Hawk & Hen

This place is usually surprisingly quiet. It doesn't seem to have the word of mouth and popularity of other, similar places. This is surprising because the breakfast is on par with most of the trendy places in the city, bit with a much larger space and no wait. Dinner is also good and they have a fully stocked bar. My only complaint has ever been that floor management seems a little disorganized, so watch out when they do get busy!

The place was so good! So much flavor with our plates. There were 3 of us. One ordered the spare ribs, another with the game hen, then one with the steak. We shared the chorizo tapas and a couple beers. We were all blown away with the quality of food and flavor throughout each dish. Evan our waiter knew each item and told us the ins and outs of each plate he was great!. The beer selection was great along with the wine! We will be back for sure.

Four of us were visiting Victoria from a cruise ship and we wandered into this place because most places were very busy yesterday evening. This reviewer is the least critical of just about any place above fast food but my companions are quite the opposite. This is actually their review. They loved it to a man and two women. The appetizer was fried artichoke hearts with a lemon dip and all were very pleased. Each ordered a different entree. They were pasta and meatballs, Sockeye salmon, halibut and chips and the fourth was another appetizer( a small pizza with chorizo). Our beers were the Phillips Blue Buck Ale and the Analogue 78 Kolsch. We loved everything(the flavors, the presentation, the service and the atmosphere) and cannot understand why this place isn't as busy as the others in the neighborhood. We are not locals so our taste may not stand up to what Victorians are used to, but I advocate giving this place an opportunity to wow you.

Solid place to go. Great downtown location. Parking close by. Food was soooo tasty. Eggs Benny was slightly overcooked so if you like med ask for closer to soft. Taste and food quality can make you easily overlook a slightly more solid eggs Benny yolk. Service was really good. Quick. Friendly. What more an you ask for. I will be back.
