First time I have been after a friend recommended it and it was fantastic. It's a beautiful dining room and our server was really knowledgeable and guided us through the menu. They suggested the grass fed filet and a rib eye which were cooked perfectly and were super tasty. Should also mention the cocktails which were exceptional and a must try. read more

Best steaks I've had in a wonderful room and bar. Don't miss out on the desserts or cocktails...

Superb steaks in a very stylish environment. Killer cocktails and overall pretty well priced. Thoroughly recommend.

Came here for a birthday dinner with my husband specifically for the Sunday Roast, and Hawksmoor did not disappoint! Pro-tip: book an early reservation. We had a later spot and the Ultimate Sunday Roast was already sold out, but the classic roast beef dinner we got instead was still phenomenal and the portions were huge. The restaurant itself is a little dark but homey, the servers were kind, we came during a shift change and it felt a little messy but got better. Being pregnant, I stuck to a Shirley Temple (which was great!), but the food stole the night. The roast beef was perfect, the stuffing was to die for and the bone marrow gravy was so delectable we wanted to drink it. We will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu! read more

We went out to brunch on Mother's Day. Crazy, right? Holiday meals out are so often frustrating and disappointing due to crowds and expectations. But not always. We went to Hawksmoor for their traditional English Sunday roast and it was near perfect. Welcoming hostesses provided a lovely small bouquet for Mom and a prompt seating in the beautiful restaurant. We started with a round of cocktails and a delicious starter of cold smoked salmon, Guinness bread, and an herbed cream cheese. The salmon was delicately prepared with a whisper of smoke and paired beautifully with the earthy, slightly sweet thin slices of Guinness bread. I had a "Sub Zero Martini" that was served like a tall. elegant shot. So good. I had to force myself to not bang it down and demand another. Instead I sipped it like Sean Connery and nibbled on the iced ramekin garnish of spicy, thinly sliced chili and carrot. A thrilling cocktail. The Sunday Roast arrived as one large gorgeous platter of decadence for sharing. Perfectly cooked sliced rib roast served with a rich, savory sausage and beef marrow stuffing. Think of the best stuffing you've ever had on Thanksgiving winning the lottery. In a word: rich. Speaking of which, the meal is served with a small cast iron dish with thick sweet smokey bacon and small pitchers of different sauces/gravies. But I think what made this all come together into something fantastic are the humble role players of roasted cabbage, parsnips, and carrots. Usually these vegetables in a roast meal turn into a forgettable mush, at least when I'm cooking, but each veg was cooked perfectly and still retained its characteristic special flavor and texture. Hawksmoor really put out a fantastic meal for us with great style and warmth...and with a packed house Mother's Day lunch crowd. I was floored and can't wait to go back. It's a vibe. PS- Our shared sticky toffee dessert is now my death-row last request. At least there I won't have to share it! read more

Very nice newish steakhouse built in the old original Michael Jordan's restaurant in River North at 500 North LaSalle. The main dining room is but a few steps down into a lush room resembling a British pub. Service was friendly and timely. We started with cocktails at the bar while we awaited the others in our party, and the bar service was tip-top ... they assembled the bottles of whatever cocktail you were going to have right in front of you so you could watch the magic ... nice touch. The drinks were 5-star wonderful. Besides bread service, our party of five had the the Yorkshire Sloppy Joes and the Shrimp Cocktail for appetizers, and both were nice routine offerings with the Sloppy Joes standing out. For mains: we had the Lobster Louis (5-star excellent-essentially a lobster salad-for any diner who wants something besides beef) , the Hamburger (4-star nice and prepared perfectly), and the other three shared a 30-ounce Porterhouse (4-star good beef, perfectly prepared). For sides we had the mushrooms and mashed potatoes, which were 3-star good ... but tiny portions that were not shareable. Desserts were the Sticky toffee sundae, chocolate cake, and the salted caramel gelato ... all very nice offerings, especially the cake which was lighter than we were used to at other establishments making it a perfect closer. Besides the beautiful dining room, this place is loud ... too loud. We had to shout at each other to hear our conversation, and had to repeat whatever the server said because their voice did not carry. The food was good ... not Bavettes good, but very few are. All in all, a good solid 4-star steakhouse. read more

