Chef's Playground Eatery

Menu was interesting, food was amazing, service was terrific.

Very happy with our experience at the restaurant, great service and delicious food, can't go wrong with that combination

Dinner was a very pleasant experience. Food was fantastic. Would definitely return.

We all chose the Bacon Cheddar Burger and it was fabulous! We shared a serving of the garlic fries as well and it was delicious! The service was wonderful - our waitress was pleasant and attentive. This place is a local gem!

Great food and truly a neighbourhood gem

really like it ... only comment might be the ventilation as open kitchen .

The food was outstanding and the personal service exceeded our expectations. Definitely a place to visit if you are looking for great value.

Great chef and staff, small and cozy , lovely place to be

Farewell party

The food was good and I especially like the drink (with beets and carrot) . I have taken some business card and would recommend to my friends.

Great food, meh service. Would go back for the food.

Very limited menu for supper. The burgers looked amazing. I had the ribs with an ale sauce that were meaty and tender. This was served with smashed potatoes and a house made cabbage slaw.. my partner had a cajun chicken burger that looked very much like chicken strips with seasoning. The kitchen is in the seating area and as so much of the food is deep fried we noted that when we left the restaurant our clothes smelled of grease. This might be a good place for takeaway food. Not sure we would go back.

Great little place in Steveston. The food is just phenomenal! Everything is fresh and we'll made - great comfort food. The staff is always friendly and attentive. If there's a special, make sure to order it. Oh and the sangria is fantastic.

Nice food, service was attentive. A little limited on the menu items to choose from. Nonetheless a nice neighbourhood eatery.

We really enjoyed being there and the music playing was excellent. The waitress was outstanding and so pleasant. The food was excellent and the chefs did great jobs.

My grandchildren and I liked dining in Chef's Playground. Will for sure dine there again in the future.

I wasn't good as recomend by all. The steak was dry and the cabbages slade was too salty. Overall, I don't want to go back.

It’s a fantastic place. Great food, well priced. I highly recommend.

Casual, intimate and friendly environment

The food is always delicious, with a well thought out unique menu. Fresh ingredients, hot from the kitchen and very good service. The Chef takes his menu to heart as does his server/bartender. We have eaten here several times and always come away having enjoyed our meals.

Everything was awesome- just need more comfy chaors

A great little find in Steveston and the BEST burger. Ok awesome fries also, order the gravy on the side. Had the brussel sprouts, cauliflower and crispy onions appie, its the only way to eat brussel sprouts hah.

Friendly people who want to please, a very talented chef, great value. Go.

Absolutely love the deep fried Brussels sprouts and cauliflower!

We went to Chef's Playground on a Sunday night for dinner. The appetizers, burgers and steak were all top notch. The server and chef were both very attentive during the meal. Will certainly go back again for brunch.

Love this little gem in Steveston. Great food, excellent service and location.

Great local eatery in Steveston. The chef is very accommodating if you have any dietary restrictions.
The price point is great for the quality of food. I don't eat meat so will ask the chef for a tofu burger
which is very tasty. Great fries, lavender lemonade, soup, etc.
Definitely worth trying!!

Made and confirmed a reservation at 7:45 tonight. Arrived at 7:47 to find the kitchen has closed and staff have finished cleaning up the place. I drove 20 minutes to a closed restaurant....

This is actually not the first time I've had similar issues. I called ahead of time to make sure they were still serving brunch. The person on the phone confirmed that they are so I made that 20 min drive to steveston village. Only to be turned away by one of the server's telling me they ran out of food ONE HOUR before end of service!!

Always a delicious meal at Chef’s playground! I’ve eaten here several times now and enjoy bringing friends to try the menu. We tried the seasonal spot prawn bisque as well as the usual favorites like duck drumettes and brussel sprouts. Service is excellent as well.

Casual fair with some interesting menu items. Food was excellent, waiter was good. The brussel sprouts appetizer was fantastic.

Simply amazing. Chef Gordon and Mixologist Spencer put together a great Valentine's menu for my fiancée and I. The food was amazing, the service was incredible, and the drinks were superb. On top of this, Spencer and Gordon both gave such wonderful, personal service that by the time we left we felt more like they were old friends than people we'd just met a few hours before. On top of this, they were very accommodating of our dietary needs (one person with gluten intolerance, the other a vegetarian) and made sure that not only could we eat everything, but that we had enough info to match our order to our palates.

We had to leave before we had a chance to try the dessert, but with everything else being so amazing, we're definitely planning to come back and give it a go!
