was mind blowing. We discussed whether we wanted red or white before ordering, so at the end of the meal, the owner tasted both of us on a great glass of red wine. He is a great man and has a lot of ambition. After my experience here, I want to bring everyone I know.

Ok, I have to say I have always been a fan of the North County Wine Company, and their service, but I thought I would branch out and see what Canape's had to offer. Me and a girlfriend decided to see what movie night was about at Canape's last night. Can I just say it "Rocked". We actually arrived a little late, just to see that the patio was filled by goers that were really into the movie....liked we had hoped. We were greeted by the owner who showed us to a nice table by the fire. Later to be greeted by a host who off the bat offered us popcorn for the showing. This server quickly gave us popcorn, and told us to enjoy the movie. He later brought us a menu, but was un intrusive, and really cool....telling us to let him know if we needed anything. 1st off...there wasn't a minimum to enjoy the movie....I think the motto was....the more the merrier....and I felt that. He then came around and we ordered a glass of wine. James the owner invited us to move to a table by the fire. Which I thought was really nice. The movie was "Play Misty For Me", and it was so much fun. Everyone there was having a great time. There were couples, groups, the staff, single people at tables, and me and my friend. Though we were all their separate we laughed together, and wooo'ed at the same time. We talked under our breathe about Clints age...etc...and what the next Wed night movie was. Super fun, I think this will be my Wed night girls hangout in summer for sure. James you got it right on this one!!!

I had the experience of being invited to the soft opening. I thought everything was outstanding.…

We went here twice last weekend. Both times the food and drink were excellent! I really enjoy their small plates that they have because you can order enough to make it a meal and not pay a huge price greater than what a regular meal would be.
My favorite dish was the mac and cheese, followed closely by the Thai Beef Cucumber Cups. The Mac and Cheese is not creamy, but made with real cheese melted in with the pasta and the Parmesan and bacon bits on top made this the best Mac and Cheese I've eaten in awhile. The Thai Beef cups were spicy, but very good! I plan on having these on every visit - they went down perfectly with the beer I was drinking.
Each of the tastes come with wine and beer pairings which is excellent for someone new to this sort of experience of pairing.
Great place to meet a group for happy hour! When summer hits, the patio of this place will be the busiest place on Old Restaurant Row!

Make sure you save room for the Tiramisu :)

We used to go to Friars Follies and was sad when it closed. Yes, it was in need of decorating, but the food was good and I loved having live entertainment. We went to Edwards the other day to see a movie and when it was sold out, decided to walk over to Restaurant Row. To our surprise, a new restaurant had opened in the Friars Follies location. I loved the new decor and the way they served wine. Our waiter was so polite and took great care of us. The owner came over and introduced himself. It was a nice touch. We didn't have time to eat, but loved the wine the owner suggested. It was absolutely delicious. Every time we go to the movies, we'll make going to Canapes part of our outing! Can't wait till they have live entertainment.
PS: Oh... and by the way... I hadn't read these reviews before we went. But... I just wanted to say that I gave our waiter about a 25% tip because he was worth it!

This place was so nice. The service was great (the cook in the front named Josh was fantastic!) the atmosphere was comfortable and the wine and appetizers were great! The owner introduced himself and wanted to make sure we had an enjoyable experience. Try the crab with melted cheese-amazing! We look forward to going back and sitting outside by the firepit's.
