First time eating Brunch at Earls and our group enjoyed it better than imagined. Josh, our server, was extremely friendly and very on top of things - Kudos Josh! The Winter Lounge is the best patio in Yaletown, hands down. The only improvement could be The Chorizo Hash portion - felt too small. But the taste was out of this world, hats off to the incredible back of house team!

First time going to Hawksworth. Originally went for the last day of their 1.50 oysters but when we arrived they said they were all out. Ended up ordering oysters anyways and the beef tenderloin, and both were absolutely amazing. The Fanny. bay oysters were melt in your mouth delicious and the tenderloin was cooked to perfection. We shared a 3 cheese plate as well to end the evening, and the blue cheese was next level! When the bill came, they actually ended up only charging us 1.50 for the oysters so overall, it was a fantastic experience! Can’t wait to come back!

An innovative and exciting addition to the Vancouver scene. The service was on point, the food is innovative and excellent. The cocktails are interesting and we enjoyed, but it may be nice to add some classic cocktails to the menu as well. Stand out dishes were the lamb skewers and the duck fried rice. The ambiance is very nice, but perhaps a bit too bright, but the interior design is very beautiful and modern without feeling cold. We will definitely be back!
