I rarely eat British food and I was pleasantly surprised!! Their sauces are phenomenal. I had grilled lamb heart, the duck pie, curried lamb scotch egg, burger, cod with roast fennel, and the Meyer lemon and kumquat tart. The duck pie and scotch egg were my favorites. Would definitely come back! read more

I was excited to try Lord's, a restaurant chosen by a good friend who I frequently dine with . It was her turn and she wanted to try something new . British food unlike other European food ( french , Italian , spanish to name a few ) isn't known for their food . It was a nice surprise that this restaurant elevated British cuisine. The service was attentive and the ambiance is perfect for a night out with friends. Recommendations by both the sommelier and servers were on point . read more

Obviously, the burger. Obviously. But honestly everything on that menu is great. The staff is attentive, personable and accommodating.

Back here for a second visit and had a wonderful meal again. I was hoping to try their famous burger this time but unfortunately it was already sold out by then (6pm reservation). Aside from the Scotch egg and Crispy pig's head that I'd tried and loved last time, I really enjoyed the Stuffed cabbage and Guinness chocolate cake. Everything was on point. Service was friendly and attentive. It was pretty busy when we arrived - I assume people come early to snag the burger. I'll have to make sure to get here as soon as they open next time! read more

Food: 6/10 Service: 8/10 Ambience: 7/10 We ordered: - oysters kilpatrick - grilled scallop & green garlic butter - curried lamb scotch egg - grilled morels, wild garlic & nettle hollandaise - sirloin steak & chips with green peppercorns We were disappointed because they ran out of their famous burgers by 5:40pm even though they opened at 5:30pm. We felt like everything EXCEPT the sirloin steak was pretty good (7-8/10). The lamb scotch egg was something I'd enjoy trying once. The scallop and morels were our favorite but in the end we're paying $24 for mushrooms and $14 for 1 buttery piece of scallop... We waited for the sirloin steak maybe ~30 minutes after we finished the other dishes. It was extremely chewy and basically inedible to me. I only had a few bites because I was so hungry. My date didn't eat anything that day and barely finished the steak. He had stomach issues after dinner... I would recommend Lord's for the appetizers if you don't mind paying the price. I might try to visit again for the burgers. read more

Went on a food journey last night at Lords (recently named one of the best new restaurants in America by Eater). I read someone say "expect to try something new at Lord's" and what a perfect way to describe this experience. The dining atmosphere is perfectly elevated yet still maintaining a casualness that you could wear jeans to. All of the dishes are unique but stay true to British food culture. They also all have an air of being 'delicate', but maybe that lends itself from the plate ware. Everything was on the saltier side, but my palette loves sodium. I loved everything I tried: - curry lamb scotch egg, perfectly spiced, delicately breaded. Tender but holds its own. Perfectly runny egg. - delicate squash, persimmon & goat cheese salad (I was OBSESSED with this salad, I cleaned my plate!) - duck pie, SUPER rich but very yummy. I recommend splitting this with someone. It is very tender and not as gamey as one would think. - apple crumble & honey ice cream, this suited my fall tastebuds so well. The crumble is the perfect blend of salty/ sweet, the ice cream is so light and yummy. It was delicious. -banoffee choux bun, yes I tried two desserts but I had to!! This was good and I think this is their signature dessert, it was good and I'd order it again but the apple crumble took it home for me. Service was outstanding. They are just friendly and attentive enough to make you feel welcome but you don't feel like you're being watched for turn of service. Exceptional. All that to say, add Lord's to your wishlist because it was an a pleasant surprise. 4.8/5 read more

Surprisingly delicious food that's comforting and flavorful. My group tried a bunch of different dishes and particular enjoyed the scotch egg, tilefish, and pie of the day. It's a meat-heavy spot so keep that in mind, but the portions were not at all overwhelming. Don't sleep on dessert either! The toffee ice cream and the "queen of puddings" were both so dreamy. read more

