We visited Surv for the first time last night and I was a bit disappointed. We ordered our drinks and it took about 25 minutes to get our first round to the point where we ordered our second round when the first round came out. They were very slow in general (it was a Saturday night). Eventually we got to order our food but they were so far behind that she took our whole order at once, both apps and meals. The good news is that the food was good. We got the mushroom spring rolls and tuna tartar which were both excellent. The pizza was pretty good but I thought the dough was understated. I got the short rib as my meal which was delicious. My only strong complaint about the food was the mashed potatoes that came with the short rid. Over salted and had a strong garlic flavor that wasn’t pleasant. I didn’t even eat them. Overall the food was good but the service and drink situation was very underwhelming.

I've had the pleasure of dining here a few times & have no complaints! This restaurant is great for mushroom lovers & has options for those like me with dietary restrictions. Perfect place for a date night or to celebrate. Awesome selection of mixed drinks, beer, and wine. Their pizza is delectable as well.

First time in “SURV” But DEFINITELY will Not be our last. Place and Service was very Nice. Food was very very GOOD and they are Not stingy with the portions, they fill the plate so you will be leaving with a To Go bag. SURV is a Must try even if you do not live in the area. 👍🏾 Thank Me Later 🫡

The food was awesome. I had the braised short ribs with potatoes and brussel sprouts. Our server Sierra was fantastic. I will definitely come back.

Stopped by Surv this weekend to relax and grab some apps. They have a diverse menu and what we tried we really enjoyed. Very clean establishment, just a little large for my liking. I HIGHLY recommend the crab egg rolls! I will be back for a full dinner, for sure!

Surving somewhat of a mysterious vibe lol
It was our first time here on a Saturday night. I had the large plate vegetable and jasmine rice bowl and my partner had a seafood stew special. The food itself was decent, he ate all of the seafood special but it was too salty and because he didn't know the price until the end, $42..... I didn't realize I ordered a large plate meant for sharing but the bowl (despite not being served in a bowl) was good. Our server, Bryan I believe, was also very nice, had a good attitude and was probably the highlight of the evening.
There were a few odd things. I had the forbidden margarita which should have actually been forbidden because it had a strange bitter aftertaste. My partner had the seafood stew but didn't get any hand wipes to clean his hands. The small/bread plates have this design that looks like they have stains on them from food, just a weird thing to see at a restaurant in my opinion. It also took an hour to get our entrees.....
Overall I think I would go back to see if things were the same or have improved, I'd get another drink and see if the wait times for food have gotten better. But otherwise it was just ok.

A chic gem nestled in an old shopping plaza, where the plaza is evolving positively. The spacious restaurant boasts an open concept, featuring a well-arranged central bar perfect for watching games or hanging out with friends. Good food, fantastic staff, and reasonable prices make Surv a great choice for date nights, family dinners, or any occasion that deserves the charm of a beautiful bar setting. Highly recommend!

I was hesitant to eat here based on the 50-50 reviews, but I’m glad we did. We made reservations but prob didn’t need them on Sunday night. The restaurant itself is really well designed and cozy. The staff was friendly and great. The manager checked in on us, and our waiter was awesome. The complimentary bread and dipping oil was honestly great- the oil with the herb was hands down the best I have had. It was light and paired with the bread very well! We got the margarita pizza and it was very good- the sauce was def their own slightly sour but sweet and it blended with the cheese very well. The crust was perfectly cooked also. For the main I wanted to do the lamb but sometimes when you get lamb it’s not great and I didn’t want to chance it lol so we ended up both getting the pork chop. When the waiter spoke of it, you could tell it was his fave and a good choice! I’m just going to say it was an excellent pork chop- tender, juicy and full of flavor! The side it came with was risotto but I don’t know I would call it risotto- it was very good whatever it was. My husband and I are still debating what it could have been lol. Whatever it was it worked and we loved it! We got dessert to go- peanut butter pie and hummingbird cake. The peanuts butter pie was good, but the hummingbird cake was ok- it had that sitting in the fridge taste to it. We don’t usually do dessert anyway so no big deal. They have a good draft beer selection-and since we were doing Hotel of Horror after dinner I went with the pumpkin ale- good choice!
Overall, this is really a hidden gem in Forks Twp. We will def come back - the service, the food, the atmosphere were all excellent. It was local and close. It’s nice to have a good restaurant in our area that is not the same pizza-Chinese-fast food- subs. Def try this place!

We came for the wine paired dinner. It was wonderful. We'll be back to try their regular menu.
The Atmosphere is upscale contemporary lounge. Great for date night.

We really gave this place a fair shot, visited four times and three out of the four times the service and speed of the kitchen were absolutely HORRIBLE. It honestly is some of the worst service and slowest to deliver food and drinks of anywhere we have dined in the valley.
The sad part about all of this is the food and atmosphere are actually really good! They make a Manhattan with Jim Beam and use bottom to mid shelf liquor for their drinks so I can’t give much praise in the bar department but the kitchen makes up for it. Lastly their pizza is some of the best in the area too.
I would not recommend dining in here and will definitely will not be giving it a fifth shot. Take out for sure but unless you want to spend three hours of your night with below average service in a restaurant that is clearly and visibility understaffed and poorly managed, I could not recommend this place.
Sorry guys, we gave you a fair shake!
