    The food and ambiance was over the top. Our meals were scrumptious! Each bite was a true pleasure. Can’t wait to return! The bathrooms were a bit of a disaster. Too many people without a pickup service. I mentioned it to the gentleman who was confirming guest reservations but he didn’t really care. Wine prices were a little ridiculous. But the meals and decor were 5 star! Thank you!!!

    We have repeatedly patronized Hawksmoor NYC. Most recently, our family celebrated Thanksgiving at Hawksmoor NYC. Most of us chose the $75 holiday special Prime Rib dinner , with roasted potatoes, carrots and garlic and Yorkshire pudding. Every element of the meal was delicious, with splendid presentation. Our server was Andrea. She is kind and competent. She, along with the previous team members, is deeply familiar with the ingredients and preparation techniques of the menu items.

    Fabulous experience & Excellent service/ambience. From the moment we got seated, all staff and Sophia specifically made us feel very welcome and ensured we understood the vegetarian variations of the delicacies. Absolutely loved the truffle pizza and the tiramisu and had to order a second one before the night got over. Will definitely recommend and revisit ourselves.