We were here for the Sunday Roast, which I've never had. I was a bit blown away by the massive plate that we were brought. I oooed and ahhd, then took my pictures and immediately got to work. Needless to say, my husband and I were no match for this magnificent meal. We had a whole second meal left over especially since we had to try the sides. I'm so grateful for the help of the staff and our amazing server. We felt right at home and cozy especially after stuffing out bellies. If you want to try it be sure to go on Sunday it's something new to try. I'm inspired to take a trip to London and try more of their cuisine. read more

Decided to partake in the Sunday Roast tradition at Hawksmoor Chicago after being heavily target-marketed on Instagram with lascivious reels of the bone marrow gravy being poured slow-mo over glistening beef. Needless to say, their marketing team deserves a raise. Good location in River North in an old cable car powerhouse, with a moody yet upscale aesthetic. Didn't love being sat for our Sunday brunch in the far corner next to the waitstaff service station, but the upholstered bench seating was comfortable. The Sunday Roast is the star of the show, but there are options that you can select to enhance your experience. We selected the Ultimate Sharing Roast, which comes with all the items in the per-person portion plus the Cauliflower Gratin and the Bone Marrow Stuffing, baked in-bone. The presentation is wonderful and the real highlights were the rib of beef with bone marrow gravy, the perfectly crisp roasted potatoes, the parsnips, the gratin, and the Yorkshire pudding. The cabbage could have used a little more fat and seasoning for its roasting, the bone marrow stuffing was dry and required the addition of the gravy to be even partially enjoyable, and the additional bone marrow bone, which I found to be overkill. I adored the spicy and bracing Shaky Pete's Ginger Brew during the meal, which was a perfect foil to the rather heavy, savory foodstuffs. It was a beautiful 70°+ day in Chicago and frankly, this is a colder weather kind of brunch. Save it for a rainy day! Literally! Our service was excellent throughout the meal, and we felt very well taken care of. We ended with the Sticky Toffee Sunday, an absolutely decadent treat but in a manageable portion and proportion with the ice cream. We were then treated to a little extra, a duo or chocolate oatmeal cookies that, for me at the end of this extremely filling and indulgent meal, were one toke over the line. I did enjoy the courtesy bite I took. It's a spendy way to start your Sunday, but very enjoyable. It could easily feed three (or four with modest appetites.) I do want to return to sample the other desserts and have another of those cocktails! read more

I'll start with one word, DISSAPOINTED. This place has good reviews and a online presence. I don't get it. Service was good. Got was cooked good. But the taste left a lot to be desired especially at these prices. Let's start with the Beef dropping chips, hash browns that's what they are $9 hash browns. The macaroni and cheese it's decent 3/5. The Boston Lettuce Salad it's good but I can make it and I'm not a chef. The Ribeye 14oz the biggest disappointment it taste like my wife made in a frying pan at home. Except her worse one taste way better. I didn't even like the bone marrow. The maple bacon was a hit though. Thick cut. Nice, slightly sweet flavor 4.5/5. I had wanted to try the Sunday Roast no shot I go back again on my own dime. Taste but price 2 stars. read more

