    We ate at Hawksmoor Air Street before the theatre. The staff were great from the moment I arrived. Very welcoming and approachable. We told our server that we needed to be out by 7pm and they did their best to keep our dishes coming quickly. The set menu is lovely - almost all of us opted for the rump steak and the potted beef to start. Nothing was left on the plates it was that good! Steaks cooked to perfection, unctuous sauces and those chips! It was our friend's birthday and despite not having any room or time for dessert, he got a scoop of ice cream on a decorated plate with a candle for us to sing happy birthday! Much appreciated. Always a great experience.

    Fantastic food - relatively limited menu but prepared extremely well. Where do you see chops these days? Open late so perfect for post theatre dining and with the most helpful and friendly staff you'll encounter anywhere. Not the cheapest place to eat but still good value for the overall experience.

    They charge me for the service as discretionary but they insist I should pay it because the service was good.
