We had a lovely dinner last night at Seahorse. It is a lovely restaurant. Small and cozy. We…read morewere warmly welcomed when we arrived and were given a choice of tables. We opted to sit near the window. The room is nicely decorated and the tables all have good lighting and are well spaced apart, so conversation is easy. It is quiet and very relaxing. The food and service were really good. We told our server that we were in no rush and he allowed us time between courses. He was very good explaining all the specials of the day to us. There were only 2 servers but they seemed to handle the full dining room very well. They had a special appetizer, soup and entrée. We shared jumbo prawns in a sundried tomato aioli as an appetizer. It was lovely with 5 jumbo prawns perfectly cooked in a delicious sauce. For entrees my husband had a New York steak with tomato and bone marrow butter and I had wiener schnitzel. My husband's steak was perfectly cooked and one of the nicest steaks that we've had. My wiener schnitzel came with spätzle and red cabbage. It was better than the wiener schnitzel that I had recently at a restaurant that specializes in German food. We shared a chocolate lava cake for dessert. It was served hot in a small ramekin and come with vanilla ice cream. It was a good way to end our meal. It was a great night out.

I would have liked the meat to be a little more well done (especially when they ask you for your preference) but overall it was delicious and a generous portion. We also brought our toddler along to the restaurant. I was pleased to discover they had a kids pasta meal (need to ask the waiter for the menu options). We chose the pasta and butter parmesean and added prawns for an additional charge. Our little one loved it and slathered the pasta sauce all over their face as they were eating. Final note: this restaurant doesn't have high chairs available so if you little one still needs some sort of booster seat, you'll need to pack your own.

It is nothing fancy, in fact it's always a bit cold and with wooden chairs and tables. I believe it was a "Post Office" at one time? That said, you can't get a better meal! We both had a bowl of their Cream of Broccoli soup and it was arguably the best I have had. I also had a Caesar Salad which I love but this one had a Balsamic reduction. I wasn't sure how they would do it but I tried it. Not a fan! The salad was fresh and wonderful but the sweetness of the reduction just didn't belong in my opinion. Some chefs just need to try to improve great receipts but some need to left alone. lol Again, my humble opinion. Only complaint was that our table was sticky... Not a big deal and I was aware of the salad but tried it anyway. Want to come back and try the Mussels!

Knowing it would be a busy day, I made a reservation in advance, which I'm glad I did. This restaurant had fairly good reviews, so we decided to give it a try. When we arrived, I was a little surprised. The restaurant was much more casual than I expected, and the ambiance felt a bit dated. We ordered the half dozen fresh oysters, spinach salad, seafood linguine, and the Creole chicken. Unfortunately, the oysters were disappointing. They weren't as plump or flavorful as the fresh oysters I've had in Vancouver, and they were served with tobiko, which I've never seen paired with oysters before. It wasn't a combination I enjoyed. The spinach salad was good, although I thought it was a bit overdressed. The seafood linguine was also enjoyable, with a generous amount of seafood, though I wasn't expecting it to be made with pesto sauce. It was still a tasty dish. The Creole chicken was just okay--the chicken breast was a bit dry, but the sauce helped make up for it. Overall, I felt the prices were a bit high for the quality of the food and the casual atmosphere. It may be a good option by White Rock standards, but if this restaurant were in Vancouver, I don't think it would stand out. That said, the service was excellent. Our server was genuinely friendly, attentive, and provided the best part of our dining experience.

