Eating at The Lambs Club. NYC. Fine Dining in a Legendary Building next to Times Square
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 тра 2024
- I eat at and review The Lambs Club restaurant, which is right next to Times Square in Midtown Manhattan of New York City. The historic building the restaurant is situated in was designed by the notable architect Stanford White and was once the home to the famed Lambs Club theater group. It was in 2010 that The Lambs Club restaurant opened its doors with chef and Food Network star, Geoffrey Zakarian. Today, chef Jack Logue who worked at a number of Michelin Starred restaurants, is in charge of the kitchen and has crafted a menu consisting of elevated American classics and fine cuts of steak.

Slightly off subject here,....but,...nice to see someone eating with table manners. So many foodies with UA-cam channels take massive bites,...or dress like slobs when they go out to eat. I appreciate the classier approach you bring,....especially to the higher-end restaurants.
Thank you! Yeah, I try my best in that regard.
While James clearly did not "dress like a slob," to my mind a restaurant as fine as this calls for a jacket or blazer at the very least for a gentleman. (It was once very common for men to be _required_ to wear a jacket at most fine restaurants.) If I were there myself - especially by dint of an invitation - I would also wear a tie. I may be old-fashioned, but such "proper" dinner attire would help me to show my appreciation for the top-class style of the place, the solicitous service, the effort put into the food and presentation, and most of all - the invitation to dine _gratis._
@@WeeCarBoot Well,...certainly all of what you said is correct...however,...considering most young(er) people have 0 class or manners it was nice to see he wasn't in a jogging suit with a baseball hat on backwards.
@@Tonymanero1960 Ha! You are also correct... sadly. The hats-at-the-dining-table thing absolutely floors me. My father would be _scandalized_ by such boorish behaviour. As I've said to ballcap-wearers before: a gentlemen *NEVER* does this, and a lady *ALWAYS* notices it!
He actually holds the utensils, like an adult, which drives me crazy about some of the other food critics
Amazing to see you getting invited by such a legendary restaurant, I would never want to leave the coziness of that dining room and the food looked incredible
Thank you! I was lucky to get the offer. Yeah, it really was a nice place to have a meal!
All of these old-school urban social clubs have such interesting histories. most of them have gone away, except for Chicago and New York, which still seems to have quite a few.
Indeed. I really appreciate places with a good history.
I could watch these videos all day long
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Congrats on the invite! Good to see you getting the recognition you deserve
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Congratulations on being invited by the restaurant to make the video! My girlfriend and I have been watching your videos for a couple years now and it's been amazing to see your growth as a creator and eater. Knowing we get a new video from you every Monday afternoon gives us something to look forward to and starts the week off right!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support and it makes me happy to hear that you've been enjoying my videos!
OMG james my Dad was a member of The Lambs Club your reviews are amazing Thank you.
That's amazing! Thank you so much for watching!
James, that is one of the most beautiful dining experiences you have shown us. The atmosphere, the food, stunning. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! Indeed, it was a beautiful restaurant that really had it all.
That adorable little macaron at the center of a big plate was a charming addition. I'm glad you enjoyed your meal!
Yeah, I do like those bonus little treats!
please never stop making these!
I have no plans to stop. I really have a great time making and sharing these videos.
I really appreciate you keeping it real despite being invited. That's not easy to do. Looks good
Thank you! Yeah, I always have to be honest, but I'm also glad that I really liked the food. It would've been pretty awkward to make a review about it then.
Food and atmosphere was AMAZING!!! 😋
Safe Journey!
Cholula has been dethroned. Yellowbird Blue Agave Sriracha!!!
Thank you! Yeah, this restaurant really had it all.
Just discovered your channel. You deserve more views; your production is about on level with most TV shows about restaurants. Can't believe it took this long for the algorithm to recommend you to me, I watch food content regularly.
Thank you so much! I put in a lot of effort for my videos so I really appreciate the support.
Nice find, James is a low key baller on the New York food scene
This looks delicious! Can't wait to try this place. I went to make a reservation at Cote today and realized they only book tables for 2+. Dining alone should be easier!!
I know what you mean. It can definitely be frustrating for a single diner.
I’ve been watching a number of your videos now and I must say I prefer it when I see you paying for your meal. It means you’ve got more skin in the game and not being treated to a dinner. I like that you’re honest but when you pay for your food you are like “one of us” who are watching your video and will have to pay for our meal. I get that one of the key benefits of producing the video reviews that you do allows for this type of subsidizing and it’s what many UA-camrs who are trying to make money from their channel are aspiring towards. Sponsorships are great but the rest of us will be paying full price. Anyway, I’m enjoying your reviews so thanks.
Thank you! I know what you mean. I'm pretty selective when it comes to restaurants inviting me. I wouldn't go to a place that I wouldn't normally go to if I was spending my own money.
