The newest restaurant, that recently opened in the historic downtown district on Broadway in Green Bay, is The Cannery Public Market. It is housed in and old vegetable cannery that has been unoccupied for some years. The Cannery is very large in scale it has a gourmet market, deli and restaurant. The décor is rustic contemporary style it is all open onto one floor with exposed brick and large timber logs. Their kitchen is massive all stainless steel and open. As you walk in there is seating in the entry which they call outside seating. Inside they have a siting area with leather sofa, coffee tables next to a large gas fireplace. To the right is where the deli and market is located and straight ahead is the dinning area with a huge bar. Looking out onto the street are large glass garage doors that can open up for the warmer months. The atmosphere is warm and casual.

I was immediately greeted by the hostess and was seated by the window. My server came over and took my beverage order and told me of the specials for that evening. The menu has sandwiches, salads and soups, and a few dinner entrees, made with healthy gourmet ingredients. I ordered their smoked Norwegian salmon salad at the price of $16.00.

The salad consists of their smoked in house salmon, fried cappers, and goat cheese, tossed with baby greens, in a house citrus vinaigrette. My salad was lacking in presentation and very blah looking. The portion was medium size with no bread, dipping oils, or crackers that were served before or with my salad. The smoked salmon was shredded into tiny pieces, the goat cheese tasted like feta cheese and the capers were dark and fried. The vinaigrette was barely discernible on the salad. My salad was extremely salty and lacking in creativity and flavor, especially with all the wonderful items available at their market.

The Cannery has a large variety of brewed specialty beers and they also make their own cheese curds which they have samples for you to try.
