    We've been to Sunday Roasts in London and Ireland so we didn't know what to expect in Chicago. It EXCEEDED our expectations. We all had the Sunday Roast, so we can't speak about any other meal. The food was all delicious. It was enough to fill us, but not enough to make us uncomfortable. Everything was cooked to perfection and required no extra seasoning. We shared several desserts and loved every single one of them (sorbet, apple jack sundae, sticky toffe pudding - OMG - and the peanut butter louis). Would highly highly highly recommend Hawksmoor Chicago.

    Great family dinner last night at RPM Seafood… celebrated my wife and daughter’s birthdays with an outstanding evening. Loved the salmon and tuna apps; clam chowder, and Caesar salad. Entrees were excellent: halibut, miso cod, tuna all expertly prepared and seasoned. Whipped potatoes and mushroom sides were very good Loved our server and they comped us for a great chocolate gelato and mousse desserts. We will be back in the future for celebration events!
