Hawksworth Restaurant Reviews

It's wonderful that Vancouver has places like Hawksworth.
A experience to dress for, and look forward to

We had scallops to start, sable fish and sturgeon as mains, all excellent.

Comparable with Bishop's, or Lupo.

Fine dining experience. Consistent quality and excellent service.

BEST gnocchi ever! Beautiful restaurant for a special night out! One of Vancouvers BEST!

Fantastic high end cocktails and service. Great atmosphere. Not cheap but worth it.

Nice location. Exquisite food. Pricing is a little high.

Unfortunately I didn't get the chance to try the tasting menu but it looked like a popular choice.

Chicken was cooked perfectly.
Goose liver is always a treat.

Give this place a chance and it might be for you.

Nice atmosphere, good service, and very knowledgeable staff. Food is obviously good. Won't argue with the critics that say it's the best restaurant in Vancouver.

Elegant and timeless, many can learn from the experience, ambiance, presentation and palette attentive dishes. Truly timeless.

First class food and service! The duck breast was amazing with the mix of purees and lentils. My wife had the salmon dish which was nice and moist but skin was perfectly crispy. Priced accordingly

Beautiful restaurant located in the heart of the city. They have a great bar and a really good dinner menu as well. I found the hostess and wait staff to be very attentive and knowledgeable. Great place for a date night or even a corporate dinner with clients/partners. It is a little on the expensive side, but you pay for what you get. Food quality and ambiance were excellent. Highly recommended.

I had the curray dish with cod and rice which was excellent.

Been here a couple times now. The food is well presented with lots of different flavours combined. The service is very good. It is a bit expensive so best for special occasion.

Had our wedding anniversary dinner at hawksworth. Althought I have been there many times for business lunch but never sit down to enjoy a nice dinner. Professional waiter and sommelier. The food was delicious!! We will come back again for sure!

Tasty cocktails, whiskey selection a little limited but solid.

Incredibly slow service. Took over an hour for the food to come after ordering. They took a $275 deposit for our group of 8 for a brunch reservation which seems unnecessary when they also call you 3 times to confirm your reservation before you arrive. When we arrived the restaurant was not even half full. The food was mediocre at best. Vancouver has alot of better options than this for brunch.

Food and service is fantastic. Everyone congratulated us on our 10 year anniversary and they gave us a more intimate table and some snacks to bring home. The seasonal tasting menu was amazing 8ng as usual.

Delicious food, amazing service and a friendly staff. We let them know we were celebrating our anniversary when we made the booking and they went out of their way to help us make the night special.

Went for brunch today with my parents and husband. The greater gave off a vibe of not wanting to accommodate us. Granted we did not have a resorvation, but it seemed like seeing if she could seat us some how was too difficult of a task for her. After 5 minutes of her seeming confused she offered to seat us in the lounge which we accepted. Had she explained the restaurant was full her behaviour would have made more sense.

Our server was nice and professional and very personable. The food however was subpar for the price.

Excellent, creative fare in a classical dining setting. The presentation of each dish were all works of art. Completely unique and delicious. A must-try if you're in Vancouver.

I have been coming to Hawksworth restaurant since year one and to date I do not have a negative thing to say about the establishment maybe except that is too good and my wallet hates that. That being said, you get what you pay for and Hawksworth defines that. I really feel like they are the best restaurant in Vancouver for putting together great food with outstanding service. It is always attentive but not hovering and I am never without the server should I need him or her (although now I make it a point to book with my favourite server, sounds really pretentious I know but he is amazing).

I have had some very notable dishes over the years which may not available now but I would find it challenging to not like something on their seasonal menus. Some of the dishes that have knocked my socks off are the hamachi sashimi with myer lemon puree, seared halibut with lap cheung (cured chinese sausage) broth, venison, seared wagyu and this pork belly starter. The tasting menu is never a bad route as well, I've had it twice and honestly each time I have felt like I needed to be wheeled out.

My advice is to always have a cocktail here because their bar program is stand out and of course always, ALWAYS have dessert here as well. The pastry chef (Wayne Kozinko) is doing some magic in the kitchen and the desserts here are creative and playful on the palette which stand up against the food menu here. I feel it is important to mention that because often great food meals can end poorly with dessert that seems dull in comparison to the food but it definitely is not the case here.

The tasting menu with beverage pairings was outstanding. My group s dietary restrictions were varied, but all were well accommodated. The service was excellent. I would definitely return.

Went for lunch. The server charged each person 5 dollars for tap water without saying water was 5 dollars until the bill arrived. We complained and he took it off the bill. Also charged additional 5 dollars for a hot water with lemon. The food was okay. Had burrata and fois gras to start. Both were ok. Nothing special. Fois gras was burried in this sweet berry jello. Burger was ok. Have had better for less money. The lamb was very tender but not that flavorful. The server was not attentive and made a mistake with a request. Overall it was extremely overpriced and the food was mediocre. There are far better restaurants in Vancouver.

Vancouver city is blessed with abundance of food places including some top chef/michelin award winner fine dinning restaurants like hawksworth .

Chef david hawksworth planted his lavish restaurant inside the immaculate lobby of rosewood georgia hotel, vancouver( very accessible n easy to find) As usual parking is on the road so better walk here from nearby parking lots. We got lucky to get parking right around the corner

Warm and inviting ushers/hosts take ur name down to check ur reservations n then ur coats if u wanna hang them safe. We did the same and got our token number. A lady guided us to our table and along the way , we were greeted by most of the staff members in a welcoming manner.

The moment we sat down to observe the ambiance, i really liked the well layed cutlery on the tables, many staff members standing probably to keep check of their respective tables assigned. A beautiful big painting of a book cover was eye catching. Dim lights and modern decor just finished the touches of fine dine restaurant.

