"The London steakhouse Hawksmoor brought dry-aged beef and beef-dripping fries to Gramercy in 2021 — book it for a Sunday roast."
About Hawksmoor
Will Beckett and Huw Gott opened the first Hawksmoor in London in 2006, chasing the best British beef and the simplest way to cook it; the Gramercy outpost, their first in the United States, arrived in 2021. It sits in the historic United Charities Building at 109 East 22nd Street, under 26-foot vaulted ceilings, with a 35-seat bar and executive chef Matt Bernero — formerly head chef of Minetta Tavern — on the pass. The draw is all-natural, dry-aged beef from family farms, charcoal-grilled and sold by weight, with beef-dripping fries at $12 alongside.
The Kitchen
Executive chef Matt Bernero, who came from running the kitchen at Minetta Tavern, leads Hawksmoor New York for founders Will Beckett and Huw Gott. The model is the one the pair built in London: all-natural beef from family-run farms in upstate New York, Pennsylvania and New England, dry-aged, seasoned only with flaked sea salt and seared over live-fire charcoal. Steaks are sold by weight off a blackboard — the bone-in rib chop and the Chateaubriand are the sharing cuts — and the beef-dripping fries at $12 are the side everyone orders.
The set piece is the Sunday Roast: dry-aged, slow-roasted rump with crisp beef-dripping potatoes, cabbage and carrots, giant Yorkshire puddings and bone-marrow-and-onion gravy, served noon to 4:30. A ribeye runs about $65 and a full dinner lands roughly $90 to $150 a head. Pastry is a genuine strength — the sticky toffee pudding is the signature finish. The address is 109 East 22nd Street in Gramercy; London since 2006, New York since 2021.
The Room
The room trades on the bones of the United Charities Building: 26-foot vaulted ceilings, restored woodwork, leather booths and a 35-seat bar that stays busy. The sound level is a lively hum rather than a roar, lighting is low and warm, and tables are generous enough for sharing platters of beef. Two private dining rooms handle groups. Dress is smart-casual — no jacket required — and the mood is convivial, built for a table that wants to linger over steak and a bottle.
Best for a Group Dinner
Book this room for a group dinner because it is engineered for the table: sharing cuts sold by weight let everyone split the Chateaubriand, the vaulted room and private spaces absorb a crowd, and the bar holds the early arrivals over a martini. The Sunday Roast is the standout group booking — rump, Yorkshire puddings and bone-marrow gravy at noon. See more in our best steakhouses guide and the global list of team-dinner rooms.
Not for
Not for vegetarians or a fast bite — the menu revolves around shared dry-aged beef sold by weight, and the sharing cuts are built for the whole table.
Frequently Asked
Is Hawksmoor New York worth it?
For a steak dinner, yes. Hawksmoor brought a 15-year London track record to Gramercy, and the dry-aged, charcoal-grilled beef and beef-dripping fries deliver on it. A full dinner runs roughly $90 to $150 a head, which is competitive with the city's top steakhouses, and the room and service are a cut above. The Sunday Roast is arguably the best value on offer.
How hard is it to book Hawksmoor New York?
Moderately hard for prime times. Weekend dinners and the Sunday Roast book up, so reserve through OpenTable a week or two ahead; weekday dinners and the 35-seat bar are easier, and the bar takes walk-ins. For a group or a Saturday, book further out and ask about the private rooms. The address is 109 East 22nd Street in Gramercy.
What is the dress code at Hawksmoor New York?
Smart-casual, no jacket required. The room is handsome but the mood is convivial, so a nice shirt or a dress fits and neat denim is fine. You will see business attire at dinner and a more relaxed crowd at the bar and at the Sunday Roast. Dress as you would for a good steakhouse, and you will be comfortable.
What should I order at Hawksmoor New York?
Order a sharing cut off the blackboard — the bone-in rib chop or the Chateaubriand for two or more — with the beef-dripping fries at $12, which are non-negotiable. A solo diner can do the ribeye at about $65. Finish with the sticky toffee pudding, the kitchen's signature. On a Sunday, the Sunday Roast trumps everything else on the menu.
Is Hawksmoor good for a group dinner?
Yes — it is one of the better group steakhouses in the city. Sharing cuts sold by weight, a generous vaulted room, two private dining spaces and a 35-seat bar all favour a crowd. The Sunday Roast in particular is built for a table. See more rooms that handle groups in our team-dinner guide.
