I highly recommend Hawksworth and our server (Mr. B) was one of the best we have had. Not only was it a real pleasure to be there for a delicious meal but the overall experience was an extremely memorable one, given the attention to detail and the way our server went above and beyond to make it super special!!

The food was very good, and prices in line with other good restaurants. We had very good service and help choosing wine. The selection for food is almost everything you could want from seafood and fish to so much more. My steak was overdone but given a fresh one very quickly. Dessert was chocolate lava cake. My husband gives it a 5/5. The view was magical with all the Christmas trees on the lawn lit and Vancouver was lit up beautifully. A really lovely night out. We will be going again soon as week night is not as busy as weekends.

The beef dip, to quote those who had it at my table, was the best they ever had! Services was good but a wee bit slow. Overall an excellent choice!
