Hawksmoor NYC

"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 say keep the sticky toffee pudding coming. The steaks at this big, sleek Gramercy spot are unique in that they’re grilled over charcoal. They do their best work with the filet mignon, and the rump steak is another reliable option if you don't want to spend too much. Choose a steak to share with one other person, then find whatever sounds the most like it came out of Downton Abbey, and order that too." - neha talreja, kenny yang, carina finn koeppicus, bryan kim, willa moore

"Would you, perhaps, care for some sticky toffee pudding? How about a steak with beef fat fries? Or maybe some potted beef with a few yorkshire puddings on the side? At London import Hawksmoor, you can enjoy all of those things in a green leather booth beneath arched ceilings that wouldn’t feel out of place in a museum on the Thames. The filet is our cut of choice at this British steakhouse, but you should also try the charcoal-roasted lobster and dense creamed spinach. Just looking for drinks and dessert? The bar up front is perfect for that." - bryan kim, hannah albertine

"This London-based chain became one of the city’s better steakhouses when it opened in 2021. Note that Hawksmoor, like, Gallaghers, is one of the few city venues to grill its dry-aged steaks over charcoals. One can easily order expensive rib-eyes, filets, and strips, but the restaurant also offers a fine rump cut at just $40. Desserts, including pavlova or the peanut butter Louis, can merit a trip in their own right." - Eater Staff

"This U.K.-based chain’s first stateside location garnered attention for its steak menu and opulent dining room inside the restored United Charities Building in Gramercy. But what shouldn’t be overlooked, as Eater critic Ryan Sutton notes, are the more affordable steaks — including a dry-aged rump roast that currently goes for $32 — that are not only a good value but stand up to some of the best steakhouses in NYC. Dessert should also not be skipped." - Eater Staff

"You’re not going to find a sexier environment in Flatiron than the walk-in-only bar at this British steakhouse. The high ceilings say “You made partner,” but the lax dress code and lively off-the-clock crowd ask “What’s this celebration really going to look like once you ditch your co-workers?” Also, lemon oil, olive leaf vermouth, and yogurt-washed tequila give their signature martini options some extra flair." - bryan kim, kenny yang, neha talreja, carina finn koeppicus
