Dropped by here for lunch at the recommendation of a friend. The restaurant is somewhat non-descript and certainly not upscale as advertised and It was almost deserted throughout lunch. The menu was simple and straightforward and I opted for the chicken club sandwich. My friend had a salmon burger. My sandwich was good although at $15 it was overpriced. The fries were a limp and somewhat greasy. I would have expected to pay around 8 to 10 dollars for a similar meal, so I thought it was overpriced. read more

Conveniently located right near Crescent Beach. The setting of this restaurant was unique. It definitely had some major camping related aspects to it, and was fun to observe and notice right away. Absolutely loved the waitress! She was very friendly and quick to serve us. I noticed that she always kept a big smile on her face with everyone she spoke to. It's not super often that you see someone like this. The food was great- we had both ordered 2 different burgers with fries. The first thing I immediately noticed was the size proportions. The burger was large, and we were both given a very decent amount of fries. Left us both feeling happy and satisifed. We had even decided to order something off the dessert menu, the crème brûlée :) and was once again, satisfied. Would totally recommend. read more

I love this place. My husband and I recently moved to the area and it's one of our favorite restaurants by far. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, they remember us and what we like, and the food is amazing. Very fresh and delicious. They have great specials too and the appy hour is great (between 3-5) especially after a walk around Blackie Spit park read more

I was at the cabin on Monday October 7, 2019. I was with two friend for lunch, I paid for the lunch with some cash and the rest of the bill on my debit card. I was distracted and only tipped on the leftover amount from the bill on the debit card. The waitress called me out on this and let me know that I only tipped on the debit card amount and not the entire bill. Needless to say I was embarrassed and blindsided by this. I am a regular customer and this waitress (possibly manager) knows me well . I have introduced many people to this restaurant as well my husband and I go there on a regular basis. I AM A VERY GOOD TIPPER. I think what the server did was uncalled for. It was an oversight on my part. Plus a server should never just expect a tip. I will not go back to this restaurant again.. There are too many other restaurants to choose from. read more

Went to Cabin for dinner last night with a group of friends. The atmosphere is nice inside and the staff seemed friendly. Our table was by the window, the chair I sat in felt a little like an old wooden school chair. The cocktails were awesome, the food was nice too yet my mashed potatoes were luke warm beside the delicious stuffed chicken breast. We also had the calamari which had the texture of being frozen before. My girl friends pasta was awesome too. All in all, I'd go back again. A cool little spot in Cresent Beach. read more

I'll go again and again after eating here for the first time. Why? Because the menu is not your standard fare. Sure there's some expected things to find on the menu, flatbreads, calamari, etc. but there's more than a few choices that seem distinctive for this restaurant alone. DH had the crab cakes. To be honest, we've had better. Crab cakes can be finicky to make, and we've found it's all over the map how they are presented. These might or might not have had fresh crab. If they did have fresh crab, it was pummelled enough that it was unrecognizable. But don't take this as a complete put down. Everything else we had was very good. The Ahi was a generous portion and delicious, and my seafood trio was perfectly done. While we were there, we saw someone receive the lobster ravioli, and it's been in the back of my brain forever. My god that looked good! In fact, we were sneaking looks at all the plates going by. I'm coming back to try at least half of them for sure! read more

We made the trek from Vancouver to Crescent Beach to join friends for dinner at the Cabin. When we used to live in Surrey, we dined at the WAG and the Vault; the food at the Cabin is very similar. We started with the clam chowder, ahi poke and the garlic and goat cheese flatbread. The clam chowder was very good, as well as the flatbread. The poke was good, but a little bland and the wonton chips were greasy. I would likely not order poke again, but the soup and flatbread are a definite 'yes'. For the entree, we went with the halibut, a healthy portion, which was fresh and cooked just right. It was served with very flavourful rice and the veggies (zucchini, carrot and red peppers) were okay; I found them a little greasy. I give the peanut butter pie a 5/5; it's probably one of the best dessert treats ever! The service was attentive and friendly. Overall, seems like a solid dining choice for people living in the Crescent Beach / South Surrey area. read more

