Hawksmoor Dublin

Came here during their Sunday roast menu with a friend and came away with some mixed feelings. In terms of negatives, I thought the service was a bit below average and the staff were somewhat hard to get a hold of. They were friendly but not really attentive. As for the food, my friend got the Sunday roast and said it was nice, while I had the Wellington with the mash and Mac & Cheese. The Wellington wasn’t what I expected and was more like a pie with mince meat and a ton of mushrooms. Nice crust but overall not that great. The mash and Mac & Cheese I also found quite average, which is really disappointing for the price you’re paying. Now in terms of positives, the venue is stunning, in a beautiful building with really nice decor. The wow factor was there as we walked in. The most redeeming thing for me were the desserts, they were spectacular. The Peanut Butter Louis was so so good, and the ice cream it was paired with was divine. My friend tried the sticky toffee pudding and thought it was also really delicious. Overall, the meal ended on a positive note but the overall experience just isn’t worth the cost in my opinion.

Visited Hawksmoor for the lunchtime offer and it was incredible. The building is stunning and the service was fantastic. We both opted for the potted beef as a starter- the accompanying gravy was the best I've ever had. We upgraded to filet tail for main and this was cooked to perfection. For dessert, one had apple pie with custard and the other had sticky toffee sundae. We wanted to visit again during our time in Dublin because it was that good but unfortunately time didn't allow. This is a must do!

Everything was fantastic. The stuffing is the star if the show, DO NOT miss out on the stuffing!!! My wife and I both got the Sunday roast with a shot of whiskey and a pint and it was just what the doctor ordered. Meat cooked well, plenty of food, and the quality was on point. Would do it again!
