Hawksmoor Seven Dials in City of London, Westminster

Went for an bday meal with my mate today 20/12/24. Amazing meal. Our waiter was brilliant. Wish I’d got his name. very funny and amazing service the food was quality! Worth every penny!

Brilliant night, a lovely treat before Xmas! The service at Hawksmoor is always impeccable. A huge thank you to Paul our Dutch ( 😉) waiter who made our night really fun! Merry Christmas

Whilst I would love to say I had an outstanding experience, sadly that was not the case. The food was beautiful and the flavours were perfectly balanced. However, the experience was soured by the staffs attitude, they were rude and distasteful, making myself and my family feel rather uncomfortable. It is a shame because the food was 10/10.

Make a reservation, it's very busy. We especially appreciated the kindness of one of the waiters. Excellent Chateaubriand beef.

Cool place, good food and lovely staff. Unfortunately I got food poisoning from the scallops. I couldn’t take my flight I had to book an extra hotel for 2 nights and I missed some appointments. Not what you are expecting from places like this.

It's OK. But we were kept waiting 30 mins for a table despite having booked, then another 40 minutes for the food. Rump steak was overcooked. The acoustics are awful due to the brick ceilings, so don't expect easy conversations across a busy table

Generally considered our favourite Hawksmoor, we've been here so many times we've lost count. Try the Chateaubriand medium rare, one of the best texture and flavoursome steaks in London, and we've tried many.

Great meal, pleasant surroundings with my fave people, but the bill was pretty extortionate tbh (£60 service charge, really!?!?)

Best roast dinner in London , have visited on a number of occasion’s and always enjoyed the food

Food and atmosphere was really good. Service was ok but would have expected better. Food also took a long time to be bought out based on it not being overly busy

My husband had a fantastic birthday treat, he loved everything from the cocktail before to the happy birthday dessert. I had the monkfish and would really recommend too.

Great food, as always. Waiting staff were friendly but the door staff were cold. Made it a little uncomfortable walking in. Unfortunately I won’t be going back, the price just isn’t worth it. £40+ for a steak. £6.50 for a side (just one side) and I think the steak sauce was £3.50 or £4. So what’s that, roughly £60 for a steak, before drinks. I can go to Lidl, buy steaks that are around 10/20% worse & cook it with any sauce I fancy, plus any sides for less than £15. On a side note, there were some people in there with young kids, more money than sense. The kids didn’t even look like they wanted to be there.

Great buzzing restaurant in good location. Superb food including excellent steaks served by friendly efficient staff.

All essy, staff did their upmost and were great. A shame it all felt quite rushed m.

Great food, drinks and atmosphere. Would recommend,

The steak was divine and atmosphere buzzy - it was the perfect venue for my son’s birthday meal. Thank you for making it specual.

Had a great meal at Hawksmoor Seven Dials. The steak was excellent, and while the peppercorn sauce was a bit heavy on the Dijon, it was still tasty. Good selection of red wines by the glass. Our waitress, India, was lovely—friendly and attentive, she really made the evening enjoyable!

Cocktails were great. The cuts were not up to expectations sadly. This is the second time I visit Hawksmoor but both occasions the meat was overcooked and dry. Spaces were packed and no hanger for jackets.

This was a very mixed experience. Last time the manager came and spoke to us to recognise our loyalty The early part was good, food excellent as alwaysservice pretty good. We said that instead of dessert we would have cocktails in bar. The waiter said he would set us up and transfer the bill. He they came back and said he could not. We settledthe bill and waiter took us over to the bar, but didn’t hand us over. As a result we sat up at the bar, got ignored by everyone behind the bar . The final straw came when one of the barmen put a container of waste liquid (slop)right in front of my dining companion This ruined the mood and ambience we had just spent £300 in restaurant Eventually a bar waiter approached and asked if he could help, we asked for cocktail menu but then he went and chatted to other guests. At this point I decided to leave , he looked across but didn’t try and stop us When we collected our coats we weren’t thanked or asked if we had a good time,which normally happens I’ve been loyal to this Hawksmoor but if I’m honest can’t see me coming back for awhile We enjoyed cocktails elsewhere

Great place.Good service and food. VERY EXPENSIVE AND OVERPRICED

Perfectly cooked steak and sides - good wine list

He a delightful evening. The food and service were amazing. I strongly suggest you book and enjoy!

