Hawksworth Restaurant Reviews

Service here was absolutely splendid. High props to the team!

COVID protocols were performed. Spaced diners, RSVP, hand sanitizer, servers wear masks, one way flow through 1 door out the other.

One of the best meals I've had in a very long time: Hawksworth's veal. The mushroom puree was unlike anything I've ever tried before. For an appetizer I tried the halibut crudo - this was not something I would have again, I found the onion flavour to be overpowering. However, the burrata gazpacho was incredible. The wine list is comprehensive and impressive and the service is top notch. For dessert had the dark chocolate chantilly cake with dehydrated raspberries. Excellent.

Had a beautiful time here with my family and the food was perfect! Service was excellent too! The quality of the foods were very nice indeed!

Great food. Great service. Great experience. A little pricey but the quality of food is great.

Great spot for good pizza with friends and family! Can't go wrong

This place has gone downhill lately. The $50 (take-out) fixed price dinner was the size of a couple very small appetizers. The food just didn t taste very good either. The tuna was dry and the dessert looked grocery store-bought. I threw most of it away.

Christmas day breakfast: services was exceptional, the waiter was very attentive and our two breakfast meals were done wonderfully. Overall a very good experience.

One of my preferred places to eat. fantastic location, clean, and great service. I recommend this place!

Great place, cool ambience with great music and good food. All checks for me! The rissotto with mashed potatoes are always really good.

Service is not always the best because of the number of people around. It can get crowded pretty quickly here, so better book your table beforehand.

Great place to eat if you looking for something fancy. Delicious cuisine!!

Mind.. blowing resturant . May I know resturent Gmail I'd...

I've worked in some great high-end, fine-dining restaurants, and as a guest I can honestly say Hawksworth's has been one of my best experiences to date. Our server Bertrand was excellent and very personable, our sommelier and wine steward incredibly well-versed and knowledgeable, and all the service staff were accommodating and friendly - it exceeded my expectations. I have been there before and everything seems to have improved - and it was very good to start with. The food was creative and tasty- we had the 6 course tasting menu - with brave and interesting choices both in the flavour profiles and in wine pairings; I did not expect to be a fan of halibut ceviche but it was extraordinary. I wasn't a huge fan of the sea urchin itself but the combination of foods it was presented with were exceptionally well married, and while I will likely never seek it out again due simply to the texture of the uni, it was very tasty indeed - and the sake pairing was a great choice. I expected to be hungry after the six course but was actually quite the opposite - not able to completely finish the rabbit course nor dessert; though I gave it a good effort (especially with the dessert) as it was so delicious. Thank you everyone at Hawksworth - you made my dinner - and my mom's 65th birthday - a real treat!

After a long day of work we decided to take our bicycles for a ride and pick up some take out this evening to support Mr. Hawksworth and went over to Coal Harbour to enjoy this lovely meal..we absolutely looooved the Israeli Couscous tabouleh salad!! That was our favorite!! But overall everything was wonderful for our little picnic.. the hostess was soo nice too! We will be back soon! I really hope all the best to this restaurant and hopefully they can survive the pandemic so we can always come back here. All the best Hawksworth and his lovely staff!

absolut a 5 start restaurant. Perfect for date nights. Great cocktail and seasonal menu. great ambience and great service. never disappointed.

Fine dining at its finest. Superb chef. Excellent wine list. Not inexpensive, but so good!

Food and atmosphere is beyond compare. The staff at Hawksworth ensure that your dining experience is most excellent!

My husband and I went here for the first time on our anniversary. The staff went above and beyond what we expected. The food was amazing, the staff were knowledgeable and very attentive, and the restaurant was very clean. We were very impressed to see the tables and whole chairs being wiped down after each customer.

Overall the entire experience was amazing and we would love to go back sometime.

The food taste mediocre and the plating is awful. The chef doesn t have taste for sure.

The food and service are terrific! Our server was super knowledgeable and friendly, he really made our night special and the drinks... OMG so good!

The food was exquisite and service was impeccable. Overall I had a wonderful experience with my girlfriends. The pictures don't even do the food justice as there were so many levels of flavor and depth into it. Absolutely loved it and if you're looking for a fine dining experience or just a date night out, this is the spot!

A friend is a chef here! This is probably the nicest restaurant in the city when it comes to upper class dining. Many choices abound, but Hawksworth does everything with care and attention to detail, so customer satisfaction is high.

Plus it's very swanky.

Wow! Not as good as I would have thought- not even close. Service was great however. Dining room decor needs an upgrade and food was bland and lack luster- could have had created better flavors at home- sorry guys. Also way under salted .

Off the charts service and the food is always excellent.

Beautiful restaurant located in the heart of the city. Love this place. Always perfect in every way. The service, the food, wine pairing oh and did I say service.

Outstanding food. Our first time here & my husband and could ve stayed for hours. We sat at the bar & had great service & conversation with bartender, server, and other patrons. An unexpected but gem of an experience

Easily the premiere fine dining room in the city. Service is always impeccable.

