   Excellent service-in particular a very helpful sommelier…but a chateaubriand at 50 euro per head should not involve an extra charge for sauce nor an absence of any sides Lovely room and ultimately a lovely night but expensive

   This was our second time dining at Hawksmoor. The food was delicious. The atmosphere and the surroundings are excellent. The service of the food was great but the drinks service was very slow. We had eaten half of our starter before we were served with our drinks. The toilet facilities are very disappointing, similar to our first experience dining here. They were dirty and there aren’t enough cubicles so I spent a long time in the queue to use them. It really lets down the whole experience.

   Visiting Hawksmoor on Christmas Eve was a disappointing experience. While the building ambiance was charming and the Peanut Butter Louis was a highlight, the rest of the evening fell short of expectations, particularly for the price paid. Starting with drinks, the Espresso Martini with Baileys was an immediate letdown. There was barely a trace of Baileys in the flavor, though the drink’s color suggested a token splash had been added. Worse still, the glass wasn’t even filled to a standard level. The second round of drinks fared no better, arriving three-quarters full. The starters were equally underwhelming. The bone marrow arrived with bread burned black, scant marrow, and an overwhelming amount of onions seemingly used to mask the lack of marrow. Both guests who ordered the potted beef and bacon found it unappetizing, describing the cold, fatty top layer as “vile.” For mains, the kitchen managed to mix up orders completely. My partner and I were served striploins instead of ribeyes, while our guest received a ribeye instead of the striploin they’d ordered. Feedback on the hake was similarly negative, with no standout qualities to redeem it. Desserts offered little reprieve. The apple pie was mediocre, served with a custard so watery it detracted from the dish. Despite the inviting ambiance and the success of the Peanut Butter Louis, the overall quality of food and service was severely lacking. Hawksmoor’s reputation didn’t live up to the reality, and the high prices only added to the disappointment. Unfortunately, this visit did not meet expectations, and I would hesitate to return.
