What a find! Bit reluctant to write a review because it means I won't get a table reservation in future...it was that good. Service and friendliness of staff was spot on. Food, delicious, especially the empanadas and the quality of the steak was very good. Please don't change a thing!

I regularly eat at Hawksmoor for quality steak and great service. But the Apple pie currently on the dessert menu deserves its own special mention. Well worth the 1000 calorie ‘price tag’, it was amazingly delicious.

Loved the first experience at Blacklock :) The bone marrow was lovely, a great ambience in the restaurant. Quite lively. The Blacklock fillet was perfectly cooked, despite being a little too salty which we thought was unusual, but we had a lovely meal nonetheless... Great cocktails too!!! We will definitely return to try other cuts of the steak :)
