Hawksmoor Dublin | A Historic Steakhouse Worth the Hype? 🥩✨

📍 Location: Right across from Trinity College Dublin (TCD) – can't miss it! Celebrated the hubby's birthday 🎂 at this "meat temple" after hearing rave reviews from friends who literally drool 🤤 when talking about their steaks. Here's the juicy scoop! 🕰️ Vintage Vibes Housed in a stunning 1835 heritage building – the arched ceilings are chef's kiss 👌 (wish I got better pics!) Enter through a cozy pub area 🍻 before being led to the grand dining hall 🍽️ The Food (Worth Every Cent!) 🐚 STARTER: Scallops with garlic bread crumbs – plump, buttery, with a zesty lemon kick 🍋 *10/10* 🥩 MAIN EVENT: Rib-eye (Medium-rare) – Hubby kept nodding in approval 😌👌 "Perfect marbling, insane tenderness!" Monkfish (300g) – Thicc, meaty, almost steak-like! 🐟🔥 (Just watch for that center bone – wanted to go caveman on it! ) 🍹 COCKTAIL MISHAP TURNED WIN: Ordered "Apple Pie" cocktails – waiter forgot 😑 Staff apologized profusely & comped the drinks (which arrived deliciously warm 1 min later) 🍎🥧 Free booze = instant forgiveness 👎 Minor Annoyances: Our server mumbled worse than a Dublin bartender at last call 🥴 (Missed our side orders!) Pro tip: Study the menu online beforehand to avoid "huh?" moments 💸 Damage: ~€120 for 2 (Special occasion splurge 💖) 🌟 Verdict: "Fancy but worth it for that meatgasm!" #HawksmoorDublin #SteakLover #DateNightGoals #IrishFoodie #TCDEats #HistoricEats #BirthdayDinner #DublinFood #SplurgeWorthy #SorryNotSorry
