Best Wineries in Highbury/Islington

Great Georgian place with more of a bar vibe than a traditional restaurant. Two starters, two mains, one dessert and a bottle of amber wine was £100 so great value. Excellent service as well

Sure! Here’s a polished version of your review for OpenTable: Outstanding Experience at Hawksmoor Guildhall From start to finish, our experience at Hawksmoor Guildhall was exceptional. My best friend and I arrived at 5 PM and were seated in a lovely spot in the restaurant. The service was impeccable throughout, with the staff being attentive yet unobtrusive. We both ordered steak, which was cooked to absolute perfection. The quality of the food, combined with the warm and welcoming atmosphere, made for a truly memorable evening. Although we slightly exceeded our two-hour seating, our server was incredibly accommodating and kindly offered us a spot in the bar so we could continue enjoying our evening without interruption. Hawksmoor never disappoints—whether at Guildhall or any of their locations, they consistently deliver outstanding service, a beautiful setting, and some of the best steaks in the business. Highly recommend!

The food was amazing, couldn’t fault it, and the wine was great. Service was brilliant too, the only snag for us was the noise, given it’s a small place voices naturally carry so the music could do with being a bit quieter to make it easier to hear each other

Absolutely delicious Basque food - such a treat to find in London. The wild mushrooms dish is a great dupe of the Ganbara dish in San Sebastian. The quail was beautiful, and I loved the flavours of the brown crab risotto but the risotto grains were slightly underdone. And definitely get the pain perdu, i'm not much of a sweets person but this blew my mind. Great dish. Beautiful, buzzy place to sit with some nice wine and a gilda and have a catch up, which is exactly what we did! Staff are lovely and super knowledgeable.

Great experience, lovely staff and super service all around.
