British Restaurants in New York, NY

“Lords was a 3.5 - 4 star experience through and through. I walked by this place one morning and decided to check it out for dinner. The food is solid, likely nothing you’ll write home about. The menu is creative and there are a lot of options for everyone, which I did appreciate.

Scotch Egg: I started with the scotch egg which was maybe the one item I was looking forward to most and I was slightly disappointed. It’s solid. If you’re curious about it, get it. But I will say I found it dry and while flavorful, fell short in the tzatziki esq sauce that accompanied it. The egg was perfectly cooked though.

Snap pea salad: if you’re looking for a refreshing salad this will do the job. The snap peas were great and so was the sheep’s cheese. The dressing maybe could’ve used some more pizzaz.

Chips: Hot, crispy, a little oily. Mine was very very salty. Overall, enjoyed.

Duck Mince Pie: I wanted to love this. It was solid, but it wasn’t great. The pastry left a little bit to be desired and for $40 you’re just kinda sitting there wondering if it was worth it. The duck was lovely though and the sauce the pie sat it was also very tasty (enjoyed dipping my chips in it).

Apple Rhubarb Crisp: Very good! Once the honey ice cream melts and the flavor comes together, this hits the spot. I appreciated that it wasn’t too sweet.

Vibes: The restaurant is decorated very cute and homey. The large bathroom has maybe the prettiest toilet seat I’ve ever seen + funny framed wall quotes by the sink. However, as other diners have said, the ambient noise level in the restaurant is quite loud, which makes it hard to hear your dinner party at times. I think they would benefit from some noise absorbing decor or better spacing some of the tables.“

“Harmony our waitress was awesome, this place has the feel like you are in your home town.“

“Very cozy atmosphere. Had a great time!“

“I can't imagine a better restaurant for any occasion!!!!! All the dishes are masterpieces!!! We have never eaten anything tastier!!! The chef is a magician!!! Here in this restaurant my husband gave me an angement ring, in this restaurant we celebrate birthdays and our anniversaries and wedding days. We recommend it to everyone!!!“

“Great beer selection and yummy British inspired food selections. Friendly staff. Pretty venue and neat loo/bathrooms.“

“I’ve eaten here twice and even spilled a strawberry margarita & it was replaced. The staff is great the food is awesomely delicious and Jake & Gray made both visits so worth while. Thank you both! And thank you Burgers & Lobster!! 😊“

“The best British Restaurant in the city! They have a great selection of foods that any true Brit would crave. Both my husband and myself have been a regular patron for several years and will continue to be for many more to come! I just hope one day they add a cheese and salad cream sandwich to the menu!“

“We’re not from NYC, but whenever we are in town we visit the Milton. Amazing food, great atmosphere, and they truly make you feel at home. I wish this place was in my hometown so I could be one of the regulars. I will 100% come back any time I’m in the city.“

“GMT Tavern is a true gem in Greenwich Village. It is one of the few remaining quality pubs downtown that strikes the perfect balance between atmosphere, hospitality, and great food and drinks. I've been coming here for years, whether for a pint and conversation, post-marathon gatherings, or work events, and it never disappoints.

Unlike many downtown spots that feel like nightclubs or dives, GMT has the charm of a classic London pub—sophisticated yet unpretentious, with a welcoming and down-to-earth vibe. It’s a fantastic spot to grab a break from the hyper-commercial, often overwhelming energy of SoHo, whether you're visiting NYU, shopping nearby, or just looking for a relaxed place to unwind.

The beer selection is excellent, and their Guinness is poured to perfection. It’s also a great place to watch soccer, with TVs that enhance the experience without dominating the atmosphere. Last week, we had a fantastic server—attentive, professional, and friendly—and everything we ordered was on point. The giant pretzel was a standout, a perfectly executed pub snack that paired beautifully with a pint.

With cozy indoor seating and outdoor tables when the weather’s nice, GMT is the kind of spot you keep coming back to. I don’t live in NYC anymore, but I try to drop in whenever I’m in town. We’ll definitely host more gatherings here—the Village needs more spots like this!“

“Great food. Very comfortable. Wait staff were wonderful.“

“Not exactly a "British" pub. Been in here for 10 mins and no one has accused me of looking at them "funny"...nice pint of Pride tho'“

“The Winslow is hands down one of the best bars in NYC. From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel right at home. They are genuinely friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. Whether you’re a regular or it’s your first time, you’re treated like part of the crew. And the drinks? Absolutely top-notch. Their gin selection is nothing short of impressive, easily one of the most extensive I’ve seen in the city. Whether you’re into classic G&Ts or adventurous gin cocktails, there’s something here that will blow you away. The bartenders know their stuff and are happy to make personalized recommendations based on your taste. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxed night out, a catch-up with friends, or even a casual date. The vibes are great, the drinks are amazing, and the team truly elevates the experience. The Winslow is a must-visit!“

“Great for dinner while watching a game“

“This victorian inspired restaurant was very pleasant to the eyes. It really looks like you’re stepping back in time. I hear they offer an afternoon tea. I would like to come back and try that someday but we were here for dinner and it was wonderful. We had the lobster ravioli, and the steak and frites. Everyone we came in contact with was attentive and pleasant. They also have a full bar so I imagine they have a great cocktail hour or so.“

“The food here makes me happy. I want to become a regular so I can try everything they offer. The restaurant shows quality through minor touches. I appreciated how attentive and courteous everyone remained. I guarantee this restaurant provides quality.“
