waiters seemed more interested in chatting with each other than attending to their duties. Had to remind them to give us water with our meal as we had requested and on a hot night a fresh cool glass with each beer ordered would be nice and definitely an Australian touch.As would salt and pepper on the table.

Plan to be back here many many times, will be my new favorite restaurant. Great food, great service, it's fantastic to see the Chef's enjoying themselves too, it means it a good place to work and that is reflective in the food. Thank you again

I went for valentine s day and it was predictably crowded. The staff were not in sync and worse the chef was firing colorful expletives at many of them and totally blowing his cool. Some people found it amusing but i regarded it as unprofessional and frankly it ruined a special evening. Food was average. I can get a cream... More

I am an actual traveler and I went to canvas restaurant in cebu city and I thought it was a terrible restaurant. The food was mediocre, the concept was uninspiring and I would not consider a return visit. I dine out regularly all over asia and I make it to cebu about twice a year. Canvas is one of the... More

A very close friend of mine from Australia and I enjoyed lunch at Canvas. Even though it was a Sunday at 1pm, the restaurant was full. Well known Cebu Society leaders were there as well. Chef Steve continues his excellent cuisine at very good value. New staff, but very good service. I'll be back for more!

The food here is alway good, but it appears in an effort not to increase prices, the owner has instead made the mistake of making portions smaller. Still good, but I dont enjoy leaving a restaurant needing to eat more
