As a steakhouse afficionado, I very much appreciate the reasoned tenor and first-rate quality of this review: impartial, measured, nuanced and properly focused. While specifics were adduced, the narrative assessment remained holistic and ideally outward-facing. I, for one, have an immutable attachment to Delmonico's; still, following two recent visits to Hawksmoor, I am led to concur largely with your solidly-grounded appraisal. Kudos!

Thanks so much. We appreciate the kind words. I have enjoyed Del Monico's as well, though it has been some time since I have been. I need to return soon for a visit.

My next steakhouse stop will now be Hawksmoor. The notorious beef burger looks amazing. Looking forward to trying the best burger in the city. The building is gorgeous as well! Would love to see your future steakhouse reviews. Specifically COTE.

Thanks so much!! I appreciate the comment. Definitely try out the Notorious Beef asap. It was supposed to be a temporary addition to the menu but its so popular they keep extending it. I definitely want to review Cote eventually. However, stay tuned for my visit to Undercote soon. Its the speakeasy below Cote and they also serve some of the same steak cuts as Cote upstairs.

Good Video. Hawksmoor is currently our go to steakhouse in NYC. We have been to Minetta Tavern, Keens and Craft multiple times, and Hawksmoor is right up there. As far as the cocktail program, my wife had something that was practically undrinkable - way too flowery. For me, I tend to be pretty classic: gin and tonic, martini or a Negroni, all of which were excellent. We drink wine with the meal, and they have an excellent wine program, as well as $10 corkage on Mondays. I am curious, what steakhouses have you been to Manhattan?

Thanks so much! I really appreciate the comment. I have been to Keens, Gallaghers, Old Homestead, Benjamins, Wolfgangs, Del Monicos and in Brooklyn Peter Lugers. I deftinitely want to try out craft. Im glad to hear you enjoyed there classics. I love a good Negroni. I wonder which drink it was that your wife tried. The only drink I havn't liked from Hawksmoor was a reddish pink drink from a few menus ago that was to sweet. However it was my own fault because the bartender warned me lol. I will have to try there wine sometime. I really enjoy the Manhattan as well. If you like Manhattans definitely give it a try.

It is British. It's good. I'm happy it is now in America.

Interesting to hear as I believe Hawksmoor has been on a steep decline in London for years now.

Thats interesting. I cant comment on the London locations, but I have enjoyed my visits here in nyc.

Here too, most inconsistent cooks I've ever been served was my last experience there. Forget how bad they botched the t bone, the lamb chops came as three and each one was a different cook. One was completely rare, one was medium and the other was well done. We ordered it all medium. This spot was trash

Looking at that cocktail you got with the steak...that big cube of ice...classy but takes up a lot of space and doesn't leave much room for the booze. My guess, as a drinker, I wouldn't be happy there. They likely measure the alcohol and aren't good pours. Grey goose, rocks, lemon wedge is probably a tiny pour and rip off for what they charge. Overall a negative there and I've eaten there several times...just never done drinks. Now probably won't.

Thanks for the comment. I’m sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy your meals there. I’m curious. Was it the steak? Service? Or something else. I appreciate wanting to get a good bang for your buck when it comes to a drink. As for the strength of the drinks I think it depends on what you order. However I have never had an issue with them being weak. I would definitely have mentioned it if I did. I do believe that Hawksmoor usually measures and gives you a 2 oz. pour for liquor neat, on ice or with a mixer. As for the cocktails those can vary and actually be stronger. Their Manhattan is strong. In fact I find most Manhattan variations to be the best bang for your buck since they contain 3-3.5 oz. of alcohol and are traditionally served up. Maestras Martini was also pretty strong as was the old fashion. I don’t think the big rock effects the Amount of booze any more then a large amount of small rocks would. If they use bar ice then they would just use more or a smaller glass etc. I will say that while it looks great, the large clear ice is not just for show. They are also used because they melt slower and thus don’t dilute your drink as quickly as the smaller cubes. However you can ask for a pour on the regular ice if you would prefer. I saw several people do that.

Oh also Amber in Brooklyn which is like Peter Luger but much better.

@user-or6yn8pm3c 3 күн бұрын

Keens would probably beat it. That place is AMAZING. Especially their Prime Rib and Mutton Chop.

@BoozyExplorers 3 күн бұрын

Thanks for the comments. I have tried Keens, though it has been some time. It was excellent. I slightly favor Hawksmoor overall for the reasons mentioned in the video. However I need to pay Keen a visit, since I havnt for some time. Maybe its recency bias. I would love to try Amber. I am not familiar with them. Add another one to the list lol

Enjoyed the video. Not sure how recent the footage of the neighborhood was, but I noticed that there was a lot of trash piled up on the sidewalk. I thought NYC put an end to that, due to rat infestation.

Im so glad you enjoyed the video. The footage is pretty recent. I filmed on a Monday which is trash day. I know they passed a new law that starts mid November, however I am not sure about the details. Since NYC doesnt have that many alleys it will be tough to completely avoid trash on the streets. They have started to get rid of many of the outdoor dining sheds which I am sure will help. The deadline was black Friday I believe.
