About

When people come together to share a drink and celebrate, they create an experience larger than themselves. Dominion Bar + Kitchen is designed to be that kind of gathering place — a place where individual moments converge. And each moment, and every one of us, is unique. We are the new social hub of Surrey City Centre. Have a look at the menu. What do you notice? Ideally, you see a mix of influences from many different cultures. We don’t say ‘fusion’, we don’t say ‘international’. We are a mash-up, we are a remix, we are something Surrey. Dominion is New Canadian.

I came here for a Christmas team lunch. The restaurant is inside the Civic hotel and very nice entrance and inside decor. I ordered the Black Chicken Truffle and it was great. The chicken was soft and juicy while the rest of the dish worked well together. I would definitely come back here as my co-workers who have been here before rave about the great atmosphere for hanging with family and friends.

We came here for lunch on a Sunday. It was quiet and fairly empty so we got seated promptly after being greeted. The server was nice and bright us water immediately. We looked at the menu online and knew what we wanted so we ordered right away as well. It was fairly quiet minus the family at the table next to us celebrating something with their kids and they were using the furniture as climbing elements. Not just on their tables, but the neighbour tables as well. I appreciate the staff telling the parents to keep their children in check. The food was delicious and made exactly how it was described and ordered. I have nothing to complain about here. Flavours were great and nothing was over or underdone. We did order a mock tail which was unfortunately forgotten about until we reminded them again. Not a big deal but I still have to deduct a point there for service since they forgot despite being so empty. Overall a good experience which we knew since we come here now and then.

Came here for work Christmas lunch. The restaurant is inside the Civic hotel and very nice entrance and inside decor. My work department was given a section of the restaurant that was semi-private which was nice. The only issue with large groups is that we can't all mingle with each other as we had to be in separate tables but it was ok I ordered the Brussel Sprouts appetizer and it was crispy and flavorful. It is a great share plate. For my entrée, I ordered the Short Rib Pappardelle (Slow-braised short ribs, roasted tomato + pepper ragout, confit garlic, tomatoes, basil, herb crunch, Grana Padano). The short rib was tender and juicy while the rest of the dish worked well together. I would definitely come back here as my co-workers who have been here before rave the great atmosphere for hanging with family and friends.

For a "hotel restaurant", this place is pretty amazing. Delicious food, coming out very fast off the kitchen, and very friendly staff. Had the Mac & Cheese with Crispy Chicken, and that was worth its price :)

We got the calamari and both myself and my friend loved it, I also got the crispy spicy chicken Mac and cheese this is one of the best Mac and cheese I have ever had it was nice and creamy and cheesy and the spice on the chicken was such a nice pair so that the cheese sauce was not over powering 9.5/10, my friend got the spicy crispy chicken burger said it was good not the best they’ve had 8/10 the brownie dessert was rich but the biscoff was a nice touch ask for two scoops of ice cream one is not enough. The rose sangria with Bellini was very good did not taste like alcohol. All of these items were on happy hour

Ordered Rossdown Chicken + Lemon Risotto for dinner. It was quite busy and the service is perfect. Food : Presentation is 100%. It was so delicious and fresh. Chicken is so tender. Mushrooms and chicken are perfectly seared and seasoned. Risotto is nice and perfectly cooked as well! Got the Gelato Trio as well. It’s so smooth and refreshing. Usually not a fan of Matcha, but I really like this matcha gelato.

Good vibes along with great service. Dominion is definitely for those casual eaters who don't mind spending a bit more money to impress or enjoy the warm atmosphere. The food itself was pretty decent, but considering the price with it, it's a bit steep for what you get. My dish was the chicken and waffles, the waffles tasted pretty standard, and the chicken was as good as any other chicken place. How they presented the food was very well done. They made my meal look fun, and the colors for the poke bowl were appetizing. Take note that most of the parking around Dominion is pay parking.

Great service from our server, good pricing food and drink alike. The ladies mac n cheese w/ pulled pork was super good, as well as I don t care where you have had a fried chicken sandwich before because the hot honey truffle chicken sandwich that dominion serves kicks a$$!!! Would eat one for breakfast lunch and dinner hands down best chicken sandwich I have ever had!! 10/10 from me

Popped in for a drink with coworkers. The service was a bit slow as the server tried to figure out which beers were in stock and which werent. She came back to our table a couple of times to clarify what they had. My coworker ordered some calamari which he said was a bit flavorless. The atmosphere was fine. It was a nice enough looking dining area.

