    Hawksmoor Dublin is always a great dining experience. It’s my favorite steak place in Dublin. I like how they have all the daily available great steaks listed on a chalk board by size. The steaks and sides are wonderful. The service is great, and I like the upscale but relaxed environment there. I look forward to my return for another great dinner.

    Overall, the dinner was lovely. The interior is beautiful and gives a great first impression. The food was gorgeous, pricey but you pay not only for food but also ambiance so I absolutely don't mind! However, the only downside was the service. On a quiet day, there is absolutely no reason to put the only two tables right beside each other, it was rather awkward. One situation that left quite a bad taste in my mouth was when the staff argued about an order. It was a genuine mistake - I ordered a lamb bao, and received a lobster one. Completely different but I had the staff argue as the lobster bao is called "Lambay" and tried to tell me I was the one that ordered wrong... Just a mistake however it wasn't handled great. The food was gorgeous, the spiced margarita with the lychee foam one of the best ones I had, but overall experience was a bit tainted and unfortunately I won't be rushing back.

    Boeuf and Coq is a lunch time must 😊 The lunch menu is unbelievably good value, the staff attentive but not obstrusive. The decor simple but stylish with a relaxed and mellow atmosphere. Good food, cocktails would recommend a lunchtime visit when in Dublin 👍
