Rubén SAugust 6, 2014Apparently the site of a former strip club, it's quite a dark place. Try the absolutely fantastic Ox Cheek French Dip sandwich, it's served along with a gravy boat in which to dip your sub
Lisa StarbucksFebruary 17, 2016😲 cocktails 😵 meat and those mushrooms 😍😍😍 peanut butter shortbread with caramel ice cream. It was fantastic and service is spot on. Enjoyed every bit even if we only had a place at the bar. 💕💖

Daled DotanOctober 3, 2016Do not miss this gem! Expensive, but worth every penny. Went by myself and it felt great, coz the service and vibe was so friendly. Try the Bourbon and pineapple cocktail! It's surprisingly good.
Kate BarnettOctober 28, 2012Best service I've ever experienced. They ran out of burgers because they'd had a pretty damn busy Sunday but offered us 50% off and a free round of drinks. Tried everything off the menu. Amazing
Martin OplockýOctober 5, 2012The restaurant is nice, quiet and clean. Waiters are very friendly and helpful, which will be very happy to advise you on food. Steak with french fries was very tasty but the portions are too big ! ;)
Richard GeorgeJune 6, 2016Very finest food and wine with supremely attentive and friendly service. Fine dining with no pretension whatsoever, a great experience. Not cheap, but if you want a really special meal it's worth it.- You already know of Hawksmoor for serving the best steaks in town. Well, add another string to their bow; the drinks at their basement bar are just as good as their steaks.
Lewis TJune 10, 2017Beautiful 41 day aged prime rib steak. Go for the options on the blackboard to share! Skip starters and have the Crunchy Bar for dessert!
Adam RobbinsMay 2, 2015Good steak, as you'd expect although in a slightly drab setting (upstairs dining room). Acceptable, but Flat Iron & Buen Ayre are a cut above and way better value.
Daniel WFebruary 9, 2019Another great steak place, great atmosphere, fantastic service and drinks! I still think Goodman is better that’s just because their sides are bigger, but Hawksmoor is a fast follower!- Lee HartJuly 16, 2018some of the best meat in london! all cooked to perfection. try the tamworth pig sausages, which are the best around.Upvoted 4 weeks ago
Mike DoveSeptember 8, 2017Well, this is a great steak house and I think the original. I had sirloin with chips and fried eggs, fantastic. And a great red Cab Sauv from south Africa.
Vit LustinecSeptember 1, 2019Visited twice within few days. Supergood steaks, nice selection of different meatparts, cooked pefectly. Good attentive service and choice if red wine.
Christine SmithMay 1, 2017Fantastic burger, mac and cheese, and fancy cocktails in the downstairs bar. I would go here for dates, drinks with friends, or solo. Super recommend!
Kris CroxMay 15, 2016Without a reservation a table is impossible. But if you can grab a seat at the bar, the bartenders are great and they'll serve you a fantastic steak there.
Everything is good. Very good. Burguer, roast, bone marrow as a starter. Steak tartar for lunch. The meat. Oh god. It's bloody awesomeeee. Best cocktail: pink lady. Dine with a Pale Ale.
Jennifer HardiSeptember 28, 2014Definitely definitely definitely go for the peanut butter shortbread with salted Caramel ice cream! You won't regret it
- BasakFebruary 5, 2015Oh my! One of the best steaks I've had in my life. As an appetizer, get that potted beef and bacon with Yorkshires.
TeeFebruary 6, 2015Get the Sunday roast with all the trimmings (when here on a Sunday). It's a bargain for £20, despite the roast potatoes being a bit of a let down.
Brian StraussSeptember 12, 2017Delicious steaks. Excellent gin martini and Cesar salad. Sea salt Rolos for the win!
Will BreteauAugust 4, 2013delicious sunday roast & bloody mary! very cool staff & relaxed atmosphere! perfect for a sunday catch up with friends!
Amazing cocktails and simple, yet spot-on, menu selection! I highly recommend trying the Surf and turf, as well as the Dover sole :)
Liam TaaffeDecember 21, 2011The best steak restaurant in London located between the City & Shoreditch resulting with a mix of city boys & trendy media types. Food is first class and its my No1 choice for client lunch meetings.
Evening StandardJune 20, 2012Don’t be fooled by the ‘bar snack’ concept – this is a full-sized cheeseburger, made by blending Longhorn beef with bone marrow. Try with oxtail poutine (that’s posh for chips’n’gravy) on the side. Read more
Adam SheldonAugust 31, 2014Cocktails are always good, as is the entire meat menu - a particular highlight is the Tamworth Belly Ribs
Cassandra KollakisMarch 12, 2015Great steak. Great sauces. Bone marrow is a big no no. Literally just burnt fat. Everything else great quality
Josh TaroliJune 22, 2016Yes, sir! This is a proper Sunday Roast! (20£) The service is amazing as well!
Ciarán LeeJanuary 3, 2019I ate at the bar which was really nice. Steak, seafood, beer, cocktails, and sticky toffee pudding. All of it was amazing 👌
The cuts on the bone are sublime. The prime rib in particular is exquisite. Always have the creamed spinach. Amazing!
If you can get here before 6:30pm, they have a great value express dinner menu, something like 2 courses for £22, 3 for £26!
Lana ChoiNovember 26, 2017The surf and turf was really yummy. Def get the sticky toffee pudding for dessert
Wash down one of the best burgers in London with a stunning cocktail. All that in some amazing surroundings...has the feeling of a hidden away speakeasy.
L WApril 22, 2017Shaky Pete's ginger brew, fillet steak, macaroni cheese, tribute rolos. All amazing. I could go on...
James GoochMarch 19, 2017Impressive every time. Love the cocktails (especially the full fat old fashioned) and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.
Ignore the negative tips! The food is amazing. Burgers and hotdogs are great and the lobster roll is damn good. Great cocktails and music to boot.
Susie MarshallAugust 23, 2014If you can't decide on a steak, get the porterhouse to share - fillet and sirloin in one, you can't go wrong!
JaclynAugust 26, 2014Go round the side entrance to get to the bar downstairs; they have a cheaper but just as amazing food menu there
Rachel RothDecember 13, 2018It’s loud, but a delicious steak & make sure to get the peanut butter shortbread dessert
Baris OzdenMarch 10, 2017Very nice place to eat or to have a drink. Their snacks at the bar are awesome.
Johannes DriessenSeptember 20, 2014900g Chateaubriand between three is a delicious challenge. Ask for pisco sours - they'll mix up drinks that aren't on the menu
Without a doubt the best steak in London. Everyone knows it, too, so reservations are essential. Or do what @keithtiley and I do, show up for drinks and eat at the bar.
Jenny HunterApril 11, 2013Who needs the restaurant upstairs when u can get a kimchi burger and cocktails in the chilled out bar downstairs. Evening sorted.
Laura RaynerOctober 19, 2013Best steak iv ever had. Pricey, but worth it on a special occasion. Perfect for a romantic date to impress.
Martijn VerbruggenFebruary 28, 2017The restaurant was full so I had a burger in the bar. No regrets! Great service. Nice vibe.
- Tabitha StapelyNovember 10, 2012Er....the bone marrow gravy. Don't just save it for a steak. Order a boat of it with a burger, with chips, with anything. To die for.
Jeff MelnykMay 1, 2015I love the basement bar for the amazing kimchi burgers. It's a total hidden gem ... Shh!
No More HalosJanuary 11, 2019Fancy cocktails, tasty food, a bit overpriced though. The bar downstairs is great!
