Venetis Restaurant

I went there after being recommended by a friend.
The quantity and taste are great for the price!
There is also a kids menu, so if your kids are young, it's enough to share between two people, and the staff recommended it as well.

We ate souvlaki and steak from the year-end menu.
It was really delicious and the kids almost ate my husband's steak.
The steak was delicious too

With 3 menu items, 2 adults and 2 children can eat plenty.

And the staff are so friendly

Rudest little old waitress I've ever run into. Had to audacity to question me calling out her disgusting attitude as well.

Seems she's responsible for a few 1 star reviews.

Today was my first time at Venetis, OMG what a beautiful place with excellent food and outstanding quality if service. Ariana thank you for being very kind and alert with all your tables, also for being that happy and bring joy! For sure I'll go, most probably for the thanks giving dinner. Thank you for bringing that amazing experience to your customers. Andrea

My family and I have been going to Venetis for 20 plus years and the service has diminished especially on the weekend, even from staff who have been working there for years. The beef was all over cooked when we had told them how we wanted it done. The manager is exceedingly stingy and never honors discounts for lousy food and service, and marks up prices for larger groups. We had been interrogated for a smaller from of 5 to 7 people, asking if we were celebrating anything so they could add a 15% tip and an up- priced menu, very tacky and lousy service. Although the service is very poor, there are not many good places for steak left in the area besides Venetis. The majority of the staff are nice and the restaraunt is very clean, but has dark atmosphere. Soup or salad is also a great touch for included appetizers with most meals. The tatziki and souvlaki are the best hands down! They definitely know how to cook Greek food, although more of a steak house. Food can be salty.

Excellent food, but the soup with the steak is always the same and very salty, but the rest of the food is really good.

The vibe is super old school which I find quite charming. The service has old school diner vibes as well. I generally prefer less attentive staff, but I can't really complain about that. It's really up to personal taste. I'm a dark booth in the corner kind of person generally. I'll definitely have to go back though because the steak was delicious! Tender and flavourful and cooked perfectly. If you're craving a steak in Langley, this place knows what they're doing.

They make you feel at home! Always warm and welcoming. The steaks are the best and the prices are super good. My favorite restaurant!

Had to do a post about this place- It was that good!
Went for a Friday night meal with friends. The restaurant was full; it is clearly popular here so lucky that we had a reservation. I ordered an 8 ounce sirloin steak with baked potato with a salad to start. First of all, where do you get an 8 ounce steak anymore for 24$ Answer? Absolutely nowhere!
It was done to perfection and looked more like 10-12 ounces, they give you a many toppings as you want on your potato and a starter salad to boot for 24? Cmon! That's awesome!
Throw in the extremely friendly, fast, courteous service and its no contest- well done, Venetis!
They don't offer a salad bar currently (a salad bar is a rarity anyways these days) in assuming due to Covid but that's a very minor detail.

I have had the #1 Lasagna Special with a Order of Ceaser Salad Several Times and it is on Point every Time, Yummy.

My family went to eat steak. The ribs and pasta were also delicious. The owner looked Italian. From the outside, the interior was very bleak. Then how about it? I enjoyed it.

On my second visit a few months later, the vegetables were not very fresh. So I reduced the stars.

What a wonderful meal we had at Venties. Chicken & prawn souvlaki served with rice, broccoli, pita and Greek salad.
Chicken and prawns were seasoned well and cooked to perfection. The rice was the highlight of my meal, buttery and delicious. Salad was typical with tomato, cucumber
Onion, olive and feta cheese, well dressed and yummy.
Chicken & Rib combo came with lasagna that was enough for a meal on its own. Ribs were fall of the bone
So glad we found this gem and can’t wait to go back and try the steak

Steak was grilled to my preference and the lobster tail was perfect! Caesar was just perfect!

