Renowned Vancouver chef David Hawksworth has announced the name and location of his anticipated second restaurant venture. I'll protruding again and hope it's a one off. Customer service is a big thing for me and I'm just not. The food was good, the location beautiful, most staff where fantastic, if you're willing to look past the poor attitudes/ interactions. Maybe they where having a bad day but I just found 2 poor staff interactions off putting. Their response was a very flat, very unpleasant, uninterested no and a Hmm when I asked. Located at 1017 West Hastings Street West, Vancouver, British Columbia, V5K 0A1., CA. When they produced the bottle I asked if they knew much about the wine or the winery, a local BC favourite. Located at 1017 West Hastings Street West, Vancouver, British Columbia, V5K 0A1., CA. ( I'm not sure if this was the sommelier our server spoke of or simply a runner ). My second off putting experience with staff was the person who served our bottle of wine. Our server was lovely, friendly, checked in often but not too pushy or over bearing. At no time did I think we didn't have to wait I was simply checking in. The young women standing beside him at the tablet asked what time, again I said 915 and her snarky response was " yeah, you're going to have to wait your reservation is 915 the table isn't ready". The young man at the desk said hello and I informed him we had a reservation for 915. While a few others where checking in before us we waited our turn patiently. We had reservations for 9:15 and arrived at 9:02 the small lobby / reception area is very small. My very first experience with the hostess was less than stellar. Salted Caramel Crème De Pot and Chocolate Ganache where fantastic. The Chorizo Pizza was good but could have been a tad bit crispier. Roasted Brussels Sprouts where ok Seared Tuna was delicious Sweet potato was different and I enjoyed it. The food was good we ordered quite a bit in order to get an all around experience. Upstairs a second level looking over the downstairs and an open kitchen. This restaurant is lovely, dimly lit downstairs with a gorgeous open ceiling and beautiful bar. ![]()
