Lovely venue and Good Food but expensive. The Restaurant then apply a 12.5% discretionary tip. Our bill for 3 was £400 plus tip. I think 12.5% tip in the U.K. is ridiculous Tipping should be left to the Customer !

Ambience needs some work, it’s a lovely wide open space with beautiful old building features but it lacked a buzz and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Service was great, staff were very friendly and took care of us. We had the chateaubriand and all accompanying sides for 4 people. Sides were fabulous but the meat was not the best and was certainly not as good as I have experienced elsewhere in Edinburgh.

Great dinner. Super front of desk hostess who was welcoming and nice. The Macarel salad was lovely as was the oysters. Steaks were beautifully prepared and the cream spinach was to die for. Good wine list and the server was very professional and friendly. I liked the full, atmosphere and attentive staff throughout. Wonderful location too. Great place to visit.

A fantastic experience in Hawksmoor for our Sons graduation. Welcomed in and seated, and the menu explained to us. Did a combination of a set menu and also the main menus, which was alright to do. The food was well presented and very tasty. When ordering the steaks by the gram they helped out and mentioned what was suitable for our sharing. The piping on my sons desert of 'The best graduation' was a thoughtful touch, and on mine was 'the best ever' after we had joked with the server about it needed to be the best ever peanut butter shortbread. Our server Lucca was attentive to just the right amount, kept us topped up with our drinks and water and answered any questions we had. Overall a fab experience to finish off a proud graduation day

We were a table of three and overall had a pretty underwhelming experience. The host didn’t seem particularly welcoming, and service throughout the evening was slow. Each round of drinks took much longer than expected to arrive. Starters were the highlight — tasty and nicely presented. We shared the T-bone, ordered medium rare but it arrived more on the medium side. While not chewy, it was quite tough in places. It also had a strange flavour, almost as if it had been cooked in a pan that hadn’t been cleaned properly. My mum had the monkfish, which was cooked well, though the crumb on top was slightly burnt. Garlic mushrooms were disappointingly oily with no real garlic flavour. The half lobster we ordered was forgotten entirely. On the bright side, the tomato salad was delicious, and both the béarnaise and peppercorn sauces were full of flavour. The rest of the sides were a bit lacklustre. No one checked in with our table during the mains. We had to flag down different staff members to mention the missing lobster, to order more drinks, and eventually to ask for the bill. For a total of £350 and a 12.5 percent service charge automatically added, I expected far better. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend it.

The steak was lukewarm and improperly cut against the grain. Caesar salad didn’t have any dressing and was served interestingly.
