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!

When in Vancouver, a visit to Hawksworth is always in order. I decided to try the seasonal tasting menu. The selection looked impressive on the menu. It exceeded my expectations as I savored each bite. Thoughtful wine pairings complemented each course. Top marks for service and presentation. The sea bass, duck, and sunchoke ice cream were stellar. For the price, such fare is great value. The attentive service only contributed to the experience. I highly recommend Hawksworth.