See all

I went on Yelp last Tuesday and typed in Seafood restaurants and one of the choices was the Cabin. I thought I would try it out and boy was I glad I did. I started with the Clam Chowder soup which was really favorable, Then I had the Seafood Hot Pot which was incredible, lots of seafood, great flavor and great portions, The waitress were friendly, helpful and the atmosphere was nice and they don't rush you at all. I liked the restaurant so much that I went back two days later and had the exact supper as the first time I was there. The waitress were different this time but again they were very friendly and helpful. The next time I'm in the area I will defiantly be stopping by for another great meal. read more

Fabulous decor, both of us ordered non-seafood dishes and they were fantastic! I would go back for sure

We used to come here all the time when it was the Beecher Street Cafe and was disappointed when it closed. We came here last week to celebrate a birthday and had a very nice evening. There was something for everyone. The server was friendly and the food everyone ordered was flavourful. This restaurant is owned by the same people that run the Washington Grill and Vault which we go to regularly also. Will definitely come back again. read more

Impromptu dinner to The Cabin. The staff was super friendly and accomodating, really the best service I've had in ages. Great menu & drink selections. Our food came quickly, they were large portions and it was as delicious as I could've hoped for. On our table was Ahi Poke, Sweet 'N Spicy Chicken Bites, Ahi Tuna, Ale Braised Beef Short Ribs, "AAA" Striploin Steak & Seafood Ciopppiono Hotpot. The deserts definitely did not disappoint, too! We ordered Warmed Brownie with Ice cream, Tiramisu, and Peanut Butter Pie. Can't wait to go back and try some of the other drinks and dishes. Thanks for a great double-date night, Cabin! read more

Disappointing - service was good ordered the mussels and they were awful and ended up on our bill. We live local and have seen the quality go down. Won't be there again and too bad nice spot read more

Love the Cabin! Great food, atmosphere, pleasant staff. The seafood pot is delicious and severed with local Artisan Bakery bread. We have been there a couple of times and not been disappointed read more

We were attended to by the awesome staff at The Cabin last night while visiting with friends from the area. I had the Ciapocino ( I know I messed up the spelling) Seafood Hotpot. Oh. My. God. This was likely the best dish I have EVER eaten in a restaurant. The broth was perfectly seasoned with a blend of spices that perfectly matched the fresh mussels, clams, prawns and salmon. Everyone enjoyed their meals also. My wife commented that the sauce on her lobster ravioli could have been a little less sweet, but it was still good. The service was attentive but not hovering, an we never felt rushed, even as we were one of the last parties to leave before closing. The Cabin is a treasure. I hope to return there soon! read more

We booked a reservation for 530 pm on a Sunday evening. When we arrived there were only two customers in the restaurant. They then took us to a table directly beside the two other customers. We then requested another table near or at the windows. After quite a lengthy consultation between three waiters, it was decided that we could sit near the window. I asked why we couldn't have one of the two open tables (which are tables for 2) at the window and were informed they were reserved. Fair enough, we said. We then had to wait for 10 minutes for our drink order to be taken. At 600 pm a young couple came in, they requested a table and had no reservation and were taken directly to the table we had requested. At 615 another young couple came in and they had a reservation and were given the other table at the window. When we were paying, I asked our waiter why they had not given us what we had requested and he stated "oh, they made a reservation two weeks ago". I said so if I make a reservation and state I wish those seats, I can have them saved. He said "no, only if available". We never were asked if we would like another beverage and only now having read the other reviews realized they had a desert menu. The food I would go back for........the service was unacceptable. It was a disappointing way to spend an anniversary dinner. read more