It was a difficult day at work, and I was craving a steak! I set out searching for a place to get some, and my eyes found themselves gravitating toward Hawksmoor, especially their happy hour menu. I went in and discovered that while the restaurant is fine dining, they do have an area upstairs which has more of a pub vibe, but with the same menu. From their happy hour menu, I ordered an Old Fashioned, a Margarita, oysters (six raw, three fried), and the steak and fries. Outside of the happy hour menu, I ordered the Steelhead Tartare and a Peanut Butter Louis for dessert. The raw oysters were fine. They were of small-to-medium size, and one or two of them had a little bit of shell. No complaints about the fried oysters. They were fried to crisp perfection, and while they didn't taste fishy, they weren't exploding with flavor, either. At $2 apiece for both, I'm going to choose to be forgiving. Where it comes to the Steelhead Tartare, this was one of the stars of the night. The fish was of absolutely stupendous quality and allowed to shine, rather than being overpowered by everything else. It was accented just the right amount by a little bit of greens, a lightly citrusy and sesame-based sauce, and teeny-tiny rings of chili. These added a very subtle heat that made me wish my taste buds weren't already seared off. The tartare was served with some well-toasted, properly thin quality bread. In terms of the main event, the steak frites were alright. The fries were underwhelming. They had a good level of salt, but otherwise seemed like they were either not made with care, or had spent some quality time under a lamp. In terms of the steak, maybe this is me being an uncultured swine, but I felt it wasn't show-stopping. It had a little bit of seasoning (salt), wasn't at all chewy, and had some good, subtle meat flavors. However, I've also had absolutely amazing melt-in-your-mouth steaks, and this wasn't it. Now, I appreciate that rump roast tends to be on the leaner side, but so does Filet Mignon, and I've had great ones that *do* melt in your mouth. For dessert, I ordered a Peanut Butter Louis, and this was the other star of the night. I can see why this is a variant of something served at a Michelin-starred restaurant. Some of the inside of the cake was crisp, while the rest was soft and decadent. This is especially helped by the peanut butter. Everything comes together in delicious harmony. It gets me nostalgic for when Reese's Cups were actually great before they went cheapo on the ingredients, but I digress. When it comes to the drinks, the Old Fashioned and the Margarita were standard. They were well-executed, but beyond that, completely unremarkable. If you *do* seek something more amazing, they have them on the regular menu, but these cost eight dollars more. It's happy hour, beggars can't be choosers. I do appreciate that these two drinks were strong, and getting out of my seat after the meal, I could definitely feel them. In terms of value, getting a solid piece of meat, $2 oysters, and strong drinks is a great deal. However, as it is with me, I start getting some accoutrements, and the price goes up pretty steeply. Set your expectations wisely. If you're seeking to get some good food in your belly at reasonable prices, Hawksmoor's happy hour is the place for you. But, if you want an elevated cocktail or elevated steak, maybe look beyond the HH. When it comes to service, I want to award all the credit. Items came out fast, and the service was kind, attentive, friendly, and the servers worked together as a team. One final note. I am not someone who cares *that* much. However, I notice, and I share. For a place that calls itself fine dining, the silverware had aggressive spotting. I realize it isn't dirt and just water spots. Nonetheless, one would hope a place that touts itself as fine dining would have their stuff together in terms of polishing. Final verdict. While there were some winners of the night, the main event left me underwhelmed. Perhaps that's by design, but given the fries, I can't be so sure. I do know that I left having paid a pretty penny with only moderate satisfaction. Thus, I don't have a feeling of dying to return, be it the HH menu or otherwise. read more

Based on a Facebook post with a photo of steak frites at a special price during the happy hour from 5-6 pm, I booked a reservation. The experience was delicious and welcoming. I was in Chicago on business solo and this was, hands down, the best foodie experience. I'll definitely return the next time I'm on Chicago. Steak was perfect, red wine was well-paired, and the frites (fries) were crispy and tasty. Attentive, friendly bartenders who made everyone feel at home. Upscale, authentic British steakhouse, at reasonable prices. read more

The food was ok at best, meat was slightly overcooked and needed salt, had to ask for amount of cooking on meat. Waiter never asked. His quote was " we usually cook it with a slight pink showing " . I asked for medium rare, most of meat was medium with some medium well. The highlight was the cheesy cauliflower, and carrots, but I was there to be a carnivore. The experience and company was good but I wouldn't suggest this to anyone for a $600 bill. Half of that was what I put the worth at. read more

Hawksmoor has a very low lite enjoyable atmosphere. The server was amazing, she did an awesome job. Kitchen was running behind. My experience is based off the restaurant week menu. First course was Yorkshire Sloppy Joes. Great flavor not your typical sloppy joes. They are served with this fluffy buns, rip and dip! Also, had the Smoked salmon. It was just ok. Second course was the Rump & side. I asked medium cooked. It was fantastic ! Highly recommend it. My side was a sweet potato was a perfect side. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. The last course was the dessert, Upside-down almond & apple cake. Great taste, easy lite after a meal. Also, had Walnut & whisky mille-feuille. Unreal flavor, it easily became a favorite . Consider the wine paring with the Rump and side. The wine complement the meat well. read more

