Lovely room and attentive friendly service. Food was good, went cold quickly. We had the Sunday roast, excellent beef. Yorkshire pudding was enormous and a bit overdone and cold so not the best - wasn’t super fresh sadly. Puddings were excellent and a good wine list although pricy so scored down on value.

On arrival we were given a lovely warm welcome. I explained I had a voucher on my phone and my battery was about to die 😵💫. They kindly said no problem we will charge your phone so that was great. Food was delicious myself and husband shared the crab on toast and had fillet steak with chips and mash to share . It was all cooked to perfection. Sadly we were so full we couldn’t manage dessert but next time for sure. My only criticism is the wine is very expensive we paid £50 which was one of the cheapest offered. But definitely go back again .

Our waitress was Jemma, to say that the service was outstanding would be an understatement. The food was exactly as we would expect at a Hawksmoor restaurant, perfectly cooked steaks. I’ve given this lunch a five star review except for the restaurant ambiance and that was just because the restaurant was fairly empty, but post covid that has become the norm for the City on a Friday.

We had a family celebration meal which we thoroughly enjoyed. The food was perfect as was the wine and the service was exceptional. The ambience was maybe aimed at businessmen rather than the mixed groups but that was to be expected given the location. In any case we went for the food because my son loves steak and we wasn't disappointed on that front.

The main thing here was the quality of the food, as a meat lover the steaks were amazing cooked perfectly, we had a selection of sides and sauces all of which we enjoyed. Didn't drink as it was the afternoon and had to drive later so can't comment on the options. I would also like to say the service was very good and the staff sociable.

I visited after making a reservation on a Friday evening. There were a lot of seats, but by the time we left, almost all of them were full. We recommend that you make a reservation if possible. All the food we ordered was delicious. I enjoyed it without any regrets. Roasted bones? It was a bit unusually delicious. All the staff were friendly and it had a steakhouse atmosphere, so we had a pleasant meal.

Was very excited to dine at Hawksmore guildhall after having a beautiful experience at Hawksmore Air st. However, we were a little underwhelmed, we ordered the prime rib (we mentioned this at least twice while ordering) to go with the roast for 2 but received the chateuxbriand (not a cut we would usually go for in a roast due to the leanness of the meat) we mentioned to the waiter this as we thought maybe we had received another tables meat, however when they came over it was insinuated the there was a lack of communication, rather than a mistake on their behalf. We were happy to go on and not make a fuss but unfortunately when the bill came we realised the chatuex was £90 with no mention of any compensation which left a sour taste in the mouth. Apart from that the meal was very delicious with the stuffing and cauliflower cheese winning the show but the roast potatoes very under par for a British roast (where was the fluffy inside, the crispy outside and the beef dripping flavours or even some rosemary or garlic wouldn’t go amiss. Overall a slightly above average meal.

So, possibly somewhat on me due to booking for what turned out to be too many but the overall experience just wasn't great at all. Initially we had booked for ten, unfortunately due to an emergency we lost one person, another wasn't feeling great so decided not to come for dinner, these things happen, the restaurant wasn't maxed, and I feel like sometimes these things happen and have always been accomodated. Instead when I asked if we could drop to 8 people I was told by the waiter that no - we booked for ten so we were paying for ten, abruptly with no deviance. I feel this is a pretty unreasonable policy, unless of course the restaurant is maxed, but it was just over half capacity I'd say so not off to a good start. Our waiter then took one drink order (As in for one bottle of wine which was for two people) then diappeared for five minutes before we had to ask if we could order the rest of the drinks, his whole demeanour came across like he didn't care. The lack of attention was a theme throughout the meal, and when spending over £1000 I expect better. Shame really as the service at my local branch in Manchester has always been impeccable.

Service was excellent but food wasn't very good at all. The meat was cold, Yorkshire pudding was cold/stale and there was only 1 roast potato. The cabbage, carrots, celeriac, gravy and sticky toffee pudding was superb. First time at a Hawksmoor and very surprised about the standard of food considering the reputation at price.

The food was excellent, particularly the side dishes. The service was warm and accommodating. However, our experience was slightly marred by the fact that I had requested a birthday dessert in advance for a significant celebration, but it did not arrive, despite my prior confirmation.

