My wife and I were visiting London from Manila, and our friend from Singapore - an ex-Londoner - highly recommended we set aside time to try out the best steak at either a Hawksmoor or a competitor chop house. I'm glad we went for the former as we had a stellar lunch experience on our last day before flying out. The menus were an experience unto their own, which my wife and I enjoyed going through. The Sour Cherry Negroni was a good start to our dining experience. Roasted Scallops: fresh, tasty, and arguably the biggest scallops we've had. Rib-eye (350g): an excellent cut, and the only thing we regret was not getting the 450g option. We had this with Mash & Gravy and Creamed Spinach which were excellent too. (Don't forget to ask the waitstaff for wine pairings.) We'll definitely visit a Hawskmoor again the next time we're in London.

Food was excellent especially starters and steak. One recommendation - on the Sunday roast please include something fresh or pickled. It all was very rich and it could have done with something to cut through. Fantastic experience though and will be back!
