    We return to Hawksmoor for celebratory meals over the years because we know the quality of food and service is always superb. We know we won't be disappointed in either. Everything was delicious. Everyone was delighted with everything they ordered. The salad starters were delicious, and the steaks cooked perfectly. The flavours of the food and sides were great, and the pudding and handmade "rolos" were delicious. My 50th birthday meal was made incredibly special by the team. With the thoughtfulness, knowledge, and generosity of the staff, from the bar manager, sommelier to the wait staff. Thank you so much.

    Very professional staff, they look after us very well and made our evening special. The food was tasty and served very quick we definitely will be back again. The only advice I can give is to add more vegetarian and vegan options to the menu.

    Nice decor and ambiance (and spotless loo). The lady we had serving was very nice and efficient. The food was all good. We stuck with classic carpaccio followed by pizza, a seafood pasta and ice cream. So simple choices but all very well presented and delicious. More adventurous items are available of course.
