When I arrived, it was a total surprise to realize The Clocktower is actually the restaurant inside the world-famous EDITION Hotel in New York. The atmosphere felt incredibly “New Yorker” in the best way. It has a classic, old-fashioned vibe with beautiful portraits lining the walls, giving it a warm, sophisticated, timeless feel.
The service was truly five stars. Absolutely amazing from start to finish.
We ordered several appetizers, main dishes, and desserts, and everything was delicious and notable. The halibut was honestly to die for, one of the best I’ve ever had. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the artichoke green sauce was next level. We also ordered the shepherd’s pie, which was rich, comforting, and extremely flavorful.
For dessert, we tried multiple options, and the standout for me was the pudding. It was seriously really, really, really good. The drinks were excellent as well, perfectly crafted and very high quality.
Overall, this was such a memorable experience. It’s one of those places I will absolutely come back to, and it’s also the kind of restaurant I’d bring friends visiting New York to impress them.
Highly recommended.
The signature dish is Wellington steak, the skin was dry and the beef was poorly cooked. The sea bass was fleshing and tasty.
I am the person who crazy about the chocolate but the desserts were too sweet.
No comment about their service. Only in the beginning, was explaining the dishes for us, later on….
A good place for photo shoots.
Food was decent– duck and cherry + halibut was cooked well. However the side Macaroni and cheese with wild mushroom was extremely runny and the pasta was overcooked.
Despite being one of the only people dining at this time, service was poor. Atmosphere was beautiful.
Our martini tasted as though the bartender had never made one before, and it wasn’t dirty at all even though we ordered it extra dirty. It was also delayed, and we had to remind him to make it. Instead of offering to remake or refund it, we were just given a side of olive juice.
We were told they didn’t have Diet Coke, only something described as “diet light,” which was confusing. Throughout the night we were repeatedly forgotten when trying to order additional drinks , to the point where we eventually stopped asking.
We also weren’t given side plates, and our appetizer plates weren’t cleared when our dinners arrived. Since we were seated at the bar, space was already limited, so it made things feel cluttered and uncomfortable.
To top it off, our dinner took over an hour to come out. For the price point, we expected much more attentive service.
Overall, great food and ambiance — but disappointing service, especially considering how expensive the meal was.
Had a business dinner here. It was a small restaurant, but they could accommodate us, a party of 7.
Service was standard. No theatrics, nothing stupendous.
Food was amazing. Best bread I’ve ever had – the thinnest crustiest chewiest bread!
The scotch egg was to die for. I’d never had one before but I know that was the yummiest one in the world.
Good, juicy burger. Hearty fries. Desserts were beautiful and light.
Restaurant would NOT seat us even one minute before they opened at 5. We stood there waiting.
