We enjoyed a family dinner at the Hawksworth. Organized team handling the reservation, questions, slight changes, checking in, coat checks. While two sommeliers were available to recommend wines, it was nice that there was a choice of alcohol free drinks for our party. Gratuity was determined by the guest which was a nice surprise.Kid-friendliness: No problem providing a high chair.

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.March 2024: yet another great evening. Our favorite place in Vancouver.

Incredible restaurant! Food, drinks, service all were 5star top shelf. We later the sommelier pick the wine and she hit she mark with a beautifully balanced BC merlot.If you are in Vancouver this restaurant is a must!!!
I loved the food here. Service was also top class. We had 3 servers looking out for us and gave us detailed suggestions and information about the menu and food. I loved the KF cauliflower - one of the best I have ever had!

ABYSMAL service, NO ambiance, and unapologetically self-important, with a menu that attempts to be inspired and results in confusion.Dear Fellow Diners, may I ask when was the last time YOU had occasion to request a different server at the outset of your dining experience? Perhaps that will explain this review.The server, an apparent used car salesman, who paused at our table long enough to ask about a beverage. When asked about sparkling wine by the glass, the server rattled off choices punctuating his remakes with their being “a good deal”. Presumably, a statement on our ability to enjoy fine dining? Before that discussion could continue, the server abruptly LEFT, attended to OTHER tables, chatting, taking orders, and relaying them to the kitchen.While we contemplated whether to leave (in hindsight, that would have been the correct decision), a French gentleman approached our table, seeing it absent of any beverage. A discussion of Cabernet ensued, and his recommendation was greatly appreciated. It was only later that we were advised this gentleman is the Sommelier, and a quite accomplished one at that.Since this gentleman was not a server, we asked if he might help us request a different server.A brief time passed and another individual approached our table, wanting to understand “what was the matter?” with a tone and demeanor that indicated we had failed to follow some unstated protocol (think “Soup Nazi” from Seinfeld). The events were related, we reiterated the request for a different waiter, or to simply pay for our bottled water and glass of fine. That was met with, “I don’t want that.” and orders were taken.A “green salad” (literally, a bowl of bitter mixed greens, devoid of flavor), and a pair of burgers (which had been highly and heartily recommended by the hotel Concierge).The original server did materialize once, and when advised we had requested a different server, his response was “Perfect” before dashing away.Periodically, a silent individual wound their way through the maze of tables, earning the nickname “Mako Shark” for the mechanical, purposeful manner of travel. A server, an assistant? A mystery.The burgers did arrive, served on a wooden platter, with a metal cup of french fries. The burger was average, with the promised cheddar, slices of bacon, onion ring, pickles, sliced tomato, and lettuce. An average burger and fries at the less than average price of $31 each. Presumably, there is considerable preparation in the onion ring, bacon, and other condiments.A separate set of ketchup and mayonnaise containers were provided for each burger. Mustard was not presented. Perhaps that is available on request, IF you have an attentive server. Or one willing to communicate.The ambiance is LOUD, blaring music, dimly lit (a flashlight helped to read the menus).Frankly, the meal was ruined by the original server, then punctuated by the exchange that followed. That marred the entire dining experience, rather than made any attempt at recovery from it.The simplest gesture of apology would have been immensely appreciated.Other patrons at other tables appeared to fare much better.This experience was relayed to a very surprised concierge, along with the suggestion that the establishment NOT be recommended.A final tally of over $120 for two burgers, a shared “salad”, and a glass of exceptional wine, with rude, inattentive service does seem to be a bit exorbitant. Perhaps there was an offering for courteous, helpful service on the menu that was overlooked. If only.Dine at your own peril.

I ordered its signature, the KFC (Korean fried cauliflower), something yet to be on the menu, and the duck.The KFC is perfect. Even if it's not in cauliflower, but in chicken, it would still be perfect fried chicken. But substituting chicken to cauliflower only makes it even better.That something yet to be on the menu, for me, shouldn't be on the menu at all. The sauce tastes unreasonably bitter, something similar with burnt smell. The rareness of the meat is not well distributed, making it tough to chew.I appreciate that they gave me a new dish, the duck, for free, in place of the previous one.The potato on the duck plate is so delicious, probably the best I have ever had. I also marveled at the tenderness of the duck that you don't even need a knife to put it into your mouth. However, the surface is unbelievably salty. I can only taste the salt without any other taste.I am not saying the restaurant is running bad business. I even appreciate their efforts to make me feel satisfied. However, for the money I pay, I can only give no more than 1⭐.

We went for my birthday, amazing food, service and ambiance! My brother called ahead to say that I was vegetarian for the multi-course dinner which was wonderful. I still think about it all these years later, it was that epic! Thank you for such a magical memory with my family.
