Lord’s: An Elegant English Bistro in Greenwich Village
From chefs Ed Szymanski and Patricia Howard, the duo behind nearby Dame, Lord’s is a modern English nose-to-tail bistro on LaGuardia Place. Since opening in 2022 it’s landed on best-new-restaurant lists and in the Michelin Guide, trading in cozy banquettes, a disco-leaning soundtrack, and a genuinely serious wine cellar.
The cooking is refined but playful: Scotch eggs, oysters Kirkpatrick, deviled crab, steak and chips, and a legendary off-menu burger that only a dozen or so lucky diners get each night. It’s a date-night and special-occasion room, so book ahead through Resy and come ready to eat well.
What to Expect
Lord’s does not have a happy hour. It’s an upscale British bistro focused on dinner and weekend brunch, with a deep wine list and cocktails but no discounted drink window on record. Plan a full meal rather than a quick after-work stop.
The Room
A cozy, elegant-but-playful English bistro of around 60 seats, full of banquettes and intimate nooks, with a disco-heavy playlist and a serious wine list. The mood is refined yet fun, ideal for dates and celebrations.