I stayed in the Civic Hotel 2 nights and had the absolute pleasure of dining at Dominion both nights! I also had the pleasure of being served by the wonderful server Valerie both nights. She was cheerful, gracious, understanding, and had great knowledge of the menu and great drink and food recommendations! I felt cared for my entire meal both times i was served by her. On my second night i came in around 11:15pm, noticed that closing time was just 45 minutes away, resolved myself to just ordering to go and eating in my room, i was fortunate enough to be greeted by the Hostess Jenny! Jenny encouraged me to sit in the restaurant and enjoy my meal! i felt so welcomed by her kindness and customer service! On the way to the table, she engaged in polite conversation and was genuinely interested in what i had to say and was very pleasant! The food was delicious, yes. But the service provided by these 2 wonderful ladies is why i will be returning on my next trip to BC.

I worked closely with Sharlainna Torrebadell over several weeks to organize my husband s 80th Surprise Birthday Party on October 19th. We utilized the private room in the restaurant for our 19 guests. Sharlainna was a joy to work with from start to finish and I was able to choose a menu and wines for the evening. We can t is not part of Sharlainna s vocabulary. She is 100% responsive, proactive, helpful and professional and a credit to the restaurant. Every other staff member I dealt with before and during the party were also very helpful and upbeat. Kudos to Dominion Bar + Kitchen. I highly recommend them for any celebration or gathering.

I ordered through Uber today ,I got the food there is hardly any salad the quantity is so less ,no cutlery being provided .Dissapointed to see such a small portion for almost $30

September 23, 2024

In the morning the service is awful. 10-15 for somebody to bring the menus. 30 mins at least to get scrambled eggs. I don t think they understand that people have other things to do during the day. Also expensive.

On a recent three day visit to Surrey, BC, I had the pleasure of once again staying at the Civic Hotel and it was a great experience. The hotel is perfectly located, the beds comfortable, the staff friendly, but the best part of my stay was the great restaurant the Dominion. I ended up eating most of my meals there and enjoyed all of them. A few of the dishes I had that stood out to me were: Poutine, made with their incredible chunky fries, topped with gravy and cheese curds and I added grilled chicken on top. The fries are great, the gravy rich and flavorful and the chicken added the bit grilled protein I needed. Rossdown chicken wings salt/pepper version. The wings were perfectly cooked and seasoned, then I paired it with a side of steamed rice with just a touch of their Calabrian chili sauce. Cavatappi Mac & Cheese, again with grilled chicken. This is made with a jalapeno mornay sauce so it is a bit spicy, but I grew up in Texas so it hit the spot for me. Black Forest Ham eggs benedict was a surprise as it was served on buttermilk crumpets which were incredible. The eggs were perfectly prepared, the hollandaise rich and creamy but served atop the crumpets really elevated this dish. I left wanting more. Rossdown chicken & Lemon Risotto was one of the best dishes Ive ever eaten and a great surprise. I expected a simple dish based on the description, but it was quite complex. The dish was plated beautifully, a real work of art, but the flavors came together to make it a very special dish for me. I will definitely order this one again. On my last morning there on Sunday, I decided I was in the mood for a real breakfast so I enjoyed one last meal before I checked out. Though they offer an incredible looking buffet, I really wanted a made to order breakfast. I ordered a ham and cheese omelet and I asked if I could order a side of their great crumpets instead of toast or English muffin and they happily did so. Such a perfect last meal there. As I was enjoying my breakfast I noticed a chef checking on the items in the buffet and I waived him over to share with him how much I had enjoyed all my meals on my trip. I recapped my favorites and thanked him and his crew for doing such a great job. Thank you Chef Manny for taking the time to speak with me about your dishes, asking me questions about my experience and for being so warm and friendly. The Civic Hotel will be my go to when visit the area, thanks to the Dominions quality of food and service and great staff.