Not a lot of experience with steakhouse but... The food was excellent. Starters particularly a highlight - we had the ash beetroot, bone marrow and pot beef with Yorkshire pudding. Steak was melt in your mouth and really well cooked and seasoned. Fries so tasty and the bone marrow was such a good portion size with big bones which was nice. One of the best sticky toffee puddings in London top! Only slightly negative comments r.e food would be the buttered greens only being cabbage? Was slightly disappointing as we would have wanted more variety. My sister also thought the burger was slightly overcooked. Service was excellent, personable, friendly, fun, and most importantly attentive! Thank you Richard for your work! We attended for graduation celebration and were gifted a large pour of Muscat with dessert which was appreciated. Atmosphere - compared to other hawksmoor locations I think this one is not quite as impressive but it is sitll nice and perhaps this is a good thing giving choice of the vibe.

Booked a table just for dessert which was happily accommodated. The staff were all super friendly and warm, which really added to the experience! The sticky toffee pudding was absolutely incredible - one of the best desserts i have ever had. A moist sponge which was not at all stodgy, with the perfect amount of toffee sauce to accommodate it. The flavour was amazing - sweet, as a sticky toffee pudding should be, but not too much. I will be back just for this, but am also keen to try other things on the menu too! Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely! Update Sept 2024: came by Hawksmoor again for my birthday for this glorious dessert. AGAIN, the staff were so so lovely, and the dessert as glorious as ever. The chocolate written happy birthday and candle was truly the icing on the cake - I cannot wait to come back!

A City restaurant so expected it to be full of business friends and those making 'deals'. We were in a side booth and therefore it was better than in the centre tables. The service was friendly and first class. We were not rushed, in fact we were asked at the beginning whether we were in a hurry. The food was better than expected, all in all a great experience.

We were happy with our bone marrows and chateaubriand that was cooked as I pleased. However, I’m utterly disappointed with my guests not having their rib-eye steaks their way: they’ve asked for medium-rare but they’ve got medium ribeye. The wine service was lagging and the atmosphere was too loud to be able to keep conversation going among 4 people. I’d go to Hawksmoor in Shoreditch instead as they have a better fare all along.

Was disappointed overall. 4 people sat to dinner at 730pm on a Saturday, no surf & turf left. Was offered scallops and prawns instead of lobster which was fine but the dishes came out the exact same as the starters (on a seperate plate not with the dinner) and the prawns were a prawn cocktail so cold and not cooked to go on the steak but was still charged full surf & turf price. The steak was very dry, quite tasty but it didn’t look appetising as it come out on a plate on its own and very dry. No flavoured gin or Malibu. Wrong deserts brought out Only 3 beers consumed the rest were soft drinks and the bill was £556 for 4 of us. Which I was expecting but the food didn’t match the cost. Wouldn’t return.

Enjoyed their Sunday Roast with all the trimmings (inc. Yorkshire pud, beef stuffing and cauliflower cheese which were delicious). My one complaint would be that my beef was very fatty and chewy, which is not something I'd expect from Hawksmoor as I've been to another branch and had an excellent cut. To finish I had the sticky toffee pudding, it's a classic and you won't be disappointed.

The dining room feels cramped, it’s incredibly noisy meaning you don’t have any sense of intimacy or can even hear your dining partners. The food is good, but that’s about it, the notable exception being the bone marrow gravy, which is outrageously tasty. The service was adequate but not attentive enough. It was a work thing, had I been paying I would be more annoyed. We only ended up there due to a problem with Goodman’s and I won’t be returning

A visit to Hawkesmoor never fails to impress and the full house whenever you visit is proof of its popularity.

I have to update my review. Whilst Hawksmoor serves great food and we go there at least every 2 months, it kind of feels like there is a big turnover of staff. I remember pre-Covid, we would go to either Guildhall or Spitalfields and we would know all of the staff. Post covid there is a pretty obvious reduction in the quality of service. When talking to our severs, they are open that they are new joiners, so it would be good if the more experienced members of staff would help them out.

We have been looking to have a nice dining experience in London with incredible views and this restaurant completely met our expectations. I had a look on various restaurants in London with view and this one seems to me the most beautiful and price reasonable. We hade been given beneficially located table which allowed us to enjoy the scenery. However all the tables seemed to have opportunity to observe the landscape. I had two meal course for 34£ ( pumpkin soup and chicken cordon bleu) and my partner had Fillet of Beef, Crisp Potato, Spinach, Peppercorn Sauce. All food was delicious and vine was good as well. Steak seemed to be small portion but it was more than enough. Service was polite and welcoming. As it was my birthday staff pleased me with complementary dessert which was so cute from them. We left with full stomach and in a great mood. Definitely would recommend who is looking for outstanding dining experience.
