    Best Lunch in town! Convenient downtown location located in the Georgia hotel. Beautifully appointed dining room comfortable seating, swanky decor, great place to people watch. The food is over the top, I had the foie gras appetizer, followed by the seafood tower. It was epic! The in-house Somalia Antoine is happy to guide you through the wine list. The service is friendly, knowledgeable, professional, They definitely make you feel welcome and important comma even if you're not. I will definitely go back, so many items on the menu to work through. Thank you Hawksworth!

    Excellent meal at Joey’s Bentall! Tried the cod for the first time, what a delicious dinner. I will be back just for the cod! The kids shared a cheeseburger and hubby had the katsu chicken salad, always delicious. The restaurant was busy, pre hockey game crowd. Our waiter Thomas G, was a star! He added to an already great meal, he was attentive in all the right ways, with a smile and a sense of humour.