Had a dinner for 10. We ordered about 8 appetizers, they were delicious and well prepared. Everyone enjoyed their drinks. I would recommend this location for drinks and appys. For dinner, 4 out of the 10 of us didnt quite enjoy our chosen dinner entrees. The other half had no complaints about their entrees.

Celiac friendly, lots of gluten free stuff on the menu. Somewhat weird choices though, like mortadella pizza with pistachios and fig glaze. Not bad per se, just not traditional. Drinks are fantastic and very creative, I didnt know what to pick there were so many interesting things! Service was friendly and fast. Its the nicest place around the area for sure. I would absolutely go back! Dietary restrictions: celiac, gluten free

Ive have been here 4 times in the last year. On my last visit was near closing 1030 pm. The $25 burger was only kind of worth it when ordered at 700 pm on my previous visit. A big drop down at 1030pm , the burger was way way worse. I suggested to the bartender that the burger was way better last time and I got the response was very aggressive. Do you want to send it back then?!?! I was put off and emailed the manager and had no response. I live at the same address (theres a residential tower in the sane building)

It is a bit overpriced for a burger or what I would call bar food, but a great price value for the more sophisticated dishes. I stayed at the hotel for a week and have to say every meal was flavorful and cooked to perfection. If anyone around me even hinted, they were not expecting the dish they ordered to be different... the staff were asking if there was something they could do. (Almost always people wanted to keep the dish.) They go above and beyond in all capacities. A big Thank you to Ekash for keeping entertained with conversation and great service.

Ordered take out at the hotel, the massive cookie dessert was tasty. The pizza on the other hand was complete and utter garbage, especially at the 26 dollar price point. The pizza here reminded me of a pie served up at an all inclusive resort. The dough was not browned on the underside but still cooked . It was very easy to tell that it is not made in house, both based on the flavour and texture. It seems they aren t using an oven that is hot enough to cook the pizza quickly and at an even temp. The toppings seemed to be of good quality. I ve had better pizza from a fast food place such as Famoso. My suggestions would be to make dough in house, find a better supplier for dough, throw the pizza on the kids menu or just stop making pizza all together.

Great food and atmosphere considerations to location behind very huge buildings. Service was slow. Restaurant couldnt keep up with small crowd. We let server know we are in a timely crunch because of city hall employee was in attendance. Despite that..water wasnt cold at first and new one better. Waited for bill but was not given birthday desert. My friend couldnt wait any longer for it and so we were unable to share. I Waited I Another 7 minutes for it to go. Upside, it was absolutely scrumptious. Id come back for food and make sure we were not in a rush. Parking: Would like to know if free parking is available

Sad to see the staff at this establishment change up so many times, but I guess thats the service industry for you! This venue had such great potential when first opening, and now its morphed into just another boring restaurant with TERRIBLE music and they NEVER DUST THEIR LIGHT FIXTURES. DEVILS IN THE DETAILS! Stop letting middle aged yt men select the playlists for the love of god and dust your damn light fixtures which are a focal point of the design. Food is whatever.

10/10 eggs Benny here - the hollandaise sauce is divine. I got the BBQ Gochujang Pulled Pork Benny and honestly it beats out any other Bennys Ive had. A small suggestion would be to pair it with half a salad instead of the full plate of potatoes, to help balance out the heaviness of the meat. The Breakfast for King George was lovely too. Eggs were done really nicely, and the mushrooms really added a great flavour to the plate. This is my #1 go to place for brunch in Surrey! Well done!

Came here for the first time and had their brunch menu. I had a few friends that have mixed to positive reviews of their experiences and I can definitely understand why. I had the chicken and waffles, which were good! Ive had this a few times as it was a pretty easy to find menu item in California, so I was thrilled to have a crispy waffle and crispy, boneless chicken. I tried some of my friends bowl (BBQ pulled pork gochujang) and while it was good, I didnt find that the gochujang flavour came through as well as it could have. The drinks were also delicious and I didnt expect them to be as strong as they were, but thats not a complaint! For brunch, I highly recommend trying the different mimosas as you might find the pitcher is worth it. There arent too many brunch places in the area and combined with the accessibility to SkyTrain, this is a no brainer! Food: 4/5 Staff: 5/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 Value: 4/5 Overall: 4.5/5

Do not go to this place. I had one corona beer 330ml and 2 shots of jack daniels came to $33 dollars and something and I tipped on top. The shots were so small maybe 15-20ml. Biggest rip off scam. rude staff

Came here on a Monday night for happy hour and place was packed. Great atmosphere, good menu and food was decent. Just for myself a small complaint about the tartar sauce with the fish, it tasted like mayo. Told the server but she wasnt that interested. Used the ketchup instead.