Wonderful staff and fantastic food. I came to celebrate finally obtaining my Divorce. It was the perfect place for celebratory drinks and amazing food. Thank you to all the staff, it was a memorable night !!

Service was great. Food was good but I was expecting more as I really enjoyed my meal at Nightingale.

Slightly more sophisticated place with good quality food and service.

It's a fine dining establishment, so the prices are high, but the food was delicious and the service was amazing. Went for an anniversary, and while they were doing this with other tables, they did an amazing job making us feel special. I would definitely go ahain

My wife and I dined at Hawksworth on our 20th anniversary. The food was excellent (prime rib) and they added some really nice little touches for us that made the evening special.

Brunch was amazing a little pricey but very well done

First time there ,food was not what we expected,over priced

Signature cuisine, variety of dishes, very extensive wine list. Excellent service with a very sober design

Love the food. It's considered fancy dining. The service is awesome.

Amazing restaurant had several wonderful meals here both on the bar and in the restaurant. Great drinks menu with a vast variety of wines and drinks for the bar.

Incredible meal, still one of the best in Vancouver. Sablefish is to die for, and a good collection of BC wines.

Jenna was amazing!!! Food was great, drinks were fabulous but Jenna made the experience amazing
.

One of the best restaurants in be city - the tasting menu is a must.

By far, one of the best restaurants in Vancouver. The decor, service and the fantastic food, of course. A true treasure.

Classy restaurant! Great food and an amazing service. It's a bit pricey but it's worth it. I will definitely come back again with my better half.

Amazing! Took my boyfriend for his birthday. The scallops and octopus appies were the highlight in my opinion. The ling cod was also super tasty and well-presented. Our server had a french accent and I'm sad I can't remember his name but he was really friendly and professional. This was a great dining experience <3

Amazing food and service! The tasting menu and dessert was great!

Delicious food and amazing dining experience! The service here is excellent, the staff go above and beyond to make your experience special.

Have just returned from what was a disappointing evening. Basically, the service, or lack of, overshadowed the food. Our waiter seemed to lose interest in us . We had starters, mains, and desserts. Each of us had one glass of wine only - maybe the waiter felt that the bill, and tip, was not going to be big enough. The food was adequate, not outstanding- certainly not up to what i would think Hawkesworths' reputation is all about. The beef carpaccio appeared to have been plated some time before, and was stuck to the serving plate. My main complaint was the fact that about half way through the meal, the waiter appeared to completley lose interest in us. He forgot to serve my guest's port, and then was surly when I requested it. Coffee was barely lukewarm- perhaps a a small detail, but important. Waited a very long time for the bill. I tipped 15 percent, for what i considered to be mediocre service. The waiter was just this side of snarky and rude.Never EVER will I recommend this restaurant. Or return.

Awesome food and service. Dishes and drinks were perfectly made. The sablefish was quite a large portion yet the meat was juicy with a nice crispy crust. The duck breast was super tender and juicy. Perfect flavours!

I wasn t expecting much from the gazpacho but it was fantastic. Full of flavour. Love the burrata cheese mixed with the tomatoes!

Definitely need to come back again.

Loved lamb loin! It was so tender and perfectly cooked! Scallops were delicious too.

My family and I had the most amazing experience from customer service, restaurant atmosphere, and most definitely the food.

A bit disappointed: when my friend invited me to dinner at the best Vancouver restaurant, the expectations were very high. The octopus was cold and pure cummin, the beef a bit over cooked for a medium, and the coffee wasn't fresh... But the Manhattan drink was the best of the night! Haven't had better!

A lot of the plating ideas looked like they originally had been drawn by a toddler with cheap crayons. My single scallop was alright. Not quite as elevated as one would have expected.

Excellent quality food and service. I've been to Hawksworth twice and both times have been fantastic. The flavours are delicious and I loved the home made deli meat. Definitely worth visiting.

extremely accommodating staff, awesome food, great times.

The food is very different. After I had gnocchi, I added another burger. Very tasty.
Be sure to try another meal again. If driving to valet parking is the best option $28 all day.

It just ok , food not like 4.5 but environment and service is better then their food

Had our intimate wedding reception dinner here last night at the York Room and it was amazing. The food tasted delicious and all our guests left very happy with the meal. The cod dish and condensed milk ice cream was something that our guests absolutely raved about. Food was excellent as per Hawksworth s reputation, however, it was really the service that sets them apart. Our lead server, Eric, was amazing. I had our friends show up early to help set up our sweetheart table before dinner. However, my friends said that Eric saw what needed to be done and did it all himself and made the table look awesome. He definitely didn t need to do anything and he went well above and beyond what s expected of him to make the night extra memorable. Thank you Hawksworth for the great evening of food and drinks, as well as Eric for providing outstanding service!

