- EElishaVancouver / British Columbia •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoFirst time coming here. Wonderful service. Ambience is perfect. My husband and I totally loved their brussel sprouts(the char is perfect and the sauce is sublime) and beef tartare (love the cracker underneath the tartare and the flavouring with the egg yolk is amazing). 10/10 King salmon for one of the entrees is also perfect. The fish texture is wonderful, just cooked right. The sauce is the showstopper basically elevating the dish. 10/10 Mushroom risotto- we loved the taste but the consistency is not what we expected from a risotto. Otherwise, flavour is on point. 8/10 Roasted pork belly- my husband rates it at 7/10. He loved the pork belly itself but didn’t feel the puree properly complemented the meat. I would also rate it at 7/10 but mostly because i thought it would be crispier or at least have crispy edges but i do love the puree and the chicharonnes with it. Lastly my husband and I got the salted caramel pot de creme. Loved it. 10/10. Not too sweet. Loved the texture with the vanilla breton on top. My husband also got the Americano to finish, wonderful and superb as he said it. 10/10. Definitely will come back here and try their other dishes. ❤️More infoNightingalePrice: Expensive• Canadian• Coal Harbour•4.7

- BBroughanVIPVancouver / British Columbia •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoOur server Lenny was so friendly and helpful. Both our server and food runner took time to explain every part of the menu, and the aspects to each dish we ordered. My partner and I are certain we’ve had some of the best cocktails and the best sushi at Miku. Quality is their specialty and their service is always impeccable. Especially on a busy night like Valentine’s Day, everything ran smoothly for us and we were provided with a booth for the two of us which made dinner extra special! Thank you to the manager as well for responding quickly via email when I had questions about the set menu! Highly recommend their Aburi set, as it gives you a chance to try a variety of items, and for drinks the bergamot sour is a go to for a sweet yet balanced cocktail!More infoMiku Restaurant - VancouverPrice: Expensive• Japanese• Coal Harbour•4.8

- GGuyVancouver / British Columbia •3 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoMy wife and I went to Hawskworth for the first time (Me it was my second visit) and were throughly impressed. Service was attentive and the food very delicious, well prepared and warm. This is a restaurant that we will patronize. We went to Hawsworth to celebrate Valentine's day and my wife birthday and they brought a nice surprise of delicious home made candies. We felt welcomed the moment we stepped into Hawksworth.More infoHawksworth RestaurantPrice: Very Expensive• Canadian• Yaletown•4.5