Food was good. The waffles were very good and the mimosa flights were also very good. The bowls are also large, filling, and good. It is located at the base of the Civic Hotel and is usually pretty busy unless you go early in the day, so reservations are probably recommended if you have a larger group.

Average taste for food and overpriced drinks. The service was nice and we enjoyed our server, she did a great job. It id a decent modern space but where they don t stand out is the food. It is not bad but it s nothing outstanding or memorable. My poke bowl was middling, the salmon burger was good but more burger than bun. The poutine was good! It is fine if you are in the area and hungry but I would just do cactus.

The Service was expedient friendly and welcoming. Everyone was accommodating and friendly. The atmosphere was nice and warm, with good tunes playing in the background. It felt very easy to casually sit back and enjoy my meal and drink. The breakfast in the morning was definitely delicious but the burger for dinner was awesome with the four winds IPA. Overall, I would highly recommend you try it at least once.

We went to Dominion Bar+Kitchen to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The atmosphere was very nice with not so loud music and some warm lights around. The drinks and the food were great. We had a three course meal and ordered fettuccine pasta and steak for mains, both tasted amazing. Head over to Dominion for a date night.I have also heard from my friends that their brunch is also nice :)

I would eat there again, maybe try their brunch next time as we had my birthday dinner there this time. All of us enjoyed our dish. Lovely presentation on the plate and delicious. Hubby loved crispy chicken burger with bacon. I had the thia curry, yummy! Very impressed overall, everyone in our group enjoyed their food, ambience and special kudos to the attentive hostess and serving staff!! Parking: Found parking on the Main Street Kid-friendliness: Our daughter is autistic. Hostess ensured our daughter was comfortable and was accommodating in finding perfect seating to help ease my daughters sensory intake.

We love it here! The menu has a strong mix of original items and reliable classic comfort favourites. The servers are friendly and don t seem to rush their customers. There is a kids menu which is nice and plenty of TVs and popular music. Dominion is well established since opening 5+ years ago and we are happy to see them constantly evolving and trying new things to best serve the area (addition of brunch, kids menu, seasonal menu items, etc)

Managers please train ur staff to engage with customers and provide service they require!! Buffet also had indian chai!! Amazing! We also ordered in room dining as we stayed at the civic hotel and their food thai curry, pasta, and soup were all amazing!! We ordered multiple times during the course of 5 nights we stayed there!

Went here for brunch and had a terrific time. The menu has quite a bit of options as well as drinks. The Caesars here are very good and reasonably priced. Cannot say the same for the other drinks/cocktails but food was delicious and well worth it. I would say this is a very good brunch option in the area and is firmly above the staples of IHOP / de-dutch for around the same price.

This is the restaurant inside the Civic Hotel in Surrey. Stopped by here with friends for drinks and appetizers. Ordered Truffle Fries, Calamari and Mandu (Korean Dumplings). The Mandu was decent and so was the Calamari. The fries weren t as crispy or crunchy as would have liked. The Sangria was one of the tastiest one have ever had in this part of the world. Ambience was good and comfortable and a great setting to chat and enjoy some food. Service was decent and overall a pleasant experience. They do have a lot more items on the menu which will definitely try whenever am back .

Found this to be a pretty average place to be honest. Definitely found it to be hyped for no reason. Probably because there aren t many good ones in the area. The food was good but nothing great. I enjoyed the Sangria though. Staff made a mistake with one of the dishes but nonetheless was very professional.

What was once great and fallen. While the management and select staff are great, the quality of food and menu have fallen dramatically. Atmosphere is a hit or miss most nights. This place was great and has a lot of potential, but just seems like theyve cut too many corners as far as quality goes. Parking: Underground

The transportation is convenient. The entrance is through the hotel entrance. It happened to be happy hour, so I chose fried dumplings and the fried cauliflower recommended by others. If you eat too much of this cauliflower, you will get tired of it. The seasoning of fried cauliflower is the same as that of fried dumplings. The Mac & cheese is just like that. It also has a bit of pork belly, but the service I forgot to place an order for us. The price is not expensive, the cocktails are good, and the waiters are very enthusiastic.

