Sunday Roast Lunch was mouth watering. Our server, Rico, was quite knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive to our table. We often come here for their happy hour and loved the vibe of their Sunday features. read more

Enjoyed our experience. Steaks are interesting, well cooked and solid, everything was well portioned and the service was really great. The ambience was good - we went with the kids and they were well accommodated and enjoyed the food, especially desserts. I have gone back for a business lunch and while it was busy, the food was consistent and service remained above par. Solid option near downtown, with some unique offerings. read more

I almost don't want to leave a review because it's that good and I'd like to keep it to myself. Fantastic!! Service was phenomenal. Food was phenomenal. Ambiance was phenomenal. There's absolutely nothing negative to say. Fried oysters are easily some of the best bites ever!! Steak was seasoned to perfection. Drinks were delectable and also strong. read more

It was our first time dining, and it was amazing. Went for my husband birthday. We came on Sunday night 12/22 . Most of the food was amazing. We love the fried shrimp, scallops cooked so perfectly and mushroom wellington. My husband had the sunday roast. He loves it. The desserts to die for. I love warm chocolate and passionfruit pavlova. I would come back just for that, super delicious . The experience was made even better by the exceptional service from Rachel. She was attentive, friendly and truly made the evening special. Please let her know she stood out with her service. I'll definitely be back read more

So as someone who lived in the UK for years and has an English husband, we were very hopeful and Hawksmoor didn't disappoint . Their Sunday roast is outstanding. A massive Yorkshire pudding, roasted garlic and the juiciest rump paired with a savory and buttery bone marrow gravy. It does get busy so make a reservation if you can but the decor does remind me of the pubs in London. Sticky toffee pudding is served as is or in sundae form which is very interesting. Worth a visit read more

Went for a celebratory dinner, what a night! John made our evening absolutely fantastic, with great jokes, amazing attentive service, and answering all my random questions. He even gave us a great little dessert at the end on the house!! If I didn't already love this place I would say he sold me. When we got there the happy hour hadn't ended, got some of the fried oysters with jalapeño tartar sauce, and the raw oysters on the half shell. Not as good as the visit as they were smaller. However, at 2 dollars a piece, they were a fantastic east coast oyster. I would especially recommend some of the fried oysters, such a great flavor. The B.E.E.F burger was immensely good. It's something I would never order at a steak house, however something I 100% will eat again. Porterhouse was amazing, seasoned to perfection, however at 170 for a 28 OZ it felt a bit pricey. Bone marrow was great. Some bread to dip it in would have been nice in addition. Boston lettuce salad was really tasty, such a refreshing side to have with a rich steak. Overall a 10/10, would come back! read more

I thought the food was delicious and everyone working there was super nice and welcoming!

Food was fantastic. We had the ribeye and the burger with fries and shrimp cocktail. 10/10. Diego was our server and was the absolute best. We will be back because of him. read more

I will start out by saying food is great! Service...not so much. The bar staff needs to be retrained. Shouldn't be empty glasses, and you shouldn't have to beg for more water or another drink Somewhat of a clueless bunch, they all turned their backs to the bar and were in a heavy ten minute conversation and basically forgot they were at work. We had the Steak Frites, Burger and fries, mashed potatoes and Oysters. The food was a home run, service a weak grounder to first! We will come back, up your service game!!! read more

Food was insanely good, but service and noisy environment were garbage. Not a place for a romantic dinner, more of a place to go out to dinner with the finance bros who don't care about anything but the sound of their own voices. So insanely loud. Scallops appetizer was the best I'd had in my entire life, but our entrees took over an hour to arrive, and by then we weren't even hungry. Management kinda tried to reconcile it, but it wasn't great. Our servers had a shift change and I'm fairly certain that we were forgotten. For the price, it just wasn't it. read more

