Reviews for Mr A's Patio Restaurant in Langley, BC
Continental buffet: Decent selection of salads and a fresh fruit salad which was good. One soup option. 4 meat options, rice,... potatoes, green beans, one pasta dish, one carving station. Small table of dessert squares. Really not much of a buffet. Iwalked in and said what..this can't be it, but to my disappointment, it was. Food was average. Nothing more, nothing less. Pop,tea or coffee should be included in the cost. I don't enjoy going to a buffet and paying $4 for a glass of iced tea. Theirpricing is too high for what you get. They have two pricing groups. Under 9 and Adult (10+) Many other places offer 3 and underfree, or a very low cost for smaller children. My 4 year old had one scoop of pasta, one desert square and a ice tea. $20? Comeon. Usually kids are 12 and under, not 9 and under, with smaller kids paying much less. Not here. They gouge. Everything aboutthis place just puts you off. Atmosphere was not the best either. Maybe the other buffets are better, but for the cost, I'm notgoing to bother. I came here years ago and it was fantastic, but Mr A is now Mr C- Read more
Loved the Sunday Brunch buffet. So many options and they kept the food coming. Would like to try their other options for good... measure. But a great first Read more
The group we came with was first class. The reception we got upon entering was first class. The server for our table was first... class. The atmosphere right on the glass of the golf course is first class. There could have been many more serviettes on thetable as there were sticky finger food in the buffet. The food was mediocre aside from the salmon. The mussels were mostlyempty, and the shrimp were rather overcooked and chewy. The English muffin part of the eggs benedict were too hard to cut orbite so they were very messy (that's where the serviettes would have come in handy). I would have loved to see the desserts thatare shown in pictures of past diners, but there was nothing outstanding. The price is fair, and I'll go back for the atmosphere,and the service. However, the food could be better. Read more
***this is a long review*** We were excited to finally try Mr. A's Patio prime rib dinner buffet after having watched a YouTube... review on it. First impression walking in was ok. Relaxing atmosphere, I especially liked the sunroom area. Food selection wasjust ok. I've been to less expensive buffets that had good food to compliment the theme of their buffet. The prime rib was notwhat I was expecting, the meat was tough and soggy at the same time. The ribs were also tough and requires a better knife tocut. They could both use a lot more seasoning (salt and pepper) and more color on them, they were quite pale. The side disheswere ok, the pasta and the salmon were the only ones I enjoyed eating. The salad selection is your basic Caesar salad and amixed greens along with some other cold salads. The cheese plate consisted of white and yellow cheddar, some fruits and coldnoodles on the side. The dessert area consisted of your basic square cakes, the only one that I thought was ok was the cheesecake, the rest were mousses that were starting to deflate. I noticed that in both the salad/cheese area and the dessert hadfruit flies flying around them. To sum up my experience, I think I expected too much from a golf resort buffet. Read more
Upon arriving, I quickly noticed the hostess at the front, she was extremely short with people. One lady didn?t have a... reservation so she shooed her off to the side and just told her ?that?s a problem?. She then rudely asked if anyone did have areservation. Just had the attitude of someone who hated her job. After being seated, we noticed it wasn?t just her who hatedher life. Other servers as well. The waitress we had, we only saw when she gave us our first glass of water and coffee, afterthat we had to flag her down multiple times for coffee and more water. Just feel like it?s something that should be asked ifneeded not always having to wave her down. The food was mostly decent, though when we arrived a lot of the food trays wereempty, some were quickly replaced. After a bit of eating, we both started feeling kind of sick, no it wasn?t from eating toomuch, I wasn?t full and just couldn?t stomach the food anymore unfortunately. Eventually had to also ask for the bill and afterasking for it, never had the debit machine brought over to pay- probably would have had to wave her down for that too, ended upjust leaving cash. All in all, wasn?t the greatest experience and felt unwelcome. At the end we used the washrooms which lookedlike the needed some cleaning, also saw one of there water glasses in there on the floor sitting next to the toilet, howappetizing. There was however one young lady clearing tables, she seemed to be the nicest one there. Read more
Great food! Especially considering it?s a buffet. Great service. Except, the girl today working the front area of the... restaurant. The one wearing the green dress. She was rude to almost everyone I saw her speaking to while we waited. She wasshort with people. Condescending. If she doesn?t like the job, she should get one that she does. She made my wife u comfortable.She made the pregnant lady uncomfortable. The attitude is if you didn?t make a reservation then why are you even here and Iwouldn?t bother waiting for a table because it could be hours and only if a reservation doesn?t show up. Anyway. All other staffwere amazing. Decor. Atmosphere. Food. All amazing. Read more
Been here a couple times but never for brunch. The first thing I will say is service is top notch! Our seats were in the big... room, sorry not sure how else to describe it :P it was beautiful, with the massive windows. The hostess walked us all the way,that was very much appreciated. Our server was very attentive and friendly as well. Always checking up on our table and makingsure we had water and coffee refilled. The buffet, in current times. The food is served to you by a server. If you can imagine arectangle and all the food is on the edges with glass barriers surrounding. Each person receives their own server. They'll walkwith you throughout the buffet and fill up your plate. I had only gone down one side and my plate was full already. In thesecircumstances, it's easy to feel like the servers are secretly judging all the food on your plate. But I never got that vibe atall. They'll put more than enough food on your plate. Less or more which ever you want. I'm feeling this will be the newnorm. The food was great, my fave was the shrimp. They had a great selection of food. From lunch entrees, to breakfast, brunch,salad and desserts. The waffles were fantastic. If you love buffets, this is def the place to go. The right protocols are inplace. The staff is friendly and the food will fulfill any brunch craving you have. Read more
The staff are lovely (Sal and Katya especially!), but the live music was far too loud even at the far window. Speaking of... windows, we were right under one that was cracked and discolored in the atrium area, looks like it's needed repair for quitesome time. The food tasted fine, the prime rib was great, but the salad greens were swimming in about 2" of water at the bottomof the bowl - dressing can't stick to that! Overall it's great they're still doing good business, but the decor and menu coulduse a refresh/repairs, especially at $29.95/pp. Read more