I was a huge fan of Dame and I am an even bigger fan of Lord's. Lord's offers a wider selection of British eats coming from the same high quality kitchen that can be expected of it's sister restaurant. I highly recommend having a reservation although they do have quite a bit of bar seating available for last minute stragglers. My boyfriend and I came on a Tuesday night and every table was filled with a few open seats at the bar. We started off with the oysters kilpatrick, curried lamb scotch egg, and devilled crab toast. For our mains we had the pie of the day and poached skate with a side of chips. Everything had mouthwateringly unique and complex flavor profiles which elevated each dish to the next level. We finished our decadent meal with the queen of puddings which was refreshing with a well balanced ratio of sweet to creamy to tart. Overall an amazing dining experience that I highly recommend and cannot wait to return to in the future. read more

Just a lovely experience for dinner. This is British food with a touch of panache, especially the duck pie (essentially a duck Wellington) which is a revelation unto itself. Be prepared for lots of sharing around the extra crispy exterior (and silky smooth interior) chips, the scotch egg and any number of mouth watering choices on the menu. Lots of room inside this West Village location, with friendly bartenders and wait staff that made our evening move along smoothly. read more

Is the Welsh Rarebit Burger worth lining up before they open? The answer is "yes" if you're looking for a well-made burger with a unique spin to it. But more importantly, Lord's offers a variety of British classics with a modern take and other interesting dishes on their ever-evolving menu. The unexpected highlights of our dinner were the Proper English Chips (so good with mayo) and the Rhubarb & Elderberry Choux Pastry. The ambiance is chic without being too stuffy and service is very much on point. The wine list is extensive and their cocktails offerings are pretty interesting (I loved the Snap Pea Martini). Overall a fabulous experience and I look forward to being a regular at Lord's! read more

Simple, straight forward dishes, all elevated to have a personal character of the restaurant. Perfectly executed, perfectly seasoned. Casual, cool environment with kind, attentive service. It's pricey - this isn't your local pub. We went for the house signature dishes: scotched eggs (so good we ordered a second round), escarole caesar, crispy pigs head (absolute must), and steak with their signature potatoes. Only thing that I have to say gets on my nerves is this: "we only make 6 burgers a day so you have to come dine before 5pm to get one". Ugh. read more

We love their sister restaurant Dame's so we knew we had to check this one out as well. This is how I'd imagine classic British food to be, not some Americanized version. The scotch egg was beautifully executed and very lamby. If you don't like lamb, you won't like this. We shared one egg and that was enough, it's a flavor bomb. The oysters were ok but not my favorite. The guanciale was delicious but overpowers the oyster. The tripe was tender but not my favorite. It's good just maybe a bit heavy. The meat pie was amazing. Perfectly done. The steak and chips were also on point. Flavorful steak and perfectly crunchy chips. I recommend both. Finally the dressert was beautiful and simple. It's called the Queen of pudding for a reason. The service was very good although it slowed a bit when it got busier. Overall still very attentive and good. The decor of very cute. The overall meal was good but heavy. Very much a cold weather stick to your bones type meal. read more

This was a big hyped recently in the city. Being advertised as "only 12 for a night", I always thought it was hunger marketing, therefore I never had a high expectation in it. However, it was honestly a solid burger. The wheel of white onion did not just make the burger looks interesting, but also give the burger a subtle sweetness and crunchy texture. The patty itself was not overshadowed by the onion, beefy flavor with healthy amounts of juiciness. But, I am still not favoring the hunger marketing part. Wish one day I don't have to one here at 5:30 only for a burger. Their drinks were nowhere below the burger. I ask the bartender for recommendation, he guides me through how I want my drink and present me a classic cocktail. I am a cocktail enthusiast, so I love how professional they are on helping customers deciding the drink. I heard Lord's is not only famous for their burgers. After having a look inside, it is a good place to bring your partner here to have a not so casual dinner without loosing fun. Will definitely bring my girlfriend here. read more

