Old Street Restaurants

Absolutely fantastic on every count. The service, the atmosphere, and importantly, the food. Could not fault it at all. Wanted a great meaty restaurant to take my vegetable hating husband to on his birthday. Someone at work had recommended Blacklock so I booked it. We’ve been to Hawksmoor a few times and loved it, so our expectations were high and it did not disappoint. Staff were amazing from the moment we arrived. Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Attentive to exactly the right level. Food was sensational. We had the Prime Rib (700g) and a bacon chop, plus fries. So good. Deserts were also lovely- bread and butter pudding and 698142 cheese cake both fabulous. We then had a tipple at the bar on the way out. All excellent and very reasonably priced. We will definitely be back.

Second time I’ve been… first time with business as I wanted top notch vegetarian, without going to a vegetarian restaurant.. This time with my daughter.. she was deeply impressed as was I. Brilliant service, attentive without being OTT.. food was better than I remembered.. we probably over ordered but still had room for dessert.. Aubergine exception… Prawn toast unbeatable… Lomo very very good. Will be back

Really great experience for the second time eating here. The food genuinely is delicious and the service was excellent!

Food was great - inventive and well presented. The atmosphere is very cold though, with harsh lighting - comes so close to being a fun inviting place but just misses the mark in the evening in terms of decor and ambience - but do go for the food - it’s knockout!

Excellent service from the team. Nepalese Dumplings starters were fantastic and highly recommended, as were the desserts. As always, a great craft beer selection too - the main reason we keep coming back! The Sunday lunch does seem to have changed since our last visit, with a large Yorkshire and most of the food inside it. The Yorkshire was crispy and tasty as was the Beef. The Pork Belly was very small for the cost but I think we were just unlucky as I could see other plates and they weren't quite the same. The Chicken looked plentiful and the Beef just right, cooked perfectly too. A negative would be the Cauliflower Cheese. I would normally expect to be able to buy a side portion of that for the table but it wasn't available. Sadly I had no more than a teaspoon of it on my plate which was a shame. All told, a very good meal for all and I would definitely recommend going if you have not tried it.
