My friends and I had a great time. Service was excellent, and food was great as usual. On this occasion we ordered a set menu because we did not want to spend too much time deciding what to have. It was an error on our part as each of us did not like different things on the set. Not the restaurant’s fault but our own. The beef tataki is to die for!! We were sated and had a very enjoyable evening. Thank you! May I put in a request please…..to bring back the liquorice crème brûlée! That was your ultimate dessert.

I regularly eat at Hawksmoor for quality steak and great service. But the Apple pie currently on the dessert menu deserves its own special mention. Well worth the 1000 calorie ‘price tag’, it was amazingly delicious.

Stunning venue overlooking St Pauls. Flavours were amazing and presentation out of this world. Took my sister there for a long overdue girls night, Antonio was our server and couldn't have been more helpful and attentive.

Literally have zero faults with Blacklock. I’ve been coming here for years and I will continue to do so. Food, drink, service - all are phenomenal. It’s amazing that you can get so much good food at fairly reasonable prices that comes with some of the best service you’ll experience. 1000% coming back for more rounds of the All In and Cheesecake!
