Great fine dining at affordable prices. I'd be paying double for the same in Vancouver, if not more.

We were very excited to go for dinner with our friends at Restaurant 62 specifically to try their Dine-out Menu. The waitress recommended the Beet Salad, Chicken Waffles, Mushroom Lasagna, Pork Duo and the Schlosserbuben. She specifically did not suggest the Steelhead. The Beet Salad was very good, but nothing compared to the Beef Tartare my husband ordered - it was phenomenal! Thank goodness I ordered the Steelhead - it was the only good meal at the table and I ended up sharing 1/2 of it with my husband. His food was inedible! Both Mushroom Lasagnas at the table were burnt on the bottom and awful. The Pork Duo was dry, dry, dry. The desserts were nothing to rave. The creme caramel was okay, just that - okay and I've eaten a lot of them!. I was shocked the 2 Lasagnas were on the bill at the end of the night! My husband hadn't eaten any of his. The waitress simply took the plates away. No manager, no nothing and we had specifically told her the food was inedible. Actually, the waitress brought the bill to the table right away. Then again, they were also out of the wine we had ordered. Overall, a very disappointing evening that were all so excited about. read more

Where did all these 5 start reviews come from??? Everything but the service was a complete fail at this restaurant. Maybe our expectations were too high. Regardless, the experience and the food left a bad taste. We will not return, so disappointed. Please consider carefully before you empty your wallet at Restaurant 62. read more

3 things about 62: 1. not sure why this restaurant is listed under "french". should be "canadian". local, fresh, amazing food, amazing presentation. 2. BAhahaahAHHAAHAHAHHAA i'm laughing at the peeps who call this restaurant "pricey" "expensive" "high priced". you guys are seriously from the burbs! this fine dining restaurant is a steal. you get top notch food and drinks for totally reasonable prices. you guys must not eat out much in vancouver where you get screwed over left and right by pretentious places with mediocre food that charge $22 for a glass of wine. (see my review for blackbird.) 3. fave server is paul. wow, talk about a professional. bonus things: risotto. brings a tear to my eye. also local art! all for sale and rotating...love the community-mindedness. i'm jealous of you abby folk! read more

Food was awesome! Service was great! It's on the pricey side so don't go there looking for cactus club prices. Well worth the money though! Will definitely be going back read more

Best meal I've had since Blue Hill at Stone Barns. I ordered a series of appetizers with a good and reasonably priced bottle of Okanagan red wine. Wonderful local cheese plate. A buttery/lemony seafood pasta bowl. Just the right size. But the best item was roasted local corn cream soup served over two served scallops and a dollop of bacon jelly. I asked the chef to tell me how to make the jelly. Not only did he tell me the method, he gave me a half pint sample to take with me. What a treat! read more

On 6/11/21. A girlfriend of mine recomended restaurant 62 she said it has great reviews. So we decided to go for lunch there just before 2pm. We were greated by Sarah she was our waitress. Right away i noticed she was in a bad mood. I asked her are u having a bad day today and she just stared at me. My friend said she is speaking to you why are you ignoring her? She place things on the table in an uncaring way. No eye contact no smile she banged things down or grabbed things u vould feel the tension from her. It made us feel uncomfortable to be honest.. it just was not a nice atmospher to be in. I could tell she was not happy or something was bugging her. I mentioned to my friend i guess shes having a bad day oh well i hope it gets better for her. We did move from outside patio inside due to it being cold. I guess that was more work for her. My friend got a sald but i got the Bc halibit 37. Sounded real good its about $37 bucks not a big deal if its cooked right.. We were there to enjoy and have a good afternoon. Sadly my halibut was rubbery and hard. I asked my friend for her opinion she said the same we broke it in the middle it was only tender in the middle but so hard and rubbery the rest of the way nice size fish tho but what good is it if the middle is great and the rest of it hard. Do u eat your fish when its hard? Halibut is agreat fish if cooked right. I was trying not to be upset or show my dissapointment. I mentioned to the waitress i was like im sorry i cant eat this can i please order something else. The manager came over and straight up said we happy with the fish the chef and I so we not gonna exchange it if we do u have to pay for both plates so u have to pay for it.. They must be struggling i thought maybe due to vovid but the attitude wow..Never in my life have i experienced this before. Not only that we got our bill handed to us right away basically telling us to leave. Like u not welcome here. Now my girlfriend and i are people of colour and im baffled at the high reviews this place has gotten and why our expetience was so different. I really hope it wasnt about our skin colour. But it sure didnt seem like any one else was getting this type of treatment. I am going to the news and radio about my experience its really unsettling to be treated this way. During covid we already dealing with depression and loosin loved ones and then to finally get out and experience this? I just have never been treated so rudly like this or experienced this type of annimosity. The fish was terrible.. would u pay 37 bucks for hard rubbery fish and be told if u dont like it too bad i expect u to pay for that plate? What would u do? Whats my rights in this situation? They put the fish in a to go box and we got our bill right away my friend was still eating her food we both had unfinished wine so we sat there and she finished her meal i drank my wine. I was trying hard not to let this bug me but i got home and cried this is horrible. I was polite to the manager i was kind to the waitress. I couldnt eat the fish I ate the mussels cause i was hungry i had to throw the fish away what a waste and how sad.. I do not recomend this place. If u can give me advice on how to deal with this please let me know.. i am gonna take this to the public so it never happens again to someone else.. horrible experience.. read more

