We stopped in for Happy Hour at Nightingale and were pleasantly surprised at how good it was. A beautiful room, plenty of ambiance, delicious food and cocktails are the hallmarks of a great date night and Nightingale checks all the boxes.
This was my first time trying bone marrow and it was quite the acquired taste. The menu is diverse and gives you a lot of options if you want to order something fancy or casual. The food menu is seasonally driven and most of their dishes are made to be shared.
Butternut squash pasta is always a season favourite of mine. It was paired with a rich butter sauce and topped with pumpkin seeds. It was a part of their happy hour menu which made it very affordable. You can feel the chef’s creativity with every dish as the flavours burst into your mouth. 
This is the sister restaurant to Chef David Hawksworth’s Hawksworth Restaurant, a high-end dining room at the Rosewood Hotel Georgia. Nightingale allows diners to dine on Chef Hawksworth’s dishes at a more affordable price point. Start with creative salads and veggie dishes before moving on to house-made pasta, pizzas and meaty mains. There are plenty of vegetarian options, too. The cocktail menu serves up a selection of hand-crafted thirst quenchers and if it’s beer or wine you’re after, they’ve got you. If you find yourself downtown Vancouver Nightingale is an absolute must to try.
