Visited yesterday for the first time for mine & my partners birthday and it was amazing!! The food was beautiful and would not change a thing. The service was amazing and we never had to ask for anything including drinks. Will definitely be returning.
Bloody Good!
Amazing tail end steak & chips (+ Grilled bone marrow) part of early meal offer with a salad starter to die for! Photo shows empty plate because how can you review until you’ve eaten the meal! Good wine selection and friendly staff eager to help especially Charlotte who completes the 5 star dining experience!
I visited the Hawksmoor in Manchester for Sunday dinner. On arrival we ordered some cocktails, they had an excellent cocktail menu and all the bar staff were very helpful and accommodating. When we were sat at our table we ordered a starters of smoked salmon which was delicious and then the roast rib of beef to share. It was one of the best roast dinners I’ve hand and the beef was cooked to perfection. Again all the staff were extremely helpful and were lovely to talk to, not feeling like they were in a rush to get to the next table is a rarity. Will definitely be going back!
Although the bar has its own limited menu you can order from the main menu too. We made the most of it by choosing a range of dishes from across the two.
First up, ‘Short-rib Nuggets’. Fabulous deep-fried balls of melt in your mouth slow cooked beef with a creamy cheese centre.
Followed by ‘Short-rib French Dip’, also known as the best sandwich on the planet.
A sweet brioche bun stuffed with braised short-rib of beef, melted cheese and French’s mustard. Oh, and it comes with a pot of amazing bone-marrow gravy for dunking.
Excellent lunchtime visits on three occasions. Obviously steaks are what they are know for, but other dishes are excellent eg Smoked Salmon

It was because of the lightning fast typing skills acquired during her lessons that meant I was able to procure a reservation during Hawksmoor Manchester’s soft launch on my big brother’s birthday. This epic success has meant that I have now changed my rapper name from Vickilicious to Quick Tricks Vix***. My love affair with Hawksmoor began a number of years ago, when after a day at Wimbledon with my Mum I ate prettily pink rib eye and mushy sweet potato whilst she complained about how dark it was. Love turned into obsession after a visit to the Air Street venue where I scoffed salted rolos and sang old boy band songs. Their addition to Manchester is the best news I’ve heard since that of the demise of Bennifer, and that was a very happy day indeed. The building is impressive with a big open kitchen and old tiles adorning the walls. ‘It looks like a toilet’ proclaimed my mother, who was in a particularly contrarious mood that day, but she is wrong. Fitzpatrick Aviation - With a vimto edge Deansgate No. 2 Full Fat Old Fashioned - Made with butter. I like these guys. Local beer for local people Half price food meant we got a little bit silly. T bones were ordered without the slightest inclination to share, sides were abundant and sauces, plentiful. Scallops with Garlic Steak Tartare
'It won't work' they said. 'People won't pay for it' they barked. 'We already have steak houses in Manchester' they bleated. Well, it looks like every man and his dog have been so far, and utterly loved it. Wind your necks in doubters. Welcome to Manchester Hawksmoor.
It was absolutely imperative that I secured a booking for the new Hawksmoor soft opening. At 50% off the food bill for a few weeks, it was a bargain that I couldn't afford to miss out on. I like the way they organised this initial bedding in period. Instead of inviting the press, bloggers, blaggers and the usual suspects for a big freebie, they opened the booking via email for everyone to get an equal chance of a booking. As everyone who gets in is paying half price on the food nobody can accuse anyone of praising for free food. They had about two thousand emails initially. I heard nothing so presumed I'd not got in. I fired off another email asking for any weekday lunch early doors which we eventually got. Mrs B even took the afternoon off work. One thing I've learnt from reviewing so many restaurants on here for the last few years is to try and not second guess a restaurant. In this case Hawksmoor has been so anticipated it'd be easy to see it not living up to the hype as has happened to so many others ( Reds True BBQ was in hindsight, a disappointment, we've never returned). However everything here is absolutely fantastic on our visit. The food is excellent, completely faultless, the service is spot on too. We even love the beautiful interior. It feels like it's been here for years but the floor and wooden panels are actually reclaimed. (The tables are a little too close together for my liking but this will never bother us as we rarely eat out at peak times).
