H and I wanted to try a one star Michelin Star restaurant in NYC. We found The Clocktower and immediately booked a table for two. The Clocktower is located in the New York Edition hotel by Marriott. The restaurant is beautifully designed. We got a very friendly server. The service was great. We asked for recommendation and we were recommended the duck special of the night. The duck special came with a duck liver pate onion pastry. The duck itself was nicely cooked and the outer layer skin was nice and crispy. It came with a generous side of duck glaze sauce to be poured onto the duck. Overall the food was very delicious. Our service for the night was wonderful. We had a great time. The decor of the restaurant was beautiful. There was a nice fireplace in one of the room. The color tone made the place stand out like a beautiful cozy livingroom. On the wall, there were many photos I highly recommend coming here for dinner. You will not be disappointed. read more

Dived in for the number one listed English Breakfast in NYC. It was very good, eggs needed slightly longer, sausages were excellent, beans, tomato and mushroom were fine. I wanted the toast for fried bread but sadly they didnt know what that was (bread crisp fried in the bacon fat). Struggled a bite to get Tea but likely my English accent. Overall very good but i have a few more to try before i declare it the best. Service was great. Ambiance refined. read more

I was only in town for a night when I spotted The Clocktower on IG, they had me at Lamb Shepard's Pie. Sold immediately, I grabbed my coat and headed out. Parking was available on the street and I got a spot right up front. The restaurant is located in the Edition hotel so the lobby area was really cool, I grabbed a picture at the stairway and headed up. The decor inside the Clocktower was amazing. The Shepard's pie was perfectly seasoned I literally ate the whole thing in less than 10 minutes. Very well deserving of the Michelin Star Lamb Shepard's pie Instagram.com/six10_1984 read more

A wonderful dining experience with superb service and food. The seared scallops were nicely seared and had great flavor. We enjoyed the tasty crab cocktail tart and the roasted beetroot salad. The beef Wellington was beautifully cooked and paired nicely with the bone marrow gravy. The poached halibut with lemon butter sauce was cooked perfectly. One of my favorite dishes of the night was the cavateli pasta with blue crab and asparagus. The lemon pasta sauce was divine and refreshing. They have nice dessert options as well! The service was top notch and the manager was great. O I'm looking forward to revisiting for another great dining experience. read more

The Clocktower Restaurant is in what must be one of the finest hotel properties in Manhattan - the New York Edition. The restaurant feels like an exclusive old school club that is equal parts hip, chic and timelessly stylish. The gallery walls are gorgeous and the intentionally-curated photo collection is interesting in and of itself. The food is a sure thing. I've dined there 4 times. Three of those times it felt like a Michelin-starred experience - every "chip" (French fry) was crispy perfection, fresh smoothies, no detail of our meal left unattended and impeccable service. Last weekend was a miss, however. The restaurant was not crowded yet our waiter took our order and we never saw him again except to either bring the check or remove our plates. A kitchen hand served us and we had to flag him down while he served a nearby table to request our check. The waiter brought it to us but without asking if we wanted anything else; we felt rushed at that point. We would have had another round of drinks or dessert but for lack of service. It was a very nice meal but I was disappointed that the experience didn't rise to the level I have seen on previous visits. The Clocktower is so special! I hope we were there on a rare "off" Saturday when its best talent was taking holiday time off. read more

Came for dinner. Beautifully decorated restaurant with fantastic staff and service on the second floor. They brought out a small round loaf of bread and salted butter that was superb. We ordered the beef wellington and parsnip risotto. The beef wellington was divine (definitely pour all of the bone marrow gravy sauce they provide on top). It was cooked perfectly and the carrots and mashed potatoes were great sides to pair with it. It is quite expensive but at least you will enjoy it. The risotto was good but was lacking in overall flavor. It was mostly just creamy and dense with an odd walnut and piece of parsnip. I am not sure I would order it again, but it was pleasant enough. read more

