Having met Cyrus and Pervin on the Good Food cruise last year we decided to visit their restaurant and sample their food. What a wonderful experience, fantastic food and drink with excellent service from good staff. Previn runs the front of house and is a great host making sure all customers are well looked after, while Cyrus runs a kitchen that produces the most amazing food. Already booked our next visit for February.

With the pleasure of dining at Hawksmoor Wood Wharf to celebrate a special birthday, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The porterhouse was cooked to absolute perfection—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The side dishes complemented the steak beautifully, each one thoughtfully prepared with attention to detail. The desserts were a highlight as well, particularly the indulgent chocolate plate that arrived with a candle, a lovely touch to make the evening even more memorable. Not only was the food outstanding, but the service was impeccable. The staff went above and beyond to make the celebration feel truly special, showing genuine care and attention to every detail. Hawksmoor Wood Wharf really knows how to deliver a top-notch dining experience, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking to enjoy great food in a welcoming, professional setting.

Exquisite! The table service was slightly rushed in the beginning (we prefer the dining vice scarfing our faces like Neanderthals experience). When that was expressed, the service swiftly changed to our liking and we had a lovely time! The food was impeccably curated and masterfully paired by the sommelier.

Galvin offers everything we want from a fine dining experience! We first dined at Galvin in 2017 and are there at least twice a year, I can honestly say the food gets better every visit! The staff are polite and attentive, and the Head Sommelier Rudina is just amazing. She makes beautiful recommendations based on your budget. She is super friendly too, a wonderful person.

Great tasting food, restaurant room a bit hot and stuffy but was in the middle of summer! Service a tad slow. Portions on the smaller size.
