Hawksmoor Seven Dials (Covent Garden)

• The field mushrooms were truly excellent and I could have merrily eaten a dish of them as a starter on another occasion
• Yes their third burger changes with each season
• It was one of the first places that I organised a dinner at with my friends
• Back when there was only the single branch on Commercial Street in Spittalfields
• Stories of Hawksmoor having the best steaks in London
• Cooked by an impressive beast of an oven in a space formerly occupied by a kebab shop were what drew me there
• What good is it if the fine dining scene is spectacular but the street food scene is uninspiring
• I've always loved burgers and it is a meal pretty much everyone enjoys and loves so I thought it would make the best test of the culinary foundations of London
• I have tried to capture all sorts of atmospheres with the restaurants from the burgers made in the dingy corners of Soho to the more decadent burgers made in glamorous Mayfair
• BAR BOULUD This was my second visit and fortunately
• We had a porterhouse and rib eye which meant there was a fair bit of bone in the weight
• So the portions were just perfect
• The unexpected surprise for me was dessert best apple pie I have had ever
• Crumbly sweet pastry with delicious apple filling (no sultanas) and a hint of salt
• The presentation is rustically appealing
• The marrow was cooked beautifully
• Hawksmoor seven dials was not easy to find and the front door came you the impression of a private club
• Once you push open the big door there were friendly staff welcoming you
• You came to a bar area where you can sit with friends to have some drinks while waiting for a table
• The restaurant area is very spacious and has deemed lights
• Note that the Sunday roast is not on the menu but on their board on the wall
• Bone marrow with caramelised onions and Caesar salad
• It came in big portion so recommend to share with at least one other friend
• The Caesar salad was a huge let down
• Dessert we had sticky toffee pudding with clotted cream
• Overall it was a great first authentic Sunday roast experience
• They sided with the waiter and thought it best to focus on the steaks
• The restaurant was about a quarter full so the service was spot on
• The wine I initially picked was out of stock so was recommended what was my next choice
• It is straight forward that if you want the best steak around London just hit the Hawks
• Washed it down with Macallan Gold
• I had lunch there with some work colleagues it was our end of year / Christmas team lunch
• I had also heard for years how the Hawksmoor burger was up there with the best in London
• I like my meat rare and I made sure to ask this was fine with the chef
• The burger I actually received was so far off the mark it was almost comical it must have been medium/well done dry
• In their defense they gave me another one which was better and didn't charge me for it
• My colleagues had fillet steaks cooked rare and these were cooked correctly
• Whilst they said it was a good steak
• I think the restaurant is popular with those on company expenses where cost doesn't matter
• The rib eye was so tender and moist
• Beer and fresh lemonade are a good choice to go with your meal
• If I dare say this that if you are wondering where to have 'the perfect steak' around London then simply hit the 'Hawks'
• It is the Holi trinity of how a steak is conceptualised and then made to perfection and most importantly how one feels after having those
• We've always wanted to try a good steak place and I can definitely say I was not disappointed at all
• We decided to share a huge chunk of porterhouse with some beef dripping fries
• My boyfriend had the peanut butter shortbread with salted caramel ice cream
• The staff are super friendly and the atmosphere is quite laid back
• The picture wasn't the best but there's plenty of pics from Hawksmoor on the app so I don't think it'll make much difference
• This dining experience was second to none
• This drink was refreshing and lovely with a huge wedges of fresh fruit around the rim
• We started with half a dozen oysters
• We almost ordered another half dozen coz they were so good but I'm glad we didn't for what was to come could have fed a small family
• This was definitely the best steak I've ever had
• There's no point in talking about how tender the meat was or how crispy the fries were
• What I will say is the entire steak experience was ethereal and carnal
• Just an amazing cut of beef cooked expertly and served with the perfect sides
• The steak itself was almost £
• The entire dine was just under £
• He said most people come on dates and order from the menu and on occasion you'd have large groups order from the butchers board which ends up with each person having a small amount of fantastic steak
• We managed to waddle out of the restaurant with huge smiles on our faces
• I wanted to try one of the best steaks possible
• I don't believe that you are paying for the quality of the food
• Had the fillet and it was cooked to perfection
• We were quickly seating and presented with the menu and drinks
• One of the hidden best kept treasures of London
• A wonderful place with superbly done interiors
• Fine dining also with some great options in the comfort food
• Wide variety of snacks that can be enjoyed with some hot coffee too
• We had to have Yorkshire pudding with gravy on the side
