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.
