Socrates Taverna - Maple Ridge, British Columbia

I have just ordered take out food on the way home and was impressed with the attentive on phone and in-person service. My family really enjoyed very delicious roast lamb and lamb souvlaki dishes. I have never been in the restaurant and happened to notice its nice layout when ... was picking up my order. Plan to come in for a special dinner one day. Thank you! Read more

We love Greek cuisine and decided to try Socrates in Maple Ridge for the first time. I have driven by this restaurant many times and wanted to try it....what a mistake. We ordered 2 Roast Lamb dishes. When the dishes arrived the lamb was seasoned very well but is was ... super dry, and overcooked by a LOT and in order to swallow it you had to drink water with it. The "Greek potatoes" were russet potatoes with the skin on....that was a first. Absolutely no lemon flavor at all. The rice was actually cooked perfectly with just the perfect bite but way under seasoned....that is why this review gets a 1 and not a zero. Now for the Greek Salad....not sure how to even say this....has anyone ever had a Greek Salad with a cream dressing? It was a mixture between a Ranch and Caesar dressing...and absolutely ZERO Feta....WOW! One thing you would assume a Greek restaurant would get right. Now the simplest thing...no Pita was served....really? My suggestion is if you want authentic Greek food, find another place. Read more

The food wasn’t horrible but it’s definitely just an bad attempt at real Greek cuisine Start off with the fact that the “Greek salad” was hardly edible due to the HUGE cuts of the tomato’s and cucumbers, then is topped with some “in house dressing” that goes horribly with it and ... isn’t even a attempt at Greek salad dressing which I find amusing Secondly I’m not sure why they put raw onions with the calamari?? Never seen that before Additionally the lamb rice and potatoes weren’t bad, potatoes reminded me of home and the lamb was well cooked and so was the rice Lastly the service was not bad but I was the only person in the whole restaurant so can’t definitively say service was amazing and quite disappointed when I said happy Easter weekend to her and got a weird look and no response (Easter is tomorrow) Wouldn’t recommend to someone looking for authentic Greek food Read more

Me and my boyfriend went out for my 23rd birthday and I had an amazing experience! Our waitress Yasmin was very good specially because it was her first day, and I had no complaints:)

Good food, nice ambiance, good size servings. In our group we had Platter A, BBQ roast lamb, baby back ribs, and pita bread. All was very good. There was enough left over for a full service.