The name became fitting after the fifth "Good Lord" I uttered during tonight's extraordinarily poor service. If there was a saving grace, it was sommelier; else, there's a couple things to note: 1. The scotch egg was praised online and I was looking forward to trying it. I'm still looking forward to trying it - they never actually brought it out. The salt in the wound was the "You'll see the scotch egg isn't on there." when we got the check. Yeah, I sure hope so, provided we never got it. 2. The food was just...average? We had the cod (inoffensive) alongside a basic snap pea salad and oysters. No qualms there. The sirloin we ordered was about room temperature once we got it, suggesting it had likely just been sitting for several minutes - they reheated it for us and had it replated. It must have taken about 25 minutes between the salad and getting served. 3. Fries were good, but when you're dropping $230 on a meal for two, that's a pretty small hurdle to clear. Look, when a restaurant has multiple fumbles, it's a good faith gesture to either (I) offer a shared dessert or (II) offer to comp something on the check. Writing this, I can't recall the most recent time where I had a dinner where there were multiple issues; it's not common! And it surely isn't common at restaurants that position to be Michelin "also rans", but when it does happen, the staff makes it right. That didn't happen tonight, and it's a complete disappointment given how much I've enjoyed Dame (the "less refined" option) over the last few years. read more

Wow! My friend and I lined up right before 5:30 for our reservation and snagged a burger. So delicious, one of my favorite burgers in all of nyc! The scotch egg and the chips are also a must get.

Came here for my anniversary with my bf and had the best time. The food was good, expiremental but familiar....a nice twist on classic English food. The service was pretty good. Our server seemed busy and it took a long time for her to come but we did get our food and she remembered it was our anniversary! We got the trout which I would recommend, the cod, the steak and frites which my bf loved, the bread and butter which was good...but I could have skipped, the oysters and the guiness stout cake. Everything was honestly delicious and I can not wait to go back. The restaurant is very dark with ample lighting and has a work cozy feel. The food comes out fast so don't expect to stay too long.

Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Value: 3.5/5 Went here with a buddy to get burgers because the Lord's off-menu burger is on many "best of" lists and we wanted to try it. The burger is great. I think part of what makes it special is the pretzel bun. I've had burgers with pretzel buns before, but the texture on this one was sensational, really nice. Soaks up the juices from the flavorful medium-rare patty. The cheese was ample, gooey, salty, and had a nice tang to it. We split an order of fries (or "chips" as they say across the pond; $12). They were thick and appeared to be twice fried, which is always nice. We both drank the Notting Hill Manhattan ($19), which we found very pleasant. A summery, more refreshing version of a Manhattan. I also had a can of Old Speckled Hen ($9). My friend had the blueberry crumble with chamomile ice cream ($16) which he said was good. Rosa is a very pleasant server. We compared notes on various burgers in the city. Lord's holds its own vs. the offerings at Rolo's and Minetta Tavern, which are also very delicious. The layout of the restaurant reminded me of Gage and Tollner as there was a row of two top tables in the middle of the restaurant all fairly close together, with booths against the left hand wall. The restaurant is pricey, as the bill came to $168 including tax and tip for both of us. Most entrees on the menu range from $38-$45. read more

Woww, just wow. I've never had English cuisine, nor are there much options for one in NYC, but I was so impressed by Lord's. When you walk in, it's like you stepped into tavern straight out of London with its dark and woody ambiance. I'm a sucker for aesthetic ceramics and I loveeee the all beautiful chinaware that our dishes were served on. They're all perfectly mismatched, with a floral and tea-party type of aesthetics. It's contrasting to the tavern-like environment yet it fits so well to the dining experience. I really had no idea what English cuisine is, but our waiter gave amazing recommendations. We started with the curried lamb scotch egg, which is a staple to Lord's and one menu item that is always consistent. My favorite menu items were their appetizers -- the snap pea, green olive & sheep's cheese salad was flavorful, tart, and refreshing, and the grilled morels, wild garlic & nettle hollandaise was mouthwatering. The Red Wattle Pork Chop with cherries and broccolini was incredible. The pork chop was so tender and swam in a delicious sauce. Lastly we finished with the blueberry crumble with chamomile ice cream which I also highly recommend. Do try their cocktails! I got this strawberry tequila based drink that I don't remember the name to, and it was so good. It does look like they change up their cocktail and dinner menu on a seasonal basis, but I can't wait to come back to try the next new thing! read more

