This is a local establishment offering some local fare, like clams, and orher seafood. The place is small and can get busy, but have a drink and time will pass by quickly. Service was good and then they'd forget about us intil we summoned someone, and then they'd be back on track. The salad was a little wilted. The guacamole was delicious and the chips were crispy. The clams in broth were yummy. The bread is good and hot! We had a good time.

Very nice atmosphere on the marina. We headed here for lunch and ordered the large lobster roll, ceasar salad and two cocktails. Our bill was $169.00 for two people. Sadly, this pricing is typical in the Hamptons areas whether you're a multi-millionaire or not. Food is served on paper plates and cocktails in plastic cups. The service is curt and swift but not unfriendly. They were super busy both times we went so I can understand. The large lobster roll was tasty and generous. It's served on a ciabatta roll, which I'm not crazy about. I personally prefer a more delicate roll so it doesn't compete with the lobster meat. The fries were nice and crispy. I didn't take pics of the food because they don't focus on the presentation here. The real reason I am leaving a review is for the amazing cocktail I had that I'm still thinking about today, weeks after we were there. It's called the Bad Hombre and was so delicious that we went back the next night for another round 💀. If you are a fan of ginger and spice, like I am, you will love it. I am still longing for it, and I don't even drink tequila or alcohol much!

Always a fun & delicious meal at Canal Cafe! Lovely setting overlooking the water, laid back atmosphere, with terrific food and great service. Fish & chips, scallops, and a fried chicken sandwich along with my favorite cocktail (cocomo).

Cute, very busy, place with nice view of the marina. Service was good. Food was average, cocktails were good. May try again in the off season when they’re not so busy and see if it’s better.

Stopped here for lunch on a business trip based on reviews. Nice spot on the water with both indoor and outdoor seating. Service was friendly and laid back and food was good, though slightly heavy/greasy for lunch. Fountain sodas on the menu are actually from a can but thier homemade iced tea was delicious.

Had a wonderful lunch at Canal Cafe today. We enjoyed the escarole & bean soup, Lobster salad, salmon (cooked to perfection) and shrimp tacos. The table next to us had the chicken w rice n beans and it looked so good we got it to go. Our server, Tara couldn't be more accommodating and friendly. All around a memorable experience and we look forward to our next visit.

Great food and great atmosphere. Have been coming here for years. Be aware that they don’t seat full parties - a policy that’s enforced with religious fervor that at times makes zero sense. We had a party of 11 and waiting for 2 - and they refused to seat us with 9 people. So - if you’re with a large party, make sure to lowball your party size with the hostess so they’ll seat you. Their big tables all seat between 8 and 12 people. They’ll happily let more people join your table once they arrive.
