Amanda RellaJuly 8, 2018All around excellent. The Dover sole was delicious. All appies delicious as well. No shortage of desserts either! Cool environment, like an upscale pub serving British food. Excellent service.
Time Out New YorkDecember 19, 2017With soaring ceilings, laid-back vibes and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Madison Square Park is the ultimate Christmas Day hideaway. Sit at the bar’s open fireplace as you sip on a choice quaff Read more
Sameepa ShettyApril 16, 2018Terrific service, good food and cozy atmosphere - What more do you need? It's pricey though. Highly recommend the sea bass and scallops. Some great cocktail selections too here.
Sherie SwerdlowFebruary 10, 2016I LOVE everything about this place. Decor, crowd, vibe. So civilized yet not pretentious. The food is stunningly amazing! Dressed Crab fab. Long Island duck delicious.
emily meyerSeptember 18, 2015Beautiful bar and dining room. Service was friendly and attentive. Loved all of our dishes - halibut, scallop + hamachi crudo, filet, lamb, and burata salad. Tarte Tartin was also great. Going back!
Monica CullenDecember 30, 2016Started my night off with the American Cereal Killer Cocktail in the bar, but probably should have had it for dessert because it was so delicious and sweet! The halibut and duck were noteworthy and go
Mike FriedmanNovember 3, 2015The $24 Dry Aged Burger is a delightful lunch option. Simple, full of flavor, satisfying to the last bite of brioche. Your company will eye it from across the table.
ShahSeptember 26, 2016The duck is just amazing. Pair it with the Dill or No Dill cocktail and you've got yourself an excellent night in stunning surroundings.
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantJuly 17, 2015GREAT staff, so helpful and good with recos but the food and the ambiance not really my scene - all way too fussy and over the top. Too many ingredients and too much going on.
Erica SklarAugust 21, 2015The food is good, a little on the fancy side but yummy. The rooms are really beautiful with photos of old movie stars on the wall
Ashley ChanFebruary 11, 2017Great space and menu at this Stephen Starr/Jason Atherton collab! Get their ox cheek mac and cheese- it's unconventional and delicious for brunch
Eric TsaiMay 22, 2016When you arrive be aware that the restaurant is actually on the second floor. Really wanted to try the 40 day dry aged steak but 20 oz was too much so I opted for the spring lamb instead. #noRegrats
Claire J SongJuly 7, 201532 oz dry aged ribsteak for two: comes with a green bean salad studded with cubes of foie gras, a bone marrow jus, and potato gratin. ($125)
Céline BossartSeptember 6, 2017Whether you’re here for lunch, dinner, brunch, or what have you, you MUST order some form of champagne if only to see the dope little cart roll its way to you. I promise, it’s worth it.
Usually go after work when it's not crowded, but it's a fancy-but-unpretentious place to get creative cocktails and play some pool.- Claire J SongSeptember 28, 201532 oz dry aged ribsteak for two comes with a green bean salad studded with cubes of foie gras, a bone marrow jus, and potato gratin. 125
- EaterDecember 14, 2015The Clocktower is dishing up epic fish & chips and Minetta-quality steaks in a restaurant where guests play billiards for free.
Cole KennedyFebruary 6, 2016Dill or No Dill cocktail is super refreshing, no matter the season. So happy that gin is making a comeback in cocktails.- Céline BossartSeptember 6, 2017If you’re in a cocktail mood, definitely order the American Cereal Killer, which comes in a glass milk carton. It’s boozy AF, so brace yourself.
- The beef tartare (picture devoured) is one of the best 10 dishes in NYC.
Gary TorielloMay 22, 2015Bypass the lobby bar and take the spiral staircase up to the 24K gold leaf bar upstairs.
Wilson ZhouNovember 25, 2017Clocktower belongs to a small collection of restaurants that find inspiration not from predicting the lean future of food but rather by tipping a hat to its indulgent past. ★★★
Nicky ContiFebruary 8, 2019Love this place great ambience, service and delightful British cuisine, not to mention high tea!!
Deepika SharmaApril 25, 2017Great for business lunch and after-work cocktails. Very attentive staff. Mind the stairs!
AmateurConciergeJanuary 6, 2016Great ambience, but the place is hugely overpriced. Entrees are high 30s and up and the food is not great by any stretch. Crab and tuna apps were fine but a bit bland. Salmon and burger overly rare
Matthew Sinclair-ThomsonApril 7, 2018Inventive food and drinks in a high-end members club atmosphere. Very cool.
David DunhillOctober 15, 2015Great vibe, good drinks that are a bit steep at $16, but interesting and fun.
Xiaoyi LJune 29, 2015It's British food. Sooooo...Overpriced, and our waiter kept forgetting our orders and his colleagues & supervisor had to cover his ass. A weird experience, not going back. Deco is cool.
Larisa GrollemondSeptember 18, 2015Great brunch in a really swanky space, would also be great for drinks!
Mike DudasDecember 22, 2015The crab Thermidor sandwich is a heavenly combo of butter and warm crabmeat stuffed inside perfectly toasted bread.- Jared SJanuary 17, 2017The cocktails were perfect and the skirt steak was excellent. But the service completely lacked. Very disappointed.
Karim TarmohamedMarch 30, 2019Beef tartare was bland at best. The sliver of lamb priced at $46 was tough. Duck was ok. Was excited to try this place and then promptly disappointed. Way overpriced and not worth it.
Kim BostFebruary 3, 2017Overrated, over priced, the service is bad, and the food isn't good. It took out server 20 min to take our order and we paid $70 for a terrible steak. Go anywhere else.
Alexandre ZanutoFebruary 16, 2020They have a great food and a fancy place, but the service was horrible
