We had a lovely dinner last night at Seahorse. It is a lovely restaurant. Small and cozy. We were 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. read more

Returned for a birthday celebration the other Sunday. They were able to accommodate a larger table and I finally tried the Prime Rib sunday special. 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. read more

Food portions are small for the price and inconsistent in size. Since we ordered 2 of the same entrees one was smaller than the other. The taste wasn't that good for the prime rib and worse for the lamb shank and rice. The prime ribs was too chewy and hard to eat. The Caesar salad was lacking in flavour too. The service was fast and friendly. The ambience is quiet, cozy and low lighting. Soft music was nice to hear while dining. I give Two stars for friendly service and ambience. Food quality, taste, portion size and price I give 0 stars read more

Restaurant opens at 5pm. Arrived shortly after opening and arrived with our pups. Hostess was very welcoming and sat us with the pups on the front deck. The deck has a roof with heaters so it is very pleasant to watch the sunset. The menu is has a large selection. I am vegetarian and found a few selections. My husband orders the caesar salad and grilled salmon and he said his meal was delicious. I ordered vegetarian gnocchi and loved it. We will be regulars at this restaurant. read more

Best impulse choice we made to eat here after an afternoon at crescent beach. I ordered the beef short ribs with smooth creamy mash potatoes, I enjoyed every last bite and felt very satisfied. Hubby ordered the Pork Schnitzel and his exact words "this maybe my new fav restaurant in Surrey" we loved the ambiance, the interior was really cute but we sat on the patio to enjoy the beachy vibe. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly, we highly recommend this experience and In fact we told a friend who immediately made reservations for tomorrow. read more

Incredible!!!! After a sunset scroll on the beach, we shared the surf and turf and it was scrumptious! This place is quaint, the servers are amazing and the chefs are amazing! Highly recommend this place! read more

An amazing dinner. Wow! Steak, prawn, mushrooms, baby potatoes, and more. Absolutely delicious. The dinner for 2 special.

This is a clear winner. Local Character, friendly service, family owned and run, and a talented chef who has a passion for food. My go to for date night. The service is always prompt and delightful. The menu changes with the seasons (as all good restaurants should). The specials are always delicious, fresh, usually local and well presented. I'm from Montreal, so an authentic atmosphere with creaky floor boards and local art is totally my jam. I love sitting at the bar and watching John and his staff do his thing. The iron chef... food network...please! This is true entertainment, and much more enjoyable to watch and smell. A clear sign of how good this place is, is to check out the clientele. Usually over 60, we'll healed and out for dinner midweek. The only reason it doesn't get more 5 star reviews is only because older people can't be bothered with reviews, or maybe they want to keep this place a secret so it stays the magical place that it is. This is a place to go with someone you love, appreciated and respect. read more

Food good atmosphere great but very noisy. Hard to talk Over dinner Other than that a. Funky place. Could be I'm just gittin. Olde. Y,all read more

My wife and I have wanted to visit this place for sometime and last night we had the unfortunate opportunity. We were really impressed by the space, seated at a nice table on the patio and our server was initially very attentive and helpful. Menus, a bottle of wine and water all came very quickly. Our orders were taken and that is where things stared to go very wrong. My wife order the gnocchi and I went for the poached salmon feature. We asked for some bread and waited... and waited.... and waited. In the 30 minutes it took to get our bread and the hour it took for the kitchen to get our mains out I had a lot of time to make observations. Our initially attentive server had started to all but completely ignore us, saying nothing but a quick "your food is almost ready" at both the 30 minute and 45 minute marks. We were left to refill our own wine glasses as it was painfully obvious that he was too uncomfortable to address the fact that we had all but finished our bottle before dinner had arrived. From our table on the patio I was able to see that the aging kitchen staff were on their last legs, you could see the disorganization as they panicked over the tickets laid out in front of them. You could feel the tension as the wait staff hovered around the kitchen watching these old men let them down once again. When our food arrived it was presented very nicely and had the appearance of something that would possibly have been worth the wait. It was not. My salmon was poached nicely but the saffron rice that had been described by our sever as risotto had been compressed into a round mold, horribly over cooked and had dried out on the top possibly do to the process used to reheat it. The canned artichoke hearts were the only item on my plate that had any flavor, completely overpowering the bland preparation of the other components. My wife described her gnocchi dish as oddly proportioned and dominated by awkwardly large chunks of vegetables. The gnocchi was well prepared but the complete lack of seasoning and the overly sweet squash purée sitting at the bottom of the plate made for another disappointing dish. This is a perfect example of a place that continues to stay in business due to a complete lack of other options in the area. read more