Check in staff are great. They took our coats and sat us quickly to our seats with our reservation. For starters I had Ash-baked beet salad and it was delicious. I loved all the flavors. The Fat Old Fashion was strong and ok. My wife had the lobster but it seemed ok as well. I had the 16oz ribeye. I shared a few bites with her. It was ok as well. Our waitress was very nice and answered all our questions. It was lightly dimmed inside like most steakhouses are. They placed us in the corner which was nice. We celebrated our anniversary and our waitress provided a nice dessert Sticky Toffee Pudding for our anniversary. Didn't expect it and it was a nice touch but we were full. read more

I won a free wine pairing for restaurant week so I decided to take advantage of it. In terms of service, 5/5 all around. From getting the reservation booked to the helpfulness of my waiter, everyone exceeded my expectations. I'm docking a star because of the food itself, while everything was prepared well and tasted good, it wasn't exceptional and I didn't love the last wine in the pairing. My waiter was so nice though and gave me a substitute. I would come back here on a regular outing to try other things on the menu, but I felt like the restaurant week menu had a well rounded selection of what to expect from the restaurant. read more

Tried a what would be one of top favorite cocktail in the city - Ultimate French 75 Light, crisp, and refreshing - great to have on its own or paired with some of the bar bites offered. The slight bubbly-ness from the champagne and light floral taste from the jasmine paired beautifully together.with a little vodka added to up the a proof level, this was a really amazing way to spend an early Christmas Eve evening read more

Came here for a company dinner and started with the breakfast martini which was really tasty. My second round was the full fat old fashioned which I could have done without. All apps were shared and included Vietnamese oysters, Charcoal-roasted scallops, Yorkshire Sloppy Joes and Gulf shrimp cocktail. Everything was super tasty and honestly I preferred the starters over the main dishes which again were orders family style. The table ordered chateaubriand and porterhouse paired either creamed spinach, mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. The steaks were cooked to the perfect temperature but overall okay. The creamed spinach and mashed potatoes were not good but the mac was flavorful and smoky. The service was excellent and it's definitely a good spot for a larger party but not sure if I'd come here on my own. read more

Ehh... I tethered back and forth on 2 stars or 3. Gave grace for seating us after 9pm and being pleasant in doing so. I'm doing a no red meat fast for 30days, preholiday gatherings. So I really wanted a great steak try out! I LITERALLY SHOULD'VE JUST HIT UP LONGHORN! Anywho, we dined in late night and things were just ok. We immediately ordered drinks, a french 75, and french martini. Immediately not pleased and ordered 2 margaritas, that were equally not good either. Drinks were definitely 1-2 stars. For food, we both had ribeyes. Ordering steaks off their menu was a struggle from what they had in and no prices, it was weird! Mashed potatoes, bone marrow, and maple bacon to accompany the steaks. I requested med rare on my steak temp and was presented and med-med well temp steak! Epic fail. Good flavor, but overcooking an $85 dollar steak in insane! Bone marrow was just ok, the mashed potatoes were gross. The bacon was really good. Service was pleasant. This place is too pricey for them to not get everything right! Because I didn't enjoy my drinks, that alone means I'll never return. I am happy that I got to try them out. read more

I came here last month with my family. I had previously planned a work dinner here for my colleagues and didn't hear anything bad. Plus, I could use my Chase Reserve benefit here, so why not? Let's start off with the positives. Our server was friendly, patient and helpful. Scallops appetizer was delicious. It made the rest of the meal seem promising. Now we go to the negatives. Boy and I ordered the bone in rib chop to split (extremely dry on the outside, borderline stringy, needed salt), and brussel sprouts (looked unappetizing and uninspired, like you literally boiled brussel sprouts and put a glaze sauce on top). It was the most disappointing restaurant meal I've had in years. I'm embarrassed that I picked this place for my coworkers to have a dinner. I thought eating at La Grande Bocherie blinded by an influencer light was bad, but this was worse. read more

