My foodie friend Alfred dragged me here for the lamb burgers. Despite the high bar he set, I gotta say the burger met EVERY expectation. It was fabulous, with thick-cut fries, too.

The caramel popcorn and nut combo is expensive but it's also ridiculously delicious. Eat some with a cask beer--the house Spotted Pig ale or whatever else is on the beer engine. Mmmhhmm.

Continues the Ace Hotel tradition of modern style, infused with rockstar swagger. The medium rare, slightly gamey lamb burger topped with feta cheese and crispy red onions is the house fav. Read more

great hideaway for a power lunch. don't miss the scotch egg, the roasted cauliflower, or the duck soup.

Definitely meat-centric sort of place. I indulged in a rich and succulent lamb burger. Spot was quieter than expected for a Sunday afternoon. Is it me or do they need to turn up the lighting?

The oysters with pickle juice are a must! Also had the fattoush, lamb burger and lamb shank. Every bite was superb. It's an incredibly loud restaurant.

The atmosphere of this Bar is awesome... Anything made with pork this people are experts. An extraordinary wine list.

Inviting and warm ambience - almost like a hunting lodge. Sit in a booth if you can.The Caesar salad and Scrumpets (breaded + deep fried lamb sticks) were amazing!

Just excellent! Everything is delicious! I recommend the Greek yogurt for breakfast! A bit pricy but nothing exaggerated for the area

A dark and wintery interior with quirky food like fried peanut butter sandwich with bourbon sauce for brunch. Some classics like yogurt with poached fruits, honey and pistachio brittle toppings too.
Roniel TesslerMay 24, 2017
Stupendous! Every course! The chicken liver Madeira paté, caeser salad was perfectly sauced, lamb burger 😋 , poussin, and roasted broccoli.

insane wait most of the time, but also wonderfully cozy. menu is meat meat meat. try the scotch egg or lamb burger. great wine selection too.

Three cheese sandwich has the density of a dying star. It comes two different ways: with a big piece of ham and a runny egg in the middle (bfast), or with onion marmalade and thick mustard (lunch).

We did the Chef's table with the whole roasted pig. Gotta reserve in advance, but if you've got a larger party, I can't recommend it enough. It was awesome!
DaveFebruary 19, 2015
The food was superb but some real annoyances with this place: the steak takes an hour to cook, so don't order it unless you have time. And they won't seat you without every single member of your party

Ultra-rich scrumpets are a must. Razor clams, seared turbot, and bittersweet chocolate parfait are also worth the wait. – Green Guide Editor

Long tables covered in butcher paper and reclaimed-wood flooring make this restaurant inside the Ace Hotel a cozy spot to sample some hearty British fare. Read more

The Breslin Lobby Bar has begun offering 6 different punch bowls that will get up to 12 drinkers tipsy! Go try a few out this evening. Read more

Interesting place, nice food but have to order before midnight and we had to wait more than 1hour for a quick razor clam. The guys are nice and welcoming maybe another time around 8pm ...!

They may call them “chips” here, but don’t be fooled: They’re triple fried. And once you try one of these golden-brown beauties you’ll realize the third time’s the charm. Read more

Come early as they get busy. Or just go to the bar upstairs where it isn't busy and order food at the bar. The bartender there makes some awesome drinks!

Booth No. 40 is closest to the open kitchen and has curtains that can be drawn for privacy. There’s also a call button for the server, iPhone and BlackBerry chargers and dimmers for the lights. Read more

Good great googly moogly. The bass with head, the 30oz. Ribeye and the lamb burger are astronomically good. Also the Over The Edge for a cocktail adventure.
Tina ZMarch 15, 2018
Cozy interior, great service. Not many vegetarian options at dinner, but it’s nice to drink in the ambience (and the cider on tap)
Halstead PropertyNovember 15, 2012
Always known for their eclectic fare, their Thanksgiving menu is no different. 4 courses include options like chopped-liver toast with pumpkin fondue and a cabbage salad with pecorino.
Max WendkosSeptember 13, 2017
The lamb burger here is often named as one of New York's best burgers. While I thought it was good, I wouldn't say it's quite *that* good.

Great for big groups, but my favorite is to sit at the bar solo, order the scotch egg, a drink, and the lamb burger.
Jeffrey KaoJanuary 31, 2017
The lamb burger is a great solo dish. If you've got a big party, you can order an entire piggy ahead of time!
Tony XerriApril 25, 2013
I never leave this place without having a whiskey sour with egg whites. They do it insanely right here. Do yourself a favor and get one immediately, day or night, 24/7. Avoid the business bros.

The team behind the Spotted Pig brings this new gastropub that projects a certain swagger. Chef April Bloomfield’s knack for unusual meats is evident, and the menu reads a bit like Dickens. Read more

Order a bunch of stuff and share with your table mates. Scotch egg was great, lamb burger divine. Can't really go wrong with anything.
Nikki BassNovember 9, 2014
Went for brunch without a reservation and had to wait 30 minutes. Service not fast but food is really unique and tasty. The gingerbread/carrot pancakes were so worth it!
Deanna VincentSeptember 26, 2013
You must order the side of radishes with marjoram - roasted radishes are incredible. Who knew? Loved the Scotch egg - cooked to perfection.

the best seats in the place: at the upstairs bar (much less crowded). if you're feeling light, small plates: pork scratchings, scotch egg, etc. if you're hungry: lamb burger, pork belly, etc.
Dan PericoneApril 23, 2019
Scotch egg , lamb burger and Breslin breakfast are all really good. They also make really good bloody Mary’s.
Chrissy KMarch 6, 2016
I had the Lamb burger, scotch egg, Bombay mix, pork shoulder. Everything ordered was pretty good.

Amazing for an early breakfast meeting - just the right amount of crowded and fantastic simple staple dishes

Ive eaten the lamb burger--twice--now i can die. Upstairs is very civilized. Ive never had a problem getting seats upstairs, downstairs or the lobby. Maybe im there early. Funky event space w speakers

You can special request the fried chicken feast ahead of time. Do it. Best decision of your life.

Just off the lobby of the equally cool Ace Hotel, it’s a dark, wooden bar and restaurant with taxidermy touches and tattooed serving staff http://barchick.com/find-a-bar/new-york/breslin

What you're going to do is get here early as the wait can be long. Then, you sit down and look at the menu. Order some drinks, hear the specials, discuss the menu. THEN ORDER THE LAMB BURGER.

I love April Bloomfield’s new place. Really hip, and the food is amazing. A perfect lunch or brunch spot while out running around in NYC. -Susan Feniger, Top Chef

You can try two Where to Eat 2011 picks under one roof; after dinner here head across the Ace lobby to the new John Dory for a dessert of the excellent eccles cake. Featured in Where to Eat 2011! Read more

Great atmosphere for a dinner with a group of friends. Order the pig... If not, all their meat is great anyway.
ivy♥May 30, 2011
I'm amazed this place is awarded with Michelin star. Anyhow, the grilled cheese sandwich is excellent! The big con? Service is über slow! And I was there at 8am when it's almost empty!
RonniDecember 16, 2015
I had the quinoa pepper and egg which I thought was too saucy and salty for me. We also had the kale bacon and egg which was super good
Jordan KongNovember 10, 2012
Lamb burger is indeed very good, but i preferred the strumpets and the roasted brussel sprouts with chutney.
Audrey HallApril 29, 2017
The lamb burger medium rare with feta and red onion was AMAZING!
Mariama RentoyAugust 16, 2014
The bar looks closed from the outside but just open the doors and you'll find a good selection of beers! Nice place to pass the time.