Excellent staff, superb food.
From the moment you walk through the door the service is very friendly and professional from the guys recommending cocktails in the bar to the extremely accommodating front of house. (Especially the lady with the forearm mandala style tattoo.)
We all thought our steaks were superb and the sides to match.
I have to admit that the Jungle Formula cocktail was the only thing I wouldn’t recommend. It was pretty disgusting but didn’t distract from the evening as the staff offered a replacement and were more than happy to mix a cocktail that wasn’t on the menu.
I was too busy enjoying everything to get decent photos. We will return.
Staff in Manchester Hawksmoor are outstanding - professional, polite, super friendly and recommended so much to us - local places to eat and drink, etc. - everyone was smiley and greeted us in some way as we moved through from reception, via the bar, to our table. Ambience and decor is also great! The food was incredible - mouth-watering fillet steak, glorious bone marrow gravy, delicious beef dripping chips (to name but a few); all perfectly cooked, decent portions, and one of our party, who has never been to Hawksmoor before, said it was “quite possibly one of the best meals” she’s ever had.
Amazing! Food service atmosphere...everything was perfect,scallops were so tasty 😋 steak cooked to perfection 👌 and the beef pudding was delicious 😋. The staff are so welcoming and pleasant, they make you feel welcome and are always around if you need anything... big thanks to Ryan!! You were fab. Will be going back and recommending to friends and family as well x
The best steak I’ve had. We had a selection each cut was cooked perfectly, so much flavour and seasoning and then melts in the mouth when eaten. The starters were great the pork ribs superb and the bone marrow was something a bit different. The service was good. Not bothered too much but very attentive and was there whenever we needed. The ginger beee drink we had was really good as well highly recommend.
Service was some of the best I've ever encountered from the moment I walked in to the moment I left. The staff were super friendly. Food was another level too, though wish I had tried the bone marrow now but maybe next time. The atmosphere was wonderful and everything was a lovely experience. My ribeye was served perfectly, seasoned better than any other steak I've had. The stilchten sauce was good and the chips were a good sized portion.
Bit pricey but you are paying for both quality food and quality service.
Popped in for lunch with my better half today. We are quite well versed in dining out, it's a shared passion.
We were served by a gentleman called Danny and he was thoroughly well versed in the menu, attentive and I actually thanked him for the experience before we left.
Food was exquisite, Diane sauce on the fillet with bone marrow and the brie mash... Those scallops too!
Images to follow.
One shall return.

First time here after a few friends saying it was great. Thought we'd treat ourselves for valentines. Definitely 5 stars, if I could give more I would. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left the staff were all friendly and attentive. Shout out to our server Carmen here as well. She was lovely with a great sense of humour! We went for the prime rib and a few sides. Meat was cooked to perfection and everything tasted great. Ace cocktails as well. It's a bit pricey but completely worth it!
Take a look at this beauty😍 A fantastic rib eye perfectly made medium rare.
To end the show we had a sticky pudding for dessert. It was stunning
Our waiter from Madrid was also fantastic.
Just posting my review now (this was from a few weeks ago). This place is absolutely amazing, I had heard great things about this restaurant but my expectations were over met for sure. The service was brilliant. The food was so flavourful and to be honest I’ve never had a better meal than it. The chips were to die for. The only note I could make is that the cocktail menu is too small, I would love to see more of a selection in the future.
Recently had the pleasure of dining at Hawksmoor, the second-ranked steakhouse in the world, and let me tell you, it was an honor to be there. I highly recommend the crab on toast and the beetroot salad – they were phenomenal.Now, onto the steak. While the taste was impeccable, I must admit the presentation was a bit lackluster. Just a plain piece of meat on a plate felt a bit underwhelming. A touch of gravy or some tomato slices could've really elevated the dish visually. Nonetheless, the steak itself was cooked to perfection (I ordered it medium).
However, soon after eating, I had to dash to the restroom, which made me question their cleanliness standards. Hopefully, they'll take extra care in the future.Despite that, it was amazing and I recommend anyone to visit here.