My boyfriend and I wanted to try out this place because we love seafood and our two year anniversary was coming up. It is a classy quaint jazzy place. We each ordered a glass of wine - I had a delicious malbec - SO good. We ordered the lobster cakes to share. Three beautifully presented cakes showed up - wow - so good. it had a relish along the sides that complimented the moist cakes. They were very tasty. My main was the braised short ribs which came with mashed potatoes, steam spinach and baby carrots and my boyfriends was linguini von gol - clams in a white wine sauce. Both dishes were amazing. My boyfriend had about a whole cup of steamed clams in his dish. Garilcy and lemony. My braised short ribs were fall apart tender and were mouth watering. Paired really well with my wine. For the quality of the food the price was right. We would loved to come back and sit on the patio to enjoy some oysters next time. Oh ...and we got engaged that very same evening on the beach! Thank you Seahorse Grill for a lovely start to our evening. it was a night to remember! read more

Lovely little hideaway with the right ambience. Excellent paella, and my wife's chicken breast special was perfect. They have a successful formula going to stay around a long time! read more

This spot has always been one of my favourite restaurants! We've had many birthday dinners and catered events from them. Incredible food and fantastic service! read more

Excellent food, nice quaint ambiance. Miscalculated tip last time I was there - sorry to the waitress!

Greta food. Cozy little romantic place. We love supporting local small business rather then the large more commercial restaurants. Will def be back!! Short, small simple wine menu and amazing seafood all around!! read more

Tonight we went to Seahorse Grill to celebrate our birthdays; mine was today and my wife's was yesterday. We had an awesome time. The Seahorse has a no frills rustic atmosphere with great food. I had the mussels starter followed by duck entree. Kathy had roast pear salad followed by the paella. All dishes had great presentations with wonderful taste. The service was great. Thank you Adam and Francina. We are planning our next trip. read more

Wonderful update on the menu and service. Main dishes still a little slow to come out so not the place to be if you are in a rush. Relax and enjoy the ambiance and the cozy fireplace. Some old favourites and some new items worth returning for. Taro chips and guacamole to start - the ratios were off, more chips than dip - but tasty. Thoroughly enjoyed the Clams Vongole as a main. Perfectly seasoned and presented well. Lamb shank across the table disappeared without a trace. read more

I took my parents here last night for Easter Dinner, We ordered the Lobster pot pie and my dad had the Liver and onions So delicious. we also had the Pate and toast along with there tiramisu with hazelnut ice cream. Everything we ordered was outstanding.... The place was packed great ambiance what a hidden little gem, our waitress was a delight. We will be back. read more

Absolutely one of our favourite restaurants. The staff is super friendly and professional. They are able to do well at remembering guest names. Makes you feel that your are at a friends house for dinner rather than a restaurant. As far as the food goes we gave eaten here many, many times and every time the food has been fantastic! Our favourites include the lobster puff pie and the mussels in a wine and chorizo base. There is always a good choice on the nightly specials that are very creative and tasty. Never disappointed at the Sea Horse. read more

