If you're on the fence of whether to try Yakiniku or not, you will not regret taking the plunge. This restuarant has amazingly helpful staff that did not waiver at my crazy guests demanding requests and did not make us feel unwelcome when we clearly stayed past their ordinary closing time. The food was amazing and my gosh Matcha Flavoured Tiramisu?!? Outterworldly good!

Absolutely fantastic on every count. The service, the atmosphere, and importantly, the food. Could not fault it at all. Wanted a great meaty restaurant to take my vegetable hating husband to on his birthday. Someone at work had recommended Blacklock so I booked it. We’ve been to Hawksmoor a few times and loved it, so our expectations were high and it did not disappoint. Staff were amazing from the moment we arrived. Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Attentive to exactly the right level. Food was sensational. We had the Prime Rib (700g) and a bacon chop, plus fries. So good. Deserts were also lovely- bread and butter pudding and 698142 cheese cake both fabulous. We then had a tipple at the bar on the way out. All excellent and very reasonably priced. We will definitely be back.

The room was too loud. Maybe you could consider acoustic panels on the walls or the ceiling to make the experience more enjoyable