I had one of the most divine culinary experience here: pate paired with a riesling. Pairing was suggested by their sommelier, and it was the first time that I had experienced what a good wine pairing was. Unfortunately for me, it was my appetizer, and everything else came after paled in comparison.

The friendly staff and delicious cuisine are the best restaurants in Vancouver.

Best food I've ever had, service to match. Really accommodating of allergies

I had such high expectations for the dinner in the restaurant tonight but the experience was really disappointing!!! The food was just okay, nothing amazing and worth the hype. Not to mention that the service is just horrible! Our server was simply rude! His voice was so low that nobody can hear him clearly. Then he had no patience with our questions. When I asked about the parfait, what he said was it s just a parfait... what kind of answer was that! Overall his attitude was arrogant and rude. The experience was so poor that I am not coming back for dinning anytime soon!

Great food and service. Tables a bit too close and crowded but overall very good :)

We went for dinner and I have to say that it was a fantastic dinner. The experience was 100% satisfactory. The food is out of this world.. the dishes are perfectly well balanced, flavours are perfect and presentation is obviously first class. The quantities are not scampi nor huge, they serve you enough food to feel satisfied.
The creativity of the menu offers is amazing and there is something for everyone. I have an allergy which informed in advance and they were aware of it and accommodated accordingly.
The cocktails were creative and of high quality and desserts were not only creative but tasty as it can be.
I informed in advance of our birthday celebration and they presented my wife s dessert with a candle and chocolate card. It was a nice gesture.
The service is attentive but not over you all the time. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable and described each dish with an amazing accuracy!
The place can be noisy for sure but the ambiance is great and nicely decorated.
It is expensive no doubt but for special occasions it is worth it!

The atmosphere is that of the high class, very beautiful, elegant, and high class. 2 of us had the benny, myself the salmon benny, it was perfection on the plate but for us it was the price that got us, 90 dollars for a breakfast for 2 was unbelievable. Even tho the experience was good, food was good, it was still lacking for them to have such high prices

Amazing food and service. They also had no problem making me a beautiful vegan meal.

Returned to Hawksworth to celebrate my wife's birthday. As usual, everything was perfect. This is the place we celebrate all our anniversaries, birthdays, and other special occasions. The service is as good or better here as any fine dining restaurant I have ever enjoyed, anywhere in the world.

Hands down the best "white food" in town. Definitely the go to spot for special occasions. We ordered the scallop and squid for appetizers. The squid had a fusion unique taste to It, a must have! For the main course it was the steak and sablefish, both took our breath away. We'll be coming back in the summer to try the rest of the menu.

Food: excellent. Service: not so much.
The quality of the product coming from the kitchen is superb, but the wait staff continually interrupted our conversation, and left me sitting without a drink for 30 minutes- I had to flag the maitre'd and ask for service. Yet when the staff do speak they seem to fawn, while at the same time they also mumble. Needs improvement. Also: space is loud.

Delicious food and excellent service. This is one of my favorite restaurants in town, both for dinner and brunch. Their English breakfast is a must have, and their cocktails are off the charts!

If you want to feel like the prince of Vancouver, eat here because the wait staff are truly classy. Best food I've ever eaten of this style. If it weren't so expensive this would be my daily dinner!

Honestly my favourite restaurant in terms of food and service!!! Came here for a quick late night dinner last year and decided to have my birthday dinner party here. So last year I had my birthday dinner in the Bel Dining Room which fit 17 people and it was an awesome experience. The staff were friendly, patient, and professional. I went back for my birthday again this year and got to try the truffle pasta appetizer, it was amazing!!! I love the banana ice cream dessert too. I also got to try their food on an Air Canada flight, I think I just love everything about Hawksworth.

Please visit me. Dress for success and you will fit in well. High end at medium end price point.

Great food, ambience, and service. The manager was very accommodating and the waiter was fantastic. The only thing to nit-pick is the broccoli on the lamb dish! I think there could've been more fun, creative choice for a crunchy green other than just some broccolis. And the tartare was a little bland, not sure if it's because I had the salad first, but I thought it could've been better. Otherwise everything else was amazing.

I think the word that comes to mind is delightful! Great setting, atmosphere and service. The food is prepared with attention to detail and I came away quite satisfied! A bit of a treat because the price point is a bit higher than average but worth a trip anyway!

The burger in Hawksworth. I go back for it at least once per year. I live 3500km away. The cocktails are excellent here, too. Location is great, practically across the street from the airport SkyTrain stop.

We came here for a birthday dinner back in July and I must say, covid protocols could have been done better. There were way too many people walking by our table without masks and speaking loudly to each other. When the restaurant reopens, please take out more tables and request patrons to wear a mask at all times until they are seated at their tables.

The food was great though - we especially enjoyed the cocktails and mocktails. Very creative and very delicious. Would recommend their burger with fois gras.

We had a great time! Delicious food, leisurely atmosphere. Tasting menu and wine flight were excellent.
