Annora - Langley

6 of us went for a birthday dinner and brought our own birthday cake. We all deliberately chose this restaurant as we like to support local businesses. Dinner was “OK” as my $40 beef meal with 2 pieces of asparagus and a piece of beet the size of a loonie barely covered the plate with the potatoes and meat. It was also only room temperature. Some meals were OK but mine was not the only cold or lukewarm meal. A bottle of wine for $45 and my $40 meal came to $110 for just me. Most also had appetizers. We were served our birthday cake and all alarmed to find all 6 of us had a $7 cake cutting charge for a total of $42 because we brought our own cake! When we asked the owner he was quite rude and said he told us (he did no such thing). We all appreciate the plates and serving took time but this was ridiculous. More ridiculous was this owners rude and arrogant attitude particularly since we never even complained about the food. We have all been to this restaurant more than once before but none of us will be back!! Contrast that to today at cactus club where our friend was asked if they’d like a birthday dessert….beware as this is not a 5 star restaurant.

I agree with the previous comment about the “not-so-nice smell”. That was our warning to turn around and not eat there. Seriously, the smell is so bad in there that I felt like throwing up. Even after sitting there for half an hour. I never got used to it. Seeing that this has been pointed out before, management should deal with this issue.The server/chef had a filthy black apron on with food bits all over it. That grossed me out as well, especially since it was at eye-level. He should wash it more often, or better yet buy white ones and wash them daily.The food wasn’t that good either. The flavours were unusual but not in a good way.I wouldn’t go back there at any price, and the price was a bit high.

1. First bread is hot and fresh, perfect.2. Second bread is cold and hard, bad.3. Appetizers are interesting and delicious.4. Short rib is mediocre, lack of wow flavour. WeSecond visit: they should really increase the prices. The quality of the food deserves a higher compensation. Also, its too hard to reserve a table. Very crowded every time.ordered medium well wagyu, but we got well done hard chewy pieces.5. Desserts are very good.We are happy to find this good restaurant in Langley, hope everything gets better in future. Maybe the first Michelin star restaurant outside of Vancouver.

A hidden gem! The food is absolutely incredible. The service is wonderful too. Highly recommend this restaurant! It is small so book reservations in advance. The food is so delicious and it is definitely a fine dining experience but fairly priced.

Our favourite restaurant in Langley. Special occasions or otherwise always top notch! Scallops are amazing. Can’t wait to return
