    Went here for our anniversary and can say wholeheartedly that we made the right decision! I’m not one to usually write reviews, but the food was delicious and the service was one of the best I’ve ever received!! For as busy as they get they are still incredibly attentive and personable! Kiki was probably the best server I’ve ever had at a restaurant and definitely made our night/anniversary! 10/10 would eat here again!!

    Whenever I am in town, I make it a point to dine at Hawksworth. The ambience, staff and competent kitchen have never disappointed me. This evening was no exception. At the reception desk I enjoyed a warm welcome snd was promptly seated. The serving staff deftly coordinated to provide me with a good meal and wise counsel on wine pairing. The shrimp cocktail proved worthwhile. Fresh, plump shrimp on ice were offered with both avocado and classic tomato seafood sauces. The saddle of lamb impressed me with its presentation in a deep, savoury fond that had a depth and taste that were exceptional. Chanterelle mushrooms added to the flavour profile of the dish. I finished the meal with a strawberry and rhubarb crumble, garnished with an artfully rich dollop of house made vanilla ice cream. The local strawberries were ripe and bursting with sweetness. Completely red on the inside, they helped me recall the sublime delight of ripe berries. The deceptive strawberries that are usually green and woody inside can make one forget the magnificence of a simple ripe berry. Hawksworth remains one of my favourite restaurants in Vancouver.

    Five girlfriends celebrating birthdays together. Beautiful, classy ambiance. Our server was top notch. We went here for pre dinner cocktails and a small snack. Her drink suggestions were appreciated. The complimentary flutes of bubby were a nice surprise. We will all definitely return.