The food was average/fine, but unfortunately, the sound level was absolutely unbearable. It was so loud that we were all struggling to understand each other, especially those seated across from one another at our table of four. The table we were given was right next to the kitchen, making it even less relaxing as staff were constantly running by. Our main waitress was very nice; however, the other staff were so-so. The person at the main entrance greeted us rather coldly upon arrival, the waitress who brought our digestif just appeared at our table, semi-slammed the drinks down, and left again without a word, and twice there was confusion with food being brought to our table that wasn’t ours. Having been to Hawksmoor Air Street several times before, and being used to the dignified feel of that restaurant, I was very, VERY disappointed by my first visit to the Seven Dials branch. The atmosphere very much resembled sitting in a shopping mall food court (loud, cramped, uncomfortable and chaotic)—with dimmed lights. I can’t imagine coming back again and definitely wouldn’t recommend it to anyone seeking an upscale dining experience.

Food, service and ambience all top class. Would highly recommend.

3rd time here, and it's just so so good. Love the steak, cooked to perfection! Bone marrow was divine. Both the fries and chips were tasty! The oysters were also so good! The only downside, if any, was the lightning. Otherwise, 10's across the board!

Service was very good - the staff kept constantly refilling our water and wine. They were very attentive. Steak was good - tasty! Chips and garlic mushrooms were very good!

Great service and today had the express menu that was great value for money .Well worth a visit.

From the moment you enter it is very enjoyable. One the best steak restaurant in London. The best quality steak and cooked to perfection. It has a good wine list but if preferred some good beers and cocktails. Waiters are friendly and very helpful which makes the whole occasion a great experience. Don’t forget if booking for a Monday you can ask about taking your own wine 🍷 and pay only £5 a great way to really enjoy yourselves. December 22, Its always a good test of a restaurant, l continue to visit Hawksmoor and again a superb time, great food,friendly staff and super service.

Another fantastic meal - I always know that whenever I go I’ll have great food, wine and service and yet again Hawksmoor delivered, just wish I could go back more often! Thanks again for a great evening

As always, it was very good experience. The most important aspect is the consistency of each dish across different visits, and by no doubt, they deliver.

We went there for the Sunday Roast and although I'm not a meat fan, it is possible to order a la carte. I had the grilled monkfish and it was excellent! My companion had the classic Sunday Roast and enjoyed it! Fast service, typical and rustic decor. Very generous portions.

Amazing food I must say, nice selection of wine. Expensive yes, but nowadays if you want quality you must pay a price!

Absolute perfection. Staff are amazing as is the food. We always go to Seven Dials and enjoy the buzzy atmosphere

Service nor food up to usual standards today. Hawksmoor is usually a solid, reliable venue but today the food was below par and the service lacking the usual attentiveness and civility

Top steaks. Good chateaubriand, Unfortunately very overpriced!

I visited this place because my favourite Korean celebrity was here a few years ago. Genuinely good food and equally great service. The steak was just 🤌, the lobster was decent (not as incredible as everything else, to be honest) and the sticky toffee pudding & the chocolate waffle were fantastic. Pricey, surely, but justifiably so given what they offer. Will definitely visit again when I'm back in London.

Great food, great atmosphere. The cocktails were also great.

Absolutely packed & loud. Way too many bookings. Delay for table. Delay for service. They forgot it was Dads 75th - despite my emailing. Food average. Disappointing

You must take Brussels sprouts with bacon & chestnuts

Spectacular steak. Amazing all round. Dig the garlic mushrooms. We had 2 T-Bones between 2 adults and 2 teens. Highly recommend.

Excellent food as always and very friendly and attentive but on this occasion very disappointed with the greeter when we first arrived. Not very friendly at all. We all had raincoats on due to the weather which we have always taken off upstairs but in a rather abrupt way we were told there was another place downstairs. Definitely not the best first impressions. Thankfully once seated everything perfect.

Come here regularly and it always impresses! The steak quality and taste is just perfect and the sides are to die for. Although the prices seem to have risen a bit since the last visit it still represents good value and I don’t mind paying a bit more when the overall experience is so good.

Fantastic moly and Ryan. Unforgettable, best cocktails ever!!! Thanks

Loved everything about it. If I lived in London, I would be there often.

Went to Hawksmoor recently, and honestly, it was such a letdown. The cuts weren’t what we expected, and everything was seriously overcooked. For how EXPENSIVE it was, it just didn’t live up to the hype. Do not bother.

