Quickly greeted and taken to our table, which was a nice booth overlooking the whole restaurant. It was a busy Friday evening and the service was excellent. The steak was cooked perfectly, and all sides were extremely tasty.
We came here for an anniversary but I'd recommend visiting for any occasion!
Will definitely return.
Thanks Hawksmoor.
Absolutely amazing. From the moment you step in the door, to the moment you leave the place is sensational.
The steak was flavourful, the cider cold, and the staff the right balance of friendly yet conservative. Yes, prices here are a lot higher than most restaurants in the area, but the steak was cooked perfectly to my liking, and was just right. Would absolutely recommend Hawksmoor to anyone. The menu is varied with some good specials on the boards too so a very good selection.
The only criticism I would have were desserts; a bit of a strange mix, and the sticky toffee pudding I had while delicious, it was insanely sweet to the point it was impossible to finish. But overall a really good choice for food in Liverpool. Come here hungry and you will not be disappointed.
Blown away by this place, prefect all round. The feasting Sunday lunch T-bone we had was simply amazing, Yorkshire pudding was huge and very tasty beef dripping roast potatoes were amazing, as was the veg and gravy. Service was very attentive without being pushy, and the wine and cocktails were beautiful. Desserts were spectacular. And to top it all off the building itself was a thing of beauty, very classy art deco.
Cannot recommend this place enough
Hawksmoor: a thing of beauty ✨
I’ve been checking Hawksmoor out since they opened & kept meaning to visit, but it never quite happened, so when I saw a rail strike deal on, aimed at incentivising people to visit on strike days, I thought… let’s do it!
🖼️ Hawksmoor, set in the historic India Buildings, is a stunning venue. There are parts of architecture from the old bank, and Ste remembers it being a post office too. Liverpool is fantastic at remodelling buildings but keeping parts of history visible- I think it’s fascinating! Hawksmoor feels luxurious and opulent, but still relaxed and friendly too, so it’s ideal.
On to the food!
🦪 I started with oysters, which were gorgeous. If you’re going fancy, you might as well make it count, right?
🥩We went for steak frites for our mains. I had mine medium rare and it was absolutely *divine*. The flavours were stunning & nothing was overly complicated. Ste upgraded to a fillet tail, which, turns out, is different to a fillet. He wasn’t hugely keen on the texture. I tried it too, obviously, and I thought it was also wonderful 🤷🏻♀️
🧀🥬🥔 The macaroni cheese was lovely, but my outstanding dish was the creamed spinach- actually heavenly and I was so sad it was finished 😅 The mash & gravy was also perfect.
🍓We shared strawberry pavlova and chocolate rolos, even though we were stuffed. They were delicious & I fully recommend overindulging like we did!
🍸We had (strong!) French martinis, a lychee martini, & a lemon sgroppino- my favourite. Tangy & refreshing 🍋🤩
Overall, I’d give Hawksmoor 5⭐️, absolutely no doubt about it. Straight into our top 5 steak places, and smashed Gaucho to pieces!
Had a wonderful time at Hawksmoor, Liverpool
We have been fortunate to visit a few Hawksmoor restaurants and Liverpool is lovely. The building is amazing and really Great Gatsby style, although there are a couple of stairs to access. It's no problem but will need to lift chairs / prams etc.
Service was great. We went on father's day and it did seem the restaurant was exceptionally busy, not that we minded, we like the atmosphere.
Food was great and just as good as every other Hawksmoor. Steak was plentiful and tasty. We had macaroni cheese, chips and mash alongside. It was all delicious.
The meat was slightly crispy on the outside, and the Macaroni a little over crispy for us. My thoughts were maybe it was under the light or due to such a high visitor rate, it was delayed coming off or out. However, this did not affect taste, the meal was still a delicious and it is certainly not a complaint.
A wonderful experience, friendly place and we would certainly return when we go back to Liverpool
Absolutely fantastic. Stacey and Lilia deserve a special mention as they're both wonderful. We celebrated our friend's 40th birthday and they treated her like an absolute queen!! The food was outstanding as was the service. The building is beautiful and makes for a really pleasant place to enjoy your food. The decor is classy and cosy. The rump steak was juicy and cooked to perfection and the peppercorn sauce was delicious. Highly recommend paying Hawksmoor a visit. I will absolutely be returning and telling all my friends and family too.
