The English food someone grew up with but now cooked better. We loved: ~Oysters Kilpatrick - Umami & Worcestershire Mignonette explosion ~Smoked trout is such an elegant second ~Poached Skate and pasta-like seaweed ~That perfect steak and best ever chips ~Welsh rarebit proving its place in the Pantheon of grilled cheese ~Stilton and biscuit, cuz blu cheese Wines are out of sight.

Each of you who has ever liked a meme about British food being bland or uninteresting: Go to Lord's and maybe your sin will be forgiven. The chef here has put a lot of thought into his dishes and it shows. Every item we ordered hit that perfect spot. You obviously can't go wrong with the curried lamb scotch egg. They had a monkfish special that was so flavorful. The proper English chips and Pig head itemwe ordered was fantastic as well and paired perfectly with a Guiness. Ambience is very pub-like and welcoming. Service was courteous but they didn't attend to our table for a quite a while, and when we wanted to place an order for another dish, they said it'd take too long, and we'd end up going over the stipulated 45 minute limit. That soured our experience but the food was so good, we'll visit again. And again. read more

Lord's - Curried lamb scotch egg and crispy pig's head terrine - British Near Me - New York, New York

Sometimes, when I think about restaurants that had truly delicious food, I dream about the dishes at Lord's. We went for a 10pm reservation and despite the late hour, the staff were very gracious. The atmosphere inside is a bit dark, so I wouldn't come here to read a book, but if it's fantastic food you want? Yes, yes and yes. Things we tried: the snap pea martini (cool, intriguing and delicious), the Welsh rarebit, scotch egg and the steak and chips. Everything was 5/5. Next time we have out of town guests and need to illustrate just how good the food is in NYC, we're coming back... Or probably sooner, if we can get a reservation. read more

This place has very unique food! Definitely come here to step out of your comfort zone. We started with the oysters. They were covered in sautéed onions. The scotch egg was really good and flavorful. I would not get the welsh rarebit & anchovy again. The rarebit was cheesy n the bread was soggy but I think it's supposed to be like that? You can skip this dish Deviled crab was one of my fav dishes. The chicken was also really good and flavorful but for $40, it was pretty overpriced read more

One of my favorite spots in Manhattan. Always good. Never a disappointment on the menu. Scotch eggs are a must

TL;DR There was glass in my food, but at least they comped the meal. I came here with high expectations since this was Dame's sister restaurant (and Dame was a great experience). I have to commend the vibe and the service - both were top notch. The restaurant makes you feel as if you've stepped into a dimly lit pub somewhere in the UK. I found it quite charming. The service was great - we had a two waiters who were courteous, knowledgeable about the menu, and helped us narrow down some options. However, the food is EXPENSIVE especially for what it is (warning: small portions ahead) WINNERS The best dishes we had were the smoked trout, the chips, and the two desserts (apple trifle and marmalade ice cream). The smoke trout was in a delicious sauce and was smoked lightly. The chips were cooked immaculately (a real rival to nearby pomme frites!) though I wish the sauce had a bit more flavor. The marmalade ice cream was great and the bit of marmalade on top really added a lot to the dish. The apple trifle was great till we got to the bottom of it and there was a piece of glass. We immediately flagged our waiter and they were kind enough to comp the meal but we left immediately afterwards (hence the 1-star review) LOSERS Every other dish was lackluster. The mushrooms and egg yolk was nothing to write home about. The welsh rarebit was actually disgusting. Even after we asked our waiter about it, I'm not sure why he recommended it - it was truly awful. Maybe I'm just not used to the flavor combination, but I didn't even get the taste of cheddar cheese from the dish. Overall, even without the glass in my food, I was a bit disappointed. Again, the service and decor at the restaurant were top notch, but the food just didn't live up to the hype and definitely not up to it's price tag. I'll be sticking to sister restaurant Dame moving forward! read more

What a gem!! This place has super authentic British food for a decent price. It has some things on the menu that aren't common here but everything was soo delicious. Service was great, they gave good suggestions and the chef even came out to give us the food. The ambiance was chill yet slightly upscale. Overall great dinner with a small to medium sized group of people. I can't even choose my favorite dish because they were all soooo good!! The egg dish is definitely worth getting, and the fries (chips)!!!!! Do not skip!!! Will definitely be back! read more

