Big Hawksmoor fan over here. I have dined with them both here and the flagship brick and mortar in London. There is clear brand consistency no matter where you are in the world. The Sunday roast never fails to hit the spot, but the steak selections and menu as a whole always does the trick. I have tried various oyster selections here, and they are always amazing, along with all the side dishes. This is also a place that is very accommodating when it comes to back rooms and booking for private events, especially when you're booking for someone high profile, they are always discreet and will bend to accommodate. I highly recommend building a relationship with them if you need private last minute reservations. This whole team is knowledgable and it is worth the price you pay. read more

Hawksmoor met, and exceeded, our expectations. The menu features traditional comfort food with an English flair, and everything is freshly prepared and delicious. I don't usually order French fries, but they're an absolute must here. We sampled a variety of dishes, including the burger, oysters, sloppy joes, and shrimp. Every single one was excellent, and the service was impeccable. Our server, Patrick, was incredibly attentive and even surprised us with a complimentary side we had been considering but couldn't quite decide on. Overall, a five-star experience. We'll definitely be back. read more

Had an early Father's Day celebration here with my family! Came on a Sunday to try their Sunday roast British tradition. Scallops: Get these!!! So buttery and delicious. I could've easily eaten 20 of these. Hawksmoor iced tea: Skip this. Little to no sweetness. Very watered down. Pineapple soda: Was also watered down Sunday roast: Great to experience with a group! We got 1 ultimate roast and 2 regular roasts cause they were short on the ultimate portion. The meat needed more salt but other than that it was good. The gravy is delish! Comes with stuffing and cheesy cauliflower as the sides. Sticky toffee pudding: Get! Cake is very moist and the syrup at the bottom is so good. I love toffee pudding in general! We also got the sundae form and it was equally as good! read more

Great tasting food. It was absolutely delicious. We did have to wait quite a bit, close to 30 minutes for our food to come though, and no one seemed to notice or even stop by to say anything even though we were in the center of the restaurant. That was disappointing, but the delicious food made up for this for sure. Great space, not overly loud. They do absolutely get the food right! 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

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

Ok can we talk about the Notorious B.E.E.F?! This was truly one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. It was thick and juicy and tasted like an elevated version of a Big Mac. I was full after eating half but forced myself to keep eating because it was THAT good. Raw Oysters and bone marrow were also delicious but the burger stole the show. I highly recommend coming for happy hour. They have plenty of happy hour specials. Our waiter was also very friendly. I plan to come back for the burger 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We have gone here twice now. The first time on my birthday and it was so good I think I had the Picanha steak. It was heavenly a true fine dining experience. The food had already got me but what kicked it off was the toffee dessert. I still think of that. On our next stop there, we had to get the Sunday roast. This was so good as well, meat always Cooked to perfection at this spot. We ate it all but I wasn't able to get the toffee dessert as I was already close to falling asleep. This will be a place that I will always recommend to ppl if asked. Staff is always nice here, also if you are traveling with bag they may have some space to put them while you dine. read more

I came here for Valentine's Day Eve and the ambience was amazing. Straight candle light dinner vibes.

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
