We had a date at Can Can last night. We wanted to see if it had changed since the boathouse people bought it. It didn't. Our excellent waiter told us they make everything in house except butter and other dairy and ketchup. Their bread is fabulous. Husband the delicious French onion soup and I had potato leek soup. We split a salad. It was so enormous that even splitting, it was too much. It was disappointing/ salad with poached pears, blue cheese and dried cranberries and maybe pecans. The cheese and other add ons- not including the pears- were probably no more than a tablespoon for the whole huge salad. We split steak frites. Great steak. It's a beautiful restaurant and really feels French.

We got the mushroom soup which was good but not wonderful. They didn’t have the empanadas, but the appetizer we got was very good. The dessert crepe with Nutella, strawberries and bananas was delicious.

The food and service was very good. However the restaurant had a murky appearance that was heightened by litter on the floor--straw wrappers and similar items.
