The wife and I visited NYC on holiday. She has been really wanting to try Beef Wellington, so we decided this would be a really great choice. For starters, we ordered the Scoched egg and beef tartare. Coming from someone with zero experience in fine dining. These dishes I mention are an absolute must! For our main dishes, we ordered Beef Wellington and the Porterhouse. The preparation of both dishes was presented very well and of course, they were delicious!On to the dessert! They served us with the Baked Alaska and Sticky Toffee Pudding. The waitress said they were amazing choices for dessert. The drinks of choice were the Honeysuckle, Dill or no Dill, Thread the needle, and Paper Plane. There are options to pair the desserts with a wine, but we figured since we already had our drinks, we didn't really need to order more.Onto the atmosphere, fine, calm with excellent mood lighting and service. We dressed up for dinner, but it is not necessary, more business casual than anything.

Good food, lamb cooked perfectly. Great dessert, which they were able to whip up despite dinner being closed, and staff somehow knew it was my birthday. Beautiful space with a clubby atmosphere (the private kind, not the night kind). Will have to come back for dinner!

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

Good food, great atmosphere+decor but service was 10/10. Our server Natalia was the most pleasant server I’ve ever interacted with. Just great service.

This is a hidden gem! It's located on the second floor of the Edition Hotel. When standing in the park, look for the building with the clock and you'll spot it right away. lol. Three of us went for brunch and we all enjoyed our meals... crab cakes and avocado toast, and bloody Marys. Service was friendly and well paced. Afterwards we moved to the bar and enjoyed some cocktails. The greenpoint and marayuca were awesome. I could've had 10 of them but I didn't. The space is bit dark but fun and there's a room with a pool table. I recommend popping in for food or drinks or both.

I just had brunch here with my friends; we had a wonderful time. The service is polite and attentive. The rooms are beautiful and lavish. The pancakes are delicious and tea is great. Thank you again for your hospitality. I booked brunch at Clocktower because I reserved one of their private rooms for my office Holiday Party. Now that I've been here, I'm super excited for my office to enjoy this venue.

Yesterday, we celebrated my boyfriend's birthday at the restaurant, and while the food was good, our experience was overshadowed by the demeanor of our server, Eduardo, who made us feel uncomfortable by acting as though he was above us. A few examples would include: almost throwing the complimentary birthday dessert on the table as well as the check even we did not ask for it, we also asked him to pause on lighting the candle because we wanted to take a video but he ignored our wishes and lit it up anyways. Both my friend and I were sure to ask this vocally multiple times so he definitely heard us. We also advised him early on that I was allergic to almonds so anything with nuts I wanted to be extra careful, the complimentary birthday dessert had nuts and nothing was told to me until I bit into it already. The attention to detail lacked greatly and the human touch is not there which degrades the entire atmosphere of the restaurant. We will go back to the clocktower again because the food itself is good but Eduardo left a such an impression that I will ask that my server is NOT him when I return. I hope the management team will take steps to properly train their staff in customer service as this is crucial to any restaurant business. You can't have great food for with shitty service.. deducted 3 stars because of service.

A go to for our family. Evan always takes great care of us, and remembers us by name when we stop in. Food consistent whether its breakfast or dinner. The Edition is wicked smart to have Stephen Starr's restaurant inside!

Came here for a dinner with a friend and really enjoyed the ambiance. The beef wellington was to die for. The meat was very tender and the pastry was buttery and flakey. We also enjoyed the beef carpaccio. Service was a bit slow but the food was worth the wait.
