We had a wonderful experience! 2 adults and theee young daughters food was absolutely delicious! Came out very fast and great portion sizes.

We would definitely come back. Everything we ordered was perfect, from the jumbo fresh shrimp cocktail to the blue cheese wedge to the perfect The Smith burger. And let's not forget to give kudos to our waiter, Fernando. A gem!

I'd heard good things about Hawksmoor, and it didn't disappoint. Although the server got off to a rocky start with a rattled-off, rushed list of offerings, the food was stellar and arrived in a timely fashion. We tried raw oysters, which were pristinely shucked, scallops on the half shell, caesar salad, and sourdough bread before digging into the mains. A rib chop that was succulent and tender alongside a porterhouse, seared to perfection, was devoured alongside lobster mac 'n cheese, spinach, mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. Everything was delicious, and the elegant room makes a grand backdrop for feasting.

We had an amazing dinner experience last night. Our waitress Kathy, from Venezuela, was one of the best parts of our evening. She was in tuned to our needs, knowledge of the menu and drinks, and very charismatic. Our meal was delicious, I got the spaghetti and the addition of baratta cheese was fantastic. The atmosphere was the icing on the cake. I felt like we were in some far away land. The twinkle lights, the trees, it was magical.

It was a pre fixe meal as it was Christmas Eve but I think that worked to our advantage. The Mezze was outstanding. I highly recommend sharing dishes. All of them were very good.