3.8 rounder to 4. First time having British food. Lord's definitely put a modern twist to the rustic British cuisine. Unfortunately, it was too salty in most dishes and flavors were kinda one dimensional. My favorite of the night were the apple salad with smoked eel and the banoffee choux bun dessert. The acidity and sweetness from the apples complemented the smoky and salty eel very well. It's a very balanced dish. The dessert was quite lovely. Fresh bananas and ice cream were stuffed inside the crispy choux, which made it looked like a giant cream puff. It's not overly sweet and so satisfying. I have to mention that their dinnerware is gorgeous. Not only the design on the plates used on each dish was different, but also the serving plates we each used was different as well. read more

One of my favorite meals in 2024 thus far. I went on a double date to Lord's last month, and I was blown away by the whole experience. I got us a 5:30 res, and we pretty much immediately asked about the famous Welsh Rarebit Burger, to which our server promptly reserved two for our party. We got a good variety of eats, and every bite was pretty fab! Curried Lamb Scotch Egg - Iconic, and for good reason. Outer curried lamb sausage was perfectly salty and spiced, the egg was delectably jammy, and it was fried to a good crisp! Great to share amongst a pair; we got 2 for the 4 of us. Radicchio Salad - Not lifechanging, but a good balanced pick and much needed for our greasy, meaty meal. Mushrooms with Marmite Mimolette Sauce - Meaty little mushrooms with an umami bomb sauce that tasted like bougie velveeta. What's not to love?! Welsh Rarebit Burger - This was worth lining up at 5:27 and ordering right away. Definitely in my top 3 burgers in NYC; the pretzel bun was perfectly soft and chewy, the patty was nice and thick and cooked to a medium-ish perfection, and the housemade rarebit cheese sauce and bite of the white onion slab made this a 10/10 burger. Proper English Chips - Great; they taste just like Dame's. Crunchy unlike traditional English chip shop chips, but really fab for this American audience. Best paired with tons of malt vin! Duck Pie - Rich, flaky, hearty, yum. We shared 1 amongst the 4 of us, and I suggest you do the same. Chocolate Guinness Cake - Not too sweet, loved the savoury/sour pairing with the crème fraîche. Apple Crumble - My least favourite bite of the night. Delectable, just the least memorable of the bunch. (That being said, there was an even split down the table between preferring the cake or the crumble.) Definitely a treat meal, but worth the $$$ and meat sweats. All four of us had been to Dame prior and loved it, so I'm not surprised that this meal was great, but I am amazed by how good it truly was! read more

This experience was a solid 4.5 stars, so under Yelp's system 5 stars 'tis. Attended as part of a group of 4 on a Tuesday evening. Comfortable table in the back of the front room - those seeking more privacy might prefer the space to the right, extending back. Three snap pea martinis to start - La Portena had her usual glass of white - there wasn't much on the sweeter side of things for her, although I think the orange Riesling sufficed. Bread, an extra charge item - a brown whole grain affair with good butter - 4 pieces to the order. The curried lamb scotch egg of course. It did not disappoint. And the crispy terrine of pig's head, sort of like the best piece of scrapple you ever tasted, the accompanying endive remoulade elevating the dish. Snap pea salad lightened up things. Fried eggs, ramps & black pudding was my least favorite, perhaps because there wasn't all that much texture to the black pudding. As this was a festive occasion, we went with the two items for two as entrees. The whole turbot was of a generous size. Three of us enjoyed, but the feinschmecker did not like its melting texture. The grilled dry-aged ribeye was perfectly cooked and nicely seasoned, the "proper English chips" included were the best I have had. Dunked a few in the bearnaise that came with the fish, but that was gilding the lily. But the problem here is the size of the beef - this might be a serving for two in Blighty, but in New York it came up small at $140. At this price I would hope for a cote de boeuf closer to 2" thick - comprising the rib steak and the entrecote, usually sliced tableside. I accompanied the beef with a fine glass of red. For dessert we had the Queen of Puddings, which is not on the online menu as I write this a few weeks after our visit. The sticky toffee pudding ice cream remains. Both were excellent. I thought our main server pulled off a delicate balance between informality and professionalism, so kudos to her as well. If I returned I'd probably stick to the regular entrees, but as I did not sample them, I cannot recommend. read more