Had a good experience at Dominion after hearing of it from many sources. The atmosphere was terrific and modern given that it is part of the civic hotel. The food was plated beautifully and was served quick considering it was during peak lunch. The menu was a little lacking and quite similar to a higher end pub but the food was quite good.

I wanted to love the food here but I just did not find that the price of the food matched the quality. The experience was not a bad one at all and loved the friendly and fun service given to us by our waitress but the food was incredibly over priced and the portions small. They put in a lot of effort to work with my moms dietary restrictions and I really appreciated that. Overall I dont think Id visit again just because the food was not worth the cost. Dietary restrictions: They do a good job at working with dietary concerns. However if you are a gluten free vegan, you will be limited in what you can eat here.

So we have used this spot a few times for a large group. They accommodate us in the side room which is great for 18-20. Last night we booked again to celebrate a retirement dinner and we understood we would have the 5 tables for the 18 of us. Nope they gave us 4 and had allowed a couple to reserve the 1 other table and squished 2 people on the ends not allowing a lot of room for food on those 2 tables. There were plenty of other tables available in the rest of the restaurant that they could of been seated at. During the speeches for the retirement the couple were so loud many of us could not hear what was being said. I will not book this venue again for a get together or even go to the establishment for any reason. For a big party and celebration this was completely unacceptable. The food was good and our service was just ok, server walked away mid drink order. There are just so many other restaurants to choose from in the area for an event I will take my business elsewhere to somewhere that values the celebration and business.

I was there with my friend who is an asian lesbian in her mid-late twenties about two months ago and we had a HORRIFIC discrimination experience there! DO NOT GO HERE! She was sitting facing the bar and me with my back to the bar. During our meal, she noticed that the table between hers and the bar, called the male bartender/server over to tell him something which she didnt think anything of at first. After the server/bartender got spoken to, it was clear that that table had complained about something pertaining to my friend. Before she could even put her fork back down on the plate after taking her last bite, the server was already at our table and took her plate away and asked if he could bring us the check. She said no and asked if we could have some more water please and he filled her water glass up only half way. She has been going through some health issues and sometimes gets a subtle tick with her head that causes her head to quickly move to the side. This goes away sometimes after seconds and sometimes it takes a couple of minutes, but nothing long lasting in any way. The only other thing that we can think of is that she was wearing a shirt with a rainbow neck lining ... so either they complained about her being a lesbian or about her handicap of a quick tick. My friend is a huge foodie and she eats out more than anyone I know. I have been with her to many restaurants and we have never encountered anything like this. It was clear as day that the server wanted us out ASAP and we were NOT welcome there! We clearly felt extremely uncomfortable, didnt bother to order desert and left after finishing our sip of water. My friend did NOT want to complain or make a big deal out of this as she was mortified, but I think people need to know, especially after calling the restaurant Manager who never took any responsibility for any of this. After we called her back again, she said she talked to the server and he doesnt remember anything like that. ... Absolutely HORRIBLE customer service in every way!!! We have never been treated nor discriminated like this anywhere in our entire life! DO NOT GO HERE!!!!

Staying at the hotel I stopped in for a solo meal. Prices are good, decor and design is great for groups and it s in a boutique hotel so very good for business meetings. Tuna tartare was different take, delicious but it was the Thai mussels that really stood out. Solid portion, fresh and big mussels. Service was fast and efficient. Going to recommend to business peers as a good spot since hotel has parking too.

Im only giving 2 stars due to the food being good. Ive come here multiple times but this time was the absolute worst. I went with my boyfriend for dinner and our server didnt remember sangria flights, but thought I said mimosa.. two very different things. My knife had a finger print on it before I even touched it.. gross. To top it off, server wasnt attentive nor was she confident with what was on the menu. Im 100% sure you can get a side of gravy if you have poutine on the menu... Guess next time, Ill go somewhere else. OH I ALMOST FORGOT they had the AC turn on, and the server had an excuse for why. Its a week till Christmas and snowing, no need for AC
