I would like to say that everything was excellent however, the ceasar salad was horrible $14.00 for the smallest bowl ever and it was wilted. When paying for the bill the waitress asked how everything was and I mentioned the wilted salad. The other waiter...said well you didn’t say anything before so no we are not going to compensate you. Not good!!More

The fish and chips that was ordered was some of the smallest Halibut I have seen. The fries were like remnants from the day before. The coleslaw was so bad that I spit out the first forkful. The service was some of the worst I...have experienced, leaving our empty pâtés in front of for 45 mins. Never refilling our water, it’s like they just did it care. The waiter should tie his shoulder length hair up, or put on some sort of hair net.my family will never returnMore

Lovely weekday dinner date, with chicken dinner that reminds me of homecooked meals. Large portions, and very tasty. Restaurant is casual and cozy and service is excellent. Thank you Keith. Desserts looked excellent, but we were too full, so will try next time. The location...in Crescent Beach is also great for a walk after dinner on a nice day.More

Food was great, portion size & flavours all great. Service unfortunately was the drawback. Server was young, maybe inexperienced? But hardly the only issue. First drinks were slow, food should have been warmer, lamb came out overcooked, a litany of issues. We will try again,...but not on a Saturday night.More

The good; Service was very good. The food was unacceptable in terms of preparation/ taste/ and most home cooks would have done a better job. Pricing for portions were ridiculous: i.e. a cabin salad priced at $13.00 CAD comprised of 2 cups of lettuce (...I kid you not) and not much of anything else. Our jaws dropped at what was presented and we questioned this? 2 piece Halibut and chips- haha, fish was the size of 1.5 Inches width x " 3.0 inches length each and fries, which all where Burnt. Looked like fried in very old oil. I commented on size of fish and they said they go by weight. Well, the weight is about 75 gm/ or 0.165 pd/ or 2.64 oz for $25.00 . This looks like 2 pieces of fish the length and size of a normal pinky finger. My replacement meal was Seafood Linguine- the pasta was cooked mush. Total bill came to $300. CAD for 5 people. Be aware and good luckMore

Four of us, meeting for the first time in almost a year; one couple from Richmond, one couple from Pitt Meadows, converged in Crescent Beach for lunch. We made a reservation, although it was so very quiet, for a while, we were the only ones...there. Homey, relaxed environment, tables placed far enough apart to be comfortable. Menus waiting for us at the table. Parking was decent. Food was excellent. I asked for a slight deviation on a menu item, and Tracy - owner - was very accommodating. Two of us ordered New England Clam Chowder, which was delicious. Something on the menu I had never seen before: on the dessert menu was an offering of 'twofer'. Two desserts on the one plate, for those of us who couldn't make up our minds. So, the four of us made a choice, and the portions were big enough for us all to share. We didn't feel rushed at lunch, and that was great for us to have time to catch up.More

Cosy Rustic Restaurant in Crescent Beach, a quiet seaside community in Surrey. I enjoyed the garlic prawn appetizer and the seafood cioppino was awesome. ( Bring a bib!!) Well prepared, prawns, snapper, steelhead trout, onion and rice noodle. Delicious and reasonable.

We were visiting Vancouver but staying in Surrey and wanted a nice, casual restaurant with upscale food. We were not disappointed selecting The Cabin. It is a cozy, relaxed restaurant with very good food and excellent service. I had the seafood clam chowder to start...and the cioppino. The chowder was the best I have ever had. So good that my wife begged for the recipe, to no avail. She had the stuffed chicken with garlic mashed potatoes and seasonal veggies. This dish was also very good. Our daughter had a steak that was extremely well prepared. The wine list is short but reasonably priced. We had to drive quite a way to get to the restaurant but it was well worth the effort.More

We have come here a few times over the last few years . On this occasion we came for lunch with another couple . The food was great ( I had and liked the shortrib sandwich my wife had a club . She said it...was one of the best she’d ever had ) . Service was great . Price was quite reasonable . The room is a little tired but lots of interesting memorabilia. Location is just up from Crescent Beach .More

The Cabin is a great unpretentious place with good service and outstanding food. We had two orders of the fresh halibut which were cooked to perfection with an outstanding sauce; the stuffed chicken breast was a good sized serving with a great sauce; the steelhead...was cooked to perfection and delicious; everyone remarked on the excellent cook on the vegetables. The menu is at an average price point and the food is superior to most. Service was quick and attentive without being intrusive.More

Our server Riley was awesome, very knowledgeable about the menu and the wine selection. The food was delicious, I had the short ribs and they were so tender I didn’t need a knife. My wife had the seafood ciopini and it also was delicious.
