Ahhh you lovely Hawsmoor folks, you still maintain a really high standard. There's plenty of competition around these days but my heart is with you. The service was friendly, attentive and personable. You didn't constantly refill my wine glass, pushing wine hard happens in virtually every restaurant these days, I hate it. You cooked the steaks perfectly. You made me feel like a king. Thank you. Good luck to you all as the wave of Xmas bookings hit you. Hang tough! Merry Christmas! Brook

Wow! Amazing location, love the decor and ambience. Service is impeccable. Gorgeous cocktails and tasty fresh, inventive food. Only feedback is that the portion sizes are tiny for the prices and cocktails are £16 and £17 so it is expensive. Other than we loved it and it’s dog friendly too.

Could not fault the service, the setting, or the food. Husband said it was the best venison he had ever had. Huge wine list - knowledgeable sommelier. A lot of French wine. Obviously not a cheap eat at all - 3course meal for 2 with bottle of wine, and 2glasses English sparkling came to £400.

Beautiful restaurant in the heart of Covent Garden. Great decor and atmosphere- cosy and comfortable. Set lunch was very good and excellent value. It was very busy and thus initial service was a little slow, but otherwise excellent, and no pressure to finish/leave (our booking was 2.00pm). Would definitely return.
