"A companion English-accented venue that, together with its sister spot, has added theatricality and inventive British-inspired dishes to the neighborhood dining scene." - David Farley
"One of Eater’s best new restaurants in America of 2023 is open on Mondays. Lord’s is Dame’s Patricia Howard and Ed Szymanski second of three restaurants (the third being newcomer Crevette). The British-leaning bistro serves the type of food that coursed its way through New York’s gastronomic zeitgeist more than a decade years ago that’s seeing a revival. For dinner, this means hay-smoked trout, crispy pig’s heads, poached cod with butter beans and mussels, and corned beef and cabbage pies." - Melissa McCart
"If you can’t get into Dame (you can’t), the same team can supply you with more upscale British food a few blocks away at Lord’s. This modern British bistro has excellent takes on classic fare like scotch eggs, pig’s head terrine, and a rotating daily meat pie. The space feels like a cross between a Hogwarts professor’s office and a trendy bar, making it the perfect choice for cold-weather date nights." - team infatuation
"Lord's in Greenwich Village only makes 12 of these bad boys a day. So getting your hands on one requires a reservation at a time that starts with five. The burger, blanketed in a layer of sharp Welsh Rarebit, is worth the fuss. It’s served on a pretzel bun with a slab of onion, making the whole thing supremely savory. Between the burger, the excellent cocktails, and the comfortable pub vibe, Lord's is a great place for a date. So bring someone you like and tack on an order of proper English chips." - will hartman, bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, kenny yang
"Lord’s feels like a cross between a Hogwarts professor’s office and a trendy Greenwich Village restaurant, and it's perfect for casual date nights. In addition to a great selection of mocktails, this Soho spot also has a full section for non-alcoholic apéritifs—and they’re the perfect bitter, herbaceous counterpoints to the rich British pub food they serve here." - carina finn koeppicus, bryan kim
