All 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 York

With 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

Terrific 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 Swerdlow

I 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.

Mike Friedman

The $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.

emily meyer

Beautiful 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!

Shah

The 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 ZandlSlant

GREAT 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.

Monica Cullen

Started 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

The Clocktower is dishing up epic fish & chips and Minetta-quality steaks in a restaurant where guests play billiards for free.

Céline Bossart

Whether 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.

Erica Sklar

The 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 Chan

Great space and menu at this Stephen Starr/Jason Atherton collab! Get their ox cheek mac and cheese - it's unconventional and delicious for brunch

Delicious brunch . Definitely loved the restaurant ambiance and their coffee .

Nitzan B

Super nice place, food was really good. Their home made butter is perfect.

Drewski

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.

Eric Tsai

When 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

Cole Kennedy

Dill or No Dill cocktail is super refreshing, no matter the season. So happy that gin is making a comeback in cocktails .

Céline Bossart

If 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.

Nick Jordan

The beef tartare (picture devoured) is one of the best 10 dishes in NYC.

Nicky Conti

Love this place great ambience, service and delightful British cuisine, not to mention high tea !!

Gary Toriello

Bypass the lobby bar and take the spiral staircase up to the 24K gold leaf bar upstairs.

Mike Dudas

The crab Thermidor sandwich is a heavenly combo of butter and warm crabmeat stuffed inside perfectly toasted bread .

Claire J Song

32 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)

Clocktower 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. ★★★

Deepika Sharma

Great for business lunch and after-work cocktails . Very attentive staff . Mind the stairs!

Matthew Sinclair-Thomson

Inventive food and drinks in a high-end members club atmosphere. Very cool.

AmateurConcierge

Great 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

Larisa Grollemond

Great brunch in a really swanky space, would also be great for drinks!

David Dunhill

Great vibe, good drinks that are a bit steep at $16, but interesting and fun.

Nicholas M.

Beautiful interior space. Fun vibe. Really good food.

Lillian Cheung

Beautiful restaurant . Cocktails and the chicken for 2 are great

Rhys Davis

Fancy place , amazing oysters and great filet mignon !

Rajesh Midha

Dover sole with a side of haricot vert is a great selection for dinner

Adam Schuit

Very chic but pricey obviously. The place to be seen...

Xiaoyi L

It'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.

Michael Fox-Rabinovitz

Cocktails are really elaborate and well thought out

dsinsky

Expensive ($16) but tasty and creative cocktails in a hip and classy setting.

Jared S

The cocktails were perfect and the skirt steak was excellent. But the service completely lacked. Very disappointed.

Michelle Wiles

Cereal killer cocktail is like candy . Very alcoholic candy .

Benjamin Ryberg

Tuna tataki and crab starters, delightful.

Ms Helene

Nice bar area with good cocktails .

Nicholas Stocks

Steak tartare , skirt steak to die for

Sarah

They serve cookies after your dessert . Sugar overload.

Kinjil Mathur

Skip lobby bar and head straight to restaurant bar upstairs.

CCnyc

The Mac & Cheese wasn’t what I expected; it’s a must order.

Alexandre Zanuto

They have a great food and a fancy place , but the service was horrible
