    There wasn’t anything I ordered that I didn’t like. I truly enjoyed every bite. My favorite thing on the menu ……. Pretty much everything. My husband and I ordered the duck & goat spring rolls, the potstickers, crab Rangoon, pickled cucumbers, duck fried rice, fried chicken dish, and the beef with broccoli. Oh wait and we added the pork belly! We wanted to try as much as we could since it was our first time there and we are also visiting from NYC. Book the reservation and enjoy 🤍

    I took a friend for her birthday to enjoy Hawksmoor Hacks, a special budget-friendly menu available weekdays from 5-7. She had the rump steak and a salad. I enjoyed the Notorious B.E.E.F. burger. The quality of food was exceed only by the service. Don't even get me started on the dirty martini with blue-cheese stuffed olives. Highly recommend!
