Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in NoLita

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!

Always consistently great, and I will keep coming back

Tea tray and tea itself were both very good. I only wish there was a choice of a less expensive champagne or a prosecco option.

Loved this place!! The ambiance is fantastic and the food is even better. We wanted something nice for a birthday, but nothing over the top. This place was perfect. Also— get the pistachio gelato. Its amazing.

We come to BondSt now once a year for my wife's birthday, or around her birthday, since around 2017 or so. Without fail, every year is an unforgettable experience - like we are experiencing the magic of the counter for the first time. Thank you!