I've tried many steaks in London, from cheap Flat Iron to Steak Company, but this was the most delicious steak. As for the price, if you want to taste this high-quality meat in this high-end atmosphere, you have to pay twice as much in Gangnam or Itaewon in Korea. I tried the rib eye sirloin sirloin (medium) and it was very delicious. The wine is Malbec by the glass.

Excellent food and service outweighed by the incessant and absurdly elevated noise level making it impossible to have a normal conversation with anyone at the same small table. Decibel meter at times reached 110-120 db

Would of preferred to be seated near the entrance 🤔. But the food was on point. 10/10

Wonderful staff as ever at Hawksmoor - thank you for looking after us so well

A great atmosphere and delicious food along with fantastic service - the only thing is it is a little loud, making conversation difficult sometimes.

Came to have a lunch with friends, Nuria and Fran were our waiters they were exceptional! Great knowledge about the menu and wines and amazing service. Will definitely be back!

Staff were friendly and the food is great, portions are smaller than expected for the price, it was too noisy and the staff took our food away without asking us if we were finished which we weren’t. Not worth it for the price

I had an exceptional dining experience. The ambiance was inviting and cozy vibe. The food was fantastic. Nuria our waitress was exceptionally amazing making sure we felt well taken care of throughout our meal.

Me and my wife enjoyed our meal. The cocktails were as delicious as the Sunday Roast dinner. Will come Back again next time we are in London.

We visited with friends who recommended. The food was great, it just wasn’t for us. Great place though!

Amazing food, great service and great atmosphere. My son who loves his steaks said the fillet tail was the best steak hes ever had. Excellent thank you

Fantastic meal with friends - great food, great atmosphere and great service.

Lovely service and fantastic quality steak and wine

My only regret is that my stomach was too small to eat more!! Everything was perfect

Everything from starts to finish was excellent definitely will be returning

Food was lovely as always. Dinner was ruined by a noisy group beside us and very poor service unfortunately. We’d finished our mains 40 minutes before our waitress cleared our plates. Multiple times items were forgotten from mains and coffees at the end. A disappointing expierence for a birthday celebration.

We have been before food and service very good as always. Will be back next year.

Our annual family get together and year after year Hawksmoor does not disappoint. The food is always of exceptional standard as is the service. A relaxing way to spend a few hours catching up with family over excellent food and drink.

Stopped in for dessert, specifically sticky toffee pudding. We started out with cocktails, a Sour cherry Negroni and Gingerbread Man. Both were excellent. Next up the Sticky Toffee Pudding. One of the best desserts I have had, so rich and moist and the clotted cream was perfect to cut richness of the pudding. Highly recommend!

The food was excellent, and the atmosphere and service were also great. The downside was the high noise level in the venue.

In addition to the normal criteria of food, service.ambience we can also add “response in a crisis”. For this we give the team 11 out of 10 for being phenomenally supportive when one of our dinner party suffered a seizure. Their response with an on site first aider coupled with calling emergency services and the way they managed the whole situation with calm urgency and empathy to all concerned was both impressive and appreciated.

As always a great restaurant with outstanding food and service. My only critique is that yesterday the restaurant was deafeningly noisy to even manage to have a conversation with the people at your own table without having to shout at each other to be heard… adding even more to the existing noise.

Chateaubriand was fabulous. Service was good until it wasn't when we were moved to the noisy bar after 1.5hrs to free space for the next diners.

Mo our server was simply amazing. Very knowledgable. Very friendly. Perfect balance of attentive but not overbearing.

We had a 7p reservation, but I knew my 4 jet lagged kids were never going to make it till 7p, so we stopped by the restaurant at 6p to see if they could get us in, if not we were just going to cancel. The hostesses were phenomenal! They called downstairs to see if they could get us in and they ended up getting us a table, I was so thankful. The staff was so kind to my 4 kids between the ages of 6-13, even though it's an upscale restaurant, I never felt like a burden or unwanted there because I had kids with me. Now onto the most important part...the food. The steak is so tender you can practically cut it with a fork, my son got the monkfish and loved it. I cannot say enough good things about the food, just wonderful and while pricey, worth every penny. If you are looking for a quiet place, this may not be the place for you as it is quiet loud downstairs, but that doesn't bother us. I am so glad we tried the Hawksmoor and will definitely be back the next time we are in London.

