Hawksmoor Seven Dials Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "All of the food was packed with flavour, cooked to perfection and seasoned well."
• "The most impressive Yorkshire pudding with delicious sides and beef served as you requested."
• "They give you the opportunity to sample a huge selection of large cuts which makes it a lot more interesting than your ordinary rump steak."
• "We tried both the sticky toffee pudding and the sundae and both were absolutely divine."
• "The chateaubriand was the best beef dish I have ever had."
• "The prime rib which is my favourite cut with lots of marbling is so flavoursome."
• "The 300 gram sirloin steak (£39.50) was perfectly chargrilled with a dark crunchy exterior and a tender flavoursome interior."

Cons:

• "The Sunday Roast I had was totally not worth the price."
• "The steak was replaced with extra salty one."
• "The t-bone which took a long time to come out and when it did it was cold and not medium rare."
• "The ‘Medium rare’ beef was just over cooked and they are a restaurant specialised in steak."
• "Dishes were mostly good aside from my ribeye which appeared to come out about 2 inches thick and really not pleasant, lacking flavour."
• "The centrepiece, the t bone was hideously overcooked and far too tough to be reasonably enjoyed."