Best Sunday lunch I’ve ever had. Stunning restaurant with the most pleasant staff. Big shout out to Daniel on front of house and Kerry who served us. Very knowledgeable and great service. Can’t wait to return.
Great service from all staff, especially Luke who was looking after our table. Really made our experience special and we felt so looked after.
Food and drink where fantastic, great ambiance in the restaurant over all. Look forward to coming again!
Absolutely perfect bday meal. Had the rump steak, jersey potatoes and bearnaise sauce. Peanut butter shortbread. Food was well done and super tasty. Seasoned well, presentation simple and appealing.
The service was amazing, attentive and relaxed. We had a gentleman suggest drinks at the bar based on what we liked and a gentleman suggested wine for me also. Honestly attention to detail and knowledge of produce was great. Had the grenache red wine, light and nice fragrant wine.
The building is beautiful, decor was 1920s mafia joint comes to mind. Love it, dark and intimate.
Ranked 1st as the best steak in the world.
That’s a massive title but it didn’t disappoint!
So pleased with the overall experience!
Ordered the £16 Rump and Chips Lunch Deal, which offered till 3pm every day.
All their steaks are charcoal grilled, so giving it an extra grilled flavour.
The rump is beautifully seared. Love the fatty and tendon parts in particular.
Medium, temperature is spot on, pink in the middle! So good even without any sauce (£3) can taste the original beefy favour. Chips are so crispy too!
Love the friendly staff always smiling:)
Will come back. Building is extraordinary. historical!
Absolutely outstanding food and steaks. Our wonderful server Georgina was so friendly and kind we came back with friends in the same week. Scallops were epic and Porthouse steak was worth every penny. I had epic cocktails and the ambiance was relaxing and fabulous.
Highly recommended... Best steak restaurant in Liverpool 👌🍴😋. We even took a Doggy bag home for our fur baby who gave you 5 stars too. Thanks team at Hawksmoor.. We appreciate you 🌟🌟🌟🌟
The best place to get a Steak in Liverpool - it's great that Hawksmoor finally came to Liverpool 👍
The restaurant is inside India Building so the Decor is lovely, food is great, Service is quick, but some of the Waiting Staff lack any personality and sometimes lack basic manners.
It is a bit pricey, but well worth 😎
Finally, steak has arrived in Liverpool. Sure we've always had the odd rodizio, and Cowshed is decent up the other end of town...but now we have Gaucho and Hawksmoor within two minutes of each other.
But let's talk Hawksmoor.
What a building - really shows off Liverpool's history, and has been fitted out beautifully. Service is fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable and relaxed. Paid attention but didn't fuss, which is key.
The starters are phenomenal - get the potted beef or the smoked salmon - and the specials are good too (three oysters for £9? I'm sold).
They have an express menu with some great options. At time of writing it was £27 for three courses, which is a steal. Only available until 6PM and not on Sundays. Happy that it includes Saturdays for sure.
The fillet tail I got was cooked to perfection, and the staff recommended medium rare, which it was. Chips were decent but mash and creamed spinach are the right choices.
Went for the sticky toffee sundae, which rounded the night off nicely. Delicious, and with fresh ingredients.
£60 per person with some drinks? Bargain. Hawksmoor we will be back.
Excellent friendly service from the greeting onwards. It was really busy and there was a great atmosphere but service was very prompt and the restaurant is really well staffed. The venue itself is impressive and really lends itself to a special occasion. The food was outstanding and the express 2 or 3 course menu is great value for the quality on offer. potted beef & bacon with Yorkshires was a particular hit as a starter. The portions are very generous. We were a large party but we were all served quickly and together for each course. The atmosphere is lovely.
One of the best nights out I have had in a long time. Jake was our waiter and I can’t speak highly enough of him. Made our date night so special, really attentive, the BEST recommendations on food and drink and so lovely. Will definitely be back.
We booked for a Sunday lunch expecting this to be a good experience and we were not disappointed. We were recommended a couple of cocktail choices by our waitress Erin (I think that was her name!), a Sour Cherry Negroni, and a New York Sour, these were both excellent. The roast dinner was delicious, lovely pink rump with wonderful and generous sides. We ordered an extra creamed spinach which was very good. The pannacotte dessert was 👌 Will definitely be coming back. And my boyfriend also expects he will come here off the train in future just to get the sour cherry Negroni again ☺️