Food is good, but prices were a bit high given the portion size. If possible, I think increasing the portion size may be the better option. For 3 people, we ordered the Scotch egg, pig's head with blood sausage, 2 meat pies and a duck with cabbage entree, a calvados trifle and the stout sponge with chocolate custard. The food quantity was just barely enough to fill all 3 of us, and that is considering that the desserts were a fairly large serving. I would have preferred larger entrees as I generally like dessert to be the last note to a meal, if I have one at all. The meat pie is $38 and I was still pretty hungry after this main course (and the appetizers - we shared the pig's head and blood sausage as though it was an appetizer) Food was delicious, the pig's trotter was very tender. It was my first time with pig's trotter, pig's head, and blood sausage. I wish the chocolate custard was more like a custard and less like a sauce. I also wish there were outdoor seating if possible, since covid is still a concern, as well as getting any kind of illness. It's also pretty hot inside, even considering the cold temperature outside. read more

I'll keep this short. After spending nearly $300 for two people, we were told to order all at once. We were rushed through the meal with a server who kept trying to pluck our menus away so we couldn't order more drinks. Every course came out cold, two of which came out with barely any staggering between. Server was inattentive, didn't talk to us, rushed us. Ordered cake + custard, custard came out melted, told server, hey, this shouldn't be melted, she insisted it should be. Uh, no. Begrudgingly ate it so we could pay our bill. Was asked "hey do you have a complaint about the melted custard?" at the end of the meal. Was not comped. Left. Chips were pretty good, so was the lukewarm duck pie. Everything else was too cold to really comment on. Hard pass. read more

Really lovely English food that I happened to have within a month of spending two weeks in London ...authentic and refined but not over the top. Pies and oysters are can't miss !!! read more

Had a good dinner at Lord's, and appreciate the creativity on the menu, but some parts don't live up to the hype. We started with the bread & butter, oysters kilpatrick, fried pumpkin, and devilled crab on toast. The oysters were good and fried pumpkin is something I've never seen before, but the crab was room temperature. For our mains we had the sirloin steak & chips with green peppercorns and the duck. The duck was well cooked but was also served room temperature as if it had been sitting out for awhile. The steak was a good, solid steak. We got an 8pm reservation. Day of, we got a text from the restaurant telling us we'll only have 1 hour and 45 minutes to dine, because they have another reservation coming in for our table at 10pm. I completely understand time limits and turning tables, but I've never seen a restaurant go to such extreme lengths to make it clear. I've seen restaurants list it on the reservation page, but have never gotten a separate text about it. When we arrived at the restaurant, our table was not ready until 8:15pm, which I would not normally have noticed, except that they had already made such a big deal about timeliness. It left me wondering, do we still only have until 9:45pm, or can we take an extra 15 minutes? Again, I was only nit picking because they were. In any case, by the time 10pm rolled around, there were plenty of empty tables and they were not turning tables, so I don't understand why they even needed to make a big deal about our reservation length. If they want to turn tables, they can just move things along during service, they don't need to make a big deal in advance, especially when it turns out to be unwarranted. read more

Incredible!! Best restaurant I've been to in a while. A new NYC favorite. Loved every item! The curried lamb scotch egg was unique and very good. The steak was the best steak I've had in a long time - great flavor and super tender, cooked perfectly. The fries were also cooked perfectly and way better than fries usually are. Will definitely go back! read more

Good food and atmosphere, but maybe the flavors just weren't my style. Their sister restaurant Dame is more to my liking and I'd give them 5 stars any day. I'd give Lord's another shot and maybe I'd like some other dishes better! read more

In short, the restaurant didn't live up to the hype. The food was overpriced. Many of the dishes were too salty. Scotched egg tasted very gaming. Pig head terrine was too bland while the mustard on the side was overpowering. Sunchokes tasted okay but was very oily. Braised tripe and the queen of puddings were the only highlights of the night. Grilled mushroom kebab was decent but definitely not worth its price. Duck was a big disappointment: the whole dish was barely warm when served; duck breast skin wasn't crispy; fat wasn't rendered well. Pie of the day was very mediocre: pastry wasn't great, and chicken and pig's trotter didn't have much flavor. Chips were really salty. For drinks, we got fig leaf martini, barlett pear manhattan, and amaro soda and didn't like any of the three. A waiter broke a large glass container on the ground right in front of our table, spreading shattered glass all over our feet, and we had to ask for people to come to clean it up. After that, no one even came to apologize. Definitely won't visit again. read more

It was pretty good. The Commerce Inn is a similiar vibe and has better food. But Lord's had a decent food menu and the cocktails were standard. read more