This was a disappointment. Our drink order, which took twenty minutes was wrong, our server was scarce. The wines we chose on the happy hour menu and then the regular menu were not available. the steak ordered medium came rare an no one asked if the food was properly prepared. The portions of the sides are small. The tip was added for a party of 4, too bad for our server as we tip in cash. the atmosphere may be welcoming on a winter evening, bit I could not otherwise ever recommend this, there are so many other choices in Chicago for a good steak with much better service. read more

The service was great and our server was very attentive. Admittedly, the burger was a bit more salty than I would've liked but I would also note that I do not consume as much salt which could result in my tolerance for salty foods being low. However, the chicken parm was great and my FAVORITE was the smoked salmon. read more

went for restaurant week and the food was good but it still ended up being pretty pricey! we did order drinks and extra sides that didn't come with the restaurant week menu but surprised by how fast it added up. the appetizers were definitely the stars, the potted beef and Caesar salad were amazing. the steak that was included with the restaurant week menu was just ok but it was probably their cheapest one. the sticky toffee pudding sundae was good but I thought it was gonna be a cake not a sundae. overall really yummy but still doesn't beat bavettes read more

My wife and I dined at Hawksmoor Chicago last night, and from the very beginning it felt like a joke that just kept getting worse. We started by asking for a Malbec. A sommelier came over, pointed out the three Malbecs on the menu (only two of which were actually available, priced hundreds of dollars apart) and then walked away without offering much guidance or alternative recommendations from the wine list. For a restaurant that positions itself as upscale and knowledgeable, this was lazy and unhelpful. We ordered bread, an 8oz filet and a 16oz ribeye (both medium rare), and three sides: mac & cheese, a salad, and the so-called "beef dripping chips." We were warned they might be out of the filet in that size (which already felt odd), and apparently we received one of the last ones. When the food finally arrived, the disappointment really set in. The ribeye was cooked closer to medium well, incredibly grisly, overly fatty, and tough. My knife could barely get through it. A ribeye should be rich and tender; this one was borderline inedible. The filet was better by comparison, but still nowhere near worthy of the price or reputation of this place. The sides were just as bad. The mac & cheese was genuinely awful and laughably small--maybe three or four bites for $15. The salad was overdressed to the point that the bottom of the bowl was swimming in dressing by the end. And the "beef dripping chips"? Some of the worst fries I've ever had. They tasted like Ore-Ida microwave fries from my childhood (not a compliment) yet somehow cost $10. The bread was the only redeeming part of the entire meal. To their credit, the staff comped a significant portion of the bill and invited us back for a second try. But when a steakhouse can't cook a steak properly, serves terrible sides, and offers poor guidance on a wine list, there's no reason to return. This was our first and last visit to Hawksmoor Chicago. For the price point and expectations, the experience was shockingly bad. read more

Had a date night here! Nico was our waiter and he gave us such great service and recommendations. I really liked the craftsmanship behind the cocktail - surprisingly I really liked the malort martinez & my partner really liked the reformed pornstar. I would definitely come back and try more of their cocktails. We also had the oysters and liked the Vietnamese oysters. We came here because we wanted to try their bone marrow oysters but they just changed their menu :( (would love to have you bring it back so we can come back and try it haha! ) Other than that to too it off- great food, great service, great decor (& great date night) Will recommend and come back again! Thank you Nico for the great service ! read more

5 Stars - A Steakhouse Fever Dream Hawksmoor Chicago isn't just a dinner--it's a full-on meat revelation. I came in expecting a good steak; I left emotionally attached to a ribeye. From the start, the service was spot-on: friendly, funny, and just the right amount of attentive. My server could've been a sommelier and a stand-up comic--10/10 banter, excellent wine recs. The food? Unreal. The bone marrow practically slid into my soul. The steak was so perfectly cooked I briefly considered writing it a thank-you note. Even the sides were show-stealers. And don't even get me started on dessert. The sticky toffee pudding? Illegal levels of good. I'd come back just for that and a cocktail. The vibe? Classy, but chill. You could show up dressed like you know wine pairings or like you wrestled a cow before dinner--either way, you're getting treated like royalty. Final verdict: Hawksmoor isn't just worth a visit--it's worth building your entire week around. Come hungry, leave happy (and slightly in love with a steak). Five stars, zero regrets, and one new spiritual connection to bone marrow read more

