Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Sooke, Vancouver / British Columbia

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.

Very good Good tasting menu. Every dish was tasty and definitely enough food. Impeccable service. Pricey but worthwhile for special occasions.

We had a fabulous experience. The food was stellar along with the service. It was our Birthday celebration. They brought two delicious deserts ( lemon sorbet chocolate peanut butter gelato. The dolmades were unique and full of flavour. The calamari was crispy and light. The lamb chops exploded with flavour. I highly reccomend this neighbourhood gem.

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.

Amazing food with excellent service. I can’t wait to go back. Definitely order the duck.
