    First, service was super relaxed and friendly, and I got some great recommendations. Second (and more importantly) the food was great! Highly recommend the leeks. Really enjoyed the bar seating - I love watching the cooks and got to ask some questions about preparation.

    The food was delicious, the cocktails were fun, colorful, and perfectly crafted, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance—romantic for a date night yet lively enough for a fun girls’ night out. The menu offers a great variety, with enough options to accommodate dietary restrictions, making it a welcoming spot for everyone. The service was nothing short of stellar—attentive and friendly without being overbearing. Highly recommend this spot for any occasion!

    This is the place I take all my vegan and non-vegan friends and family when they visit the city. The tasting menu with wine pairing is an awesome price for the quality and thoughtfulness of everything Hawker offers, I’ve never had someone not say it was at least in the top 5 best meals they’d ever had! The cocktails are also wonderful across the board
