The Canoe House is an inexpensive restaurant, with a mor Hawaiian themed menu than Isands. The decor features an abundance of painted canoe paddles or surfboards, depending on the room. An outriggermcanoe is suspended from the ceiling. The boths are decorated in a Juan Miro inspired pattern. There is bamboo furniture outside warmed by a fire pit.

The pork nachos were delicious and I liked my crab melt, with aioli on the side,

No tiki mugs, although my chi chi was served in a bamboo glass mug.
The tiki bar has a single tiki on a sign which looks like it was done by pariarts.com.
It is bathed in blue light.

The owners heavily invested in the decor, so a carver might want to give them a pitch regarding a tiki.

The website has a menu with accurate pricing and photos.

Overall, it is an excellent contemporary designed Hawaiian bar and grill, with good food and ambience, which compensates for a low tipsy score. Well worth a visit.
