Hawksmoor Dublin | A Historic Steakhouse Worth the Hype? ๐ฅฉโจ
๐ Location: Right across from Trinity College Dublin (TCD) โ can't miss it! Celebrated the hubby's birthday ๐ at this "meat temple" after hearing rave reviews from friends who literally drool ๐คค when talking about their steaks. Here's the juicy scoop! ๐ฐ๏ธ Vintage Vibes Housed in a stunning 1835 heritage building โ the arched ceilings are chef's kiss ๐ (wish I got better pics!) Enter through a cozy pub area ๐ป before being led to the grand dining hall ๐ฝ๏ธ The Food (Worth Every Cent!) ๐ STARTER: Scallops with garlic bread crumbs โ plump, buttery, with a zesty lemon kick ๐ *10/10* ๐ฅฉ MAIN EVENT: Rib-eye (Medium-rare) โ Hubby kept nodding in approval ๐๐ "Perfect marbling, insane tenderness!" Monkfish (300g) โ Thicc, meaty, almost steak-like! ๐๐ฅ (Just watch for that center bone โ wanted to go caveman on it! ) ๐น COCKTAIL MISHAP TURNED WIN: Ordered "Apple Pie" cocktails โ waiter forgot ๐ Staff apologized profusely & comped the drinks (which arrived deliciously warm 1 min later) ๐๐ฅง Free booze = instant forgiveness ๐ Minor Annoyances: Our server mumbled worse than a Dublin bartender at last call ๐ฅด (Missed our side orders!) Pro tip: Study the menu online beforehand to avoid "huh?" moments ๐ธ Damage: ~โฌ120 for 2 (Special occasion splurge ๐) ๐ Verdict: "Fancy but worth it for that meatgasm!" #HawksmoorDublin #SteakLover #DateNightGoals #IrishFoodie #TCDEats #HistoricEats #BirthdayDinner #DublinFood #SplurgeWorthy #SorryNotSorry