The food is outstanding. The plates and portions are small, but impeccable. The seating and tables are somewhat cramped, but the noise level indoors is loud enough that you have to shout. Two hours shouting is no fun. read more

I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while and let me just say it did not disappoint. I went here on a Friday date night and we were instantly treated by our server in a way that felt special. It was an early reservation so we were there around 5:30pm. She came and informed us about the famous burger and how they only make 12 per night. Of course we had to order one. Let me tell you... one of our new favorite burgers (the spot which used to be taken by Au Cheval). As far as other favorites, we loved the beef carpaccio (the horseradish was a great touch) and the banoffee for dessert (my husband's favorite). We will definitely be back. read more

Been wanting to go here for months, it finally happened, and it was awesome. I would not skip the bread and butter (trust me, you want it) and the smoked trout. The pork chop and steak and chips are incredible. Very much liked the crispy pigs head, oysters, blood sausage, venison tartare, and scotch egg. Probably have some gin and an old speckled hen. read more

I've never written a review before, but Caitlin, our waitress, deserves one! Lord's is a standout restaurant in its own right. The ambiance is great and the food was all outstanding, but Caitlin made the difference! Her knowledge of the menu was unmatched and even though it was my friend and I's first time there, she made us feel like regulars. I don't doubt the rest of the servers and staff are exceptional since everyone we spoke with was super friendly and helpful, but Caitlin is a star! A couple food pics for additional context. Both dishes were outstanding. The squid and crispy blood sausage dish was a standout. read more

Nice ambiance in this British pub, a bit on the loud side for the older folks. The bar is quite comfy, which is where we had a reservation. I had a very stiff Hemingway Daquiri which was quite good and my bf had one of the tasty non-alcoholic drinks. The food isn't exactly up my alley but I was keen to try it out. We shared a delicious bread & butter basket, the escarole caesar salad, the welsh rarebit toast, duck pie, and chips. The chips were outstanding. Perfectly seasoned and crispy. I could have eaten a thousand of them. My bf enjoyed the duck pie. It tasted like burger to me, not a bad thing! Salad was really dressed, which is the way I like it. Overall a really pleasant experience. I'm glad we tried it. If I lived nearby, I might pop in for a drink and those chips. read more

A welcome addition to a neighborhood in need of a good upmarket eatery. Signature cocktails are excellent - well balanced, strong, not too sweet, and mostly on a bitter side. Most appetizers are good for sharing. Crispy pig head terrine is good and meaty, but a little too reminiscent of a Spanish croquette due to its breaded fried exterior. Fried eggs, ramps and black pudding is fantastic and full of umami, sunny side up eggs are the the brightest orange you've ever seen, black pudding is savory and creamy and ramps add a nice a layer of flavor and crunch. Venison tartar is also great with a nice mustardy tang. The staff is super nice, a maitre 'd went out of his way to sit us despite not having a reservation on a busy Friday night. read more

best food and service i've had in a long time. a gift to the city. everything we ordered was fantastic.

The burger is highly highly recommended!!! Get there early to be able to enjoy this exquisite offering

Great menu and great food. Had the rib-eye along with several appetizers and, of course, dessert. Ambiance is a bit noisy - but the quality of the food compensates. Not a great date place (too noisy and not intimate) - but wonderful to enjoy wine, food, and company. read more

Great food. Hard to get a table but the food makes up for any struggles faced/and or having to eat at a weird time because that's the only reservation you could get. Scotch egg is a world beater, as was the pie, everything was excellent. Also has a huge and we'll curated wine list.m, something for everyone. read more

I went here after reading its review in The NY Times. We had a great dinner here that defied our expectations. The scotch eggs with curry were a great deviation from the traditional scotch egg and delicious! We loved the grilled oysters and our favorite was the perfect flavor combination of the cabbage stuffed with duck and creamy Puréed potatoes and port wine reduction. The dessert was the impressive finale of the Guinness cake with chocolate custard and the Queen of puddings. We loved it all and we enjoyed all of the waitstaff which made our dinner even better. We can't wait to return! read more