Nice clubby atmosphere, kind of loud (like everywhere else). All starters were exceptional. I like chicken but very rarely order it because it's usually dry (especially the white meat) but here it was a succulent main course, probably the best chicken I've had in any restaurant in NYC in memory. Too bad the roasted potatoes that were advertised on the menu to come with the chicken didn't show up on my plate. However the excellent English chips we ordered for the table made up for that. Overall terrific meal with terrific value. I practically never visit a restaurant twice but I'll definitely look forward to returning to Lord's. read more

I was shocked to find how much I enjoyed this meal. First off, walking by Lords you would not realize that it's British fare. Then I thought, what does British fare even mean?! We all know about fish & chips, and maybe a scotch egg iykyk. But I wasn't sure what else would be on the menu. The server suggested a few plates as some of the portions can be small. That meant we were branching out! First up - the hay smoke trout, celeriac & dill. What I expected - something equivalent to a smoked salmon breakfast. Boy was I wrong. What I got - a delicious crudo of trout in a citrus vinaigrette. The celeriac on top was almost foam and added such a soft but wonderful taste to the mix. I was thoroughly surprised. Up next - the quail on toast. This dish looked as expected. Quail are small birds and you usually get the equivalent of a drumstick. But I was really surprised by the depth of the flavors! What it looked like - standard gravy atop a mini drumstick. What it tasted like - heaven. Seriously though, if you enjoy chicken liver mouse, seared foie Gras, or any similarly gamey flavors done up then this dish is for you. Then came the curried lamb scotch egg. In the photos you'll see what looks to be a soft boiled egg wrapped in bread. What it really is - lamb! Which was crazy to me because lamb is often presented in little riblets. This candidly was not my favorite dish, but when in Rome. For the main course - we shared the duck pie. It's small and compact but actually quite filling. While it's dense in practice it's not necessarily heavy on your stomach. If you enjoy duck, or even if you ever had a Marie calendars chicken pot pie and are willing to branch out, try the duck pie. Somehow we were not yet gorged and opted for dessert. The Guinness sponge cake was so moist and despite being covered in chocolate custard was not too saturated. I practically inhaled it in one bite. Our waitress was lovely, leaving us to talk when we clearly didn't need assistance, but springing up when our drinks or plates were empty. What a nice surprise this dinner turned out to be. I cannot wait to visit again! read more

Can't go wrong with some deliciousss English food in a lovely, romantic restaurant!! Came here with three other friends so thankfully got to try a variety of different dishes, and all of them were spectacular! Service was also very friendly and attentive, and the sommelier helped us pick out a budget-friendly red wine that I will be stocking at home for myself. Some favs: - Scallops were so tender - just wish there were more of them! - Crispy pig's head terrine - this was my first time trying endive and thought it was delicious! Loved the texture of the veggies along with the terrine - Duck stuffed cabbage - one of my personal fav entrees. The duck goes beautifully with the sauce underneath - Sirloin steak - definitely a favorite at our table. The steak is incredibly tender and the fries are so fat and juicy - THE DESSERT - wow. Loved the queen of puddings and this other apple dish we ordered. Some of the best dessert I've had at a restaurant. Also, how pretty are all these plates that they serve you with? makes for some awfully pretty pics if you're a phone eats first type of person like me. read more

Nice atmosphere - cozy and pleasant. The welcome was warm, after that the service was so so. The waiter never cracked a smile and was hovering toward the end of the meal, so I felt like we were expected to wrap things up.

Tasty. Rustic. Classy. British. Scotch eggs had a nice hint of sumac. Citrus salad was refreshing and light. Burger was juicy. However, they put raw onions in the burger which was too overpowering - kinda ruined it. Dry Aged Ribeye with peppercorn sauce was the best plate. Tender, succulent, tasty. Fries were nice and crispy. Saffron mocktail was worth the 15$ imo. Service was fast and professional. Although, the waiter accidentally spilt water all over our shoes and floor. They should've given us the fries or something for free to appologize. Would highly recommend! read more

Amazing. I wish the oysters were served cold just as they are in the summer but other than that- fantastic.