I think there is a special place in my heart for charcoal grills even though I don't own one. I have been awaiting to dine here as steak restaurants have become a hot spot for Chicago and this place recently opened up. I like that they sat us at tables where we were a table apart to give people more privacy. Our servers were nice and helpful with recommendations. We also had an Irish and Englishman stopping by the table to check on us. I assume that since the 2 original locations in those respective countries have fellows making sure these new spots are running smoothly. We ordered the beets, chateaubriand, mushrooms, mashed potatoes, and the pavlova. Everything was delicious, I would say I might make better mashed potatoes though. The meat was so tender and juicy. The dessert was so flavorful and unique and very pretty too. We would love to come back. read more

great service, very thoroug and informativ; scallops are great, main entrees are great, well-seasoned steak cooked to the right temperature , sticky toffee pudding is 10/10, perfect temperature with great balance of salt and sweetness. read more

This restaurant was not what I was expecting - elegant, classy, tasteful, & British! My favorite appetizer is the potted beef & bacon (make sure to break the Yorkshire pudding apart then add the beef and bacon each on top). The vegetarian Wellington was my favorite dish, so flavorful and stuffed with different types of mushrooms. Everything was excellent, the beet dish is very tart I enjoyed them, but the other members of my party did not (so very specific tastebuds). Our server (I'm blanking on his name) was very knowledgeable and gave a very descriptive rundown of the menu before we got started. 10000/10 in my book, I'll be back! read more

Hawksmoor is a British steak house that has a few things to learn about Chicago before being considered good on this side of the pond. My family of four (two adults and two children) rolled up for a Friday night dinner. The food is good to very good. We very much enjoyed the fried shrimp and the Jonah crab claws. We had a 24oz. Ribchop (a bone-in ribeye). It was charcoal grilled to medium rare and was very tasty, if a little small. We had a side of bone marrow, which I would skip next time. I just don't love the flavor, texture, or the presentation of it. Their creamed spinach was very good, but I was expecting more out of the hash brown potatoes. All of the portion sizes were very small. Much too small for the prices. The prices were jumbo. At least 20-40% higher than other steak houses. This leads to a problem for me, and probably other Chicagoans. If you plan on charging folks an arm and a leg, you had better bring it! The food was good, but not memorable; the service was acceptable; and the price was eye watering. Cost with two drinks per adult, and two total desserts, with tip, was above six spins. Better luck next time Hawksmoor. read more

food was poop. service was good. ambiance was fine with jdjfjfjdjr disowning forming f fundament. didn't f did d dnd

Dinner and service were amazing. Blown away by the Yorkshire pudding sloppy Joe's and the 16oz Ribeye was perfect to share. Had no idea about happy hour that only made the experience better. Julian was amazing w service and suggestions. Can't wait to go back read more

We came here to celebrate my birthday. They were still new to Chicago when we tried it out. Food: 4/5 The mushroom wellington was phenomenal, I highly recommend it! However, the steak we ordered, we ask for medium, but it was more like medium well for us. They gave me a dessert as a birthday gift and it was tasty for sure! Service: 5/5 The waiter was super nice and even asked my partner how to spell my name for my cake! He was super attentive to our needs and questions. Ambiance: 5/5 The seats are comfortable and the ambiance was nice with the lighting and seating. This is nice for dates, celebrations and after work dinner. They have a nice bar as well. I wouldn't mind sitting at the bar next time. read more

Entered this restaurant, looked nice but very loud. Our first time here, needed help with the steak menu. We ordered the 14 oz ribeye with 6 oysters and fries to share between the two of us. The steak came in 6 slices. Great, I hope it's enough for us. It was tender and not overly seasoned. Just ideal. The oysters were good the fries were excellent. The waiter also gave us a complimentary heirloom tomato salad which made us full. Great steakhouse! Excellent service. read more

