I come there usually with a friend for a drink and I haven't tried yet the restaurant but the cocktails are amazing. A really good Bloody Mary!

They definitely know their meats! The taste of the steaks is superb, they cook them perfectly and have great sides! Great starters too but not so great desserts. Not cheap but worth if you want good (excellent) meat!

As a regular to this restaurant we have to recommend it to everybody. The Roasts on a Sunday are excellent, and after trying several other supposedly brilliant London restaurants, none come close to The Hawksmoor (except perhaps the steaks in Buen Ayre). Gorgeous gravy, crispy potatoes and an excellent Wine list/ beers/ cocktails ! The cornflake Milkshake/ Ice Cream is... More

We have just returned from a Bank Holiday visit to our Goddaughters in London. During our stay we were treated to a meal at this resturant as my Husband celebrated a Birthday. He chose fillet steak, creamed spinach, mash and gravy. Steak was cooked to ordered medium rare and that is exactly what he got, on his plate with his... More

I can't recommend the Hawksmoor Spitalfields highly enough - service and food where both excellent and the steak surpassed any other I have eaten in London. We had a wonderful dinner for my fiances birthday. It wasn't cheap but it was worth every penny - we will certainly be returning.

I headed here with family for a birthday visit last month. Everything was pretty much as I had expected and been told: some of the best steak you'll ever taste, anywhere. Superb. But good things don't come cheap.

Friends had wanted to go to this restaurant for ages, and I have to say I was hugely disappointed, Poor, surly service, where the waiter made it feel like he was doing us a favour by serving us. 3 steaks went back as they were improperly prepared, so a disjointed meal, not particularly hot, or tasty, and expensive.....

Everything about this place is amazing, the food, the service, the restaurant just everything. The bar staff were friendly, funny and polite, the table waiters/waitresses were brilliant. The food couldn't have been better, honestly it couldn't have. We didn't feel rushed at all, we wasn't constantly bothered for our orders and nothing was too much hassle. The included 12.5% service... More

I went to Hawksmoor on 27/04 and it was one of the best meals out that I've had in a while. Whilst the bill was hefty (pre dinner and post dinner cocktails etc), the service was faultless and food delicious. Splitting hairs here, the buttered greens as a side was just cabbage - I was expecting a selection, but if... More
