We had a good experience at the R. Mostly because our server Christian was a HOOT. Super talkative and friendly - quick to share opinions on everything. The food was good - we had the Caprese Salad, the Schnitzel Oscar, the Breakfast Poutine (creative!), the Grilled Chicken Salad and the French toast. Our server Christian said we had just missed the big morning rush - when we were there, there were very few customers, which is good in my opinion because then the food comes out more quickly! We had a diner who didn't eat pork for some reason, so the R chefs did a great job substituting and putting the delicious bacon on the side. The portions were good size and came out warm. Plus free entertainment from Christian. It was actually the birthday of the non-pork-eating-guy in our party, and they comped us a nice Key Lime Pie cheesecake! I had a crumble for dessert too - all delicioso. We'll be back to the Big R next time we're in Abbotsford. read more

This restaurant is affiliated with the Rendezvous restaurant. It is across the street from Real Canadian Superstore. It is difficult to spot as the signage is not prominent. It is a large restaurant but tables are not crowded together and there is a very nice warmth and coziness to the restaurant. It is not loud and it is nice to be able to converse with your table companions. Our server Adrian was amazing. He was on top of things and made recommendations. He was always there when required and yet did not hover over us. We each had a glass of wine. For an appetizer we shared an order of saganaki. It was flamed at the table. It was okay but the cheese was not melted throughout so we had melted cheese on the outside and then the middle was just a regular slab of cheese. For entrees my husband had the steak sandwich. It was cooked exactly as he requested and it was tasty. I ordered the citrus glazed salmon with vegetables and Greek roast potatoes. It was a decent size portion and was good. It is a nice restaurant. The décor and ambiance is nicer that a basic coffee shop. The music wasn't too loud. The service was outstanding. The food was average. Prices are a bit on the high side for what is served. read more

The R restaurant is not affiliated with the rondezvous . It was bought and changed. the menu has been changed and is very bad. if it was not for the server we would have left. the bacon on the burger you could not chew and was cooked to being very bad. We got married in the previous rendezvous and all that is left is some tables at the new place. you can not even get a Greek salad. it was very bad. we will not go back to the R resturant ever. read more

We have eaten here many times, and the food is generally very good. Our visit on Saturday night was a little different. There were a lot of young staff standing at the bar shouting, swearing, and generally being immature young people, which they were. However its not the ambience we've come to expect at this Rendezvous. My husbands meal, steak and lasagna, was great. I had the Pork Schnitzel Oscar, which sadly turned out to be raw in the center. The server was very kind, and took it off the bill. I just wondered if the shenanigans going on at the front of the house affected the kitchen. Anyway, terrific lasagna and the best Greek salad in town. read more

We had a very large group, food was timely, great flavor and wonderful service. I will definitely go back. Check it out, across from Denny and superstore in Abbotsford. read more

Stayed at the hotel close by and came here with a friend. She had been to another Rendezvous and declared it pretty great. Turns out, the two restaurants aren't affiliated anymore.. Showed up around 4:30pm to an empty restaurant. I was suspicious. Boy, was I wrong. By the time we left the place was packed, so I'm glad we got the personal service we did while it was still quiet. Service was outstanding - friendly, informative, helpful. Food was also excellent and incredibly reasonably priced for the portion you get. They make their salad dressings so I recommend you try something with one - preferably the greek salad. I had the schnitzel of which half I had to take home because it was so big. Overall excellent experience. I will definitely be back the next time I stay at the nearby hotel. read more

Our first visit to the New "Re-Branding" of an old favourite! Dear Friends who have lived in The Valley forever introduced us to "Rendevous Restaurant" many years ago. . . The Now Closed location on Mt. Lehman Road in West Abby. . . the owners told us they wanted to re-brand as something more relaxing, cosy... something to "Call our own", as the owner said. In late August 2022, they opened a stand-alone, much larger place they have simply named: r restaurant. That is exactly what is on the new sign on the entranceway. It is a Beautiful facility, MUCH Larger than the other location. New menu, somewhat to our disappointment. . . Some of the old fav's have been dropped from the menu. For example, The Lasagna was probably their BEST Selling item, not only for many years but for Many Patrons! Look at all the Very Favourable reviews on TripAdvisor where visitors from all over the west coast rave about making a special trip to the old location so they could take the Lasagna home with them! We have a lot more to say about how things have changed, but will save them for next time. . . But, it would not be fair to review this new venture without a HUGE Compliment to our server. . . "Christian" is a fellow of rare talent. He made this entire First Visit memorable for many positive reasons. . . Keep it up, Buddy! YOU will be the key to the success of this new place. . . As long as they bring back the Lasagna, our friend said we could quote her on that! read more

Came on an understaffed and busy weekend evening. I would rate this so much lower if the staff had not been so attentive and helpful. However 100 minutes after ordering entrees still no food despite a less than 10 minute promise with nothing 15 minutes later. We got the food to go, comped two hours after ordering. A great birthday dinner for my wife (sarcasm). read more

I have been eating at this restaurant since it opened. I think the food it better then the other location. I usually have the Calamari dinner or lunch. Their from scratch Greek Dressing is amazing. I recommend you purchase a bottle for home. It is awesome for breakfast eggs, green salad, greek salad just to name a few. I don't usually order pasta to go except from them. I order baked lasagne with mushrooms. Again Amazing. Was a little concerned when I was told they were under new management awhile back. Didn't impact the food at all. Still awesome and I still go. To Go for now. Go early or make a reservation if you are going later as it gets really busy. read more

Seems like this restaurant is starting to go downhill. Food was unusually bland (No seasoning on the shrimp skewers?). Roast lamb was part of a family platter ordered, and it wasn't accompanied with our takeout. A bit disappointing, especially since the restaurant wasn't busy. Had they not delivered the roast lamb (albeit a half hour later just about as we finished dinner), I would've given this rating less. I've had better from Rendezvous in the past, but they need to step up their game. read more

I have been to this location many times. All of the staff are excellent; Erin is very helpful with reservations and party planning. The food is fantastic; last visit we had the calamari appetizer & prawn lunch - they also have a brunch on Sunday which is excellent. The prices are reasonable. Good parking. Highly recommend. read more

Be careful, all Rendevous locations are not the same! Huge difference between Chilliwack and Abby. Friday nights are take-out food and movie night! We tried the Chilliwack one twice with the same terrible result. Mt Lehman is a totally different experience. Everyone's friendly while waiting for order and food was fresh and amazing, great portions. They will continue to see me Fridays! Well done. read more
