Welcome to Hawksmoor Chicago, where we bring our acclaimed steakhouse experience from the UK to the iconic LaSalle Powerhouse in River North. Our ethos is simple: ‘Buy the best and let it shine.’ We serve all-natural, pasture-reared, dry-aged beef from US family-run farms, cooked over charcoal and seasoned simply with sea salt. Our seafood, sourced from trusted Northeastern fishermen, is prepared with equal care.

In our 16,500 sq ft space, featuring barrel-vaulted ceilings and touches from the Golden Age of Travel, Hawksmoor is perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re stopping by for cocktails, a casual lunch or a special celebration, we make sure you leave full and happy. We also offer private dining for groups of 10 to full venue buy-outs for 500—ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and corporate events.

And don’t miss our Sunday Roast: dry-aged beef, beef-dripping potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and bone marrow gravy—something like a Thanksgiving dinner every Sunday.

  • Sunday roast

    Multiple dates available
    Sundays at Hawksmoor are all about our Sunday Roast: all-natural, dry-aged, slow-roasted Rump served with crispy beef dripping potatoes, Caraflax cabbage and carrots, gigantic Yorkshire puddings, lashings of bone marrow & onion gravy and the option for a side of cauliflower cheese or slow-roasted bone marrow and onions. Sunday Roast dates back to the 15th century where large joints of meat were roasted on a spit over an open fire; to achieve a similar flavor, we start ours on our charcoal grill and finish them in the oven. Many who've had a Sunday Roast equate it to a Thanksgiving dinner – a comforting, filling meal that is best in the company of loved ones. And, should a Bloody Mary, or two, be consumed alongside it, who are we to judge?

  • BRING YOUR OWN WINE Monday Club

    Multiple dates available
    Mon - 17:00 - 21:30

It’s a simple concept: bring any wine you like – doesn’t matter if it’s a first-growth Bordeaux or a bottle of Barefoot – and we’ll only charge you $10 corkage (for up to two bottles). Not sure what to buy? Take a stroll over to our neighbors at the Aqua Wine & Spirits store (they’re literally on the other side of the street) and they’ll help you choose something to make your meal pop.

    Cocktail Hour is kind of a big deal here at Hawksmoor. From 5 till 7pm, Monday to Friday, you can grab a selection of our world-class cocktails for a cool $12 – and we’re doing our freshly shucked Island Creek oysters for just $2 a pop. Try Chicago’s coldest martini – we serve ours at a bracing 10°f – with spicy Scotch Bonnet Oysters or our Wicklow Old Fashioned with charcoal-roasted bone marrow oysters. The best bit? No reservations required – just swing by when it suits you. Of course, if you’d like to stay for dinner, you can book a table any time.

    Went to dinner during Chicago Restaurant Week. Very disappointed. The food was underwhelming. The yorkshire pudding was overdone and crispy. It came out to the table cold as was the gravy. The steaks were salty and barely lukewarm. The drinks were great - creative and just right. Not once did our server ask how everything was. No reason to go to back to this place twice.

    Hi Lisa, Thank you for your feedback, it really is valuable to us. Whilst it is wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the cocktails it is concerning we did not deliver on the 5 star experience we are known for at Hawksmoor. A member of our team will reach out to you directly soon. Hawksmoor Chicago

    Chicago Restaurant Week 2025. Service was impeccable - they were attentive, anticipated our needs, and gave us a personal recommendation on how to best eat Yorkshire Pudding! Having sampled almost the entirety of the menu restaurant week, besides the sea bream, overall impressive dishes. Some standouts include: ricotta dumplings, sticky toffee sundae.

    We came for Restaurant Week and really enjoyed ourselves but the appetizers stole the show! The Vietnamese oysters, the scallops and the bone barrow appetizers were my favorites. The oysters were fresh and the ginger chili with the fried onions on top were perfection! The scallops were buttery and the breadcrumbs and pesto broiled on top made for the perfect textural balance. The bone marrow was probably one of the best I’ve ever had and the onions on top?!?!?! Heaven sent!!!! The Caesar salad was ok. Great croutons but the dressing was really lacking flavor. The ricotta gnocchi was also great, very pillowy on the inside but with a nice sear on the outside and the mushrooms really set it off! The mango desert was great if you’re lookkkg for something that’s not too sweet. The tartness of the mango with the sweetness of the pavlova was a nice finish. The steak frites from the restaurant week menu left a lot to be desired since it was so fatty, that half was inedible.

    The steak was undercooked and service was largely invisible. Appetizer and dessert were good.

We are of course disappointed to hear that we did not deliver on the steak and that service was lacking. One of our team will reach out to you directly to discuss your visit further.
