We got the chateaubriand which was the nicest steak I’ve ever eaten in my life. Compared to Hawksmoor Fire and FXB this beats all of them. The service was quite good (very friendly waitress) I can’t wait to return and try the Sunday roast. Highly recommend this place

My parents were celebrating their 60th anniversary on Valentine's Day and the Hawksmoor Team made it memorable. The vibe, energy and experience for me is as important as the food and the team are central to this. They were incredibly attentive, thoughtful and helpful which added so much to the experience. And of course the food was 11/10 Keep doing what you're doing Team Hawksmoor - the Dublin restaurant scene is better for it! Gavin
