While this award-winning favorite lost its famous chef in 2008 (David Hawksworth's eponymous new downtown eatery was yet to launch at the time of writing), the sleek spot has retained its commitment to superb seasonal West Coast dining with ultra-attentive service and a great wine selection. Ideal for a romantic night out, menu highlights often include Queen Charlotte halibut and Pemberton Valley striploin, while the pastry chef delivers some of the best desserts in town. Before you leave, ask to try the sliding ladder attached to the wine shelves.
