Fancy

Hawksmoor Wood Wharf is housed in an eco-friendly floating pavilion in a new riverside neighbourhood in Canary Wharf. Gently rising and falling with the tide, the main restaurant at dock-level is joined by a 120-seat waterside bar. Both include terraces with views across the water (squint your eyes and you might just see the ghosts of great ships laden with mighty lengths of timber that used to swing in and unload there). There's also a private dining room for up to 20 people named after the local legend Queenie Watts, a singer, songwriter, actor and self-confessed bawdy landlady (think Peggy Mitchell meets Joni Mitchell). The menu revolves around the best British produce the country has to offer with grass-fed dry-aged ethically reared beef, sustainable seafood from the South coast and some of the biggest hits from the Hawksmoor New York menu.

I was astounded at how good the service was - a big change from the usual mediocre attention you get in restaurants these days. They actually seemed to care!!! The wine waiter engaged with us (and offered my wife a “taste” of the wine by the glass before committing), the waiter suggested I shouldn’t order the Caesar Salad after I asked for no anchovies, and staff kept checking on us without being intrusive. Absolutely perfect!!!! 10/10

Really nice restaurant and good service. We had the lunch special which was good although one of our steaks was perhaps a bit overcooked which is why I couldn’t give 5 stars Really good service, good location, good atmosphere, drinks a bit over priced but to be expected given location etc. I would come back.

Probably our most disappointing visit to date. Ordered the filet steak cooked medium & it arrived so well done on the outside & rarer than rare on the inside. It was very tough & chewy. They offered to replace it but we’d have had to wait 20 minutes so declined the offer, we didn’t eat it & it wasn’t taken off the bill either. The sides were fine but you do expect a decent steak when visiting Hawksmoor.
