Reviews Hazel

Small eatery with homemade food, tucked away in the heart of Occidental. A quick breakdown of my Hazel experience: -The food...amazing! Best pork schnitzel and shishito peppers I've ever had. -The staff...also amazing! Our server was super friendly and took the time to walk is through the menu. -The atmosphere...second to none! I highly recommend Hazel, and be sure to make a reservation.

I've been here twice now this place is fabulous. wood fire oven Pizzas are delicious. Chicken dish Yes to die for. Fish stew Super flavourful. Pot de creme desert yummy. We had a very fun and attentive Waitress. My 3rd visit was not as good The pizza was watery in the middle The dough never rose in the middle It was soggy, They made it twice the same way. It was a Sunday And they way overbook With not enough Waitress All the tables were shoved close it Was extremely loud and not a relaxing dinner. I think the owner was trying to squeeze Every dime out of the night. If this was my first impression of this restaurant I would never go back. Several workers behind the counter were just standing around while the waitresses were running at full speed. I hope the owner reads this and makes some Changes definitely needs to work on his dough for the pizza. It is not cooked properly in the center 3rd time I've had it this way. Drop it on a hot pizza pan with some oil if you have to.

Do yourself a favor and make a reservation at this lovely restaurant. Hazel is the place to dine in the Bohemian Highway area - it’s such a treat. Everyone from host to chef (we sat at the chef’s table) was very kind, welcoming, and highly professional. Ezekiel, our waiter, was the best - thank you very much. We got to see chef in action creating magic in the kitchen and wow - every dish he brought out was a masterpiece. We ordered roasted chicken and crab platter - everything was fresh, delicious, and amazing. The dessert looked so tempting, but we didn’t have enough room (hazelnut sundae looked soo good).

J and M have made an amazing thing with Hazel. The pies! and everything else. You definitely won't walk away hungry. Can't say enough, I've had everything on the menu, I'm just happy every time I leave.

this is exactly what you’d hope for: friendly staff, small but well balanced menu, intimate seating, incredible food. it’s clear they’re doing something very right, as evidenced by the crowds (which they manage well). the pizza is why people come, and every one of them - we had three - were delicious. egg and sausage was a standout but pepperoni was also great. we also had the pork ribs starter, and they are some of the best ribs i’ve ever had. both desserts were great, but the blueberry crisp was sublime. all in all, a huge fan. would recommend to anyone in the area, and would say it’s worth the drive if you’re within an hour of it. for context, the four of us had three starters, three pizzas, two desserts and multiple rounds of beers and it was under $200.
