Good Service

Our table had a rose and a candle with a very good atmosphere. Food was delicious and service was great. Food a little pricey but will definitely go again.

A nostalgic moment in time

This restaurant has everything, great food, great wine list, outstanding ambiance, incredible service. Set in a location that looks like the Whistle Stop cafe by the train tracks this older home has been a restaurant for 40 years. And speaking of 40 years they now have an anniversary menu special for $45 that includes very delicious appetizers(3), 3 choices of... more

40th Anniversary dinner

My husband and I had a most enjoyable four course celebratory dinner last Saturday at the Old Surrey Restaurant. The food was beautifully prepared and presented. The service efficient and friendly.The decor and setting lovely. It is a great place for special occasion dinners or a night out with friends.

Uncommon in Surrey

I've been here a few times and the food, service and time had is always great.
If you want a cut above in Surrey, this is it.

Fancy meal

If u want Caesar salad made in front of your eye slowly and enjoy the process, this is the .
The service is friendly and u feel like u r eating in a friends home with maid and butler.
The building is old but cheerful inside.

Good Food and Value

My wife and I had a very nice dinner. This was our first ever visit to the Old Surrey Restaurant and I have outlined some areas below:
LOCATION: The restaurant is conveniently located off a major street. The area itself is average. However if you are at this restaurant you are here for the food/service etc not for a wander... more

Bistro 72 at the old surrey inn

A great place for business lunch. Their emphasis on local ingredients showcases the talents of the chef and creates a varied and exciting menu, that is constantly changing. The room can be booked for lunch and business presentation (complete with screen and projector) If you are looking for something different but community relevant for business give Bistro 72 a try.

A real gem in Newton

Old Surrey Restaurant has become a favorite staple on our list special dining experiences. The owners and staff have become family over the years. From greeting you when you first enter to bidding farewell when you leave, we always feel like we just stopped by to visit with friends. The menu is limited but complete with something for everyone. The... more

Still good after all these years

My family, friends and colleagues always have an exceptional meal here. They train young chefs-to-be and often have unique dishes. I have been going to this restaurant for 40 years

Birthday Dinner

Good food. A bit busy. There is extra secret parking at the back. We went here for my birthday. They had my favourite wine.

Best food and Best service

I have been to this location a number of times as I live close and would recommend it to any and all. The staff cannot do enough and the food is always prepared to perfection. The ambiance is also wonderful. Try it you will always remember you experience.

classy, affordable, local

The Old Surrey Restaurant has charm. The food is fantastic and local. The 3 or 4 course dinner specials are always a great deal.

Best high-end food in Surrey

Haven't been to Old Surrey for some time though in the past it has been quite enjoyable with excellent service and room decor. The new bistro located downstairs beckons my wife and I especially with a newer menu,less formal presentation and less-costly meals.This is a restaurant for special occasions and continues to excel year after year.Menu diversity could be greater... more

Great friendly service

Great dining experience, not rushed at all. Table side caesar salad and coffee is a real treat! Food here is incredible.

Elegance in Surrey

Have been going to this restaurant for over 15 years. One of our favourites for special occasions. Never been disappointed with anything. Great atmosphere and staff.

Great meal with friends

We have been to this restaurant several times over the years and have never been disappointed. The food is wonderful and well presented, a menu that has something for everyone, and excellent staff to look after you from when you come through the door till you leave at the end of the evening. Its a good choice for a special... more

We've been going for years

We don't have a date for a visit I've been going for 40 years. Valentine Aguirre never fails to have great service and a great meal. It's such a joy to go back again and again receive the same polite, professional staff always with smiles. The evening dinner starts as soon as you are greeted at the door. Old Surrey... more

40 years of quality and class

Difficult to believe that any restaurant can last these days, but to endure for 40 years is a stellar achievement. Do yourself a favour and acquaint yourself with this gem. Dining is an experience - just as it used to be and as it should be.

Exquisite every time

This has been a favorite of ours for years. We go only twice a year or so but the meals are always expertly prepared and exquisitely presented. It has only gotten better over time.

An oldie but a goodie

This restaurant has been a Surrey landmark since Adam and with modifications and a touch of conservancy has managed to stay in business, catering essentially to an aging population with tested servings. Most consumers recognize the importance of renewing past contact with servers.
To be honest this is where this restaurant has been lacking as new clients will only be... more

Great dinner - new style

As a party of four, we had heard that the old Surrey Restaurant had changed/gotten even better. We weren't disappointed at all. I plan on going back next month with all the ladies.

Classic Dining experience

You will be hard pressed to find a dining experience like this- great value, well prepared and presented food and impeccable service. The lamb is our favorite!. Their theme menus such as the Chateaubriand special is outstanding for it's value and the French style table side service. We entertain our out of town guests or our special clients with absolute... more

A bit confusing

Went to the Old Surrey for a nice birthday dinner for my girl, we were seated in a very quiet room which was nice. Dinner was very enjoyable and the food and sauces were rich (a bit too rich for our taste) Overall a very nice experience save for a few things. The drink menu is very weighted towards wine... more

Would not recommend

My fiancé (now) wanted to propose to me at his favourite place to dine " old Surrey restaurant" well he did not want me to have any suspicion, so we walk in wearing our sweat pants and guess what... Poor service throughout... It your not dress to par. You will have c@!%!y service...anyways we laugh about it now, but will... more

comfort food done well

Brought the family for moms B-day. Service is great. The food is tasty. The decor feels a little dated and old in my opinion but pleasant enough. There is a new tapas to hang and have some pre-drinks o the first level. It offers some live music which is always good to have. However it is small and feels 'clinical'... more

Oh What a Meal

One of the best meals I have experienced. Food excellent, service great. Such a quaint location. We had the three course menu. Choices were quite varied, would satisfy most patrons. Can't wait to go back.

