    My parents were celebrating their 60th anniversary on Valentine's Day and the Hawksmoor Team made it memorable. The vibe, energy and experience for me is as important as the food and the team are central to this. They were incredibly attentive, thoughtful and helpful which added so much to the experience. And of course the food was 11/10 Keep doing what you're doing Team Hawksmoor - the Dublin restaurant scene is better for it! Gavin

    Amazing food and a delicious flavor. Ordered a suggestion from the waiters Amanda for my main and I really loved. Service was excellent, time to time coming to the table and asking how was everything and checking the wine on the glass. Even thought the staff was busy by herself, but yet she did a great service. Complements to the chef(s). 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I would really recommend and come back for sure.
