Hawksmoor

Food was great but our server was terrible. Had to get up and call the bartender to get another drink after attempting to get his attention for 15 minutes. Overall just looked like he couldn't care less. Shame. First time here and don't plan on coming back.

yes ok, i get the hype! i mean is it some brand new steak experience? no. but it is very solid and very delicious? absolutely.

we did make a sunday reservation, but we did it for dinner, so we missed out on the sunday roast (seems they have on menu on sundays until they sell out, which is usually mid-day or so). we got the yorkshire and potted bacon to start, and that was nice, i wish they gave more yokshire pudding actually! and the gravy -- i wanted to drink the gravy that came with the dish and drizzle it over everything! the steaks were cooked perfectly. but the biggest surprise were how good the sides were! the triple cooked chips were pale but actually so flavorful and crispy -- soft on the inside. the greens were so well seasoned! the sticky toffee pudding was, as promised, incredible. i really enjoyed the quenelle of clotted cream on top, that gave such a smooth creamy finish to the fish.

the restaurant is quite large in this location and tables were spaced nicely. the dark, broody atmosphere is the perfect ambience for a stately steakhouse. service was great and we were never left wanting.

It is probably the worst dining experience I've had in memory. Reading the reviews foreshadowed the woes when it comes to service. The restaurant was half capacity, and they sat us at the worst possible location. We asked to be moved, which changed the tone for the next 45 minutes. Upon sitting at the new table, the waiter seemed to take his time to greet us intentionally. After 15 minutes, he came back to take our drink order. We attempted to put starters in but were told we had to place the entire order at one time. This is the absolute first that I've heard of this. From Mexico to Scandinavia. I've never been told that before.

So we waited another 20 minutes to put our order in. Only to be told they were out of the item. The delivery from the server was rude as well. He did an eye roll and basically walked away like we wasted his time. The menu does warn of this, but you think they'd mention this when you sit down. Honestly, nothing else looked good on the dinner menu. So we asked for the check. At this moment, the kind server realized we were picking up what he was putting down.

I've gone to restaurants where the service wasn't intentionally bad. I've gone to restaurants where they were overbooked or understaffed. This is the first time I feel they deliberately tried to be rude.

Super disappointed in this spot. Pretentious, under designed, super loud and spotty service make this a definite, no-go even in spite of decent food.

Server couldn't remember who ordered what, forgotten items, delayed items, random upsell, quantity mistakes. Literally expect better service at the cheesecake factory.

Steak and monkfish were really nice - eggs were overdone way too many onions on basically everything. Smoked salmon was super boring. Ugh.

Then, after the fact, realized they had put a 12.5% "optional" service charge, but just punched in the total with that in anyway. No no and more no. No way was this place was worth £100 a person.

If you're looking for a fancier dinner in London before a show, this was a great spot! We shared the mussels and beef carpaccio, both were delicious! They had a tasty variety of cocktails as well. We shared the steak for two, it was cooked perfectly! We also shared the Caesar salad, spinach and British vegetables. Overall, a very tasty dinner!

The food is good my family and I enjoyed it. The ambiance is nice. I like how they have a space for families. The service could have been better. The waiter was not very attentive. It wasn't very busy when my family and I came in but it took a long while for him to come back to take our order and he never checked on us while eating to make sure everything was ok.

Fire Firiiiiaaa - in my Bootsy Collin's voice.

Pricy but worth the experience and flavor of the meal.

Make reservations, show up on time and enjoy the privilage

I'm sorry it's taken me 2 weeks to write this review...
We visited on March 26 for Sunday Roast
I don't think I can say enough good things about my experience. The hostess was so sweet and welcoming and wished me Happy Birthday. We were shown to our table right away and our waiter was so charming! Everything on our plates was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection! The beef was tender and so flavorful, the roast potatoes are so crispy on the outside but light and fluffy inside. My first time trying Yorkshire pudding was a lovely surprise!! Amazing!! Even the cabbage and carrots were scrumptious!! To top it all off, sticky toffee pudding was the perfect ending! Such a beautiful, relaxing environment - you're able to take your time, enjoy your meal and never feel rushed...
Thank you all for making my first trip to London and my birthday such a wonderful experience!!

This review is for the sticky toffee pudding.

1. I came here strictly for dessert and wow am I blown away.
2. I walked in after my dinner without a reservation and was told I may have to sit at the bar, which would've been perfect as a solo diner, but I was seated in the dining room, which was super nice and a cherry on top. The interior feels luxurious and I love the amount of green in the space. Also the staircase is beautiful.
3. Ordered the sticky toffee pudding and had to order the homemade Rolos for takeaway.
4. The sticky toffee pudding came out hot and steaming. The clotted cream looked so beautiful on top of the pudding. The perfect spoonful is pudding, cream, and lots and lots of toffee sauce. This dessert was so delicious, like you'll want to lick the plate.
5. One bite was all I needed to understand sticky toffee pudding. And I still dream about that toffee sauce!

One steak came a little undercooked to the table, but they quickly fixed that and brought an extra side. We also had the Mac and cheese and mash and gravy.

As someone traveling to London for the first time, of course I had to indulge in a classic sticky toffee pudding. Glad to say Hawksmoor did not disappoint - the pudding was filling and sweet with the toffee syrup working the show. Next time I come to London, I will be coming back to taste for more!