Lovely experience at Hawksmoor! We stopped by for the Sunday Roast and enjoyed every bit. The beautiful wood furnishings make for a classy vibe that was also cozy and welcoming. It was a great spot for a nice lowkey brunch with friends. The server was extremely attentive, friendly and professional. For drinks, we ordered the espresso martinis which were not too sweet and very smooth. We moved onto the roast special for the main event, which was very well done. The rump roast was perfectly cooked and extremely tender with an excellent flavor. There were a lot of veggies which made the meal filling but not too heavy, and the crispy potatoes had a super satisfying crunch. The Yorkshire pudding was super airy and buttery- perfect for soaking up the extra gravy. We ended with the sticky toffee pudding, a house classic. The cake was very moist and absolutely mouthwatering soaked in the warm toffee sauce. Our server was super kind and brought us complimentary chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven. There was some kind of Guinness or other addition that made them very unique. I definitely recommend stopping by for the Sunday roast if you're looking for something off the beaten track, and would absolutely return to try more of the menu! read more

Tonight, my stepson was in from the Navy and we wanted to take him out for a great steak dinner. We always try higher end steakhouses and restaurants in Chicago such as Tre Dita, Boka, Joe's, etc. we are less worried about the cost and more about the food and experience. Initially, we were greeted by a very polite man and woman at the front desk. They accommodated our booth seating even though we were about 30min early. Once we were sat, we were greeted by a gentleman that offered filtered water or sparkling water. He just went with filtered water. About 15min later, our server came over to greet us. He seemed very rushed. The menus were quickly handed to us He didn't introduce himself at all, he just said," can I get anyone drinks?" , he didn't even make eye contact while explaining the cuts of meat they had in stock. His questions were very short and not very warm. We almost felt like we were an inconvenience. He asked if we had any questions. I asked about steak portions. My wife was starting to tell him we would like to order oysters. He was in such a rush, he cut her off and said, "I'll just let you guys decide and be right back" and he rushed off. He returned after about 15 min and we ordered 6 oysters. When the oysters came out the food runner was going to drop the oysters and hurry off without explaining which oysters were which leaving us with a pot luck. I stopped him and he checked with the server, came back, and waved his finger around stumbling. Not the type of service you expect with what Hawksmoor charges. The server came back and says,"You ready to order or need more time". As we ordered you could just feel he wanted to move on from the table. I added a last minute Coke, and he just smirked and rushed off. No acknowledgment. The food came out, and the food we ordered were completely given to the wrong person. The food runner was clueless. What was weird was we noticed our server cleaning tables and setting them. I've never seen that before, especially since our server handles our food as well. My wife and step daughter ordered the Sttrip, medium.... And they asked if could be toward the medium well side. We ordered Chateaubriand medium rare. For sides we ordered mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts, maple bacon, and steamed spinach. The steaks had decent flavor, but the strip came out medium rare... very rare. Half the Chateaubriand was medium rare but 2 pieces were almost well done. We ate the steak since we were hungry and didn't feel like sending it back and waiting another 45min for them to cook. The mashed potatoes I definitely would pass on, they are bland and almost like KFC mashed potatoes. The Brussels sprouts, I thought would be grilled or charred, and then tasted very bland like if they were just boiled and sent to the table, the spinach everyone liked. The maple bacon was awesome! Nice thick strips. Towards the end of our meal, most servers will ask how the dinner was, and would you be interested in dessert. Not our server. He came by and said, "let me take your plates and I'll be back for your dessert". No question or anything. Very high pressure and assertive. Almost felt like.. you will order dessert. Like I mentioned, I've eaten at many level of restaurants, including several Michelin Star establishments. I'm very understanding that things can go wrong , but always give a chance to redeem themselves. This experience was not good. The food was mediocre and not cooked right. Not acceptable when the bill was $500 for 4 people. You way to be in that price point, you better cook an perform like you deserve to be there. I can't recommend this restaurant. The food was worth 3 stars, service I'd give 1 to 1.5 stars. For $500 goto Mastros, for example. They won't let you down read more

