    An amazing spot that makes you feel like walking into a local spot in London. Everything about this pub is great: the food, service, cleanliness, and cute friendly local owners as best final touch. We loved everything we got and cant wait to come back again!

    Can't rave enough about this place! Went for the Wednesday night trivia (first and third Weds of every month) and it was a blast! Sooo lively and charming. Felt like I was back in London where I studied abroad. A mix of US and British trivia. Packed with people of all ages, dogs, kids. And the food is five stars! Loved the cheese-and-onion hand pasty so much. Buttery, flaky crust, flavorful caramelized onion, gooey and so fresh. Trying the vegetable curry bake next and their toffee sticky pudding. Shoutout to Steve for the recs, and the kindest Englishman in Westchester. 5 stars!!!!

    I am overall very impressed with how this place has turned out. I've been wanting to try this place since I first came here to try their food. My fiancée and I finally had the chance and we are incredibly happy with. The place inside is beautiful. I love how they have TVs everywhere that look like picture frames. Gives it a unique touch. The chairs are very comfortable and some don't have backs making easier to get up and down. The bartenders were so nice and helpful. They brought everything to our table when it was ready. The bathrooms were very clean and have a slide door to get into. Never really seen that before so I thought it was cool. The food tasted amazing. I had the shepherds pie and it was very flavorful. Over all happy and will definitely come again.

    Perfect pint!

    I have followed this place online for ages and finally popped in as an expat, finding proper fish and chips in NY is usually like spotting the Loch Ness Monster. But The Ambleside Pub absolutely nails it. The bar's a beauty clearly crafted by someone who's spent a few evenings "researching" in British pubs and the whole place has that cozy-meets-classy feel that makes you want to settle in for a long session. Jimmy behind the bar is an absolute legend, friendly, fast, and full of the kind of banter you'd expect from a bloke who's poured more pints than he's had hot dinners. Highly recommend giving this place a go, and I'll definitely be back to see if the Sunday roast lives up to the hype (no pressure, Jimmy).

    Pork Pie & Potatoes, Chips& a proper Gravy. Amazing!  Reminded me of the one I had at the Raven Pub in Bath.

    If you haven't been you gotta go get your English On. Great Bitter & Great Food. Family friendly

    Fish and chips

    This place is a legit British pub with legit Fish and Chips and legit hand-pumped beer. If you are from the UK and miss home, this is as close as you will get. I had, of course, the Fish and chips and a local stout served with a pump. Both were outstanding and reminded me of my days in the UK. I understand they also serve a legit British breakfast. Excellent addition to the neighborhood. Since you're in the US, remember to tip well and always use "please" and "thank you" with the bartender and servers.

    Fish and chips! Bangers and mash! Sticky toffee pudding! We came here recently a year after our first visits and we left wondering why we don't come here more often. The food here is so solid. The cod is a generous hunk of fried goodness (think light and airy) and the fries are thick like steak fries. The bar staff and wait staff are all so kind and congenial here. And the atmosphere is what you expect from a traditional British pub. Dimly lit (perfect casual spot for your first or second date), lots of cute English tsotchkes, nice tv screens that are camouflaged as elegant paintings when a game isn't showing, room temp hand pulled draft beer - what more can you ask for?

    The owners were super friendly and welcoming. Our food was reallllly good. My parents usually say at restaurants "it was fine", but this time they ate the whole meal and said "that was really good, we will definitely come back here". I had the bacon cheeseburger, my dad had the shepherds pie and my mom had a chicken pie special (like a chicken pot pie with chicken, mushrooms and leek) and we shared the brussel sprouts. We will be back.

    Full English Brekkie!

    We came here on a snowy Sunday evening and were surprised by how packed it was. I assumed the…read moreweather might keep people home, but between the snow and football Sunday, it was clearly a busy night. Despite that, our party of four was seated immediately, which was a nice surprise. The atmosphere was lively and loud because of the games, but not in a bad way. However, we were seated toward the back near the kids' area, and there were children screaming at the top of their lungs. Not the restaurant's fault at all, but definitely something to keep in mind if you're looking for a quieter experience -- this is clearly a very kid-friendly spot. We started with the fried pickles. They were tasty, but the portion was quite small and the presentation was pretty underwhelming. For my main, I ordered the French onion soup and boneless wings. The soup was great, but the wings were just okay -- very dry and lacking flavor. I ordered garlic parmesan, but could barely taste the sauce. The rest of my group ordered burgers and said they were pretty good, and everyone agreed the fries were excellent. They have a large beer selection, and the beer was cold, which is always a plus. They also have games like darts, which would be fun to come back and play. Overall, it's a decent place to watch a game if you're in the area. I won't rush back, but everything was pretty middle-of-the-road -- and to be fair, the place doesn't seem like it's trying to be anything more than that.