The food was Amazing we loved everything we ordered. Ambiance very classic and clean. We ordered two starters roasted beetroot salad and the scallops, scallops were fantastic. Prime NY stripe is a must we ordered medium rare and it was cocked to perfection. We didn't love the bourbon ice cream ( no flavor ) but their signature dessert 'warm sticky toffee pudding' was something else. The four stars are just because the wine by the glass list is very poor , the old fashioned was just not there ( you can't mistake an old fashioned in such fancy restaurant) and we would have expected the same level of service, our waiter was very very gentle and kind but I guess it was new and I think the management should have supported him more. There are basic mistakes that could have been avoided in a high end restaurant. read more

The Clocktower is a great restaurant for any occasion. It is not too far from Times Square, a reasonable walk for most people in NY doing tourist stuff, but I probably wouldn't recommend it for pre-theater unless you go early or plan to take a taxi afterwards. I was introduced to this place on a business trip in 2023 and was excited to return with my wife on vacation. The atmosphere is cool and classy although pretty dark. The menu has something for everyone, some items are a bit pricey but not too bad for NYC. We shared a cold 1/2 lobster as an appetizer (was hungry and forgot to take a picture) but trust me it was amazing, super fresh with a buttery lemon sauce on the side. My wife ordered the risotto and I tried the dry aged burger. Both were delicious but I have to say the risotto was better, also with lemon and butter and cooked perfectly. Our server was attentive and very friendly, inviting us to come back for brunch at the end of the week. Overall a fantastic evening at the Clocktower. read more

This place has been on my bucket list. They used to have one Michelin star. It is a London food restaurant. It was not too difficult securing a reservation during the holidays, which is great. It has beautiful interior and very romantic vibe. It has a pool table as well and a beautiful staircase that people take pictures at. We got beef Wellington, baked Alaska, fish and chips, Chicken Liver And Foie Gras Parfait, burnout cocktail, and this other grapefruit flavored cocktail. Super cool show with baked Alaska, so make sure to order that!! Beef Wellington was great and one of the dishes that they are known for! read more

Judging off of quality:price, the Clocktower simply wasn't of value. With a higher standard of dress and ambiance, you would expect the food to match its allure. Beef Wellington, Shepherd's Pie, Mac and Cheese, and the Scotch Egg. Let me preface that none of the food tasted poor. It was quite the meal, but was definitely nothing extraordinary. For about $90/person with no alcohol, one would expect to be blown away. Scotch Egg was good. Well seasoned and cooked right, the sauce also complemented the dish well. Mac and Cheese had several pieces of well cooked pasta in a watery, cheesy, and bitter sauce. Good pasta, but the overall flavor was lacking in my opinion. Shepherd's Pie was the highlight of the meal. Well-seasoned and the portion size was decent. Tasted delightful and we cleaned the plate nicely. The Beef Wellington was OK. Cooked well, but not really seasoned. While eating it, the only thing we could taste was the dijon mustard followed by the rest of the dish. Highlight: attentive, kind, and fast service. Thank you to the staff who treated us well. $60+ Wellington was the knock-down for me, but the meal itself wasn't bad at all. Worth a try, but questionable to be a regular. read more

Came here for restaurant week and was generally underwhelmed. I was in the party with Lauren M., and as she mentioned, we weren't seated until 7:45 for a 7:30 reservation. We also had to ask for the restaurant week menus, which is off-putting as it feels like they don't want to offer it to you. The usual menu is on the smaller side, so I ordered off the restaurant week menu. The beer selection was minimal and they were actually out of 1-2 cocktails, so that menu was limited as well. Everything seemed to take forever. The wait staff was attentive but the appetizers and entrees were slow to come out. Overall the food wasn't anything special, it was generally bland and better options are available at the high end price point. read more

