Best Wine Bars in Melrose Park

We had a great time. Our server was amazing. We were celebrating our parents 55th Wedding Anniversary. They brought us vivante non-alcoholic wine since they saw my parents don't drink.

It was our first time dining at Hawksmoor and the food and service did not disappoint. As soon as we checked in at FOH, we were warmly greeted by the staff. We arrived about 20 minutes early for our reservation and we were asked if we could sit at the bar for the time being while they make sure guests with earlier reservations were taken care of. We were shown to the bar & ordered drinks at the bar but about 5 minutes in, our table was ready so the bartender brought our drinks to us. Rachel & her colleague (whose name escapes me) took really good care of us. They were attentive during our time there and made sure we were comfortable and had what we needed. My husband and I both ordered the Sunday roast and it was delicious. At first, my husband was thinking it wasn't going to be enough food since there were 2 slices of the roast but in the end, it was the right amount. The beef was tender and flavorful especially when we smeared roasted garlic on. The gravy was delicious so much so that Rachel ended up giving us an extra helping of the gravy. The roasted carrots were tender and sweet, the roasted potatoes had this crispy exterior and creamy interior. The Yorkshire pudding was a good size and delicious. My husband ordered the sour cherry america(no) mocktail and it looked like an old fashioned, I had a sip (or two) of his drink and it was delicious. I ordered the Five Alive cocktail and it's one of my top favorite cocktails. For dessert, I ordered the hot chocolate tart with brown butter ice cream and my husband had the peanut butter Louis. He said his dessert was splendid. It appeared hard to cut but it was not. He said it was creamy and had the perfect level of sweetness. The hot chocolate tart was the same thing, perfectly baked and the sweetness was just right. Even the ice cream that went with each dessert complimented them perfectly. We will definitely be back to Hawksmoor.

we went to celebrate our anniversary and valentine’s day, and it was an incredible experience. our waiter was hilarious and attentive, we were gifted glasses of prosecco in celebration as well. the ambience was incredible and the food was delicious, we’re already planning on coming back !!

Perfect neighborhood bistro spot. The wait staff is attentive and friendly. Cocktails are incredibly well made. Absolutely loved the chickpea fritters and the cassoulet. Really romantic vibe for a quiet Valentine’s Day dinner!

Best restaurant hands down! No wonder it won the title of best neighborhood gem. Everything about the place is great.... food... atmosphere... staff. Wonderful way to spend the day!