One of the most underrated "new" restaurants in River North. Always so hospitable, from the moment you walk in, the hosts, servers are all so welcoming and kind. Service is always impeccable. We had the pleasure of being waited on by Oscar and he was super attentive and paid attention to small details we mentioned. Rico was also super friendly and helpful as well!!! I definitely recommend the corn tart for dessert read more

I don't even know where to begin. We came for Sunday Roast. Service - our waiter was very nice and explained the menu very well, but that was about it. It took FOREVER to be greeted by him, we waited a good while before he introduced himself. Then it took even longer to get our water and drink order in. There was a feeling of nonchalance from everyone - like zombies walking around doing tasky things. There was no follow up from our waiter after we got our food. Then midway through our dinner, he just disappeared and was replaced by another waitress and did not even introduce herself. She just started serving us out of nowhere and we never saw our initial waiter again. Nobody ever checked on how the food was or if we needed refills or order more drinks. We had to wave and get another waiter's attention to order more drinks. Food - after about an hour we finally got our appetizers and food. We opted for the Sunday Roast feast with all the trimmings. *The beef fat fries serving was very small, although tasted great. But it's very hard to get beef fat fries wrong. *The scallops were amazing, but that was about it *We ordered the 44oz bone in ribeye medium rare, but it was overcooked - nothing to write home about. *The trimmings. The Yorkshire was burnt to a crisp. The potatoes and vegetables were just ok. Loved the whole garlic though. *We ordered Bloody Mary's, but tasted just like tomato juice and Tabasco. For a non drinker and lightweight I even complained that I didn't taste any alcohol. No ice whatsoever in the Bloody Mary and the olives had pits! Almost broke a tooth going in on those. Price - wayyyyy overpriced and not worth it. The beef fat fries serving was so minuscule for $9 it was laughable. $220 for the 44oz bone in ribeye was definitely a shock, not worth it and was not even disclosed anywhere in the menu or the black board. $15 for all the trimming, a couple pieces of potatoes, burnt Yorkshire or popovers, meh vegetables and a forgettable side of bone marrow gravy. Loved the dark brown subway tiles thought. Great touch! But the entire experience was a very expensive joke! I felt like I was being punk'd. read more

I'm doing dry February so I had two mocktails which were really good and I would order again even if I was back on my drinking kick. Sour Cherry America(no) which was so good and the Grape Escape which was served with 3 red grapes on a toothpick. The Fried Louisiana Shrimp was crispy and delicious. While the Vietnamese oysters were tangy with a little spice to it that I enjoyed. My filet (10oz) was really good and cooked to the temperature I asked. The peppercorn sauce amazing and elevated the steak to a new level. The sides were 50/50 as I really liked the macaroni and cheese, but wouldn't get the creamed spinach again. The highlight of the meal though was the Stick Toffee Sundae! That was 10 out of 10. They just need to serve it in a better vessel read more

A friend of mine and I recently dined at Hawksmoor around the holidays and it was a nice experience. As it was a Friday night, things did get pretty loud given the setup of the space. That said, we still managed to catch up without yelling too much. Our server was kind and made sure we were always taken care of and he never once rushed us. Even though they ask that you put in your entire order at once, they allowed us to linger which I appreciated. I always like a little more space between courses, but that's a nitpicky thing. We started off with the "reformed pornstar" cocktail. Truth be told, when they brought out what looked like water with an aloe leaf, I was less than impressed. But looks were deceiving. That cocktail was a perfectly balanced, fruity, sweet, delight. One of the better cocktails I've had in years. Next we had the Carolina-spiced pork belly, which honestly was forgettable to me. The same could be said for the oysters, which I completely forgot about until looking at my photos. For our main dish we split a rib-eye. It was really good, but I've had better steaks in Chicago. I could've done with more marbling and a richer flavor. Rounding out the meal was the mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. I prefer my sprouts to be crispier and I've made better mashed potatoes myself so I wasn't too impressed. Finally, for dessert, we had the sticky toffee sundae which was bang on the money. Great texture, not too sweet. Lovely juxtaposition of warm sponge and cold ice cream. Honestly, I'd come back for just drinks and desserts. 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.

