Surrey

About the restaurant

The Old Surrey Restaurant is Surrey’s best well- kept secret. Built in 1918, it was the residence of Lou Jack and his household until it was converted into a restaurant in 1974.

The interior has a crisp, clean aesthetic that is enhanced by hardwood floors and the enlarged photos of historic Surrey that adorn the walls. There are five distinct dining areas on the top floor (including a cozy library) and a banquet facility downstairs. The cuisine is French with a splash of West Coast flare. A treat for new and seasoned guests alike are the signature dishes that are prepared and flambeed tableside.

The restaurant has been family-owned and operated since 1974 and in 1984 the restaurant has entered into a partnership with the family farm in Ryder Lake overlooking Chilliwack from the nearby mountains. The Old Surrey is well known for its free-range lamb and veal allowing customers to enjoy fresh organic ingredients.

Steakhouse

Richmond

About the restaurant

Chop was created for people who love sharing, connecting and everything steak. We are proud to offer a menu that shares our commitment to sustainable beef sourcing, serving high-quality cuts of 100% Canadian beef. It isn’t just the meat that’s special – it’s also how we cook it. Our Montague broiler cooks at up to 1800 °F, giving a beautiful crust and flavour to every steak! We slow roast our prime rib in a humidity-controlled oven, keeping it mouth-watering and tender. And we put this level of care into each of our hand-crafted drinks, and from-scratch dishes, including plant-based and seafood options, with something for everyone to enjoy. All of this quality comes with friendly hospitality in warm and energetic rooms. Open for lunch, happy hour, dinner and late-night! Chop is located near the Vancouver International Airport and beside the Sandman Signature hotel. We’re only minutes from the River Rock Casino Resort and the Vancouver Skytrain.

Fantastic experience again in the dining room. We enjoyed the seafood linguine and mussels and the uniquely delicious mushroom and prime rib soup. Special thanks to our server Frankie who clearly understands people and their needs - he took great care of us from beginning to end

Our first afternoon tea experience exceeded our expectations. Stuff was wonderful from start to finish, always checking to ensure everything was great. We booked for my birthday and they brought out the tower with a candle in the cupcake which was a really nice touch. Tea and all the accompaniments were delicious and overall we had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back again. Thanks again for the fun afternoon!

Food was excellent. I tried two items off the new fall menu. The Crispy Pumpkin Spiced Ravioli and the Pumpkin Pie Crème Brule. Both were fantastic. The hostess greeted us with a smile and had a wonderful demeanor. Our server Peyton was amazing and we were never left waiting for drink top ups or to order/pay our bill. Overall it was a great experience & we will dine here again.

We went for the Thanksgiving three course. Service was excellent. The live music was fine from where we were seated but quite loud at the staircase up to the restaurant. My companion enjoyed her salad starter. My butternut squash soup was tasty but closer to a puree in texture and it would have benefitted from a little stock or cream. The turkey dinner was very good. The turkey was moist, the mashed potatoes were smooth and the gravy added a lot of flavor. I would have preferred more veggies and less potatoes, but the proportions were pretty standard for most restaurants. The pumpkin pie was smooth and tasty, if a little cinnamon forward. It was a bit surprising but I liked it. This was our first visit to The Loft and we will definitely be going back to try brunch and prime rib night.

We had a great evening, waitress was friendly, funny and patient, as we were visiting and took a bit to order. The food was great as well. The music is too loud, with all the loud music and people chatting it is hard to visit
