Hawksmoor Manchester

We went to the Hawksmoor for my husbands birthday. The staff were fabulous and lovely to talk to. The food was amazing! They even threw in a little dessert for my husband for his birthday.

Absolutely loved the food, service was amazing! Only thing I would change was the drink options, the gins on offer were all very similar and beers were limited

All food was excellent as was the service, not cheap but quality seldom is.
Only gripe for me was the lack of standard beers, I’m not keen on “craft” beer but more establishments seem to be offering this nowadays.

As always, the food was outstanding met with amazing service from the extremely friendly and attentive staff. Easily my favourite place to eat in Manchester. Thanks guys!

Brilliant food . Very helpful and well mannered staff. A delightful night

Lovely food except the steak ironically, one very over cooked and the other had a thick piece of gristle

Service excellent, cocktails delicious as were the starters and sides

The room was too noisy to talk without raising voices and leaning in over the table

Good cocktail recommendations by our server, great atmosphere, fantastic steak. We left with full, boozy hearts - what more could you want? Only negative - we were too full for pudding! X

Beautiful meal that we didn’t want to end! Traveled from Nottingham and it was well worth the journey!

Food was fantastic, a real treat, service excellent

If you like steak and appreciate a premium product - whilst being ready to accept the associated price tag - then this is the place for you. Perfectly cooked porterhouse on the bone, friendly, attentive, but not overbearing service, and a very good sticky toffee pudding to end with all added up to a great dining experience.

Thank you, as always, for a great experience. My niece and I were celebrating some great news she had received and she wanted to celebrate in style at Hawksmoor! From front of staff to our lovely server, we were very well looked after and you made the day special. The fillets and sides were excellent and the chocolates were a nice touch. Thank you.

Hawksmoor Manchester was, overall, very good.

The ambience was just right and the cocktail bar before dining was lovely. The drinks were beautifully mixed with a great range including many different Gins.

Our food was faultless. The chateaubriand was excellent. Medium rare was just right. Puddings were very good. The sticky toffee pudding (swapped the clotted cream for salted caramel ice cream) was divine. I would recommend the old spot ribs with a tangy citrus salad on the side - very good indeed.

Unfortunately our first bottle of Rioja was corked. When I declined to accept it our waitress left with the bottle only to return and tell me that their “expert” had decided there was nothing wrong with it. I pointed out it smelt “off” and tasted like vinegar and we would not be drinking it. Off she went again and then returned with an apology, stating that the said “expert” had a bad cold and that he may have got it wrong! The “expert” has suggested we choose a different wine if we “didn’t like” the Rioja. I explained that it wasn’t that we didn’t like it, it was corked and we would not be drinking it, but we would like another bottle of the same wine, ideally not corked. Finally a new bottle was presented and opened. It was perfect. An ideal accompaniment to the delicious chateaubriand.

Overall we did enjoy our dining experience. Great food and a vibrant atmosphere. Perhaps a little training / refresher needed on how to deal with corked wine, but other than that a very good evening.

Dinner here last night. Beautiful surroundings in which to dine. Service was incredible. Wine was a little disappointing and the 300g Rump steak was extremely flavoursome but never 300g and rather grisly and had to be left. The anchovy hollandaise was delicious as too was my partners Peppercorn Sauce. Her Rib-Eye was definitely the better choice. Starters of ribs and Crab on toast were also very tasty and we'll presented. Unfortunately a small piece of shell was left in the crab meat. Would I still go back with so much choice in Manchester...possibly not.

Food was ok and the place very nice. However we should have read the bill better because the bill stated 5 guests and 6 main courses and there were only 4 of us!

Never fails every time we go it’s fabulous
Casual but formal atmosphere. Staff always very attentive but never in your face. Food excellent no-matter which steak you choose we went for a rump and a fillet this time and both were perfect. Roll on next visit

Had the best steak we’ve ever had and we’ve had steak all over the world!!

Service fantastic, really can’t recommend enough!! I live in Aberdeen but I’ll be back!!

Absolute gorgeous place unreal food highly recommended

Beautiful Sunday lunch. Can’t wait to return. Staff are so friendly and helpful.

Went on Sunday Fathers Day, a lovely day no one could have done more.

Always an enjoyable experience here. Great staff and amazing food x

Wonderful food, wine and service. The Sunday lunch is the best

I booked based on the reviews, knowing that I would be visiting Manchester and I’m pleased to say it did not disappoint!

