The best food experience in a long time, the waiting staff was courteous and very knowledgeable with wine and olive oil recommendations. Food is full of flavour and highly recommend a couple of starters, a pasta to share between two and main course each. We tried the prawn and 3 pepper linguine for pasta, monkfish and grilled squid as mains with few starter and star of the menu bread and olive oil taster. Worth mentioning the calm and slow pace of bringing our food, did not make us feel rushed in anyway! for 2 of us we had the table for over 2 hours 30 mins, which is great as you don’t get to see that in London these days. Brilliant experience overall ! Thank You Team!

Went to have a meal on a Saturday evening pre Christmas. The food was lovely - would highly recommend dessert, which was also amazing considering Hawksmoor are mainly known for steak! Service was spot on - had an extremely attentive waitress who was so friendly and helpful. I ordered a tea with dessert which didn’t come for a while (I was okay with that as not rushing), and she brought it over and took it off the bill apologising for the wait! Restaurant is just off regent street, near Piccadilly Circus so can sometimes hear outside traffic but didn’t bother us. Would definitely come back again

Staff were friendly and unobtrusive, and the food was fantastic. The carrot starter - who knew the humble carrot could taste so good. The cast iron fillet steak was so tender and full of flavour. On the pricier side, but you get what you pay for, and portion sizes were generous.