And while there are no shortage of seafood restaurants serving fresh crab on the Steveston waterfront, we wanted to give The Crab King a fair shake. I'm so glad that we did! My wife ordered a King Crab for herself which, after tearing it literally limb-from-limb, eventually declared it to be tied for her favorite boiled crab dish anywhere! High praise coming from such a consummate crustacean connoisseur! For myself and our son, an order of fish and chips, and the grilled chicken sandwich rounded out our order, both of which were crispy, tasty and delicious. Regarding the fish and chips, they appeared to be tempura-battered, and I'm still not 100% sure what type of fish it was. It may have been cod, but it seemed more like catfish, but either way, it was tender, juicy, flaky and delicious. No complaints here! More than anything, though, the employees here went out of their way to make our experience enjoyable. Our toddler son, who is normally extremely well-behaved in restaurants, was having a bit of a fuss here and there. Without prompting, the servers brought us a little radio to play music for him, as well as a couple of toys to play with, one of them being a wind-up truck that they gave to him to take home! He loved it there, and still plays with it at home! They even played peek-a-boo with him from behind the counter, soliciting laughs and giggles, for the better part of 15 minutes! That sort of customer service is nearly impossible to find, and should be praised and cherished wherever it is found! Whatever the past may have held for this restaurant, the Crab King is an entirely new animal now, serving up fresh seafood by uncommonly wonderful employees, in a fantastic floating location. They even offer to cook spot prawns and other seafood purchased from the boats docked at the nearby waterfront marketplace, for a modest fee. With all these things going for it, there's no doubt who wears the crown of Crab King in Steveston Harbor!

It was a long time coming and they did not disappoint! From the warm and inviting atmosphere, and historical heritage house setting, to attentive waitstaff, and delicious menu options, served in the highest quality and with attention to detail, we were blown away. They sat us promptly at our reservation time, pulling the table for us to sit comfortably. Free complimentary crab puffs were given along with ice water, free baguette slices, and whipped butter. We ordered our martinis, which were delicious vibrant, balanced, and themed to the city. They were delicious and the mixture was mixed perfectly. He had the White Rock and enjoyed it; I had the Green Timbers. Our charcuterie was expertly plated and gorgeous to look at, along with fresh and delicious. The cheese, cured meats, and fruits were fresh, crisp, tangy, and perfectly paired with one another for a solid appetizer. We then had our encores. The steak I had (he had the duck) was the most supple, soft, juicy, and perfectly cooked medium rare I've had in my memory. I swear. If you love steak.. you'll love it. Perfectly seasoned, supple and soft... gorgeous. Along with the pillowy, crispy potatoes and veggies? Classic! The waitstaff were friendly, efficient, attentive, and cordial, with a smile and clearly loved their job. Ours, Mike, said he'd been at the place for over 10 years.. clearly, he liked coming to work. It's great to see! We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our experience at the Old Surrey Restaurant and will 100% be back again, as well as plan. On gifting dinner to the in laws. If a restaurant could have a perfect score, in my books, this would be almost (if not) it!

The wine flights were not great. The wines tasted oxidized. The service was OK, the guys doing the table side were excellent. Our waitress I think the table beside us had her running in circles being extremely demanding over a red wine so I'm not sure if that's why our service was not great. I feel that considering it was not just any anniversary but our 25th, they did nothing to make the evening feel special which was disappointing. I'm disappointed as I was so excited to try Old Surrey Restaurant as we were hoping we could come here going forward for birthdays and anniversaries.

I got the uni sashimi and umami bomb, and those were to die for. The lobster poutine stole the show for my boyfriend and me, the serving size was generous and very filling. We got so much quality seafood for less than $100 CAD- this would easily go for so much more in the Bay Area.

Being a busier night, it was a little hard to get served even when we sat at the bar; we had to wait nearly 15 minutes before being able to place an order. We each had their Clam Chowder, which was pretty salty to say the least. The addition of real clams did make it tasty, BUT the clams also had a lot of sand... were they washed? This was not a fun soup to eat... It was also served with a crumbly muffin, which was not my favorite. The Mussels & Clams in white wine sauce was tasty, though it had the same issue of being sandy. We also had their Crab Cake - thankfully not sandy here. (I'd be scared if they were...) The crab cakes with real crab were tasty - loved this one! We also had their Daily Shucker's Dozen oysters, which included two smaller ones and a larger one. The large one... was most definitely meaty, briny, and not as tasty as the smaller, sweeter ones. I believe our smaller ones may have been the Fat Bastard and Sweet Select, while the larger one was off menu from Washington. On the topic of busyness, we didn't get our oysters until very late into the meal - nearly an hour. They actually had forgotten our order, and we had to remind them, which they said "soon" until "soon" ended up being nearly 20 minutes! We were told that a shucker was working on it, only to see that tray being sent to another table... sad!
