Restaurant Review - Hawksmoor
Wednesday 14 June 2023
Starting 12 months in advance, the big guns of the PR world were in action for the Dublin opening of the British steakhouse chain, Hawksmoor. Not since The Ivy parked a flower-bedecked bus in Dawson Street in 2018 has there been so much hype —cosy pictures of farm visits; ‘sneak peek’ hard-hat tours of the premises under construction; a two-week soft opening, with a 50pc discount for those who’d registered; plus an invitational media preview dinner and drinks on opening week. Suffice to say, as a critic, I don’t accept such invitations.