Menu was full of globe spanning list of liquor like wines, champagne,whiskeys,vodka,rum,italian vermouth n angostura( some base of herb n spices). So let me tell you that a drink called indulgent Manhattan worth $125 will hit you in seconds. (Its sour though n its just 3 oz). I dont know why but our server asked us twice if we wanted that drink worth $125? I would say maybe we got to dress little more expensive to proof our wealth/ money honey

Fine dinning here doesn t mean tiny portions just to make the plate dirty but actually serves the purpose- hunger. Menu is definitely fine tuned every now and then to bring new additions of local and seasonal ingredients. Winter BC jan menu page had very interesting choices but we sticked to our vegetarian options only. Surprise there were some.

Our brussal sprouts appetizer was very very delicious with a tinch of sweetness( maybe maple syrup). Salad with chickpeas was quite fulfiling . Duck breast was well cooked as i suggested. I am sure we ordered brassica as our main course instead we got something else but my BF doesn t like to create a scene so he had the vegetarian bowl which was fried brocolli n other veggies in a very tangy sauce. ( that took the 5th star away)

Everything is always perfect. From your server to the last bite of dessert. Never disappoint.

The most close to Vancouver Michelin style restaurant Whether it's atmosphere dishes or services are first-class Located in the most prosperous downtown area The best place to holiday celebrations

Last visit to Vancouver.. Ziggy Marley's concert 2017 I joined friends in the lounge, I've been to Hawksworth on several occasions to chill in the lounge have a few martinis.. great service.. cozy classy place!

Great Customer service is nice. All the staff members are very friendly and professional .

While I'd heard lots of hype and some disappointing experiences, mine at Hawksworth was flawless. Amazing service, food and vibe in the place. Possibly the best food I've had in Vancouver, as you'll hear.

This is doubtless one of the coolest place to eat in the neighborhood. Every time I visit this place I am remarkably pleased. They hold their very high level service and the topmost level of meals they offer. You no doubt will love this place. Very recommended.

My girlfriend and I had the tasting menu. Each of the 7 dishes was superb, especially the Duck Breast. The presentation of these dishes was original. The service was impeccable. We both would definitely recommand this restaurant to anyone not on a budget.

Really grossed out to hear that David Hawksworth doesn t think women should work as chefs. Boycotting both his restaurants.

Definitely does not belong in Vancouver s top restaurants list. Food is good but not exceptional by any means (my chicken was actually terrible but other dishes were alright). Service hit and miss. Tried to order wine well before our meals and told sommelier would be right over, except he never came and food was dropped off with no follow up for wine/drinks. Not a terrible experience but won t be back. Not on par with Lift, Joe Fortes, L Abattoir, etc.

Great ambiance and service. Food was very nicely prepared but slightly light on flavor, especially the Foie gras and Duck breast. Would definitely return

After years of coming here, this remains one of Vancouver's top restaurants. This is my "go-to" place whenever I am celebrating events, have visitors in town, or want a beautiful dinner. If I had to pick one dinner in Vancouver, this would be it.

The service, food, drinks and overall atmosphere has been maintained since it opened. The servers are friendly and knowledgeable of all food offerings.

Despite the menu offering similar items, the style of cooking the items changes. The Duck Breast is my absolute favorite along with the Hotel Georgia cocktail

What an experience enjoying the tasting menu. We have never had such an interesting culinary adventure. Each of the dishes was very well presented and tasted amazing. Before we began enjoying the meal our waiter gave a wonder explanation of the treat we were in for. The dishes were epic perhaps not the greatest in our lives but to have such a variety of ingreadients presented in such a sophisticated manner is unlike no other meal we have had before. A once in a life time experience.

Excellent service but the food not so.
We were looking forward to a lovely anniversary breakfast in a top restaurant; however, were sadly disappointed. Eggs were overcooked and hollandaise sauce was cold. I don't like to complain (and shouldn't need to in a fine dining restaurant) and didn't want to put our excellent waiter through the trouble, so tried to eat it but couldn't finish. A disappointing finish to a celebratory stay over in Vancouver.

Great ambiance, attentive service, delicious food! Kudos to the managment, well done! Will definitely be returning!

Amazing food, had a perfectly cooked duck breast and ribs and mushroom risotto for appetizers. Sommelier had fantastic recommendations to go with the food and or server, Eric, was helpful and friendly

Very good food and stunning presentation. Also their cocktails are absolutely on point- I d go even just to sit at the bar (which is also beautiful of course.) Pricey but worth it!!

Don't let the simplicity of the menu decieve you. The food is quite good. Every dish is interesting and well thought out. The servers are quite knowledgeable.

My boyfriend and I went for the New Years Eve Chef's special. We've been once before for a dinner service and had such a wonderful time, we thought it was the perfect way to ring in the New Year - and we were right. The wait staff was very helpful and knowledgeable, and the Sommeliers had paired the wines perfectly with the dinner. I have multiple allergies and though we had let them know ahead of time, the kitchen was thoroughly prepared to offer me separate plates when needed, which made it more enjoyable, since I didn't need to worry about what I was eating. The food was incredible - every course had it's own unique flavours and textures, and the plating itself was gorgeous and highlighted the different dishes perfectly. We will most definitely be back!

They treated my family with respect and the server was very gracious.

Great restaurant, amazing service, amazing food. The Foie Gras that they serve is to die for. Highly recommend this fine establishment!

Great food and service but not really memorable. Not one of those "i must come back" places

One of Vancouver's most famous fine dining establishments. It lives up to its reputation in terms of service and food quality. Amazing.

Good atmosphere and good food or staff. Always a pleasure to go there.