We ate dinner at the Clock Tower for Restaurant Week. We were not presented with the restaurant week menu when we sat down and had to ask for it. We noticed other tables having to do the same. However, the menus did arrive with a recommendation for the most expensive item on the menu (Beef Wellington, $71). We ordered a dozen oysters and then the three course Restaurant Week special for each of us. The oysters were fresh and tasty. However, they were brought to the table with the appetizers, which was odd. The appetizers (steak tartare and a salad) were OK, but a little small. The entree was a hanger steak with potatoes. A photo is included. It had to be the worst presented plate I've ever had at a NYC restaurant. Worse yet, the (medium rare) steak was over salted and tough. The potatoes were flavorful, but lukewarm. The deserts were just OK. The panna cotta was topped with a citrus salad, a weird flavor combination that did not work. Besides the issue with the menus, the service was problematic. We sat for a long time before being initially greeted and long time periods passed between courses. The numerous waitstaff were all young and inexperienced. In photos, the restaurant looked romantic. In reality, it was very noisy. The tables for two are very narrow and long, forcing you to sit far apart. That, combined with the noise, made it impossible to carry on a conversation at a normal volume. Most of the noise was the loud music from the nearby bar. Overall, the visit was a disappointment. Restaurant week is a great time to try new places. Sadly, we learned that we did not like the Clock Tower and that we will not be back. Also, despite what other reviews claim, the Clock Tower is not a one-Michelin starred restaurant. The list is here: https://guide.michelin.com/us/en/new-york-state/new-york/restaurants/1-star-michelin?sort=distance. Its not even close to the standard set by those establishments. read more

The place is gorgeous, great vibe The service was INCREDIBLE. When the hostess asked if we were celebrating something, I mentioned it was my wife's birthday, genuinely not expecting anything, but at least three people in the staff came over to say happy birthday and they even left a cute note on the table before we sat down, really top notch The food was great, in particular the burger and the Scottish egg We're certainly coming back read more

I had no idea this place had a Michelin star but I can see why. First, the design of the restaurant feels like you've stepped into the study or dining room of a viscount complete with a fireplace, soaring high ceilings and framed black and white photos on the wall. There is also a separate room for billiards and a bar with a beautiful curved bar and several other rooms for dining throughout. We sat near the big windows overlooking Madison Square Park and the lighting was so nice with the sun streaming in. We came for brunch and ordered the scotch egg, burger and fish and chips. I was actually impressed with the scotch egg with walnut ketchup as it was served hot with the quail egg yolk perfectly medium. The burger was so tasty with the Churchill sauce and thinly sliced pickles and red onion and crispy bacon. The thick-cut chips were surprisingly huge and filling -- made me imagine how big of a potato they used! We were impressed by the proportion of the fish and chips. Perfectly battered and served with mushy peas (loved) and seaweed tartar sauce. Although we were so full, we decided to try the nutmeg creme brûlée and gobbled it up. There is definitely a strong nutmeg flavor (not my favorite) but they serve it with a yoghurt sherbet which cuts through. I would definitely come back to try the sticky toffee pudding and another table was being served a version of a baked Alaska which looked very delicious. Would love to come back for dinner and hoping for a more lively atmosphere as it was pretty empty for a Saturday brunch -- not a bad thing during Covid Times though. read more

INy. Just so you know. The Clock Tower is very fancy and very pricey. The kind of place where the staff is just a little bit better than you. We had a great time and a very NYC experience. We arrived early and No, we could not wait at the bar for our friend, but we're seated at our table. No reason why, just "no, I can't seat you at the bar". My husband, a native Californian, who is used to chatting up the server, hemmed and hawed over what wine he wanted to drink and the server lost interest and walked away. Remember when the job was called "waiter" ? This happened 3 times during our meal, which I thought was hilarious. The server was not really rude, just not interested in waiting. The Beef Wellington was out of this world, could not be better. I love duck and this was outstanding and the largest portion of duck I have had, in a restaurant. Though England is not know for fine cuisine, this was off the charts delicious from start to finish. The ambience is quiet, relaxed and upscaled library that serves food. I totally reccomend this for a special occasion meal or if you just have leftover money in your budget. read more