Went for our second visit for my wife's birthday on Wednesday Dec 23. Our first visit was great so we were looking forward to it. Unfortunately when we got there the place was empty but we were only offered either a table pressed against the host station right in front of the door or one right beside the kitchen and beside their coffee maker. When we were asked if we could move we were told that there were lots of reservations coming in (which was logical) however, moments later someone came in who didn't have reservations for a table for 2 and was promptly given a 4 person seat back beside a window. When we informed the server that we were going elsewhere there was no question and just a shrug. A huge disappointment given our prior experience and went on the recommendation of a friend who is a chef. We enjoy fine dining and a $200 + evening was reduced to two drinks and dinner elsewhere. read more

Had a great dinner at the Seahorse Grill. Vegetable gnocchi was fabulous, as were chef and staff. Sat on the deck, enjoyed the wine, what could be better. Lava cake for dessert was killer!! Highly recommend. read more

This place is consistently great. Better to make reservations though to make sure you get a chance to experience the fantastic food and superb service. Just a little place but sooo much more. Practically everything on the menu is great but I particularly like the pate as a starter...TO DIE FOR!! and the prime rib here is second to none. Go Here!!! you will not be disappointed!! read more

I went here for the prime rib and yorkshire pudding dinner as advertised on a Sunday evening.I was so disappointed.The meat was tough,the potatoes were lumpy and I am not quite sure how one would describe the yorkshire pudding.The lady at the next table also had the same experience.The Sunday previous I tried the schnitzel and it was tasteless and very disappointing.I have also been to their sister restaurant,The hooked fish bar and tried the one piece of fish(baked)with fries.I got a piece of fish that was bout 2 inches square and did not taste fresh.The fries were ok.I certainly would not recommend either place for good dining experience.All I wanted was a good reasonable meal..and that was not to be.You might go on a night that the chef is enjoying what he is doing..but I sure lucked out.Sorry to have to post this as I believe in supporting neighbourhood businesses.If these two places don't shape up,they will soon lose a lot of their customers read more

My husband and I wanted to try Seahorse Grill as we had a good experience at the owners other restaurant called Hooked. We booked a table for our wedding anniversary. We opted for a table in the back patio as we did not want to sit in the dark interior on a sunny evening. We were seated up against a wall where the incessant banging and noise coming from the kitchen was bothersome, the wall vibrated and shook. After our starter we moved to the empty table across from us and our waitress did not even ask why we had moved. The chairs on the patio are metal with holes in the seats, so uncomfortable and thanks goodness I could adjust my skirt so my bare legs were not touching the metal, why not put some cushions on the chairs to make them comfortable. The service was minimal, it was clear that the restaurant did not have enough wait staff to handle the clientele and our waitress was rushed and gave poor service. We ordered a very nice bottle of Dirty Laundry wine which we thought was well priced. We noticed that other customers were ordering the shrimps so we decides to order them to share after the waitress described them glowingly. For $17.95 we got 5 medium size frozen prawns that were grilled on the barbecue, there was a nice sauce but the prawns were tasteless and a sticky mess to remove the burnt shells. Terrible value. I was going to order the prime rib but was told they only had medium or well done left so I decided against it as I like my prime rib medium rare like most people. So I chose the scallops as my main but they were sold out so I opted for their specialty Lobster pot pie. Wow what a disappointment, the sauce was runny and tasteless with strings of lobster and a few thin vegetables, it was so disappointing I could have been eating imitation crab for all I knew. The dish was accompanied with a few lettuce leaves. Not worth $27.95 by any stretch of the imagination. My husband opted for the night's special, veal with blue cheese sauce and gnocchi. The flavour was good, but there was a very small portion of veal, and barely any gnocchi. He asked the waitress for more gnocchi and she said there would be a charge, we agreed. A small portion of gnocchi arrived in a bowl of cream sauce. When we got the bill we discovered that the special was $38.00 and the charge for gnocchi was $10.00 which made the total for this less that satisfying entree $48. Are you kidding me, those are Hawksworth prices! We had lemon tart and brioche for dessert which were nice, but nothing special. The total bill came to $165.89, an outrageous price for what we ate!!! Like Mike M's review we were shocked at the prices of the specials and we feel the waitress should have told us the prices in advance. We will not return to the Seahorse Grill, we were very disappointed. read more
