    We were celebrating my birthday and the service was so quick and efficient. Food was delicious and they gave us feee desserts to celebrate, later they had a Polaroid camera and let us take pictures with it. We had a reservation for 9pm and they were more than ready for us and didn’t rush us out at all, in fact it almost felt like they wanted us to stay. Overall one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had at a restaurant!

    I love Hawksmoor. I've always loved the London locations, and was at the New York one when it first opened. I've been back to Hawksmoor 4 times since then and always had a good meal including last night. I'm taking one star off because the welcome by the hostess was cold bordering on rude when I arrived. She was deep in a conversation with her coworker and was gesturing to her and ignoring me. When I made eye contact with her she glared and when I finally gave my name her colleague sat me at my table. That colleague and every waiter in actual restaurant were wonderful, but it is an issue when that is the first person you come into contact with. The food was excellent, Potted Beef, Bone in Striploin (perfectly cooked) mac and cheese, spinach were all excellent. Pro tip, go on Monday night and corkage fee is only $10!

    Our server was spectacular! I wish I remembered his name because he deserves a lot of credit for providing such stellar service (accomodating dietary restrictions and indecisiveness) on such a busy night. He also had a wonderful personality that made interacting with him fun.
