My colleagues and I came here as a special occasion. I had seen the Eater video on YouTube and had to make a trip. The staff was excellent and attentive. The dining room was pretty stunning to walk into, with its grand dome and classy booths. They make it feel both sophisticated but also down to earth. The famous beef fat fries were addictive and the other sides were good as well. The steaks definitely had the characteristic charcoal flavor on the outside, but not as much crust as I would have liked. The chateaubriand was a standout and the dessert was definitely a highlight as well. Would definitely recommend for a special occasion.

Went here for dinner with my wife and kids and have to say will be coming back. The appetizers were great. Highly recommend the oysters with bone marrow and the scallops. Steak selection was a good one and they do this by weight so you can gauge base don the number of people you have in your party. It came out hot and correctly cooked to a perfect medium. For dessert do not forget the Toffee pudding. Has to be the best one I have ever tried. Came out hot and moist.
Drink menu impressed as well with some atypical cocktails.
Overall a great dinner. It does get pricey but this is a high end steakhouse so this is expected but well worth it.

I visited Hawksmoor for an early dinner on a Saturday, with no reservation, and sat at the bar.
The bartender, Jorge, was quick to greet us, and throughout our two hour visit was incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive. He also let me know about a couple of amazing and rare whiskey options they had that were not on the menu.
Our appetizer was the scallops, and they were absolutely melt in your mouth perfect.
Dinner consisted of the 10 oz filet, medium rare. I had the peppercorn sauce and my friend had the bone marrow sauce. We were both delighted. The dry aged steaks were cooked brilliantly, tender and juicy and flavorful but with a perfect caramelized sear. We both happily ate every bite.
We shared two sides, creamed spinach and mashed with gravy. There was enough for each of us, and both were delicious. We both remarked at the amazing flavor of the spinach. It was delicious.
Finally for dessert we shared a toffee pudding, and again, it was perfect.
All in all, one of the finest dining experiences I have enjoyed during my ten years here in NYC. I can't recommend it highly enough. I'm very eager to return!

Had a very good time with friends here. The oysters are ultra fresh. The meats are good but I thought a bit too overcooked. I ordered my ribeye as medium (which is what they recommend) but thought it was too well done. The creamy spinach side is very good as well as the fries cooked on beef fat. Special nod to the ambience. Very nice place they have here. Well restored, and decorated. All is in very good taste so to invite a special someone to a special occasion. Price is high though $$$$

We had a very enjoyable experience at Hawksmoor NYC with our family. The drinks, wine, and service was incredible. We had the Ribeye and Porterhouse with creamed spinach, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, asparagus, carrots, and fries, which were extraordinary. Lobster was also fantastic. We had every dessert on the menu and there are no words to describe how delicious they were-- we LOVED the dining experience and would highly recommend it.

There was nothing really wrong with the meal but there was nothing that was exceptional that made me say wow, it's so good and I can't wait to come back.
The service was great... The waiter was knowledgeable, explained the cuts and seasoning perfectly. He even gave us a nice history of the restaurant and the building where the NY branch is.
The appetizers and sides are single portions and not appropriate to share. Maybe the scallops, oyster and salad.. But the pork belly, fries, creamed Spinach, asparagus... All on the smaller side. Definitely order enough if you have a large party and plan to share.
The prices are comparable to premium steak houses but I found the grass fed meat chewy and sinewy (a little). The marbling is not what I'm accustomed to in a nice slab of rib eye. The seasoning and flavors are spot on but the chewiness of our steaks is just not the same as say Porterhouse Grill or Keens. I really wanted to love the place... But... The meat just didn't connect with my palate.
Maybe to others it'll be better.... Do give Hawksmoor a try and make your own judgment.

Good vibe and good tasted great. Dry aged porterhouse 34oz had a great taste and cooked perfect. They have a set number of oz cuts, so we couldn't get anything under 34oz since they were out. Spinach side was simple and good, Drinks were good. Brought out a small chocolate sampler for my birthday. Only complaint was that service towards the end when we were done and wanting to pay was really slow, but our server was running around and seems more like a slightly short staffed situation more than anything else.

Now THIS is a steak dinner. Beautifully decorated space, meticulously executed cocktails, and a reasonably-priced (you know this isn't a cheap meal if you're coming to dine here) set of steaks. Love the chalkboard showing which large cuts are still available. Desserts are far from an afterthought - definitely save room.

Hawksmoor NYC absolutely blew me away! The service was incredibly friendly, the dining room is stunning, and food quality is *chef’s kiss*. Highly recommend the bone marrow charcoal roasted oysters, porterhouse steak to share, as well as any single one of their thoughtfully crafted and delicious cocktails. The food and drinks came out super quickly even on a busy Friday night, but i’d still happily stay here for hours.
Hands down the best dinner experience i had in 2021, and will definitely be back regularly this next year!

very delicious steak- definitely a place you want to go with 4 people or more. we got the 40 oz porterhouse to share, and it was cooked perfectly. the seafood was shockingly good. we LOVED the scallops- it may have been the best dish we had there. the sides I will say were a little disappointing. I didn't like the Brussels (soggy, not crispy), and the beef fat fries didn't have the wow factor. however, the steak made up for it. the atmosphere is unmatched- the dining room is stunning and brings you to a different era in time. the cocktails were also very good- i got the full fat old fashioned and it was amazing.