Hawksmoor - The food, portion sizes are very small for being 12-15 dollars a pop - Steakhouses Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We tried the new addition - beef and liberty bar- upstairs. The ambiance was so cool, but there was no reason for it to be frigid compared to the rest of the restaurant! Everyone was wearing coats because it was extremely cold. We were also at first told we couldn't order from the full menu, when the website and social media had said we could. When I corrected them they did let us order from the full menu, but our service overall took so long and was hard to get ahold of. My ultimate spicy margarita was good but shouldn't have been $22 for a classic drink. The espresso martinis are good here. We ordered a couple of small plates: Scallops - our favorite, very garlicky and breaded though. It comes in 3 pieces for $28 and we sadly found out when we got our bill that adding a fourth was $10 extra.. Steak tartare - tasty and good quality Boston lettuce salad - literally half the size as the last time I ordered this which was so disappointing. I specifically ordered it because I enjoyed the portion for the price last time, so I would have paid extra for a ceasar if I had known. Filet sliders - tasty but not much meat, mostly onions Hashbrowns - loved these but only like 5 small bite sized pieces They did give us small cookies with chocolate and nuts inside but they were also not that great. Overall, for the price and service I would not come back unless for happy hour or the Sunday roast. read more

A 4/5 for Hawksmoor. Service was good and ambiance was cool, food could've been a bit more outstanding for the price. To be completely fair, we did not order steak the evening we went so this review is based on their non-steak items. For instance, I received the lobster tail as they were out of the halibut. A bit overcooked and wasn't cracked ahead of time so wish I had maybe gone for a steak at this point but was glad to try this place. Had a solid wine selection that featured some nice Portuguese wines. read more

Tried the Sunday Roast this past Sunday and it was very good. Let's start with the appetizers... The fried shrimp was fabulous. Tried all three types of oysters again delicious. And the Yorkshire pudding sloppy Joe's. I did not have high hopes for these and again really good. The appetizers are definitely a five out of five. Server was great, friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere casual and comfortable. Now onto the main course, pardon the pun, the Sunday roast. The trimmings were all fabulous. Roasted carrots, roasted garlic, the gravy all just really, very good. The roast itself was the weak-link. It tasted good, but it came out lukewarm and frankly not as tender as I expected. Overall, I would tell you absolutely try it out. But know that you don't have to go back a second time for the roast... I will go back for the steak. Make it a great day! read more

I went to Hawksmoor Chicago because of the insane hype and glowing reviews. Supposedly one of the best steakhouses in London. What I got was, without exaggeration, the worst meal I've ever had in Chicago. The oysters were full of pieces of shell - not just one, but multiple - which tells me no one in that kitchen knows how to shuck an oyster properly. The ribeye was a complete disaster. Ordered medium-rare, it arrived bizarrely split in personality - one half still practically mooing, the other cooked to death. The entire steak was riddled with thick, unchewable gristle, making it impossible to cut. On the rare occasions I managed to get a piece into my mouth, it was so tough and unpleasant that I had to spit it out. The sides didn't save it. The creamed spinach tasted like straight-up lawn clippings. The lobster was fishy like "this should not have been served". I honestly don't know how you manage to screw up a Yorkshire pudding - but somehow they did. All hype, zero execution. Save your money and eat literally anywhere else. read more

My last stop for this year's Restaurant Week! We opted for the Hack Menu, which is all à la carte. I was especially excited to try the burger that's been all over IG, but honestly, it was a bit underwhelming. It was huge, messy, and just okay flavor-wise--not the standout I was hoping for. On the other hand, the steak my table ordered? That had great flavor, and I'd definitely come back to try it for myself. What really stood out, though, was the service and ambiance. The leather, dark wood, and dim lighting gave the space a vibe somewhere between an old-school train dining car and a speakeasy--warm, intimate, and inviting. I would go back for the steak next time. read more

Steak frites were cooked to perfection and so flavorful. Sea bream melts in your mouth; would be perfect if skin was crispy. Desserts were both good. Very good quality and quantity for RW price.