Amazing restaurant. Great ambiance. Great service and the food is on point.

We had a fantastic dinner here. Perfect duck! Lovely appetizer with bacon wrapped dates...sooo good. The service was great too. We also enjoyed the music, perfect volume so you could enjoy conversation. It is expensive but the value is there and worth it! read more

Supberb Restaurant. Will definitely go back again. Service was awesome!

Best restaurant in Abbotsford, best wine,bourbon, and scotch selection. Seriously the best duck I have ever had, and everything on the menu is exquisite ! You truly get what you pay for read more

Went with my husband for our anniversary. With the great reviews here, I had high expectations. The carrot soup was excellent - served with roasted carrots (yum) but the little patty of rabbit meat had the consistency of canned tuna. Not a fan of that part.. but the soup tasted amazing. So far so good. We had the stuffed sole and the seafood special for entres. Sole and stuffing was overcooked, dry, and salty, and the risotto was runny, and even saltier... neither particularly appetizing. My seafood was ok - but bland! No seasoning at all (even salt!!) and the little serving of sauce was barely enough for 3 bites. Dessert (chocolate cake with homemade poprocks) was the highlight of the evening... but we left disappointed overall, and unlikely to return. read more

Restaurant 62 is hands down the best restaurant in the Fraser Valley for elegant, modern cuisine. I love that the Chef uses ingredients from local farms and that the menu changes to keep up with what's in season locally. This is a great special occasion restaurant but also a good spot for lunch or a weekday meal. I've taken lots of out of town guests there and they were always impressed. They have great catering too. read more

See all

The people at Restaurant 62 have an obvious passion for their food and wine, and it shows. I actually get excited when we heading over there, it is a small restaurant but has a big reputation amongst locals. You can see them baking their own bread, and creating their entrees. They had a rack of lamb special the other night that was fabulous. read more

My pork entree was delicious and melt-in-your-mouth tender. My companion enjoyed the salmon filet with the house special hot sauce, although she wasn't fond of the fish accent in the corn bread. read more

We frequent Restaurant 62 whenever we can. The food and service never fail to impress.

The food was really good! I had an aged cheddar risotto with scallops that was delicious. Only 4 stars because my dish didn't come out until after my partner was nearly finished eating (though they did refill our wine and give us a dessert on the house to make up for it!) read more

I dont get to dine here often but every time I go the food is always great and it is nice to get away from a franchise!!! And to have a great eatery and NOT to have to drive into Vancouver WooHoo! Gotta love that read more

Went here the other night after reading the reviews online. Seemed so promising! We started the night off with the chickpea dip and the octopus, which were fantastic. From there, the dinner went downhill. Our table had the salmon, cod, sablefish, and lamb. The lamb dish was beyond rare - it was raw. The salmon was so undercooked in the centre - it was like sashimi. The cod and sablefish dishes were cold and dripping in oil. The vegetable sides were barely cooked at all. They were not even close to "al dente." Overall, a terribly disappointing experience and for the price it just left an awful taste in our mouths. We will definitely not be returning. read more

Excellent food excellent customer services ... one of the great please to dine in Abbotsford with reasonable price

Hands down the best place for a romantic dinner in Abbotsford! I had the squash soup appetizer with Australian lamb striploin, beans, and Italian Sausage entree, and white chocolate and grapefruit cheesecake topped with matcha and a side of berries. Fantastic! read more

