We were in Edinburgh on a Sunday and had to experience a Sunday roast. The Hawksmoor was a terrific place for it. Be sure to book. Our server explained how to the Sunday roast ordering worked. We watched the kitchen work, while we waited for our meals. Our Sunday roast meals came with medium rare beef roast, crispy on the outside and creamy soft inside potatoes, carrots, cabbage, a head of roasted garlic, a very large deeply browned Yorkshire pudding, and the most delicious gravy in a small pot. Every drop of that gravy was eaten. I think that the Yorkshire pudding exists to be a vehicle for the gravy. I really did not need any dessert after all that food. But we wanted to share an ice cream. We asked what was clotted cream ice cream. The server explained that the ice cream is made with clotted cream, which has a fat content of 60% and there's no other flavoring. It is not a common ice cream flavor. So that's what we had. The tiny beads of fat in the ice cream was very interesting. It had a sweet cream flavor. The ambiance was upscale with a lot of wood on the walls and furnishings. But at least on Sundays, we saw a lot of families and friend gatherings and did not seem exclusive. read more

Visited Hawksmoor while in Edinburgh and wanted to treat ourselves. The atmosphere was slightly upscale, and the service was friendly, though at times a bit elusive. Tried the ribeye steak -- perfectly cooked, flavorful, and exactly what I was hoping for. My wife really enjoyed her chicken and sweet potato as well. Overall, a great spot and worth the visit.

Went in here for dessert and the hostess said they were completely booked. It was 5:30pm on a Wednesday and most tables were empty. She suggested eating at the bar, I said we would only be 30 minutes and she finally got us a table. Wow, talk about uninviting. Our server was friendly. We ordered the sticky toffee pudding with clotted cream and an Irish coffee. They weren't that generous with the clotted cream but the dessert was good nonetheless. The decor is not the greatest here, it looks like one big room with some booths in the middle and tables scattered throughout. read more

The service is five stars, absolutely. I got the hake and my husband got steak. We got a few sides like the asparagus, potatoes, and sourdough bread. All of our dishes were pretty good. The dessert banoffee pudding was wonderful! The other desserts were alright. The red wines by the glass were spectacular. All in all it was a solid dinner for a large party. read more

We came with family. The people are super friendly and kind. We had a bouncy table and they were able to accommodate us to another table. The menu options are very good. From oysters, to scollops and lobster to Britain grass fed steaks. We had chateaubriand and rib eye steaks. Both are aged and tasted superb. My only feedback is Chateaubriand was a bit overcooked for medium rare. But the rib eye steaks were spot on, tender juicy and nothing overpowering the flavor in its own way. We liked it so much we ordered another one. They cut to pupu style for family to share. Jasmin tea is impressive, floral and balanced. After a long journey from Honolulu, having this authentic jasmine team helped me relax 。 We finished the dinner with the sticky toffee pudding. It's phenomenal because instead of chasing for sugar sweeteners like most of the restaurant, this actually has a meaningful texture. The clotted cream balanced the rich lava chocolate toffee in a hint of lingering black sugar. The texture is divine between silky smooth and not so cake like not so pudding like mix. Not sure why it's named after sticky. I love it regardless. I'm in loss of word. I don't usually like desert but this was an exceptional work of art. My only feedback is the background music may require some attention, is a bit of loud, confusing for necessity, out of rhythm and counterintuitive to the intimate deemed lighting ambient and the focused fine dining theme. My two cents. I also purchased the Hawksmoor cook book. Well done. Overall, I highly recommended. I'd come back again. read more

Wonderful food, attentive server, and great atmosphere! Oysters were delicious and the bone marrow starter was enjoyed by my husband. Kids loved scallops and Sourdough bread as well. Surf and turf was also enjoyable and if you like burgers - prepare for a beautiful one! Double stacked. A bit on the pricier side but nice for a special occasion. read more

Nice interior, dark and clubbish. Knownfor steaks and great drinks. Friendly service, salesy but not too so. Bone marrow is unique. Always a good meal. Pricey. A nice treat. read more