Even though they were busy, the service was outstanding - attentive without being intrusive.

At the encouragement of the waiter, I ordered the Sunday roast. Every aspect of the meal was amazing - from the succulent beef to the perfect sides. My only regret was that I didn’t have space for dessert!

I cannot recommend this place enough.

Service and food second to none. Can't fault any of it and cant wait to go back. Deffo top of my list.

The food was fantastic, the service excellent. It was very busy and so very noisy, which I struggle with, but it was worth it!

Excellent.

Fantastic service, staff and food.

Set Menu is brilliantly priced considering the high extremely high standard of food.

Will be back.

Had a great meal at Hawksmoor - had the rump and chips lunch special with fried eggs and onions. Had salted caramel ice cream and salted caramel rolls with a coffee. All courses to a high standard and friendly and helpful service. Best in Manchester!

Celebrating my daughter Evie finishing high school, we had a one of the best steaks we have ever had. Melt in the mouth and cooked to perfection.

Perfect venue to meet friends for a catch up dinner. Had summer set menu which offered good choices and excellent value. Friendly and efficient staff made for lovely evening.

The service we received from Grace was outstanding.
We let her choose the wine and what a fantastic choice it was aswell. Food was brilliant, very well cooked and presented.
What a great evening we had.
Well done to all the team there.

Always a warm welcome at reception
Waiting on staff very informative and enthusiastic. The food really is amazing. The best steak. On a parr with a lovely fillet we had in Florence !! The ambassador needs to be bigger !! All in all we will always be back 👌

Our waiter was so helpful and attentive without being over bearing, food was amazing and we will definitely be back.

Hawksmoor needs redecoration & the food is ok but not at the standard you would expect for its reputation & prices charged. My second visit so not based on a one off experience.
On the plus side, the atmosphere is excellent on a busy night.

The food is excellent... I am yet to have a bad meal in their, tbh I don’t think it’s possible. The environment suits every type of character.

Looking forward to my next visit in 6 weeks

Excellent menu and service

A massive thank you to Charlotte Roberts for her superb customer service when we visited on 10/06/2019. Charlotte turned my day from 😭 to 😌
Also thank you to our wonderful waiter - sorry I don’t know his name, but he was friendly, very knowledgeable about the menu, and had a lot of pencils 😂😂😂
Wonderful visit, highly recommended!!

Lovely food to celebrate our first meal together after getting married. We were given complementary champagne and dessert which was a lovely gesture from the staff. Would definitely recommend.

Loved the reminder via email day before to confirm we were coming. Arrival was fine, chartered to our table, wasn’t told about any thing about how it works or if there was any specials or even if we wanted a drink? - there was stuff on the chalkboard that looked interesting but seemed confusing and that wasn’t explained to us either - especially the cost of the meat cuts - that Egyptian Algorithm blew me head off - also our drinks arrived when our starters did 15 mins it was, I dont like the cans of lager to be fair - throffy coffee Syndrome - Steak lovers prefer Pints (get that sorted ASAP) Toilets were fab, clean and fresh which mirrored the kitchen hopefully - Food though - wow! Top drawer - the Sunday Roast £20 - but was like epic ! How do they do that? Apart from the let down at the beginning - we will go back! For starters we had Green Pea Salad and Belly Pork! Wowzer! Meal in itself that was but we struggled on! Not sure the Pints complaint now was a good idea - the Wife had the Sunday roast Beef and I had Sirloin Steak for mains - oh and Cauliflower Cheese 4 two - we dipped out having a pudding! We were having food babies! Yes Food Babies! right in the heart of Manchester! Put this place on yer bucket list folks ! Forget I mentioned Pints by the way!! Loved it 👍🏼🙋🏻‍♂️❤️🍺

Pricey, but you get what you pay for! The steak was amazing! There are cheaper options available (lunchtime offer of rump and chips for £15.50!) we had a lovely time for our 2nd wedding anniversary, and they even wrote happy anniversary on our deserts! Would highly recommend!

Second visit and both times have been amazing. The service is so good and I have always worked in restaurants and the staff at the Hawksmoor are the best I have been served by. The food is lovely and everything is great. I will be back :)

Best steak I’ve had in a while!
Also had the lamb chops for starters and the giant ambassador’s delight which also didn’t disappoint. Couldn’t fault it and I can’t wait to go back!