Every month, I think Manhattan can't top the last restaurant I went to, which turned out to be my favorite. Well, Lord's proved that wrong. The food is off the charts, the small list of wines by the glass is excellent - and actually reasonably priced, at least for these days. The noise level is on the vibrant side for these ancient ears, but not unbearably so. The staff could not have been friendlier or more welcoming, and clearly love what they're doing. My one minor sadness: there was an unlisted special of veal brain sliders that they neglected to offer me. I don't think I could actually have consumed it without requiring immediate medical assistance afterwards... But maybe on one of the many return trips, I look forward to making. read more

I've been looking forward to visiting Lord's since I saw them on Eater. Perhaps expectations were too high. Lord's has a balanced ambiance and attentive staff. But it's all about the food for me, and I was pretty disappointed. The oysters Kilpatrick were good (not great). I confess I don't know what makes something Kilpatrick. Tasty enough. The scotch egg, something I was particularly interested in trying, was a shame. The flavor was nice, and the egg cooked to a perfect, jammy doneness. But the sausage was dry, almost tough. The sweetbreads and mushroom skewer was well seasoned and had a nice char. But the sweetbreads themselves felt slightly overcooked. But the real problem was the sauce. I didn't catch the description as it was served so I'll attempt to describe it myself: a green goo that tastes like a dusty plant. It was awful, and I don't say that lightly. Rarely do I find something just gross, let alone at an establishment such as Lord's. Finally, I had the duck sausage and mushroom pie. I confess this was the main draw for me ... but not exactly. When I first heard of Lord's, they had an ox cheek and ale pie on the menu. And yes, it looked as magical as it sounds. Lord's had been on my radar ever since. The problem? They took that version off the menu and have replaced with a string of variations. The first time I was looking to go, they had a corned beef version. I passed, hoping for a return to the ox. The duck sounded promising, so I figured now is the time. It was a good pie. But no ox cheek. I totally understand that chefs create, innovate, and evolve. And so they should. We look to them to step into the future of food. But sometimes, just sometimes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The quality of ingredients, vibe, and staff were very good. But, overall, I was pretty disappointed. I don't plan to visit again ... unless oxcheek makes a comeback. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect, as in no world do I ever think England is necessarily known for their cuisine. The menu has a good variety and definitely feels inspired for the vibe. Started with the bread: I'm always torn when having to decide whether or not to pay for this but I think for this meal it was worth it and the butter/oil was a nice presentation. Ordered a pair of oysters kilpatrick which, for the $5 each, can probably be skipped. A bit small and not the most interesting. The Scotch egg is a must. The flavoring of the curried portion was excellent and the dipping sauce balanced it well. We have a hard time passing up sweetbreads, but this also probably could have been skipped (I honestly forgot there was marmite in this until I sat to write this review). For the mains, we went with the coulotte steak and the duck pie. The steak was very standard and aesthetically very simple-it was a good steak. The duck pie, however, was the highlight and explains why everyone else around us was getting it, too. Overall, a fairly good albeit somewhat pricey experience. The restaurant is a bit small so definitely would need a reservation. read more

I loved everything about our meal here -- especially arriving early enough in the evening to get a coveted burger, certainly one of the best I've ever had. I love it when you can marvel in the deliciousness of the burger itself, without a bunch of other toppings. That said, the raw onion really gives this a necessary bite. So very very good. We also ordered oysters (excellent), the Scotch egg (I'm repeating myself: the best I've ever had, and okay, I'm British. I have had a lot of very mediocre Scotch eggs), the veal sweetbreads in marmite (this was perhaps my favorite bite of the evening, which is saying a lot since that burger was pretty near perfect -- that sauce omg), and the apple crumble for dessert. Service was just spot on. Only complaint was it was pretty loud, but hey. It was a weekend. I can put up with the din in order to have a pretty perfect meal. read more

