   Went for a birthday celebration and couldn’t have been happier. Perfect for the steak lover in your life! Service was outstanding, our server went above and beyond for us without us even asking.

   Amazing experience - could have had more Christmas decorations but food and everything was brilliant, they brought a candle out for my friends birthday with happy birthday written on the plate. Best steak I’ve ever had!

   Review for Hawksmoor I recently dined at Hawksmoor and, unfortunately, the experience fell far short of expectations. The evening started on a disappointing note with an extremely poor delay in drinks service—nearly 30 minutes, which is unacceptable for a restaurant of this calibre. To add to the frustration, the wrong steaks were delivered to our table, creating further delays and disrupting the flow of the meal. That said, I do want to commend the manager, who handled the situation with professionalism. They took the initiative to address our concerns and removed the 12.5% service charge, which was a thoughtful gesture. Despite the manager’s efforts, the overall experience was very poor, and I left feeling let down. For the price point and reputation, I expected far better. I hope they can address these issues moving forward.

   Christmas lunch with my husband yesterday. First time in Hawksmoor and was excited to try it out. First the positives: Room stunning and wonderful to see such careful renovation of a gorgeous building. Beef cooked chips were wonderful if a very small serving. Interesting wine list (at huge mark ups- but im used to this in Dublin). The wine server was very sweet, informed and enthusiastic. Unfortunately, everything else was very average. Starters of crab and ribs looked like something thrown together by an amateur cook in a rush. At €18/19, you would expect more and I would not get either again. Chateaubriand was fine but not spectacular and a bit cold, small portion of tepid pepper sauce (extra charge) was fairly tasteless. Meagre portion sizes of sides (chips, Caesar salad and mac and cheese) relative to cost. The Caesar was very tasty though! Service was only ok (wine waiter aside- who was great), with no attempt made to make the experience stand out. Very peculiar to have wait staff wearing their own clothes (and some dubious choices) at a restaurant of this level. All in all, it would have been fine for 100€ or so less. But at this price there are better options. I truly hope this is constructive feedback- as it would be a terrible shame if this beautiful dining room in the middle of Dublin is not successful. We aim to try it again outside the Christmas period- hopefully it will have more Impact then.

   The service was good but the steak was terrible. Pink in the middle with grey outsides a real indication of having been frozen. Brussels sprouts were cold and soggy Chips were nice.

   We dined here for our one year wedding anniversary, all of the staff were very energetic and helpful. Any questions we had about the menu and drinks were quickly and clearly explained. We stayed on late after our meal as we had a later evening booking, again the staff were lovely and didn't rush us out the door while we finished our final drinks. Will definitely be coming back again next year.

   Standards are dropping here, very disappointing this time. We were left waiting ages for mains to come out, when it did everything was cold. One person ordered the porterhouse at €126, to come out cold is diabolical. We paid the bill €496 and mentioned it to our server, was told a manager would want to speak to us, we waited nearly 10 mins, then gave up and left! Meals should really come from the kitchen served on hot plates.
