Hawksworth earned his fame for culinary adventure and reliable quality at West for years. Getting a new place with his name on it gives his the right to charge West prices for minor league pasta with a few fragments of morel? I think the city of Vancouver should be incensed.
On the other paw, Ensemble makes me proud to live in Vancouver, proud to have been born in the same distant province as the chef, and amazed my taste buds could be so delighted in this otherwise minor league culinary town. If they can find someone who can make a decent drink, they would be Michelinorino. Anyone else eating well in Vancouver this year? It's hard to discover from this site.

From the website, the food looks fairly derivative and the usual triumph of style over substance. The menu is too long to be taken seriously; but prices seem very reasonable. Maybe one has to order several plates.

Not enough wow to drag me from West Vancouver.
