My wife and I were visiting London from Manila, and our friend from Singapore - an ex-Londoner - highly recommended we set aside time to try out the best steak at either a Hawksmoor or a competitor chop house. I'm glad we went for the former as we had a stellar lunch experience on our last day before flying out. The menus were an experience unto their own, which my wife and I enjoyed going through. The Sour Cherry Negroni was a good start to our dining experience. Roasted Scallops: fresh, tasty, and arguably the biggest scallops we've had. Rib-eye (350g): an excellent cut, and the only thing we regret was not getting the 450g option. We had this with Mash & Gravy and Creamed Spinach which were excellent too. (Don't forget to ask the waitstaff for wine pairings.) We'll definitely visit a Hawskmoor again the next time we're in London.