Lord's aspires for an upscale dining establishment. In certain ways (ambiance, cleanliness) it hits the mark, however given the price point, unfortunately does not fully deliver. Manu is fairly limited, there is no vegetarian entree option, which is odd. Drinks menu does not include ingredients for non-alcoholic options which makes it impossible to make a decision re whether offering is actually worth $12-15. We tried rarebit (tasty but portion was 2 pieces, each being 1/2 standard bread slice). Steak was the highlight- cooked as requested and accompanied by a nice sauce. Cod was overcooked but set on top of a very nice beans with sauce. Fries were twice cooked but definitely overpriced. One issue that did come up and it's definitely a no-no for a good restaurant. When placing the order we told the waitress that one person in the party cannot consume raw/uncooked products. However shared chips arrived with a side of aoli (which when checked did contain raw eggs). Overall, has potential but needs some improvement in terms of delivery and menu. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed our evening, including late autumn flavors (trout, fennel salad, pigs head, sirloin steak), excellent cocktails and wines by the glass, attentive service, charming ambiance and interior. Highly recommended for a convivial night out. Thank you! read more

Not certain how a full restaurant doesn't have any warmth but only noise. Felt like one of those Bravo top chef pop ups. Food was ok and ridiculously expensive for 4 prices of steak and 5 French fries for $42. Similarly ridiculous markup on oysters to not have done anything real with them. Feels like this is the bubble J Powell is trying to pop - flying taxi company ipos, bitcoin and precious over priced restaurants like Lords. read more

Worst service of any restaurant I've eaten at in the last 2 decades that I've lived in New York. I've never simply sent all the food back and left a restaurant. Their excuse: there was an inspection going on. I had 6 employees standing around me as I sat at the bar, 2 looking at messages on their phones. Yet no one to take an order; no one to get drinks. Then my unfinished plate was yanked away and my next course unceremoniously dumped. That was the end. I left read more

It was fine. I would only come back to sit at the bar and order the lamb scotch egg as the drinks were good and the scotch egg was very tasty. Everything else was average and unmemorable. The chilled beans were over salted, the Crudo dish was a tiny tiny portion. The tilefish was tasty but nothing special. Their other restaurant Dame is better. read more

Had so much fun with this meal. The vibe was great and the food and service both excellent as well. Perfectly executed takes on classic british cuisine. The venison carpaccio was great. The crispy pigs head was just excellent - meat was tender and fried perfectly, the beans and black pudding complimented it perfectly. I would go back just for this dish. Steak was very good and prepared well and the horseradish creme it was served with was delicious especially with the chips. The Dover sole was very good though perhaps not quite the stuff of dreams. Deviled crab on toast was very tasty but not a must. The ox cheek carrot and stilton pie was wonderful. Wish there was more pastry dough because it was delicious. The meat was tender and the flavors came together perfectly. Only dish i wouldn't recommend are the oysters Kilpatrick, couldn't even taste the oyster with all the other overpowering flavors. Overall excellent and memorable meal, looking forward to coming back and trying more dishes. read more

I normally don't write reviews but felt compelled given how amazing of a meal and service we had at Lord's! I felt like I was back in the countryside chatting it up about Spare (don't get me started). Anyways, the scotched egg was perfection (just like mum used to make). Caitlin our server was engaging and made the meal truly special. 10/10 - will def go back! read more

The food experience at Lord's was just okay. We ordered bread (which was odd bc they only gave us 3 pieces and we were a 4 top), scotch egg, butter beans with mussels and parsley and the pig's head terrine to start. For entrees we had the steak with chips and ox cheek pie (our friends ordered the steak as well, and got the tile fish). The starters were okay. The scotch egg stood out as the most favored item. Steak was solid and ox cheek as well. Nothing really blew us out of the water, though. What stood out to us the most our server. Through the whole meal they seemed like they were rushing us, which I thought was odd, but didn't put much thought to it. The real issue presented after our meal, when our server dropped the dessert menu. We were a party of 4 and ordered two desserts to split and I ordered a glass of sherry. We were about halfway through eating the dessert when the server came over with the credit card machine and said "I hate to do this, but we have a party waiting. Do you want me to split the bill?" (note, not even an apology as this is occurring). We had reached our two hour mark for dining, however, it was very clear that we had just received our dessert and my drink was still full. If they are super strict on timing, the server should have provided us with a warning before we ordered dessert. I understand why these time limits exist, however, each of our courses took a pretty long time to come out. Taking that into consideration, and the fact that we were clearly in the middle of eating, I think they could have been a bit more gracious about it. It wasn't like we were just sitting there with drinks taking up a table, which is why these time limits typically are put into place. There was food actively being consumed. Instead they just ran up the bill, and then asked us to pay and leave. I was shocked. And we totally would have been understanding if they told us after our meal, "hey, we are really sorry, but you only have until x time with our dining time rule, it may not be enough time to order dessert and just want to make you aware of that before hand". read more
