    Our Server, Marie, was very friendly, attentive and excellent overall! The food was exceptionally delicious and abundant! For just being the two of us, we had to take four to-go dishes of scrumptious vegetables home and then the dessert as well because the chocolate layer cake was that much! Highly recommended for an outstanding dinner! Kudos to all the staff and especially the Chefs!

    My wife and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary at Hawksmoor last night. The ambience, service and the food were exceptional. For appetizers we had the scallops ( best dish of the night ) and the potted beef. For our main we went with the porterhouse for two and the beef fat fries. Steak was cooked perfectly and the fries were amazing. For dessert we had the pavlova and a anniversary surprise.