Hickory dickory dock. This place was quite a shock. The Mac and cheese was good. Could the Scotch egg be better? It could. Hickory dickory dock. We made a res for 7:45 but they didn't seat us until 8:15, which was a bit unfortunate since we were all feeling quite peckish. Also service in general was quite slow. FOOD: The Mac and cheese with oxtail was actually really tasty, as was the dry aged burger. I also tried the scallops, a bite of the beef Wellington, and the lamb shepherd's pie. The shepherd's pie was really strong and rich, and there was a lot of it. We ate around 1/4 of it and packed up the rest to bring home. I wish there were other things (maybe as a side) that would have cut into the richness. The balance just felt a bit off overall. Others really enjoyed the scallops, but I thought they were just ok. Same with the beef Wellington, but I also am not a huge fan of filet mignon in general. I overall thought this place was nice, but expected a bit more from a Michelin starred restaurant. read more

I had never heard of this place until last night but my friend booked it for a birthday dinner for a dear friend. It was located in a part of town I don't frequent as much and tucked away in what I think was a hotel. Very nixe decor inside with lots of cool art. Service was great. We ordered many different oysters, scallops, Mac and cheese and salad. Tried the Lancaster chicken and Burger which I had and they were both amazing. So many food desserts we went with the pear pie and it was super tasty. Great place to go for a special occasion, date and a great meal. read more

The Clocktower - Burger with fries - British Near Me - New York, New York

Dark paneled ceilings and a large marble hearth aglow with flames created a welcoming and cozy ambiance. My dining group of four decided to order and share 3 appetizers. I'd never had a scotch egg before, but as someone who has an unhealthy love of eggs in all preparations I've ever tasted (I'm sure the two eggs I eat most mornings are not doing anything wonderful for my cholesterol level), I was sure I would enjoy this dish. And I was correct. The fried outer coating provided a satisfying crunch. The savory yolk and pork sausage was cut by the acidity of the accompanying walnut ketchup. We spoke to the sommelier to get his advice on wine pairings for each course. He recommended a sparkling wine from the south of England to pair with the scotch egg. It was right on point! Note to self: anything fried goes well with bubbles. Next up, Berners Tavern macaroni & cheese with wild mushrooms and slow-cooked ox cheek. This was not the usual elbow pasta with bright yellow artificial cheese from a box. This was a bit of a masterpiece. Large, hearty ribbon pasta noodles with meaty mushrooms and tender, flavorful ox cheek in a rich creamy sauce. Absolutely delicious. The final appetizer was chicken liver and foie gras parfait. Although savory, it was not the richest foie gras I've ever had. Nevertheless, the perfectly toasted brioche bread with a soft center was the perfect vehicle for foie gras. On to the main course, the beef wellington, the dish I was most excited about. Admittedly, my first bite was a bit lackluster. The meat seemed a bit dry and under seasoned. However, I quickly learned that the remedy lay in the mash potatoes and gravy that accompanied the dish. Combining all the elements of the plate on my fork, the perfect bite highlighted the interplay of textures between the flaky outer pastry and mash potatoes, and allowed the savory gravy to add flavor and moisture to the beef. Overall I was quite pleased. We capped the evening with a delicious warm sticky toffee pudding We had good service throughout the night and any small snafu was quickly addressed; great customer service. I would definitely dine here again. read more

Given the location and price, overall it's just okay... 2.5 star probably. Service was meh, everytime the server put down new plates and took away the used ones they made a lot of noise.. Not gentle and as a "targeted fine dining" restaurant, it's not acceptable. The only proper one was the sommelier. It was a meal that we left with already forgetting what we ate. Nothing was really memorable. Appetizer - East and West Coast Oysters $24 : okayed. Chilled Maine Lobster $32 : my favorite app, fresh and perfectly poached. Tasty flavors. Santa Barbara Uni $20 : not worth it Marinated Mackerel $21 : not worth it Roasted Maine Scallops $28 : okayed. Entree - Day Boat Cod $39 : pretty good and nice flavor. 40 Day Dry Aged Prime Côte de Boeuf $155 : not bad, acceptable but I doubt there's 32oz.. Long Island Duck Breast $44 : pretty good, acceptable duck. Roasted Loin of Lamb $47 : two pieces of lamb that was super gamey even people who eat lambs thought was too much. Yike! read more