Food: Ordered sourdough bread, bone marrow, shrimp cocktail, 22 oz ribeye, mashed potatoes, and mushrooms 1. We were told they were out of bread so that's how the meal started (how do you run out of bread????) should've just left then 2. Bone marrow: wayyyyyy too many grilled onions, completely took away from the natural bone marrow flavor 3. Shrimp cocktail: rubbery shrimp, not much flavor and the chili cocktail sauce was not a good substitute for standard cocktail & horseradish. Tasted like grocery store shrimp 4. Ribeye: very good flavor, but by the time they brought it to the table the temperature the steak was lukewarm at best... 5. Mashed potatoes: tasted like instant potatoes covered in a jar of gravy. Gross 6. Mushrooms: too many grilled onions... again... Ambiance: Made the reservation a month in advance and they shoved us in the overflow area upstairs behind the bar. Only one other table was there in dining area so it felt empty & weird. Should've immediately left once this happened before the meal even started in hindsight... Service: Riley was great and attentive! Overall, I would say AVOID!!! Unless you want to waste $300-400 and leave unsatisfied and annoyed. Sadly, this was my husband's birthday dinner and was very disappointing. This place will be shut down in 1-2 years... read more

We had the best dinner at Hawksmoor this evening. Everything was wonderful from the steaks, starters (Bone marrow oysters) were insanely good, to the sides, desserts, and cocktails. The service was superb as well. Humberto was attentive and took great care of us. Furthermore, the ambience was reminiscent of the lovely steak houses we've enjoyed in London and Dublin. We can't wait to go back. Even the asparagus was amazing. Cocktails were unique and original. Fun twist on martini with Malort, Old Fashioneds, and Espresso martini. Thank you for an excellent birthday celebration and evening! Finally, the menu covers are gorgeous. read more

This expensive steak house has poor service (the timing was terrible), unfriendly staff (no hello or goodbye upon entering/leaving; and servers who weren't helpful in menu recommendations and had a hard time getting them to even come our table to take our orders), a cocktail menu that left a lot to be desired; ugly presentation (imagine a $90 steak on a plain white plate with nothing else. No garnish. No pretty swirl - just a chunk of meat on an oversized white plate) and small portions (a side of lobster mac n cheese cost $35 for a serving size no more than the size of 2-3 shot glasses). We had 4 people and spent over $1K and left hungry and dissatisfied with the overall experience. There are many greats steak houses in the city. This isn't one of them. Diners beware and go elsewhere! read more

Horrible experience. We encountered issue after issue from the start. Our drink orders were incorrect, and each round took nearly 30 minutes to arrive. When we finally made it to entrées--after another extended wait--the wrong steak was delivered. It wasn't just a temperature mistake; it was an entirely different cut. The incorrect steak was left on the table while they prepared the correct one, and we were assured it would be removed from the bill. We then waited at least another 30 minutes for the proper entrée to arrive. At that point, we simply wanted to settle the check and leave. However, it took asking three to four times over more than half an hour to even receive the bill. When I politely stated that we had asked multiple times and needed the check, the server abruptly slapped it on the table. Despite the service failures and delays that turned our visit into a three-hour ordeal, nothing had been adjusted on the bill. I requested to speak with a manager and explained our concerns. The manager never apologized or acknowledged the breakdown in service standards. Instead, he stated that he couldn't confirm the situation due to a shift change and essentially implied I was being untruthful. He claimed the wrong steak had been "comped," even though it was only left on the table so part of our group had something to eat during the hour-and-a-half wait for our incorrect meal, followed by another lengthy delay for the correct one. I work in luxury sales and understand hospitality expectations. I have never seen a customer service issue handled with less accountability, professionalism, or guest-centric care. read more