What a fabulous dinner! We stumbled in here after being turned away from a few places because we didn't have reservations. They were so accommodating! The service was great. We had an Irish guy who knew the menu and was helpful in guiding our order. The drinks were amazing as well. And the food. THE FOOD!!!!!! It was truly stellar. The steaks and chops were perfectly cooked, the sides were also great and good portions. The baked sweet potato was an unexpected surprise. Very tasty, and im not typically a sweet potato fan. The building itself is very cool and the vibe was quietly upscale. Now, it was super spendy, please don't be surprised. But it was probably the best meal Ive had in the UK. Id absolutely go again. Wish I had pics to share, but they all include me stuffing my very happy face. read more

Ate here based on previous reviews and photos of food and as great as they were they didn't do it justice - Hawksmoor is a MUST visit restaurant in Edinburgh. I ordered the Sunday Roast and my wife ordered the filet mignon with a couple veggie sides. All was excellent. Perfectly cooked and delicious. Service was friendly and helpful offering recommendations as well. Quick service. The ambiance of the restaurant is amazing with its grand interior. Only complaint honestly was it was a bit chilly inside, but otherwise no complaints. If you're looking for somewhere to eat this has to be on your list! read more

Great ambiance! Drinks and Food were wonderful! Steaks cooked to perfection, and the sides did not disappoint.

It was the only disappointing meal we had in Edinburgh. It's very busy but felt like a mediocre chain steak house. Food was just ok.

Had a lovely Sunday roast meal here, and both my friend and I were very pleased with our experiences. Reservations are a must. We arrived and were seated promptly. The space is gorgeous, an expansive room with high ceilings that looks like an old-fashioned bank or trading floor converted to a classy restaurant. The service was friendly and quick, with everything arriving speedily. I had a lovely cocktail in a tall glass, made eye-catching by a tall ice cube to match the glass, with a sprig of chamomile frozen inside. Pretty! The food was excellent as well - tender roast, a decent helping of roasted veggies, and an enormous Yorkshire pudding. Everything was tasty, and although the place was busy on a holiday Sunday we weren't rushed and rather left in peace to enjoy our meal. Hawksmoor is certainly not resting on the laurels of its reputation. A super solid option for a decadent Sunday roast! read more

Great food and service. The steaks were cooked to our liking (medium rare) and the bone marrow side is enough for 3 people. The atmosphere and location were added bonuses. Definitely a place to add. read more

Beautiful restaurant, fun cocktail menu, good service- and oh the steak - let's talk about that steak for a minute- thick, juicy and full of flavor. The scallop appetizer was wonderfully garlicky, Cesar salad was fresh and tasty, the cream spinach was rich and the steak stole the show. The restaurant is in a beautiful old building, the music is good and the vibe is welcoming, all in all a great choice for dinner in Edinburgh. read more

Great recommendation! Wonderful atmosphere, amazing steak and seafood. Needless to say, top notch service as well!

I made reservations with Open Table and was able get a table for following evening. Staff friendly and felt very welcoming with our large group. Steak menu was confusing and priced per 100gm and left me a bit confused as how much to order but waitress clarified and we ended up with 2 large porterhouses, Wellington, crabs in toast, and few appetizers. Steaks was perfect and my children rated 8/10 when compared to Peter Luger. Spinach both creamy and lemon garlic was outstanding. I will visit NY site soon and compare them. Highly recommended!! read more

Great steaks! Service was incredible and we really enjoyed our evening. Get there early, as some cuts of steak run out later in the evening.

I love my steakhouses! Keene's in New York City, Gibson's in Chicago, Taylor's in L.A., Bern's in Tampa, now Hawkmoor's in Edinburgh, Scotland. Hawkmoor's is this lovely, dark traditional steakhouse that delivers it's fare with stylish exuberance fitting it's craft; and by craft I mean menu. Their menu reads like most top notch steakhouses, except with a dash of creativity. Take my delicious Caesar Salad for instance. It was so creative in it's structure it made it all the more appealing. Whole large sprigs of romaine lettuce drizzled with dressing, anchovies and Parmigiano cheese made it as lovely to look as just as lovely to eat. Our ribeye steak was cooked a perfect medium-rare with just the right amount of fat left on for flavor. Our beef dripping fries were crisp and distinctive; we gobbled them up . My glass of St. Emilion red wine went perfect with my steak and their lemon meringue pie was the classic ending to this remarkable dinner. As you can tell, I really loved this steakhouse. The service was attentive to all of your needs and the ambiance was - well steakhouse excellent. read more

