We ordered our favourite white creamy clam chowder soup to start. I specifically asked the server to please make sure the clam chowder is hot vs warm as we've had that unfortunate experience before. Well, the soup came out barely hot. A slight disappointment. We had a margarita pizza with mushrooms for our main dish, along with yam fries and four prawn sushi tacos. The tacos were alright. Once again I told the server to please make sure that the yam fries are light on the salt. They came out saltier than ever. A disappointment for sure. They did switch the yam fries to my original request after a little bit. Overall it was a good experience. More emphasis should be put into the requests of the guests though. Hopefully this changes for the better. 🙂

When in Vancouver, a visit to Hawksworth is always in order. I decided to try the seasonal tasting menu. The selection looked impressive on the menu. It exceeded my expectations as I savored each bite. Thoughtful wine pairings complemented each course. Top marks for service and presentation. The sea bass, duck, and sunchoke ice cream were stellar. For the price, such fare is great value. The attentive service only contributed to the experience. I highly recommend Hawksworth.