We've tried to go here several times, but they don't have vegetarian entrees. When we call in to ask what's on the menu, the waitress tells us that the cook can custom make us something - which is nice - but I don't feel like rolling the dice on what we're getting when the prices are so high. read more

We went to this restaurant for dinner Saturday and I would highly recommend it, the server was very knowledgeable and the food was delicious. read more

Came here for lunch a few weeks go. The service was great and the food was delicious. Most people at the table ordered the coconut curry soup, which seemed to be enjoyable. I had the spinach and quinoa salad, which was very yummy. The restaurant was also able to accommodate our request for a quiet table, and for a share plate (appetizers are not listed on the menu). Very good experience overall. read more

Small portions of you are gluten free. They really push the booze. Went home and had to eat dinner.

This place is the bomb. Called the place wanting to make a dinner reservation for two for 7pm Saturday and was prompted by a voice mail. No biggie, I had call them during off hours and they promptly called me back to confirm the reservation. The place itself is easy to find and they have their own parking lot. Service was impeccable. Our waiter, Jeremiah, was prompt courteous and was a super host. We start off with baby kale salad which was great and fresh. My GF had the duck entree and I had the risotto. Complimentary bread and hummus was delivered shortly. The risotto was the best I had in a while. The duck was succulent and presentation was great. The food service was a bit slow but that was because there was a large dinner party of 15 people sitting next to us so that was expected. We ended our evening 2 hours later with deserts: afagota (??) and creme brule. A wonderful end to and magical culinary adventure. My GF raved about the duck the day after, made me jealous! We will be back! read more

My husband took me to this Restaurant, on Weds, August 13th. It was my birthday. I had been reading reviews and wanting to try their "farm to table" menu on this special occasion and we were both really excited. I can't tell you enough how disappointed we were, right from the get go, things went wrong. When my husband called to reserve a table for 6pm, informing them it was my Birthday, we were told they were "fully booked", so we opted for 5:00pm instead. The restaurant was empty when we got there but for one person. Our first server, behind the bar poured me a glass of Prosecco from a previously opened bottle, I watched him take the stopper out, no pop, no fizzing action and when I tasted it, no fizz, so it was sent back and I had a glass of beer instead. We ordered the Appetizer Sample Platter for 2 ($20). REALLY... 3 prawns for 2 people? 3 Crostini (if you can call them that) for 2 people? This doesn't make any sense at all and is insulting when a person is paying premium! You'd think that a restaurant of this supposed caliber would cater for two people and not leave them to figure out how to divide a prawn and a crostini for themselves. As if that wasn't disappointing enough, my prawns were not cleaned properly (big veins I pulled out) were rubbery (overcooked) and the 3 tiny, minuscule crostini, were practically no bread at all, just a crust with a hole in it, the entire middle was missing. So although the terrine was quite tasty, we had to eat it without bread. When the server came to collect our appetizer plate, I informed him of the unclean prawns. He just took our plates away without saying anything! We felt totally neglected. It was apparent to us at that point that staff (or lack thereof) were only focused on the "big booking", customers coming in to the banquet room there, about 10 perhaps. This is what constituted the "fully booked" comment? There was only ONE other table of 2 people in the whole restaurant besides us. OK, so for the main course, I ordered the "special", Elk. It was so TOUGH and difficult to chew, I may as well have taken my shoe off and had a go at that instead. The Rissotto that came with it, was like bland, gooey rice pudding,there was no seasoning, just chunks of apple in it. Inedible! My husband had the Beef Duo, which he said was good but he left all of his potato mash, stating that it was unseasoned and pretty nasty, also inedible. We spent over $120 in this restaurant and won't go again or recommend it to anyone. I guess we got the "stand-in chef" too, not the chef advertised, who everyone was raving about. We work really hard for our money and I am always in the kitchen, cooking for a large family, so this was going to be my special birthday treat. It was certainly memorable, I will remember never to go here again and when I see all these wonderful reviews, it makes me feel like I was conned and I'm mad as hell. Restaurant 62 may occasionally be great but they're obviously NOT consistent! They have also not even bothered to contact me via email, which I wrote down with a few choice comments on their own "Comment sheet" after this disastrous meal, nor have I heard anything since I wrote a review on their Facebook wall over 2 weeks ago... read more
