The Sublime Society Room
A room dedicated to the actors, artists and songsmiths who founded the Sublime Society of Beefsteaks back in 18th Century London. Part members’ club, part secret society, this boho group met weekly to consume vast quantities of beefsteak and booze – just punch, port or porter, no fancy French wines allowed. Before long, everyone wanted in. Even the Prince Regent (soon-to-be King George IV).

Third Hawksmoor and just as good as the other visits. Service superb, food and drinks always impress. Especially the MEAT and the beef dripping chips, yummy. Visited for a Sunday Lunch service. Only niggle is the space between tables as very busy and noisy. I did ask about a loyalty card, but alas not! Will be trying another when we're next in London.

The food was amazing and everything was full of flavor. Everyone's steaks were cooked to perfection and the sides were all delicious too. The service was good and the staff were very attentive and kept topping up our water and ensuring that everything was ok. Although it was a bit pricey, it is in central London and we were all very full at the end.

One of those places where you can sit down in a fancy places, order a high quality steak and some wine, and enjoy the evening. The steaks are absolutely delicious: cooked to perfection, exactly how we asked. Very high quality cuts! The sauces were super on par with the quality: the bearnaise is one of the best, and I personally love the peppercorn. The fries were a bit disappointing: had a lot of super small pieces, nothing extraordinary with the taste. And to send it all with a blast.. the desserts were out of this world. We got both the sticky toffee pudding and the peanut butter and it was so hard to decide which was better.. super flavourful, many compliments for them :)

Came here for a birthday treat. The wine we had was delicious as was the food. However I think it was quite expensive for what is was which is why I gave it four stars as I'm not sure I would go back again. The pork rib special was great though.

The space is very inviting and the service was exceptional. The food was decent but not remarkable. The steak was a well cooked medium rare but the outside was scorched. Scallops were under seasoned. It was a good meal overall but for the price there are better options available in London.
