Booked 5 times today
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.

    I celebrated my birthday at Lupo and had such a wonderful experience. As a frequent visitor, I’ve always enjoyed coming here, and this visit was just as amazing. The food and service were outstanding, and everyone was so welcoming from the moment we arrived. It’s a great spot for small events, date nights, or even a casual bite with friends. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable, and the whole evening was very well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Lupo and will continue coming back.

    This is a wonderful classic fine dining restaurant. It's over 50 years old but you'll understand why it's been very well-supported and loved once you step inside and try their food. From the ambience, white table cloths, table side preparation of the Caesar's Salad, and mostly classic French and French-inspired cuisine with excellent sauces, everything was good. I wish it 50 more years!

    Always a pleasure dining here. Giusti is definitely one of my favorite places and I highly recommend to friends when they are looking for ideas of where to dine. The pasta always feels good on my teeth and the sauces delicious. I appreciate how the server noted it was my second time there (actually, I’ve been there more often, the reso just wasn’t under my name 🤗). They’re very attentive. One time I left my sunglasses there and they texted me asap and held onto them for me til I found time to get them. Thank you 🙏
