[6thGear.]

Boss took us to the S. Surrey Keg last year and they overcooked all of our steaks. Only one of us got a proper steak...the one who ordered well done. LOL. My twice baked potato was bland and cold. Apparently the owner there also owns the Ironwood location which is not a bad location but +1 for the Willingdon location. All this steak talk reminds me of my last restaurant....HYS!!!!

GF took me there last week for my bday. Appys was cheesy bread. Soft and melt in your mouth evenly spread cheese. 8/10 for what I remember as bigger portions. Next was the garlic butter escargot. Good sized snails but a lack of mushrooms (I feel it adds to the flavor) nothing special but still quite good 8/10. She ordered the tenderloin medallions. Good sized medallions proper char and seasoning. I only had a couple bites and the medium rare was to perfection. 9/10 (she said they could've put some more of the sauce they had on the plate) I got the beef wellington. Excellent. Blows Black and Blue out of the water as they couldn't do a medium rare cook for me. Puff pastry was flaky as fuck. Filet mignon medium rare was so damn melt in your mouth tender and paired so good with the Foi Gras. The middle looked rare (which isn't a problem to me regardless) but when I touched it the center was quite warm. 9/10 as the plating was pretty boring (its how I would've plated it at home lol) I felt there was tiny little things here and there that could've made every dish 10/10 but compared to any other proper steak restaurant in Vancouver it's IMO definitely the best around especially the cook on there meats. 8.5/10 I would always go back considering the last time I went to HYS was like 15 yrs ago and 15 yrs later it still met my expectations and I love the ambience there.