My partner and I ended up in Crescent Beach later in the evening, and the Cabin was one of the few restaurants in the area still open, so we thought we'd give it a try. The decor is really great. Lots of classic kitschy stuff without being overwhelming, and I gave serious thought to stealing their ceiling fan, because it's brilliant. Unfortunately, the food wasn't quite as great as the environment. We shared two appetizers to start, the garlic prawns and the ahi poke. The garlic prawns were ok, but small to average-sized, and served on a bed of mostly flavourless noodles (akin to sidekicks or something similar.) the ahi poke is 3 servings of poke on some wonton crisps, and sadly the crisps tasted a bit stale. The fish was ok but there wasn't a lot of flavour going on and it just felt a bit boring. Mains were a seared piece of tuna with a peppercorn mushroom sauce and garlic mashed potatoes for her, and seafood cioppino for me. The tuna was heavily crusted with peppercorns but not a bad piece of fish. The sauce is a very earthy mushroom base and is decently tasty if you like mushrooms, but could definitely be overpowering if they aren't your thing. Unfortunately, the garlic mashed potatoes seemed to be peppercorn mashed potatoes as well, because the only thing you could taste when taking a bite of them was pepper, which sort of took a lot away from the whole dish. The cioppino was quite flavourful, though, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Plenty of mussels, prawns and whitefish throughout, and a great flavour. It's served with some fantastic bread, and I highly recommend you get an extra side order, because it is just delightful when dipped in the cioppino. We weren't sure about ordering dessert, but we ended up getting a share platter that had a chocolate brownie and an in-house made peanut butter and chocolate pie. The brownie was pretty good but nothing exceptional, and the pb pie is excellent, and definitely tastes homemade and not mass produced. All in all, it wasn't a terrible dining experience, but for what the cost ended up being ($120 after tip, with no drinks), in my opinion, there's definitely better options for your dining dollar out there. The lack of value is what pushes this from a 3 to a 2 for me. read more

We were there for my birthday dinner last night. I had the Halibut special with prawns and ordered garlic mashed potato instead of rice. Halibut was perfectly done,great sauce,veggies crunchy and awesome gmp. We also ordered the chicken dish which was a large portion of very tender chicken breast pieces, an order of an appy Tandoori chicken with a great sauce was enjoyed. For dessert, 1 peanut butter pie was ordered to share among the 3 of us , however it was so good it lasted about 2 seconds..so smooth and delicious, so we ordered the banana roll with ice cream. Served hot it was crispy shell and soft warm banana and mango inside. We rolled out of The Cabin very content and so happy that there is now a restaurant of this quality down at Crescent Beach. Service was also very attentive and pleasant. read more

We were so excited to have lunch at the Cabin after hearing amazing reviews, however what we experienced was bland food, slow service and leaving still hungry. The dry ribs were WAY to salty and our fries were burnt. Sadly disappointed. read more

Great little place! Food, service & decor definitely make the experience. Would recommend, especially the short ribs, crab cakes, clam chowder. I'm pretty fussy but will be going back. read more

For the price the food was very mediocre. Won't be back. The lobster ravioli had too much sauce. The table was very sticky. Service was good. read more

Making the choice between White Rock and crescent was always hard until I found this place. I highly recommend it. The service is always excellent. I have tried many things on there menu but really recommend the chicken tacos! The mango salsa is to die for! I recently brought my boyfriend here to try it, he had the halibut burger which he says was 8/10! Next time your in the area make sure you come into the cabin! They also have a great drink selection! read more

We have gone here several times. We made a reservation for four people last night at 6:00. We had a great time and pretty good food. The waitress brought the dessert menu and also the hostess/manager. She informed us that we could go to the bar and have a free drink. We inquired as to what she was asking. Basically she said we had stayed two hours and their are others that needed our table. All of us were speechless and have never been asked to leave. How unprofessional!!! None of us will be going back and will share our experiences with others. read more

When you walk through the door I thought, Reno! The owners ripped up the dirty unfinished and nailed them to the wall, leaving half painted unfinished cold concrete floors. Wait till winter comes! The over staff establishment gave us good service. Our meals tasted okay but nothing to rave about. Bring a credit card cause its going to cost you. read more

my wife an i had a fantastic time. it's loud in there i'll admit, but adds to the charm. Food was perfect.