Have heard great things about this restaurant for years and was excited to finally check it out. We started with the house bread and the shrimp cocktail. We then had the wedge salad, the Mac and cheese (amazing) and then the tandoori chicken and the duck. Everything was amazing. For my drink I had pappys on the rocks. It was my first time having it and it was amazing. The service was great and the ambiance felt very old school. Great spot read more

Went here for our wedding anniversary. What can I say, this place was almost perfect. We got our reservations mixed up and arrived a whole hour early. The hostess was so nice and found a way to squeeze us in. All staff was very friendly and on top of our needs. The beef Wellington was magical. That sauce they used as gravy for the mash was out of this world. The carrots were a bit undercooked but everything else made up for it. We were even given free wine and a cute little hand written card as a congratulations for our anniversary. I would definitely come here again just for this one dish and the service. read more

The restaurant definitely looks and feels very upscale. I love the decor (the walls are covered with various different paintings). I went there for brunch so the choices were more limited. Food: English Breakfast (scrambled eggs, pork, sausage, bacon, pudding, mushroom) Skirt steak and chips (steak with fries and pink peppercorn sauce) The scrambled eggs were amazing (probably were one of the best I've had in my life). The toast that came along with it was way too hard and dry. I felt like the portion size of the steak was way too small for it to be that expensive. I ordered it medium rare but instead, it was medium well. The fries tasted like regular fries so no complaints there. The "salad" was whole pieces of lettuce...but the dressing was very subtle and not overwhelming. The service was mediocre, and it's actually not hard getting a reservation here. read more

Though this is a MICHELIN STAR RESTAURANT I honestly EXPECTED MORE. The WEST COAST OYSTERS WERE PHENOMENAL & The FRESHLY BAKED BREAD was the star of the show. The burger on the other hand, the main reason we went there, was LESS THAN SPECTACULAR. The service was IMPECCABLE, as expected. The staff was very well trained and attentive ; they came in between courses and CLEANED OFF THE TABLE & changed the utensils which is always something you want to see at this level of dining. When it came to the desert, I really really enjoyed the JASMINE TEA. Very DISTINGUISHED from the usual jasmine tea I have at home. Must Haves : * Berners Tavern macaroni and cheese * Dry Aged Burger ( Still worth trying ) * West Coast Oysters read more

The Clocktower is a classy place. A little too expensive for my taste. If I spend hundreds on food then I expect it to be perfect, and then some. And it's really not here. The only thing that was standout was thier homemade ice cream. They had a bunch of different flavors from orange blossom to chai, hazelnut and vanilla. They also had sorbet. The orange blossom was my favorite flavor, its very delicate and light and has a nice floral note at the end reminiscent of rose water. It's a perfect cleanser and end to a meal. Service was very friendly and polite (got more friendly when we started ordering more than just one entree and a couple of drinks). The atmoshpere was cozy and classy. They give complementary bread which is bonus points (that is delicious). I love a place that does that. We split the strip steak. Its enough to feed two I thought, even though the waiter was definitely not happy we didn't each order an entree. The steak was great and the side of cauliflower was great too. The side was just so small though. Then we got the earl grey souffle, the honey cake and ice cream. The honey cake was dry. The earl grey suffle was okay, it did have a strong earl grey flavor. The ice cream was great! The only reason I'm rating it 3 stars, and its a big one for me, is that I feel I can get the same food, just as good or better and more of it somewhere else. But I guess its expensive because its an iconic place and in a hotel. No matter what hotel restaraunts are always so expensive. Go here on a business dinner! Or if you have a gift card, like we did :) read more

A cozy environment with an oak themed feel to it. The food was very good. Highly recommend the butternut squash soup. The duck was amazing, cooked according to preference with a nice crusty shell.