It was okay overall. We enjoyed our dining experience in general, but I wouldn't go back on my next trip. We had the Prime Rib, and I felt the meat wasn't of the best quality--it was a bit chewy, and the flavor was flat and dull. The service, however, was perfect. The dessert was excellent, and the appetizers and side dishes were all spot on. read more

Excellent service and food Prime rib was excellent as well as the sides we had - creamed spinach, mashed potatoes and fresh tomatoes Sunday roast was also delicious read more

Has to have a Sunday Roast, Yorkshire pudding, and Stickie Toffee Pudding while in town celebrating our anniversary. This certainly is the best place to go. Very classy upscale atmosphere, exceptional service. Grand all around. read more

Hawksmoor is the spot for some good steaks and meat, so we made our way here for Sunday Roast. We had reservations for two at noon when it opened as we were led to our table right away. We both opted for the Slow Roast Rump (£20), which included beef dripping roast potatoes, a Yorkshire pudding, carrots, greens, roasted shallots & garlic and lashings of bone marrow & onion gravy. As soon as the plate was presented on the table, I was drawn to the perfection of the red-pink color of the meat of a nice medium rare. The meat was rather chewy (as I do wish it was more tender to cut into), but the accompaniment of the greens, garlic, and carbs created a well balanced meal. For what its worth, this meal was absolutely worth the money and classy atmosphere. I am definitely a fan! read more

Chicken dry. Service extremely slow. Took forever to get order taken, and then another decade to get food.

This restaurant was amazing, I would highly recommend it. The food was delicious and looked as good as it tasted. The service was some of the best we ever had while traveling Europe. The restaurant has that old upscale ambience you would expect a steakhouse to be, the Hawksmoore was a wonderful dining experience. read more

Nice place. Service was horrible but just our waiter. He stood against the wall, all chatty with another server. Meanwhile we were ignored from taking our order until we left. He should flirt on his own time. We had prime rib which was awful. At least 1/2 fat and gristle. read more

Very beautiful new offshoot of a very well-respected London upscale steakhouse chain. Domed traditional space has been beautifully restored. Starters were top notch. Gorgeous Isle of Moll scallops were sublimely sweet and fresh, served on their shells with beautiful garlic butter. Crab toast was gloriously crabby in all the right ways. My sirloin steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare and tasted of the best aged beefy funk. The bearnaise sauce was just ok. We shared sides of creamed spinach, mac and cheese, frites, and roasted mushrooms. All were good if not great. Dessert was a spectacular sticky toffee pudding. That sauce is like crack. Service was polite and very attentive. All in all, a very nice addition to Edinburgh's upmarket dining scene. Highly recommend. read more

This place is the epitome of what a steakhouse should be. They have a wide selection of steaks, roasts, and fish entrees with the classic sides, however their appetizers and service are what out them over the top for me. These owners know what they are doing and are able to consistently deliver the same high standard of experience and quality food both in Edinburgh and NYC read more

Friendly and helpful staff made for a smooth and easy dining experience. Service was excellent. Course recommendations by our server were on point and food was stellar. Highly recommend, and be sure to try get a cocktail apéritif. read more

Came here for dinner with another couple while visiting Edinburgh for the wkd. The atmosphere is really cool and looks like it was an old bank converted into a steakhouse. This restaurant was a bit pricier to some of the other restaurants in the city but definitely worth it. For my appetizer I got the crab toast. The toast had plenty of crab but it was not the most flavorful crab. The toast was spread with mayo and some other red spread, which I couldn't pinpoint what it was, with plain shredded crab placed on top. For dinner I got the fillet cooked medium. My steak was super tasty and cooked perfectly! The steak was about an inch thick. I prefer fillets that are a bit thicker vs thin but regardless it was delicious. We ordered gravy and mash and creamed spinach as our sides and they did not disappoint. The sides were a bit small compared to a NY steakhouse So if you are a hungry American that was walking around the city all day I would suggest you get more than one side. Lastly, for dessert I shared the sticky toffee pudding Sundae and it was delicious. I actually wish I didn't commit to sharing it bc it was that good. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a nicer dinner in the city. read more
