Reviews for The Clocktower in New York, NY
I had low expectations here, even for a Michelin star restaurant, but this place vaulted over them. Will definitely make it a... mainstay of my future NYC visits. The beef Wellington was amazing, with a pastry covering so light and flakey that it couldhave been served standalone. The Tandoori chicken was similarly excellent, with some of the most tender chicken I?ve ever had,with excellent spicing and accompaniment. But our favorite was the toffee pudding, which may go down as one of my favoriteall-time desserts. Add that they carried one of our most sought after Vouvray wines? just perfect. Read more
I?ve been looking forward to the beef Wellington, but after waiting almost an hour, it was really mediocre. The steak itself was... good, but the horseradish mash was dry and tasted like nothing. The waiter said that the kitchen messed up and they had to redoit but didn?t comp us anything for waiting so long. Fish and chips were okay, nothing really special except for the mushy pees,but does it really go with fried fish? No. The fish was fried alright but Dame does it better. Steak tartare, scotch eggs werenot bad, but they did not stand out. Mac and cheese was good but a bit too rich. Drink menu wasn?t very inspiring if you want Ihave cocktails. Michelin star aside, it was just an okay meal. Read more
Had a business dinner here. We ate light. We ordered 3 starters: scallops, mac & cheese and dozen oysters. Everything was... served nicely with a strong presentation. The scallops were seared just right and the mac/cheese was in a light cream cheesewhich did not overwhelm the palette. Read more
Came here for an anniversary dinner, and everyone was nice and professional! We got the beef wellington and the fish & chips;... the former was incredibly tasty, some of the best filet i?ve had. The fish & chips had great flavor and the crust wasperfection. Big shoutout to the mashed potatoes, delicious! Ended the meal with the sticky toffee pudding and the earl graytorte. Wasn?t the biggest fan of the torte, but the sticky toffee pudding was one of the best desserts i?ve had in a while.Great experience!! Read more
Our dining experience was impeccable from start to finish. The ambiance: inviting, intimate, warm & elegant. The service:... high-touch, professional, well timed & welcoming. The cocktails: deliciously divine (we had the Dill or No Dill and theHoneysuckle). The food: mouthwatering, flavorful and delicious! We had the scotch eggs (a MUST try, if you haven?t had this isthe spot to try it!), crab cocktail with grapefruit, steak tartare (amazing and you can definitely split it with the portion,great quality meat too), Berkshire pork chop (cooked to perfection AND that glaze is an unexpected delight !!) and the beefWellington was top notch - flaky and not soggy outer crust, delicious filet mignon? amazing! And by the way the homemadesourdough bread is also next level!! Such a special experience. Thank you to the amazing staff for making our anniversary somemorable. We finished with the Warm Sticky Toffee Pudding ? it is my favorite dessert on this planet. Incredible all around. Read more
The Clocktower was a great experience, and the food did not disappoint. We tried the scotch egg, which was pretty interesting... and tasty. The fish and chips were also really good and the cocktails were solid. I would definitely go back and recommend avisit to anyone. I plan on trying the dry aged burger/steak next! Read more
English pub-style place. Had the rissoto, lamb shepard's pie, and rabbit pie. Food was only so-so. Service was poor. Maybe... because it was a Friday night and busy but I felt ignored. Price was okay for New York. Very impressive wine list at veryimpressive prices. Read more
My first time here, this an excellent spot for upscale British classics. The beef Wellington is excellent but the shepherd?s pie... stole the show - so flavorful and just a wonderful take on what can be a somewhat mundane dish. They also have a sticky puddingwhich is also really good as well as a baked Alaska which I didn?t have but was popular as they flambé it table-side. Read more
