This was our first time at Hanks and it was perfection. We went for the tasting menu of the week and were given 6 courses. I wouldn’t call myself a picky eater, but I’m not very adventurous when eating at restaurants, so I usually order a meal I’m familiar with and know I’ll enjoy. I ended up ordering the tasting menu because I wanted to try items I wouldn’t regularly order and I’m happy to say each plate turned out amazing. Special shout-out to the cheeseburger because it was DELICIOUS. Every detail was spot on; the bun, sauce, crispy cheese, and juicy patty.
I had an incredible evening at Hank's. I sat at the bar with my friend and ordered the tasting menu paired with wine. What an experience! The amount of food was perfect. The selection was very diverse and delicious. There will be pictures of each dish, so check them out! By far, my favorite dish was the elk leg and mushrooms. Our chef explained each dish in detail, so I will spare my attempt at doing that and say that if you go, I'd reccomend sitting at the bar. He is very inspired and passionate about his craft. We were lucky the owner was there to bring each glass of wine to life! I'm very much looking forward to returning for another incredible evening. Thank you everyone at Hank's for putting love into what you do!
Here for a quick trip to Victoria and wow walking by saw this little gem. It’s an absolute must! We ordered the squash, the meatballs and the steak. The taste, presentation and flavours were out of this world! Completely impressed, it’s quaint and perfect for a group of 3 , a single or a romantic couple we shared each dish and it was a perfect portion! Unbelievable far exceeded any expectations! This is a must eat here spot! If you live here and haven’t been - this is a must and for any tourist wow you must stop in!
Very creative and delicious food. Unique pairing of ingredients like pork and peaches. It's like a food adventure because you don't know what's coming next and the food is also quite artfully presented too with nice colors. The only downside is that the ragu was extremely salty and less would have been more in this case and overall the dishes were on the saltier side. In my opinion, many dishes would have tasted just a bit better if less salt was used.
My second try, We made a reservation online for 6 pm on Friday for dinner. It was a date night. We were seated right on Douglas Street just the two of us. It was a different/neat spot to sit for dinner. However the window was filthy. Not just on the outside but on the inside. The whole booth where we were seated was actually gross. There were all kinds of dried marks on the walls and along the ledges, where there was also substantial dust accumulated. Yuck. We ordered two of the tasting menus @ 90$ per person and an order of a waygu beef @45$ We also ordered drinks. The first plate arrived. It was a tuna salad. Thinly sliced tuna with thinly sliced strawberry alternating in a small log formation. Heavily salted. It was very very small. I had to ask our server if he had made a mistake on our order. Confirming we had both ordered the tasting menu, we were told that it was served family style. So both of our servings came on the same plate. The plate was hardly a tasting for 1 let alone a tasting for two. The second single plate showed, again a single plate for both of us. It was smaller than the first. It was a very unusual dish. Ice cream and prawns. Although thr food had a nice flavor, the prawns were raw. Inedible. At this point I told the server we wouldn't be staying for the remaining service. The filth itself was enough to warrant leaving. The laziness and short cuts, to make individual plates for each customer paying for the tasting menu, is un-fathomable. Also the preparation of the food was sub par. We simply couldn't eat the second plate as it was severely undercooked. The only positive was the way the waiter dealt with us. I felt bad pointing out why we were leaving and I could tell he felt bad too. I will not return to Hanks again. Value <1/10 If ur wondering about the cleanliness. Examine pictures closely of others reviews. Look at the bottles. Look at the ledges.
A great food adventure, very creative unique and inspired dishes, very expensive. It is worth a visit to experience high level food creations. Not all work, but worth it for the dishes that succeed they can be amazing! Unique sauces that could be great to soak up with some baguette not provided, so most of the sauce goes back to the kitchen, unless you use your fingers or lick the plates. The concept is great but in need to smooth out some bumps. Good service, downtown. Great effort, worth a try.
Lots of nice things to say about this place. Love the concept, service was great, and each thing we ate was at least fine. The dessert paired with an awesome cocktail was a great finish to the tasting menu. Loved all the drink pairings. Portions are hearty. But 4 of our 6 tasting menu rounds were pork dishes. One of them had two different types of pork so dinner was a five pork feast. All the pork dishes were quite salty too, with a ham in particular reminding me of an old Kids in the Hall skit. There was some variety in the tasting menu rounds being served ie - the couple next to us got steak for #5 and we got more pork, so maybe we just came up unlucky. Altogether it was a bit of a let down and especially relative to the price point.
Did a quick search for a place to dine on our first night of our weekend in Victoria. Hanks is small 18 seats so better for 2 or maybe 4 people. Most seats are at the bar where we watched the chef prepare the very tasty and unique meals. Get wine list, by the glass. Would highly recommend this cozy high quality food and service spot.
Absolutely phenomenal food can be found right here. My girlfriend and I had the tasting menu $65/pp and were beyond satisfied. There was an optional drink pairing but we opted against it. The service from was personal and warm despite only having two employees who prep, cook, serve, and clean themselves. From in-house cured duck and lamb haggis, to gnocchi with Lion’s Mane mushrooms and halibut cheek, everything was farm to table, freshly caught that day, or made in-house. Come with an appetite, or just order a la carte and you won’t be disappointed!
Although Hank’s has been around for a while, I’ve never thought to go there until recently. For my son’s birthday, who happened to be a red seal chef himself, I thought it would be a unique experience to sit at the counter to watch as the chef prepared our meal. When we got there, we were greeted and seated and began to peruse the menu. After admiring the selection of entrees, all made from locally sourced products from nearby farms, we opted for the sampler menu. For $65 per person we were treated to a smaller potion of 6 of the items from the menu. For an additional $50 per person we could have had wine pairings but decided to enjoy a couple of pints of local micro brews on tap. Our courses included a duck carpaccio with melons and goat cheese, an amazing puttanesca dish that was accented with herring and garlic chips, braised beef ravioli, potato and cheese gnocchi with fresh crab and corn, a molè risotto, and a potato dish to finish that was decadent and delicious! Every dish was presented by the staff with a description of the ingredients used, and where they were sourced. This was a great meal that allowed my son and I to enjoy the ambience, converse with the staff as they prepared the food, and savor each dish. This was an evening of fine food and savoring each plate that was presented. Fair warning.. the entire meal took just over 2 hours so this is not recommended for those looking to grab a quick bite. Also, seating is limited so making a reservation is a must.
