   We had an absolutely gorgeous meal at Hawksmoor. The venue is so stunning you can hardley believe its a pub and the service and food are way way better than you would expect. We had the Sunday roast, which exceeded expectations, and the price was very reasonable. I would really recommend this to anyone.

   Lovely birthday treat for myself and my wife. Food was excellent. Service was very attentive and informative. Atmosphere was lovely (apart from the couple of complainers beside us sending food back -that they’d half eaten!) Ambience is gorgeous.

   Hawksmoor has an excellent reputation, but I've had better ribeye steaks in less revered steak houses in Dublin. Setting and staff very nice. Wine was average. Sides very good. Sauce for the steak was very watery. Nice experience, but wouldn't go back.

   Myself and sister visited Hawksmoor Dublin and was very disappointed with the food. Everything was very salty and not very warm. I woke up this morning with a very upset stomach and can only put it down to the food I ate. Very disappointed even though our waiter was very pleasant, the food itself was a major let down and to feel so badly the next day too

   Prime Rib was very tough and a big fat cap. Waitress told us the prime rib was like a rib eye with lots of marbling but it was not what we got. Peppercorn sauce was tasteless and runny. Really wanted to enjoy but won’t return.

    The building is beautiful - great setting. At reception, three people were huddled looking at a computer screen and it took them a moment to notice us. We had a drink in the bar - and the drink/bar area is good but some of the bar staff were talking very loudly to each other which was offputting. The main restaurant is nice - the tables are relatively small and you are close to the next person's table. The waiter was very professional and helpful. The prawn cocktail for a starter was not good - the prawns were chewy - but the waiter rapidly replace it with scallops. As it was a special occasion, we ordered the Chateaubriand. THis should be the most tender of meats - centre cut of the beef tenderloin - but was charred on the outside (it is supposed to be cooked between other cuts) and tough on the inside. We explained this to the waiter who was great - he took it away and the manager appeared at the table to say that she and the chef had tried it and it was not good. We got 2 filets on her recommendation instead. THey were very good. We got 2 free glasses of wine - which was a nice touch. So - nice environment, great waiter and manager, food reasonable, not a luxurious place to eat, value not good. But I would go back!
