The Other Place Kitchen - Clearbrook

Ordinary food, adequate service, pricy menu. Not likely to return. A shame as I was empathetic due to the thefts during construction. Oh well.

We were attending a wedding in Abbotsford and had an hour to spare between the ceremony and reception, so we thought we’d find a nice watering hole to pass about 45 minutes. When we arrived, the friendly server came to our table and took our drink orders. The pros: Friendly service, decently sized drinks for the price, comfortable seats and atmosphere. The cons: Super slow to get out orders. Our server was also the bartender. She had a coworker floating around, doing who knows what, but he was not helping her at all. Even though the place wasn’t all that busy (maybe 6 other patrons besides our group), we waited nearly 30 minutes for Bellinis and everyone’s drinks came at staggered times, so no one in our group was drinking together. We were almost late getting back to the reception. If you’ve got time to spare, it might be a decent place to go. Not sure about the food as we only had drinks, so just beware. If you’re in a rush to be somewhere, this is not the place for you.

First time here and it was an overall good lunch/brunch experience. The food was hot and the flavours were definitely there, the eggs Benny was delicious. The only downside was portion size compared to the price on some of the other dishes we had. Will be going back to try other menu items for sure!

We tried 4 different dishes: Sirloin Steak Sandwich, sweet and spicy lettuce wrap, thai curry noodle bowl, and 8oz beef sirloin. The chimichurri sauce from the sirloin steak sandwich complemented the sandwich; the steak was cooked the way I wanted. The spicy lettuce wrap and thai curry noodle bowl had a unique taste. The truffle fries appetizer tasted so good. The sause had a unique tangy taste.

Really enjoy the food and atmosphere. Service is always amazing and it’s never too busy or too loud. This is my go too lunch spot. All the food has been amazing, fresh, and delicious. Highly recommend the chicken fingers, linguine and Kobe meatballs, and all their salads are amazing! Prices are very comparable to other restaurants of this calibre. Service: Dine in