I've had some amazing meals at Dame so was really looking forward to Lord's. While it's an interesting menu I do not think it lives up to the hype that it has as Dame's sister restaurant. AMBIANCE The space makes you feel like you're entering a large speakeasy. It's quite dark and the tables are all separated but overall it was a nice cozy vibe. SERVICE There was a slightly strange pacing in between courses. Some quite long and some short, but service itself felt attentive enough. FOOD To start we got bread & butter, oysters kilpatrick, and curried lamb scotch egg. The oysters sauce was delish but the oyster itself was very mediocre and therefore I wouldn't recommend this dish. It tasted gamey and not fresh. The scotch egg on the other hand was the best dish of the night - juicy meat and perfectly crisp on the outside. The deviled crab on toast was ok, but expensive for what it was. The flavors were unique though. The roast scallops with black pudding and squid ink was really interesting. If you don't like black pudding I wouldn't recommend, but I liked the composition a lot. My only complaint here is they only gave us 3 half scallops in the entire dish. So for $26 you're getting 1.5 scallops and a slice of black pudding. The pie of the day was the biggest disappointment. There was no pork trotter to be seen in the dish. The chicken was also so chunky, and it felt very cheap. The pie crust itself was nice but alas at $38 I would not recommend this. Overall there were some unique dishes but it was quite pricey for the lackluster quality and/or small portion sizes that were offered. read more

I am screaming: WE GOT A RESERVATION AT LORD'S. My friend and I ate here on Friday evening, I was able to get a reservation for 5:45PM after much battling with Resy at 11:59am, three weeks in advance [ugh]. This meal gave me feelings, feelings and life. I can't remember the last time I ate such a great meal. We started off with the chicken liver parfait + chanterelles [$22] and the curried lamb scotch egg [$12]. That chicken liver parfait ...woooo. I was mesmerized at first bite. It was so creamy and unctuous. Loved the cornichons on the side for a hit of acid. I have had my fair share of chicken liver parfait and this one ranks among the best. The scotch egg was good, my friend enjoyed it more than I did. The white sauce underneath was nice. I liked the gaminess from the lamb. The roast scallops with black pudding and squid ink [$26]. Ugh, it was so good, it makes me want to cry. The sauce, I'm assuming was the squid ink, it was addictive, I was spooning it from the plate. And the pickled onions on top were such a nice surprise. You wouldn't even know you're eating blood sausage unless you knew. I wish the portion size was bigger. We shared the pie of the day [$38], chicken, pigs trotter and leek. Sharing was a wise move, as we were both started to feel slightly full at this point. Ufff, the crust on this thing was magic. It was so flaky and perfect, definitely made with tons of butter or lard LOL. The chicken was so soft and tender and the sauce it swam in felt like thanksgiving. Dessert was another experience. We ordered the queen of puddings [$15] and the apple and calvados trifle [$16]. Whatever you do, get the queen of puddings. I would give two Paul Hollywood handshakes for it. It was WARM and jammy. The meringue caramelized which blew my mind. It looked absolutely stunning. The trifle was nice and had all the fall slices but there's no comparison to the pudding. Dessert absolutely finished us off and I was ready for bed. LOL. I also had two blackcurrant and grape spritzes [$17]. It was good, I was worried it was going to taste like everyone's favorite grape medicine, but thankfully it didn't. I'd probably chose a different cocktail next time. The bill came to $236 after tax and tip, which I would say is totally worth it. PS: I was obsessed with the wallpaper and candles in the bathroom, such a nice touch! read more

This was really excellent. We ordered a ton: bread and butter, two oysters kilpatrick, scotch egg, fried pumpkin with herb paste, devilled crab on toast, Welsh rarebit, steak & chips, chicken/pig's trotter/leek pie, and finished with the queen of puddings. Everything was great, with the bread & butter, oysters (maybe the best I've ever had?), rarebit, and steak being particular standouts. The only things we'd definitely skip next time would probably be the fried pumpkin (my wife hates herbs) and the pie, which was good but probably worth subbing out for something like the duck. I also wouldn't mind trying more desserts -- I surprisingly loved the pudding, and I wonder if some of the other desserts which wouldn't normally be my thing might actually be up my alley. read more
