The Clocktower Menu
RestaurantThe Clocktower at 5 Madison Ave brings an elegant, contemporary British sensibility to New York dining, balancing comforting classics with polished seafood, steaks, seasonal vegetables, desserts, and a sophisticated drinks program. The menu moves easily from breakfast and weekend brunch to a more indulgent dinner, with cocktails, wine, beer, non-alcoholic drinks, coffee, and tea rounding out the experience.
Breakfast favorites include the full English Breakfast, Buttermilk Pancakes, and Classic Benedict, while dinner showcases signatures such as Fish & Chips, the Dry Aged Burger, Beef Wellington for Two, and Braised Short Rib Pie. Current main courses generally run from about $27 to $68, with the Beef Wellington for Two at $128, positioning the restaurant firmly in upscale territory. Portions pair premium ingredients with careful preparation, from dry-aged meats and fresh seafood to seasonal produce and house-made accompaniments.
Vegetarian-friendly salads, oatmeal, avocado toast, vegetable sides, and pasta provide lighter choices, while some dishes can suit gluten-conscious diners; specific dietary requirements should be confirmed with the restaurant. Breakfast and brunch offer several approachable choices for younger diners, although there is no dedicated children's menu shown on the current official menu. The range works particularly well for refined breakfasts, leisurely brunches, date-night dinners, business meals, and celebratory group dining.
Menu Highlights
Beef Wellington for Two - A centerpiece for sharing, combining richly flavored beef with classic accompaniments, whipped potatoes, roasted seasonal vegetables, and bordelaise. Its generous format makes it especially appealing for celebratory dinners.
Fish & Chips - Ale-battered cod arrives crisp outside and tender within, accompanied by mushy peas, triple-cooked chips, and seaweed tartar sauce. It is a polished rendition of an unmistakably British favorite.
Dry Aged Burger - Deeply savory dry-aged beef is layered with bacon, cheddar, Churchill sauce, red onion, and pickles. Rich flavors and crisp chips make this one of the menu's most satisfying comfort-food choices.
Braised Short Rib Pie - Slow-cooked beef delivers tender, concentrated richness, complemented by cheddar curds, morel mushrooms, and vin jaune. The combination turns a traditional savory pie into an upscale main course.
Tandoori Chicken - Fragrant spices meet coconut basmati rice, almonds, pistachios, raisins, and cooling cucumber-cilantro yogurt. Sweet, nutty, savory, and tangy notes create a particularly well-balanced plate.
Scotch Egg - A British pub classic served with refreshing cucumber raita, pairing a hearty, savory center with a cooling contrast. At $14, it is an approachable introduction to The Clocktower's British-inspired cooking.
Warm Sticky Toffee Pudding - Soft, warm pudding comes with crystallized pecans, glossy toffee sauce, and Bird's custard ice cream. Rich caramel sweetness and contrasting textures make it a natural finish to dinner.