We came as we understood the wings were the best in Westchester County... After trying two varieties, and being on a perennial wing trail chase for the last four years... I find that title difficult to believe. Wings were meaty, cooked correctly, and came well appointed with blue cheese and celery. Plus, I'm a sucker for wing establishments that provide the wooden bowl for bones. I love that. Otherwise, I found the wings lightly sauced, and kind of dry... We tried the blazers traditional, which are fried, sauce, then refried... They needed one more dunk in sauce to be top-notch. Our second order was their teriyaki wings... much more palatable... But we're still lacking. And I'm not a huge fan of wings that are not sauced in a hot sauce base. The opportunity to add a side of wasabi sauce to any wings was a welcome addition... As we needed the moisture. We did not try any other menu items, but the pub food looked delicious... And our server was fantastic. I do look forward to going back and trying to order things slightly differently... I'll chalk this first experience up on me not really strategically placing my order or knowing how to maximize the potential of a really great place. I know next time will be better.

We had been in and it was so tasty we came back because Kelly had to work on our first visit so hoped she could experience the great food and service we enjoyed previously with Rebecca outside on their gorgeous deck. We placed our orders and they arrived timely. Unfortunately, while service from Jill was exceptional, our meal wasn't as good. The Rueben sandwich was a disappointment as the bread was very lightly toasted, you could feel a slight toast, but couldn't see it resulting in a very soggy meal to attempt to eat. Some of it, we fork/knifed. Great Rueben's are grilled and the menu description says grilled (see pics). I will say the corned beef was good as was the sour kraut. Our son had the black diamond burger which came dry, no Dijon mustard so he had to request it, which came cold in a bullet (small metal sauce holder). This resulted in it not having everything mesh as well as if it had been put on immediately while it was assembled. His fries were also Luke warm. Kelly really enjoyed her meal, she had the bay crab burger with veggies instead of fries as did I (Rueben) and they were great. Finally the hubby picked the Punjabi version of the chicken tiki masala which is just a spicy version. Again, the chef missed the mark and it came out bland. Johnny showed it to our great server Jill and she retrieved some red pepper flakes for him to add himself. It made it taste slightly better, but couldn't have been incredible if it had been incorporated with the curry while cooking so all flavors meshed. The restaurant is so pretty with multiple dining rooms for different dining experiences. While we thought the chef missed the mark on 3 out of 4 dishes, it wasn't awful and we definitely will be back. Both Rebecca and Jill are lovely, knowledgeable servers, the restaurant is always clean as are the restrooms. If it's a warm day, the deck is right on the river.

We came here because it was highly recommended and the ambience was great. In our first visit, our food took forever to arrive and service was very slow. I ordered the Reuben and when I went to pick it up, there was a large hole in the other side of the bread and the whole thing just fell apart. . The pastrami was very dry and just not very good. Aside from that my wife's meal was very good and we had a beverage and enjoyed the ambiance. This time we went and felt that we had lucked out because there was no one in the place. Our first mistake was, we sat at a high top in the bar, but it was too close to the door, so it was very cold. Every time the door opened the cold air with flow in. I put that on us for choosing a poor seat. The waitress promptly came over and took our drink order and said she would be right back to take our food order as we were very hungry. We waited and waited and it took a while for her to arrive. It looked like she forgot about us and quickly stopped by the table after walking past And asked if we were ready and took our order without writing it down. About 10 minutes later someone else came over and said I'm trying to confirm your order because it was not written down and make sure that we had ordered was ordered properly. The place had hardly anyone in it and not all the tables were taken so we expected our food to be received rather quickly however, after about a half an hour, we started seeing the tables that came in after us were receiving their orders and we still had not arrived. We both had ordered burgers which didn't seem that complicated. After about 15 more minutes, and since we'd been there, almost an hour we still had not received our food. My wife finally went up to the bar and mentioned something to someone there and she said she would go check on the kitchen. She went into the kitchen and immediately came out with our food. Strange? So we basically waited almost an hour for our food and it appeared to have been ready in the back and just sitting there. When we first tasted our food, it was not warm at all. The fries were cold and soggy, and my both of our burgers were warm not hot. This convinced me our order was there and never picked up. At first we thought about sending it back but then after waiting almost an hour, we decided just to eat it and leave. I feel bad having to leave a bad review but it is what it is and that's what happened. I would understand if the restaurant was overly crowded but like I said there was many open tables so I'm not understanding what was the issue. They were running food out, but these runners seemed a bit confused. After two tries, I'm not sure we'll try it again because we like the other place in town up the street just as much. We traveled almost an hour just to go here. There are places that are closer also much better and actually in town.