Well this is the 3rd and most definitely the last time I will go to this Restaurant. I always give places a second try but I think the water that I was handed to me with a fly in it was an omen of things to come.
The last time I was there 3 out of 7 meals were undercooked. This time I started with a Ceaser which was ok but really plain but ok. Then my meal, steak and prawns. The prawns where ok but the steak, ordered medium, was raw. They did offer a replacement but as I was the last person served wasn't feeling especially after seeing my wife's dish. She order the Chicken Soulvaki. The chicken when removed from skewer my wife double checked with me was on the pink side. Well that was enough. Not risking that anymore. That's the 3rd time invited, 3rd time something is undercooked. Please check yours and hopefully you have a good meal.

Remember this place as a kid. Going with Mom and Dad. Well last night was my second visit as an adult. It did not disappoint. The food is superb. Exactly how it has always been. The best French onion soup anywhere hands down. The steaks and pasta and sides were all perfectly seasoned and cooked. Appetizers really nice as well. Now for the service. Obviously family owned and operated I'm assuming so they really take it up to that next level showing how much they appreciate the business. Just an outstanding experience all around.

Was disappointed. Canned shrimp in pasta (my kid ate kinetic sand earlier, didn’t touch that mess though), standard chicken strips with no fries (honestly, 4.99 Wendy’s is similar) and a lasagna that was similar to a frozen one from save on that I could have baked myself. Not Walmart quality, but just a touch above. Gotta give credit where it’s due.

For just under 100 bucks, I’d go elsewhere for half the price and better food.

This place is straight out of kitchen nightmares, and it wouldn’t survive anywhere other than Langley.

The “veal Oscar” was dreadful. Clearly a frozen food product topped with canned crab and shrimp. Served steaming hot from the microwave! Almost every item on the menu is a combination of canned ingredients. They still make a big deal about including the “salad bar” in the price
— it’s all over the menu: “entree comes with rice and salad bar” — plot twist: there is no salad bar, haven’t offered it for years, they still charge you for it though! Instead, they offer you a depressing green salad in lieu, which I have included a picture of, very sad. A few shreds of lettuce on a nearly empty side plate with a comically large portion of salad dressing - only three dressings to choose from, but don’t ask the waitress to repeat them or she gets upset.

They made a big deal of offering AAA top sirloin steak on one of their specials, but made no mention of the grade for their filet or NY steak on the regular menu. When I asked the server if the filet was also AAA she was quite rude, said she “didn’t know” and seemed impatient. She really didn’t like answering questions and she made that very clear. I think a good server would have asked someone who did know, and then told me. All she did was place pressure to order and make the experience sour.

I found no reason to return, be it the cheap, fake-fancy microwaved food, the hostile service, or the shabby decor. I imagine this vibe would be a hit in nursing homes and hospitals.

The food was absolutely amazing and very well priced. We had a steak and tiger prawn dinner with baked potato for only $27 a meal. The atmosphere is cozy, but it can also get really busy. I recommend a reservation or showing up before opening if you don't want to wait.

Hands down the best old school steak house I’ve been too in a long time. Service was amazing! Will go back every time we are back in the area!

Poor quality, tasteless, very expensive.
$90 for red meat sauce lasagna, chicken strips and a seafood lasagna, that was noodles, sauce, and shrimp. Sauce was horrible. Stay away

*edit*, you're right, i mistyped, it was seafood fettuccini, but nice try to distract from your disgusting food instead of making it right. Shows that you're a cheap, tasteless company to match your food.cheap meat sauce, canned shrimp

For the price you pay the portions are large and great quality. The service staff is happy to serve. A quiet place that looks better on the inside than the outside. Don't judge this book by its cover its a great place to eat.

Good portion size but not amazing for the price and a dark, noisy place. Seemed short staffed as we had to ask for refills. Wouldn't go out of my way to go there.

EXCELLENT. TOP QUALITY. RESTAURANT. I've been dining here since 1988. I live in Edmonton now but travel to Vancouver often. I Always make a point of visiting VENETIS. IVE HAD WONDERFUL MEALS AND SERVICE FOR 34 years. If you have not dined here you are missing out on a wonderful dining experience. THANK YOU VENETIS and all the wonderful Staff.you are all truly great.
