About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for creative cocktails
Good for business meals

Welcome to Hawksmoor Chicago, where we bring our acclaimed steakhouse experience from the UK to the iconic LaSalle Powerhouse in River North. Our ethos is simple: ‘Buy the best and let it shine.’ We serve all-natural, pasture-reared, dry-aged beef from US family-run farms, cooked over charcoal and seasoned simply with sea salt. Our seafood, sourced from trusted Northeastern fishermen, is prepared with equal care.

In our 16,500 sq ft space, featuring barrel-vaulted ceilings and touches from the Golden Age of Travel, Hawksmoor is perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re stopping by for cocktails, a casual lunch or a special celebration, we make sure you leave full and happy. We also offer private dining for groups of 10 to full venue buy-outs for 500—ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and corporate events.

And don’t miss our Sunday Roast: dry-aged beef, beef-dripping potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and bone marrow gravy—something like a Thanksgiving dinner every Sunday.

Hawksmoor Happy Hour - $25 - 🥩&🍟
Feb 20, 2025 - Apr 30, 2025
Craving great food without the big bill? We’ve got you. Our team, led by Hawksmoor legend (and assistant general manager) Zach Ballard, has created a menu of top picks that'll hit the spot without hurting your wallet. From Steak Frites for just $25 to the Notorious B.E.E.F Burger, $2 Oysters, cocktails (all $13 or less), and even a meal deal that’ll leave you more than happy. The new Hawksmoor Happy Hour menu is available 7 days a week from 5 PM - 7 PM.
Sunday roast
Multiple dates available
Sundays at Hawksmoor are all about our Sunday Roast: all-natural, dry-aged, slow-roasted Rump served with crispy beef dripping potatoes, Caraflax cabbage and carrots, gigantic Yorkshire puddings, lashings of bone marrow & onion gravy and the option for a side of cauliflower cheese or slow-roasted bone marrow and onions. Sunday Roast dates back to the 15th century where large joints of meat were roasted on a spit over an open fire; to achieve a similar flavor, we start ours on our charcoal grill and finish them in the oven. Many who've had a Sunday Roast equate it to a Thanksgiving dinner – a comforting, filling meal that is best in the company of loved ones. And, should a Bloody Mary, or two, be consumed alongside it, who are we to judge?

Our server was wonderful. Dinner was excellent. We split a filet and it was cooked perfectly and sliced for sharing in the kitchen. We also ordered a rib eye and it was also cooked perfectly. The side dishes were excellent and we enjoyed the Caesar salad as a starter. The tiramisu is our favorite dessert. Thanks for a great evening

My first visit to this restaurant. I have to say that the filet mignon is one of the best that I have had in Chicago? My husband had the chicken and he said that it was fantastic as well. The bib lettuce salad was also memorable and the dressing was perfect. Our server Rachel was friendly and professional!

Hawksmoor brings its London steakhouse reputation to Chicago, delivering a solid dining experience but falling short of claiming the city’s best steak title. The steaks are well-prepared and flavorful, though with Chicago’s competitive steakhouse scene, they don’t quite stand out as exceptional. For the price, the portion sizes of the sides could be more generous, as they feel a bit small compared to other steakhouses at this level. The burger is average—not bad, but nothing memorable either. On the positive side, the service is attentive and professional, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable meal. The cocktails, however, are the true highlight—expertly crafted and well-balanced, making them a must-try.