Quaint & Charming

Driving by, I would not have expected such a quaint restaurant inside. The decor is mostly antiques, with beautiful bookcases and charming traditional tableware. Our server was very professional and contributed to our dining experience by choosing a great wine and perfectly timing our courses. The food was average at best, the sauces and proteins tasted like something my grandmother... more

Great place to wine and dine

I have been going to the Old Surrey since 1975, nowadays not as frequently as I spend more time abroad. The food, wine list, cocktails and service are excellent. It is family owned and operated and is a genuine old Surrey house. The ambiance is great and the setting is very cozy. I have had many parties there and everything... more

Wonderful food, wonderful service - 1st Class

Whatever type of event, this place is perfect: business, romantic, family or any other. Their food is marvelous and inventive without being weird. Their service is formal, but friendly, without being intrusive. One of my favourite restaurants anywhere!

Hidden Gem

We were bummed out at the closing of one of our favorite haunts - Jake's Steakhouse - literally days before our wedding anniversary.
It was the day of our wedding anniversary, and on to Google to see if there was something suitable for a good meal close by. Out of the blue - The Old Surrey Resaurant! Fine dining, in... more

Fine dining in Surrey, didn't see that coming

We have been there several times. Both the food and service has been consistently fantastic. The atmosphere is nice, especially the Library...very intimate and romantic. The only downside is that they have been a little lacking about returning messages when it comes to reservations on key dates (eg-Valentines Day, I left four messages over four days at the beginning of... more

Not so impressed

Had the Mother's Day lunch menu and thought it was really average. It was $30 bucks per person. You get a muffin, a tiny fruit cocktail, a soup or salad and then there were a few choices for your main. I had the striploin steak which I thought was actually done nicely but my mom's fish was really bland. The... more

A great evening

We had our parents 65th wedding anniversary here on Sunday evening. There were 18 of us in our own room enjoying and savoring the $42. group menu. Fabulous choices done to perfection. Everyone was thrilled with it - our elderly parents, us and grandchildren all loved the ambiance, the service, the food and the price.

Old World Charm in Surrey, BC

We enjoyed a really nice dinner at this restaurant in Surrey, BC. It is located in an area that you wouldn't expect to find fine dining but worth the visit. Had a long chat with the owners who have been running the restaurant for a long time. They have weathered many challenges and economy changes and are still giving great... more

Excellent restaurant

We have been dining here for many years now. The restaurant is a combination of elegance, charm, good food, and attentive service. I have taken parties as large as fourteen people or as last night, my wife and I only. What a pleasure to dine at an establishment that knows good food and good service. The wait staff is attentive... more

ALWAYS excellent

I have been going here since the place opened over 30 years ago!!!! Family run operation, service is excellent, food is superb, atmosphere wonderful. Old and quaint. They have monthly specials with a 3 course meal for $35.00. You CAN"T beat that! Much of the food comes from Val's farm in the valley. Val says he's retired but you see... more

A real treat for good food lovers

We have visited the Old Surrey several times usually to celebrate my birthday. The food is always great, well prepared and the service is exceptional. And it is not extraordinarily expensive! A must for the mature palate!

Old Surrey for special Dinner

The dinner was for an anniversary. Prawns Provinciale followed by Caesar Salad made at the table, then followed by CHATEAUBRIAND also carved at the table. the service and wine pairings were fantastic. One of my favorites.

Good place to relax and enjoy a nice meal

The Old Surrey has been one of our favourites in the city of Surrey. A variety of eating rooms and decor fill the place with ambiance. The food is consistently good and reasonably priced.

loyal customer

Always great

Everything. Great food, good service, and wonderful atmosphere. We have always enjoyed going to the Old Surrey Restaurant with friends. It makes for an enjoyable evening..no rush and lots of great choices for everyone.

excellent

Excellent food, excellent service. They treat you like family. We always go on special occasions and have never been disappointed. This is one of our most favourite restaurants in Vancouver.

Foof

Nothing to rave about. Good , well prestented average food.
Staff give excellent service to regular customers. When seerving regular customers lots of smiles and laughs but not so to new customers.

Old world quality and service

The quality of the food, presentation and service is never failing at this little-known, yet long-established neighbourhood gem. Special occasions or simply want to pamper yourselves, this is the place to go without paying down town Vancouver prices. Service, food, and friendliness keep us coming back.

Hidden find in Surrey

Whether you choose a la carte or one of their seasonal set menus you are guaranteed top quality food and service! The cuisine is French in nature with a splash of West Coast flare.
It is a freestanding building, built in 1918 and from the outside looks like an old school house or railroad station. The interior has an crisp,... more

Good experience overall

From the reviews I expected this restaurant to have excellent quality food as everyone seems to love it. Everything was quite nice, the service good and the food also was good.
Overall a nice experience but not quite a top notch as I expected.

Always reliable

Our favorite restaurant. Always come here for special occasions & last was my wife's birthday with children & grandchildren. Food was great and menu was accommodated for a few. Were greeted by owner. Have introduced this restaurant to many friends. The Kotylak's

I have been going to this restaurant for 30 years and highly recommend it. The food is amazing, the service is excellent, you always feel very special because they are very attentive to you and your guests. Can't wait to book for New Years 2011!!!

Great Dinner. Yummmmm. Ceasar salad made table side, Steak Oscar (tenderloin with crab) and delicious desert with 'special' coffee. Yummmm. I'll BE BACK!!!

AMAZING food, great romantic atmosphere!!
