Eating at Hawksmoor Steakhouse. NYC. One of the World’s BEST?

Competition is good, James. Keeps all the players honest. I just saw a food review of Hawksmoor London. The reviewer was ecstatic about the steak and sides. Thank you for all the classy, entertaining reviews you've given us this year. Merry Christmas to you, your dad, and all your family !

[@travelfuller]

We absolutely loved Hawksmoor! Easily one of our favorites in the city. We were pretty shocked by the number of commenters who said they had bad experiences there

[@Jamesnu]

Yeah, I read about some of the negative experiences people had. It surprised me too! I feel like Hawksmoor is one of the best steakhouses in the city.

[@realtalk5931]

Probably competitors

[@keithss67]

I have eaten several times at the one in Manchester. The food was better than average. But what made it special was the service. Very friendly and attentive, which is sometimes hard to find in the UK

[@Jamesnu]

Nice! Yeah, I thought that the service I had was on point as well.

[@JohnHausser]

Love your review, James! Always candid & helpful Cheers from San Diego, C.

[@Jamesnu]

Thank you so much!

[@NohSpinZone]

That looked like an outstanding meal, James. A new steakhouse in NYC really has to stand out to make it with all the other options available. Interesting that Hawksmoor made itself distinctive by sticking to the classics so well.

[@Jamesnu]

It was a great dinner for sure! Yeah, the restaurant did a great job standing out and setting itself apart from all the other steakhouses in NYC.

[@PeterMigliorini-x4o]

This was an excellent review. As you do so very often, you crafted an interestingly scripted storyline matched with wonderful visual shots to support your critique. In short, your reviews are always interesting, informative, & entertaining. Thank you for sharing with us viewers!

Their list of steak sauces were intriguing, I usually don't dress up a steak much but I'd be compelled to try those. And that creamed spinach looked like the best I'd ever seen, not too creamy.

Yeah, I know what you mean about the sauces. I'm the same way when it comes to steak, but their offerings sounded delicious.

Thanks for the video. Recently traveled to Greenpoint from our home in San Jose California. The highlight of our trip was a pizza eating a slice from L’Industrie pizza . We had a great stay at the William hotel . We checked in on NYC Marathon Sunday and walked two blocks to Bedford Av to watch tha Marathon go by . We were there when the female leaders went by . Amazing how fast their pace looked in person. I have a restaurant recommendation for you. Greenpoint Fish and Lobster on Nassau Av across the street from Amber Steakhouse. My wife is from Boston and loved the Lobster . I had the Lobster roll and it was comparable to the best i have had in Boston. Thank you for video. Merry Christmas.

Yet another stellar review James. Only area we differ is the use of sea salt. For me it is way too briny and dominant. I much prefer large grained Kosher salt but to each their own.

I had the opportunity to have dinner there, l ordered there oysters for a appetizer and a small soup, ordered a porter house and side of cream corn and bake potato, had a great bottle of wine….my bill came to $282. Which included a 20 % tip….after 2 hours l caught a cab back to my hotel….l came down with a sudden case of explosive diarrhea, the cab driver insisted l exit the cab, the smell was horrendous and l offered him a extra $100 to take me back to the hotel, l got to my room and took a shower with my clothes still on, l know some of you would find this disgusting but under full disclosure some of you can relate……thx

Last summer, I ate at Hawksmoor in Soho, London 3 times and each time it was a great experience.

[@Jamesnu]

Nice!

[@DavePruett]

A Hawksmoor opened here in Chicago earlier this year. We went in August. It is also a beautiful restaurant-clearly the same basic design as the NYC version. Service, cocktail, sides, were all amazing. Interestingly, we felt the steaks (NY Strip) were the weakest part of the meal. We love dry aged steaks and will order them almost any time they are available, so that wasn't the issue. They just seemed a bit dry and not super flavorful. We do need to try it again, as every other aspect of the experience was phenomenal.

[@infinitelimitlesslightx5437]

The dessert looks yummy Greeno was too full for dessert ❤!

I don't understand that steak by the ounce menu. Does the price per ounce vary? Depending on what? I'm confused.

[@Jamesnu]

Depending on the cut, each steak has a different price by the ounce. For example, the T-bone was $5 for an ounce. So, I would see on the chalkboard the sizes of the T-bone the restaurant has on offer for the night, and multiply the per ounce price accordingly.

Great review, coming to NYC from London in Feb and have booked Hawksmoor 13th Feb, I might just order what you had, it looks excellent, but being British, going for chips as well. Just to say I did look at other Steakhouses but they all look like something from the 70s, I get the history of those places, but wanted to go somewhere slick, and Hawksmoor definately looks slick.

Glad you liked it. I had a very similar meal there last year. Still curious to see how you like it compared to Quality Meats. I slightly preferred QM, but I had a traditional strip steak there. At Hawksmoor I wanted something a little different so I had a cast iron steak, can’t remember the cut, with skirlie, which was basically onions, oats, and bone marrow. Not really an apples to apples comparison.
