An overall great dining experience. Friendly and attentive service, the ambience is light and airy even though the venue is in a basement. We were seated in a booth which we really enjoyed. Shared starters of natural oysters served with a zingy Asian style sauce (loved it) and scallops which were good but has a bit too much oil in the shells. Crab salad was very pleasant. The restaurant offers exclusively British meat. The flavour of my fillet was excellent, however it had a touch of too much charcoal for my taste. The inside though was cooked perfectly medium how I like it. The side dishes of cauliflower mash, chips and seasonal greens as well as bone marrow topping were perfect. Wine list offers a good selection even though it isn't overly broad. Certainly a restaurant I would return to.

Known for their tender and flavorful steaks, the Hawksmoor restaurant group’s location in Knightsbridge is perfectly situated near the museums and the renowned department stores, making it the perfect stop for lunch while taking in the sights, or as my friend and I chose to do, a dinner in style.

We opted to start with scallops, roasted over charcoal, which gave a nice hint of smoky-ness to them, accentuated by the white port and garlic-infused butter they were served with. Since we couldn’t decide on individual meals – we wanted a bit of everything as it all sounded delicious – we chose to share our mains.

First we ordered a whole steamed Brixham lobster, served with garlic butter. The lobster melted in our mouths, the texture perfectly light and buttery, and the garlic didn’t overpower the dish, but enhanced it.

Next we chose an amazing 1.3 kg Tomahawk steak lightly cooked to perfection! If you’ve never had a steak at a Hawksmoor restaurant, you’re truly missing out. We talked to the staff, which by the way were so outgoing and friendly, and learned that the restaurant only uses the finest British beef suppliers, using traditional methods instead of mass-produced farming. The steak was tender, rich, and honestly one of the best I’ve had in my lifetime. Served with triple cooked chips, the potato starch is exactly the right accompaniment to the perfect steak. I’m a sucker for a crispy, delicious chip.

Despite being so full from our delectable dinner, we opted to end on a sweet note, ordering the Ambassador’s Reception, a chocolate and hazelnut flavored pudding, reminiscent of a certain spread we’ve all enjoyed. The best part is they donate a portion of the sales to a charitable cause for world hunger. We also ordered the sticky toffee pudding, highlighted with a dollop of clotted cream.

Everything about Hawksmoor Knightsbridge was exceptional. A true culinary gem!
