Hawksmoor Dublin is always a great dining experience. It’s my favorite steak place in Dublin. I like how they have all the daily available great steaks listed on a chalk board by size. The steaks and sides are wonderful. The service is great, and I like the upscale but relaxed environment there. I look forward to my return for another great dinner.

This is a super restaurant. Full marks all round. I had vegetarian option, which was delicious, but would love a vegan option also, especially dessert. The bathroom hygiene & decor was of an outstanding standard, as was the dining areas also. Happy customer 😋

Nice restaurant but menu on website is not what’s served. Didn’t ask how to cook burger and came well done and dry. Seafood Pasta dish was delicious though a little small. Had to search for servers - never came to check on us or ask for drinks or desserts.
