The food was amazing and everything just came together perfectly. I can't wait to go back for our next visit. The owners definitely know how to run a restaurant!

Our Sunday dinner experience was exceptional, from the appetizers to the starters, the presentation was outstanding and each dish was a culinary delight. This is not a place for a quick meal, but rather a special event. I have dined in many beautiful restaurants, but Hayward's is the best I have ever experienced.

Of course we didn't hesitate and the resulting experience we had was perfect! A...full restaurant, with a great atmosphere and clientele sitting down to eat some incredible food perfectly matched with by wine expert Mark, offering his expert opinion on why each Portuguese wine worked with each dish. A truly memorable evening, just before Christmas with my wife was just fantastic and the set menu including a sensational desert of Mandarin brûlée was just an extra, added, exceptional bonus! Very much looking forward to our next trip to Haywards. It has a lot to live up to but I know through experience that it will just pick up, were we left off. Thank you.