Food was excellent. I had the halibut and bf had the steak. Both were perfectly done. Service was also excellent. Pleasant atmosphere. We'll definitely be back. I knocked one star off for my rickety, wobbly chair. Seems all the chairs could use an upgrade in seat padding as well. read more

Great meals and presentation. We were a group of 8 and everyone were very please. Good portions as we'll. We will return.

We've been here several times, it's okay food and atmosphere. Easy walking distance to the Crescent beach!

A total disappointment. Party of 8 and 6 of us were not satisfied with the appies and/or entrees . At least 4 found the entrees to be heavy on the salt. My seafood trio was nearly all overcooked one piece was dry and the prawns rubbery. The crab cakes remoulade sauce had an off taste (heavy on the pickle juice or just off??) Service was average at best. We were all so unsatisfied that we chose not to try desserts - a first for this group of frequent diners. We did not complain because when 6 of 8 are unhappy we didn't even think for a minute the kitchen could overcome the challenge(s). So unhappy that It's the first time in years that I tipped less than 15%. I had not been there in a year (used to go more often years ago when it was Beecher Street) and don't expect we would return - sorry but this is a competitive market with lots of great choices of independent non chain restaurants (but many good chains as well). read more

This is my third visit to The Cabin. Service was always good! We went for a family birthday! Food was good. Service was poor. They could see we had a child and never offered a booster seat, although high chair would have been better (which they did not have). Never offered a child menu- I had to ask the options. Our drinks were never refilled unless I asked. We also brought a cake and gave it to someone when we first came in. Only when we asked for plates that we were told about a $2 "fork fee"...this is something that should have been mentioned when we first arrived. There is a lack of experience with basic food/customer service...something that is very simple. read more

We have looked at their menu many times but never ate there till today .Had their 2 piece fish and chips and added an extra piece. It was very good. The fish was fresh and the batter was just right. We got seated and ordered around 2.45 pm. Our waitress never did tell us about their happy hour special which starts at 3 pm. We had to ask after we place our order. As a courtesy, we felt they should have told us that in case we wished to order more food. Overall, service was ok as our waitress did check on us a few times and did refill our water. I opted to pay using a visa credit card I have not used in months. Find it interesting, there were several food related unauthorized charges all over the Lower Mainland including out of province right after we charged our meal on this visa credit card. Am very impressed and thankful our Visa card provider caught on this quickly, declined the questionable food charges and called as .. Coincidental? I don't think so. So we placed a call and asked to speak to a Manager on site for the day to let her know what happened. We are now waiting to hear back from the owners as this incident has left a distaste and not sure if we feel comfortable ever visiting again or to use our visa or debit card at this restaurant.. It is a pity as we were planning to visit again .. read more

Great restaurant tucked away in Crescent Beach. Not fancy decor --it really is like a cabin but I have been there a few times and the food is always good...in fact, delicious! It can get very busy even week days so best to make a reservation during peak hours. read more

Checked out the Cabin for dinner last night with another couple. Service was wonderful, food was excellent. The lobster ravioli was amazing, the herb crusted halibut was perfection, and the nightly special (steak and lobster) was delicious! Tables are a little close together, but not bad. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone wanting a nice night out. read more

Fabulous service, yummy food and an amazing atmosphere in the Village of Crescent Beach

The calamari was incredibly salty. The lobster ravioli sauce seemed curdled and was very sugary?? Had been here before and thought it was good enough for a return visit but won't bother again read more

Very pricey for not great food. The cutlery is the cheapest they could find. My fork was bent so they replaced it with another bent one. I won't be back. read more

Good food, okay service, but so cold inside. They have a real problem getting the place warm. We had to don extra coats inside today and it's not even that cold out. Very drafty and unpleasant experience. We talked to the owner but she said that they had no plans to do anything about it. We may try again when the weather warms up a bit. read more

This place is AMAZING. So homey, and has the perfect west coast vibe. Even more perfect that it's right by the water in Crescent Beach. Awesome service, with recipes that are unique and delicious. Get the yam fry thai chicken poutine! *drool* read more
