Located in the heart of Gramercy in the restored Assembly Hall of the landmarked United Charities Building, Hawksmoor is a steak restaurant that celebrates all-natural, pasture-reared, and traditionally dry-aged beef.

On Sunday afternoons Hawksmoor keeps with the tried-and-true British tradition and features a Sunday Roast. Completing our offerings are award-winning cocktails, including New York City's coldest martini, and a carefully curated wine selection.

Great food and drink. Service was wonderful and server was kind in answering all my food related questions. I think the only thing that was disappointing was the very casual attire of the staff particularly the hostess. It’s such a beautiful room. Even though we were there for a late lunch I would have thought attire would be a little more refined.
