I Saturday October 4, 2025 my son and I visited Hawksmoor near Covent Garden. I was captivated by the lively atmosphere when we walked in. We were seated quickly and greeted by one of the managers, who took our drink order and offered some excellent recommendations. His suggestion of the Negroni was spot on!

After looking through the menu, we decided to share the Chateaubriand. It was a great choice! At 550 grams (about 19 ounces), it was sharing entrée must! For sides, I went with the Hawksmoor Caesar salad, while my son chose the chips. Both were light and complemented the excellent cut of meat, which we enjoyed cooked medium rare. Unfortunately, we didn't have room for dessert, but there were plenty of options on the menu. 

I really liked the layout of the restaurant, the attentive service, and the overall experience. I'd definitely recommend Hawksmoor if you're in the Covent Garden area.

All of the reviews online say this is the spot to go for Sunday Roast, but none of the reviews ever mentioned that you can only get your roast in 2 different styles:
Rare, or Well done

Ewwww.  Neither really work for me.  I ordered the well done and it was just straight barely eatable.  The rare was like eating blood.  I really don't like meats in either of these 2 styles so that was disappointing.  

I ordered a £14 Lychee Martini and it was basically the size of a shot.  It tasted ok, but it was mostly memorable for how small it was.  I also tried a £16 Fuller Old Fashioned.  It was like drinking a shot of whiskey.  There was nothing else in the drink.  I think the bartender messed up.

I liked the popover (although one of them was hard and burnt).  

I wouldn't come back here.

Meh. Skip it.  Beautiful old dinning room.  Seems to be an Instagram  restaurant - take lots of photos but the food , so so.  Overall, expensive bland food.  Ridiculously expensive wine line for average wine. 

The staff - the young British woman at the hostess stand was lovely.   The rest of staff, were cold and at times rude.  Most were non UK nationals.  I'm not xenophobic, each brought their own definition of service.  

Disappointing for the price....and then the GBP to USD exchange rate.  File under major first world problems.

Love Hawksmoor both in the U.K. and NYC. Particularly love the Seven Dials location based on a former brewery.  It is like stepping down into a lovely oasis. Cocktails always made to perfection and perfectly cooked steaks and fish. Servers make all guests feel special and at home.

Wow, what a recommendation! Since I'm not from the area, I didn't know what to expect--the Hawksmoor Seven Dials, this beautiful underground restaurant is truly a hidden gem. The food was excellent, portions were generous, and prices were extremely fair. The service was warm and attentive from start to finish.

We came here based on a recommendation, and we were absolutely not disappointed. I highly recommend anyone in the area to give this place a try--you won't regret it!

So, in our journey to find the best sticky toffee pudding in London, we landed here. And let me tell you - the reviews that led us here weren't wrong!

We literally came for just dessert (and a drink!), and we had an excellent experience. Staff was wonderful, and the place is a total vibe. Dark, moody, and wildly classy. Exactly what you'd expect from somewhere like this.

The tiramisu was an add on, as our waitress let us know that it was a new dessert that had quickly risen in ranks among the staff. Truly one of the best I've ever had. The full fat old fashioned was a delightfully buttery twist that complimented the desserts well! The sticky toffee pudding?? My God. Incredible and will knock your socks off.

Wonderful service and incredible food. We shared a Caesar salad, Chateaubriand (650g) with marrow gravy, beef dripping chips, and the sticky toffee pudding. Everything was over the top delicious. The Caesar was the absolute best I've ever had. (I make my own from scratch at home and now I'm jealous that I can't make mine as delicious as theirs). The chateau was cooked medium rare perfectly, had an excellent exterior sear, and paired perfectly with the umami bomb of a gravy. The chips were indeed as beefy and crispy as everyone says. We'd never had a dessert like this before and weren't sure what to expect. We're definitely hooked, it was phenomenal. 

The interior is cozy, not as fancy as you'd find in a similar menued/priced steakhouse in the US. But that's fine! You're not in the US and it's perfect for London. 

We loved our service and the full fat old fashions paired perfectly with everything. Chef's kiss!

Part of a chain, but solid steakhouse in Covent Garden/Seven Dials area.  Dining room is downstairs - dark, atmospheric.  Restaurant sells the larger cuts of steak by the gram, depending upon what is available.  Started with a Caesar salad and crab on toast to share. We shared a large chateaubriand and some chips.  The meat was tender, seasoned, and the chips were crisp. Only problem? It was not enough food for our group so we ordered more steak and tried the "fries". This cut of meat was not as expensive (or as good). The fries were thin sliced, as opposed to the thicker chips (which we preferred). 

Service was uneven. We had many servers helping us and trying to take plates, but hardly one of them checked in on what we needed. Good for pre-theater meal.

Came by just for the sticky toffee pudding. You can just eat at the bar without needing a reservation. The receptionists were very polite and helpful.

The decor is very neat and swanky. The sticky toffee pudding was amazing and it really hit the sweet tooth spot!

I didn't have reservations on Sunday but thankfully they accepted walk in tables. Average sunday roast plate -- got the meat pink and it was fine. The popover was a little over cooked. 

Must get the sticky toffee pudding. It is the best thing! I could eat a dozen.
