Great meal at the Hawksmoor Manchester the other night. Meat excellent, Will return and recommend.

The restaurant felt a bit busy with a few too many tables possibly. On more than one occasion I was caught by a passing waiter / patron, it made me want to hit someone!! Staff were dressed down and wouldn't have looked out of place at Reds or Almost Famous, maybe that's the London influence but it did have the feel of a burger joint at times and when they are positioning themselves as a high end steak restaurant it felt more Northern Quarter to me. Challenger for the Gaucho but very different and not necessarily better.

Service excellent for first night and late table. We shared a 950c chateaubriand which was stunning although at £130 not cheap. Free starters of ginger pork bellies was good but not my thing. Excellent wine list and do half bottles of good wines which is a great idea - we had 1.5 bottles which worked better than 2! My partner had a dessert that was apparently very good as well. All in very impressive, not cheap (£260 all in) but best steak restaurant in Manchester by country mile.

The Hawksmoor was absolutely a.m.a.z.i.n.g! Best food we have all had for a long time didn't want it to end!! The service was also excellent. Really nice atmosphere and amazing cocktails, had a gin Bloody Mary which I'd never had before which was lush.
