   Hawksmoor has an excellent reputation, but I've had better ribeye steaks in less revered steak houses in Dublin. Setting and staff very nice. Wine was average. Sides very good. Sauce for the steak was very watery. Nice experience, but wouldn't go back.

   Prime Rib was very tough and a big fat cap. Waitress told us the prime rib was like a rib eye with lots of marbling but it was not what we got. Peppercorn sauce was tasteless and runny. Really wanted to enjoy but won’t return.

   The whole place and food is amazing. But there was a terrible sewage stench in the bathrooms. Like a portaloo at electric picnic.

   2nd but last visit. The experience has started both times with shockingly poor hosts. No sense of hospitality or service, they meet guests with utter disdain. Steaks are both over priced and over seasoned! The room is amazing but everything else is mediocre, it could and should be so much better.

   Very high prices for mediocre mains. Steaks very salty. Very small sides not worth prices. Wine list prices too high. Overall very disappointing.

    I visited Hawksmoor for my birthday, and unfortunately, the experience was a letdown. The service was incredibly slow, with long waits between courses, and at times, the staff seemed to ignore us. There was one particular waiter who we had to call for attention twice, but both times, he simply overlooked us. When it came to the food, it didn't meet our expectations. I ordered a medium-rare steak, but it came out burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. I sent it back, but when it returned, it was overcooked to well done and even more burnt. While they did offer a complimentary ice cream for my birthday, which was a thoughtful touch, it was marred by an unexpected "charity dessert" charge on the bill, something that was neither mentioned nor explained beforehand. The only saving grace was the ambiance; the restaurant had a nice, stylish interior, though it was a bit too warm inside for comfort. Overall, the experience was disappointing, and I won't be returning. Despite the lovely gesture for my birthday, the slow service and inconsistent food quality left much to be desired.
