Old Surrey Restaurant

Impeccable service as always. One of the rare places that still do table-side service for house made Caesar salad and some flambeed entrees and desserts. Food is top notch and it's a great place to go for celebrations and candlelit dates!

Overall it was a good experience as the service was very good. This is a quaint little restaurant with a fine dining atmosphere and a highly attentive service staff. The food has great presentation, but the flavour was a little on the bland side, but still very edible. We had the following:
- Jumbo prawns which weren’t so jumbo, pretty much the frozen prawns you find at Costco with a bit of seasoning sautéed. They give you about 5 or 6, which is like $21.5/10

- clam chowder was very tasty 8/10

- Rib eye is 12 oz and was tasty, but not the tenderest for $50.6/10

- Rack of Lamb was seasoned well, but could use a bit more salt. Expect about 6 racks, but on the small side. Like 75% of the size you would get at Costco. 7/10

What can you add about a reliably excellent institution? If you haven't tried this place yet, you're missing out.

Must have the traditionally served Caesar salad. Seriously.

Excellent food and customer service. Loved every moment of it. We ordered August special. Loved the tableside service and the way it was presented. The staff was very pleasant and approachable. The food came out very quickly after each course. Would definitely recommend old surrey restaurant to others for a date night or celebration.

This place is truly a gem in Surrey. It feels like we're entering someone's home when going inside the restaurant. The food was delicious and unlike other upscale restaurants it was actually filling. The service was great, very good at working with adjustments and were pretty charismatic. I will definitely come here again to see how they'll change!

As a restaurant, I truly enjoy the dining experience and can't recall anything negative. I have been there multiple times to dine with that "someone special" or with a group of friends, and I think it's the proverbial hidden secret.edit to add: And the food has been absolutely spot on - what you'd expect of a high end, quality restaurant. (end edit)

HOWEVER, where this establishment loses some big marks is in its very recent ABUSE of the restaurant mailing list when its owner (Philip A.) ran for local political office.

It appears that anyone who had consented to be added to the restaurant mailing list for restaurant specials, etc; was deemed by Philip to have consented to receive his political campaign messages.and even after the campaign was over, those messages kept coming.

I personally (and politely) replied to these Emails asking to be removed from the list, and expressed my concerns about how I thought it inappropriate to take customer consent for restaurant communications and use that information for political reasons. Unfortunately, despite several Emails, I received absolutely no reply. But I did keep getting those political campaign Emails.

It's a shame the owner of this establishment isn't able to draw a line between the restaurant business and their personal political aspirations and affiliations.edit to add: And for the record, I know there are exemptions to the laws about unsolicited communications for political purposes. While I don't necessarily agree with self-serving politicians making laws to exclude themselves from the law, that's not my concern here. My concern is that this restaurant owner converted the information I had provided for one specific purpose, and used it for another.

An exquisite taste of fine dining.a wonderful intimate private dining room.truly exceptional service from warm inviting staff.the food was so fresh, flavourful and prepared with such pride and and skill I felt like a privileged guest in the chef's home. Very well done staff and owners. I thank you for the experience

Place is great place to take someone out. 4 course meal with a few selections. I'd recommend it

Surprisely good classic restaurant. Highlight of the night was the table size sabayon, a must try dessert

Absolutely delicious food! Fantastic service! The only thing I would change was the uncomfortable chairs. 9.5/10 Thanks for great food!

Went there for the first time with my son, daughter in law and step grand son. Really enjoyed everything about it. I would recommend definitely

We came out to Old Surrey for our marriage blessing dinner a while ago. The service was amazing and we were treated to a number of complementary items from the chef including some bubbly. A timeless and classy experience. We'd love to swing back in for an anniversary date.
Salute to the chef and the amazing staff

Food is always great, we have been going there for over 25 years. Great table-side service on some meals. Ceasar Salad is the best fresh-made table-side for 2 or more. After dinner drinks are great tasting and a good show in preparing them. We have brought friends the last couple of times, and they love it as well. One thought Atlas was the best they have been to, but now they are hooked on the Old Surrey House.

It's definitely not a cheap place to go for dinner by no means but the food was all perfectly cook and it all tasted so good, I was very happy with the meal.

Old Surrey Restaurant is a house converted into a restaurant. This was our first time there and it was AMAZING. The ambience is beautiful.
The menu is wonderful. Everything we ordered was presented so well, at the perfect temperature and the flavor and taste impeccable. Their table side Tiramisu and Irish Coffee was a total treat. Tai was amazing with his table side pizzaz. It was fine dining at such wonderful prices. We truly had the best evening and definitely will be back.
Everything was on point. We just felt we had to wait for service quite a bit. We waited with empty plates for a while before we were cleared and offered the next course.
Also we were asked if it was a special occasion while doing our online booking but no one addressed our special occasion while we were at the restaurant. That is the only feedback.

There's a reason this restaurant has been around for so long. The food and the service are both top knotch

This was a delightful place to dine out for special occasion. Compliments to the chef for the delicious dinner. Friendly but professional staff too.

The meal and service were outstanding. They made the Caesar salad, ice cream and special coffee at the table. You don’t see that anymore. Totally recommend.
