Prime British cuts, seafood & classics in striking environs.

























"I love sipping the Full-Fat Old Fashioned at the Chicago branch of London's Hawksmoor; it's made with Michter's Rye and fat-washed with a salted brown butter that adds a creaminess to balance the rye, and the dark wood furnishings and old-world ambiance complete the experience." - Lisa Futterman
"A well-regarded restaurant-bar hosting a one-night takeover by Shingo Gokan’s Sip & Guzzle; the space emphasizes a Japanese-American duality with a high-energy bar room offering Japanese beers, classic highballs, and crushable cocktails alongside a refined room with a formal cocktail program, and has earned industry honors including Best International Restaurant Bar recognition and a recent James Beard semifinal nod for its New York beverage program." - Lisa Shames
"The Chicago location of this British steakhouse has a variety of private rooms upstairs that are great for any occasion. But for folks who just want a simple reservation, this historic building — the former Michael Jordan’s — is large enough to accommodate any boisterous group." - Samantha Nelson, Eater Staff

"This British steakhouse set inside a three-story landmarked building is going all out for its first NYE celebration starting with a glass of sparkling wine and featuring a set menu of dishes ranging from charcoal-roasted scallops and Carolina-spiced pork belly to beef rib with sides to share. Reservations, available on OpenTable, are $130." - Lisa Shames, Eater Staff

"We recently checked out Hawksmoor and added it to our Hit List. This steakhouse has been a London institution for long enough (with enough locations) to have lost some of its intrigue on the other side of the Atlantic. But we’re still very excited for Hawksmoor: River North edition, especially because our colleagues on the East Coast named their outpost one of the best steakhouses in NYC." - john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
