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.

            This has been my "go to" restaurant for the past 20 years. I have always enjoyed the quality of the food ( as a professional chef) and the menu selections. Unfortunately, the usual standard was not met on this occasion. The staff were not trained to OSR standards and, it took forever to place our meal selections. Had to ask twice for bread basket, soup was luke warm, the individual preparing the caesar salad must have been a 1st timer. Had to send back 1 of 2 cocktails, & pour our own wine. On the bright side, the lamb shank was delicious. Overall . . . very disappointed, for a special occasion.

            We enjoyed the experience. The waiters were attentive and friendly. The anniversary special set included tableside service to make the caesar salad and nitro ice cream which was fun. Food was good, ambience was good, not too loud so we could enjoy our conversation. I'm glad we tried this place, and made me feel special for my birthday.

            This restaurant never disappoints however last night was an exception. The lamb was over cooked, we were often looking for someone to pour the wine, and refill our water glasses. Overall the service was not up to its usual standard. Everyone was pleasant and friendly, but they must have been short staffed as this is not typical of this wonderful restaurant. We should have said something to the restaurant but everyone was busy …. We will be back as this was very unusual.

            We arrived on time and seated immediately in the “library “. Given ample time to review menu. This is a no pressure, no hurry setting. Staff and owner who prepares our meal table side were great! The flavours of our choices were fabulous. Portions are quite large. My wife was unable to finish hers. Due to the fact there are several different rooms in this old house you don’t see or come into contact with other customers. All in all we had a fabulous experience!!!

            Just excellent. Right across the board. From Micheal's building Caesar salad, blueberry tea and nitro ice cream table side to 4 great entries. The prices are high but not outrageous in this day and age but the atmosphere and experience was worth every dime!

            The service was extremely slow and lacking the normal energy. A couple that came In After us were half way through their meal before we got drinks. We have been going there for over 30 years. Half is for the experience. The table side service and the interaction with the waiters. And please 45.00 for 2 ceasar salads We are talking about lettuce garlic some oils and cheese. This may not be our go to for special events in the future.
