The mussel app which I ate before thinking was special! A pastry shell w/ charcoal to make it black & and plump little mussel with herbs was an amazing start. Everything was gorgeous & tasty from there. Friendly relaxed service, short but excellent wine list, creative delicious cocktails- including impressive NA options. The view from the patio - spectacular. My photo is empty but/c we came on a whim - so we were there when it opened. By the time we left it was packed! On the pricey side, but a wonderful splurge. The tasting menu was a spectacular deal and luscious. All I know is that all summer squash should now be baked to a firm done (not mushy), stuffed with savory herby cheese filling & topped with fried onions. I'd go back here in a heartbeat. And try their other restaurants up in Sechelt & Vancouver

Just before the long weekend ended, I went to an exclusive dining experience at Black Market Supper…read moreClub located in South Surrey. It is hosted and prepared by a world class chef with no identity being revealed. They wear black masks during the entire time cooking in the kitchen. Location and time stay as a mystery until 72 hours before the dinner. Each dinner is attached to a unique theme, and our night is to honor 25 years Anniversary of the French Laundry. 72 hours before the dinner, I received the email which includes a detailed instruction on how to get to the said location and a suggested wine list to pair with the meal. Given said that, the dinner doesn't include alcohol, but sparkling, still water, tonic, soda, and cola are complimentary. You are more than welcome to bring your own bottle to enjoy the meal. The dinner began at 7pm, and we were told to arrive at 6:45pm. Feel free to mingle and find your seat, while waiting for the dinner to start! Once everyone is arrived, we commenced our dinner with the bread service, featuring Dutch Cheese Charcoal Gougères with 3 type of butter. - Lemon shallot and herb - Brown butter, burnt onion - Everything bagel I love the gougères, crispy shell with a hollow inside. It tastes great with the butters, and my favorite is to pair with the Lemon Shallot & Herb Compound Butter. Our next course is the Lobster Pancakes with carrot brown butter emulsion. The pancake is stuffed with a generous amount of lobster, chives, and mascarpone. I really enjoy the simplicity of the dish, but I wonder if it is meant to be served lukewarm. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed having each bite with a touch of the purée. Compared to the previous dish, the White Truffle Custard is more flavorful and on a saltier side. The truffle custard is served with a black truffle ragout in a colorful egg shell. The aroma from the truffle is lingering in the mouth, while enjoying the silky custard. Yabba Dabba Do is the main dish for the night, and I was looking forward to this dish the most. There are multiple components on the dish, which includes wagyu beef, beef chop and bone marrow stuffed inside a potato. It is then garnished with chanterelle mushrooms and bordelaise sauce. This dish is rich and flavourful. The beef chop is tender, and the meat just fell off the bone. My slice of wagyu beef is delicious and melts in my mouth. The bone marrow just oozes out of the potato, and it tastes delightful to pair with the potato. Lastly, the chanterelle and bordelaise played an important role on the dish, which add flavours and ease the heaviness that may bring by the protein. We ended our meal with a dessert (of course!), Chocolate Veloute. It is layered with a Dutch caramel cookie and cinnamon stick ice cream, with 24 karat gold powder and edible flowers as garnish. The dessert can get heavy after few bites, and it is difficult to crack the cookie to enjoy with other components on plate. I also found it very sticky and too sweet to my liking, especially right after a flavourful dish. * Overall Impression * I really enjoyed this dining experience with Black Market Supper Club, as it is mysterious and fun. Though each dish may have some flaws, I enjoyed the presentation and each element on the dish. I really like the idea of disclosing address and time few days in advance, which makes me more excited and looking forward to the dinner. Although it is far from the city, it is worth to go and enjoy a private dinner with a group of friends or family for special occasions.

I started with a flight of their popular beers: ​Salted Lime Lager, Paloma Grapefruit Lager, Cerveza Light Lager, Orange Fresca Pilsner. The beers have won a few awards so I was not disappointed. My least favourite was the cerveza. It had a strong rice flavour and compared to the rest, not memorable. The grapefruit was stunning! Probably my favourite. Next was the salted Lime. You really can't go wrong with that! All so unique and excited to grab these at BCLS now! I also got the Fondue Nachos (Tortilla chips with monterrey cheese, pico de gallo, home-made garlic mayo, pickled jalapeños, pico de gallo and refried beans). This was a pile of happiness. So many competing flavours and nice touches. The garlic mayo with the handmade salty chips was great. The refried beans combined with the guac was so fresh and warm!

Haven't had a dish here that I don't like and it's the most fun sitting at the bar watching your oysters get shucked live in front of you. Highly recommend and will keep telling everyone to go, I know I will continue to do so.

As to the food, well I appreciate the menu offerings, but the oysters were too old and of poor quality. Even the best types did not taste great. The grilled octopus tasted like burnt oil. The stuff that is extra that came with the caviar was just weird, mostly pickled vegetables and chips. Especially for the price, there are lots of other seafood restaurants that are better.
