Hawksworth is one of those restaurants known for its quality of food and service, but it s definitely an investment. I ve been for both casual dining in their bar area, as well as a nice dinner in their dining room. For the casual bar dining, we had the burger with drinks. Hawksworth is one of the few places in Vancouver that will ask you how you like your burger cooked. They can do this because they grind their own beef, and therefore can control the quality. I appreciate this because I often like my burgers cooked medium.
We came here most recently for a special occasion, and sat in their main dining area. The atmosphere was fancy, but not too pretentious. They have a generous wine list ranging in all prices and taste. They also have a creative cocktail menu full of interesting concoctions. The service staff is very attentive, never leaving your glass empty and doting on your every question. They have a tasting menu that takes you through the flavors of BC, but we opted to dine a la carte. The seasonal fare was plated with immaculate creativity, almost too good looking to eat! . Everything was delicious and the steak was big enough to share with some appetizers. It s worth a treat!
