What people say, in short
People recommend Hawksmoor, and several commenters call the food good, with one naming the rib-eye steak and Eyemouth crab on toast within a wider list of recommendations. One commenter likes the venue, another the vibe, and one diner says they have never been disappointed. The main caveat is price: a few commenters find it pricey, and one warns it may go beyond a budget, though one notes a steak and chips offer at set times. One commenter found the steak frites pretty good but slow to arrive.
