    Stylish venue with a large drinks bar and dining room. Good food at every course and good wine list. Unfortunatley, we found the service to be slow and inattentive and whilst the noisy dining room makes for a good atmosphere; it also makes conversation at normal volume difficult.

    Don’t do it ….its over priced and overrated.. You will be approached by staff that look like they should be working in Camden market street food area it’s poor you would expect a smarter appearance.. And the food was so so disappointing we did other to complain as we could work out who was who..? Take a head torch with you to help you see the menu we had to use our torch’s from our phones to see….. Just don’t do it…don’t go

    lovely lunch. Thank you for not rushing us. We had our table for 3/4 hours despite it being so busy. This allowed lots of time for us to catch up with our parents without the need to find a new location so was much appreciated thank you. This is the second year we have chosen Hawksmoor Guildhall for our parents/in laws festive lunch and it works really well for us

    I have to say, I was disappointed with our outing to Hawksmoor Guildhall. We were there for my sons 18th birthday. Twice I was asked by the staff whether it was his 18th birthday and twice I said yes but despite this there was no surprise of any sort. No cake, no candles, nothing. Also, although I appreciate that it was busy on Saturday evening, the service was incredibly slow. Almost an hour to get our food and 30 mins to pay the bill. The poor staff (clearly not enough of them) were run ragged. Also, we were offered bread. In all of my international travels I have never paid for bread, which was GBP 1 per slice! WTH! For 3 of us, mains only, plus the overtly expensive bread and a few glasses of wine, it was GBP 262. I wont be rushing back anytime ever.

    The ambience is nice but a little crowded and noisy. You could hear the conversation of the guest seated next to us. Ordered the Diane steak because steak is their specialty however it was very fatty and difficult to chew. If you are wanting an evening of quality steak & some quiet dining this is not the restaurant!

    Disappointing when you compare it to the new Canary Wharf branch. For a high end meal £150 for a couple you expect something extra special. The staff were so casual jeans and converse, any clothes, didn’t realise they were even working there. Tables were rammed in. Table and chairs/ decor average. Three members of staff said happy birthday, in other restaurants you were get a mini dessert. Won’t be returning

    Excellent food, corkage available and a nice venue albeit a little loud on a busy night. The maître d' was very helpful but the table staff were not very service oriented - the waitress kept interrupting every conversation mid-sentence, and the server from the kitchen 'dumped' the food on the table - perhaps they were in a bad mood.

    Fantastic quality of beef - highly recommend the porterhouse. The potted beef starter was divine and a generous portion, my guests equally enjoyed the tartare and bone marrow. The chocolate anglaise was for me the perfect finish and the passion fruit pavlova also went down very well. We will be back!

    Absolutely the best roast dinner I have ever had in a restuarant. Generous serving, amazing quality food, reasonably priced. Maybe some extra gravy would have been nice, but over all superb. Friendly staff and very quick, didnt have to wait too long. Highly recommend.

    On the whole the steaks and sides were good, just a little over salted (steaks and vegetables) on this visit. Previous visits the seasoning has been perfect. Macaroni cheese is to die for!

    Wow! The best steak and service we’ve had in London. I booked a table for my wife’s birthday and they went out of their way to make the evening super special. Our waitress Marianna was brilliant. We ordered the fillet and rib-eye, we have to say that we’ve eaten at all Hawksmoor restaurants in London and this was our favourite. We finished off the evening with some tasty cocktails and the sticky toffee pudding, mouth-wateringly delicious. Highly recommend, our favourite steak place in London.

    Good service despite it being very busy. The portion sizes are large and the food quality good. The stuffing is outstanding. Cheese at £4 per selection is good value. The wine list is extensive albeit a little on the expensive side. Overall an enjoyable meal.

    Food has gone down hill. Paid £6.50 for what was suppose to be triple cooked chips but were just oven cooked chips. Burger was dry and creamed spinach lacked in flavour. Steak was lovely and was was the Mac and cheese. However, £150 for a very average meal. Too loud as well, couldn’t hear your own conversation. Waiter however was great! I would be hesitant to go back.