I’m a Hawksmoor fan and a regular whenever I’m in London. Seven Dials never disappoints in any way. I dined pre-theartre at 5:30. Tonight, a senior staff member came to my table - ‘Hi, good to see you back with us again’. The food is always top notch, but Paul’s visit made the evening memorable, particularly as I was alone. See you guys next time Cheers Paul

The woman at the reception is very rude and never smiles, she is very bad and I don't know how she was put in this job, she is the worst person I have ever seen in London.

Amazing food, amazing service! This is my favourite Hawksmoor, great setting ☺️

First time at the Hawksmoor aseven Dials resturant in London food was delicious excellent service would recommend this resturant

Called to make a reservation and was given a tentative hold for a corporate event with 3 weeks notice. Was told I’d be contacted to confirm within 48 hours. We went through the menu options. Not only did they not call me back in over a week but when I called to check in there was no available times. Do not recommend.

Great food. Carnivore heaven. Service and ambience terrific as well.

A fantastic high quality Sunday roast with impeccable service. I was informed they do 600 lunches and 300 meals in the evening (quite easy to believe when you see how popular it is!) so it is impressive how much of a well oiled machine the service and quality is

Best steak I have had and brilliant service. Been there twice so far....

Wow, what can I say, this place is a MUST!! Not only is the Sunday roasts phenomenal, the service is amazing, very attentive, and made you feel so welcome, loved every minute 😀

Great food and friendly professional service. Attentive but not overlo so. Went for my birthday and they made it feel like a special occasion.

Great service, knowledge on recommendations of food, steak that melted in mouth

Amazing staff, friendly and helpful. Amazing food one our favourite places to eat - thank you

Good food with wide range of meats to choose from with varying sizes offered. Busy location which made for a noisy dinner. Not suitable for a quiet discussion or romantic setting.

I was disappointed by the grilled bone marrow, taste was too plain. I like oily taste but it had just it, nothing else. The beef steak and the dessert were not bad but nothing was special. It’s very loud in the restaurant.

Always a great experience from the moment you walk in everyone so helpful & friendly. Food was amazing with first class service. Thank you.

Fantastic service. Vi got a table in The main restaurant.

This was a fun spot with super friendly waiters, great steak and immaculate old fashioned’s 😁

Lovely food; great service, They did mix up the preferences of the steaks but it was a large table, overall great time

Chateaubriand for 2 was amazing, really good value and a great steak

Good ribeye, great portion of side. Tasty and delicious. Love the win selection and service.

Came on a reservation on a weeknight and it was good I did. The place was full. I got led into the table right in the middle of the main room, which didn't look bad for being underground but the room was very noisy (room also didn't have anything to dampen noise). My friend checked and it was at 85-90db for the whole time. I feel bad for the waiters who are likely to get hearing problems from working in such a loud place. I personally quite liked the rib eye which was not tough at all though my companion more used to steak found it mid. I was not a big fan of the bone marrow sauce but casually liked maple bacon. Fries were decent but nothing special (though ordered separately). I didn't care much to drink alcohol on the day (particularly supermarket bottles of beer) though I couldn't find a soft drinks menu so ended up having a glass of wine. This probably contributed to the bill totalling 200 GBP for a good food and a bit of drink for two though in a loud and busy atmosphere. I probably won't be back but it's not a bad place.

A great Sunday roast! Cool atmosphere! The food was fantastic…the potatoes and gravy were outstanding!

Great food, service quite slow - took over 20 mins of trying to get the bill before we could pay.

Food is great quality and my partner has a few allergies. The restaurant took care to check everything very thoroughly and make sure she was well catered for.

First visit to this restaurant and didn’t disappoint. The roast was amazing. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.

Excellent choice of menu items. Personable, genuinely friendly service. Outstanding food quality. Can’t fault this restaurant. Was a very special first visit. Hopefully, the first of many to come.

Steak, steak and more steak, cooked to perfection!

We didn’t hate it but it didn’t meet our expectations. We mentioned in the reservation that it was our anniversary and yet we got a bad table next to the kitchen and the waiters’/waitresses’ area so we kept hearing an alarm clock and kitchen noises all night. The quality of the mean was fine, but not amazing. Chewy on the edges and slightly overcooked. The chateaubriend was not worth £75. Sides were good, especially the mash and gravy and our drinks weee delicious. The best thing by far was the service. Kind, professional and generally lovely.

Wine knowledge can improve. Menu is lacking wine from England.