I really enjoy the reviews. I love how he describes everything he eats instead of just filming himself eat. You get a real idea of how food really is. Thanks for coming to New Haven as well. I think you cover our city well.
It's very cool that you got that invite. The wife and I looked at each other when you mentioned the invite. At that moment, we felt proud of you!. Lol. But we did. Excellent video. Hope to see you in May. Before you are Mr. Big time. 😊😊😊
Haha! Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support! Yes, I hope to see you two in May as well.
Beautifully filmed. Even the music was so elegant. …this restaurant was lucky to invite you 🥩🥃
Thank you! I tried to really make the music fit the aesthetic of the restaurant. It was a great meal!
That was nice of them to invite you. I don't typically care for sponsored videos but I know you spend a lot of money and could use a treat.
Thank you! Yeah, I was lucky to get an invite to this place especially since it was a restaurant that I wanted to go to anyways.
Your video presentation was flawless. You picked a good selection of foods and I salute your keenness to select vegetables rather than a starch for your side. Starches would have probably not allow you to finish the meal. Steak can always be slightly off (too rare, too medium) but the cut looked good.
Thank you! Yeah, it was a meal that had nice variety. While I love potatoes, I do prefer to have something on the lighter side when pairing it with a steak, which was still very good though, even if it wasn't perfect.
What a beautiful restaurant. Everything looked really good, and your skills as a presenter are near flawless. Your honesty is commendable that they comped your meal. You're doing the heavy lifting getting the word out with your time and talent, and hopefully this will be the norm for these high end places. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you for watching and the kind words! I really appreciate it and it was definitely a great restaurant!
Look at our Boi getting invited and pampered!!👀 how awesome of them to invite you dine with them. This place seems rather romantic and the food looked absolutely stunning.
Yeah, it was a great opportunity and I'm very thankful for it especially since this was a restaurant that I wanted to check out anyways. It really was a nice place!
@@Jamesnu so happy you are getting recognized for your content and work. It's a bonus you wanted to visit and appreciate that you gave the history and current ownership etc. Its nice to give the place context.
The price was right. Looked amazing.
It was a great dinner indeed!
James great video...fyi the squash was an amuse bouche.
Thank you! Indeed, I really liked it though. It was a good dish!
I’ve seen a few of your Steak videos. For a high end restaurant to send out under seasoned Steaks is a sin.
I do enjoy your work, sir. Watching you consume meals in various establishments is most relaxing.
Thank you so much!
Excellent content James. Wonderful presentation.
Thank you so much!
What a beautiful, calming atmosphere that restaurant had. I hope they get more customers!
Indeed! It's a beautiful establishment!
Amongst all the spot-on and drool-worthy elements of this video, I greatly appreciate your comment about the salt on the steak, and potentially foregoing the sauces just to experience how delicious (or not, in some cases) the meat is. Sometimes, less is more. Thanks again, James - oh man, more terrific camera work, narrative and music. This channel is firing on all cylinders.
Thank you! Yeah, I do love a good salt on a steak and getting the full flavor of the meat, but those were definitely some good sauces.
The camera work, the music, and your narration blended seamlessly with the ambience of the restaurant and the presentation of the food. Keep up the great work James!
Thank you so much!
Thank you James for this dining experience! As a former native New "Yawker" I had dined at hot dog stands to fine restaurants as a resident there for so many years. The choices on the menu look inventive and delicious. It has been an interesting culinary journey since we subscribed to your channel. I've even recreated some the the dishes you ate. Bravo & thumbs up!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support!
Awesome to see you getting recognition from restaurants and being invited James!
Thank you! I was lucky to have this opportunity.
Headwaters crystal river fl. My friend when restaurants in Manhattan invite you, you have arrived! What an honor. The food was incredible, what got me believe it or not was the squash, how beautiful and tasty was that! The steak was medium but not overly done, it happens. All the sauces served with the steak was impressive! Bernaise served with a steak in Florida is hard to find sometimes, love it. Look forward to the next review.
Thank you so much! I was really fortunate to be able to dine there. It definitely was a great meal!
I went to the lambs club in 2017 when Jeffery was still there. The food and service were fabulous as was the dining room.
One of the top ten meals I’ve had.
Fantastic!
The steak looked perfectly mr....
What a beautiful restaurant.
Indeed! It was beautiful and the steak was very good, but I thought that it was more of a medium. I should've shined a light on the steak because the red plate and my camera made it look a little more pink than it actually was.
Looks delicious. You definitely don't waste any food. 😊 Always great to see a new video. Should be at 25k subscribers soon 👍
Thank you! Yeah, I hate wasting food, but it was so good that it wasn't much of a problem to eat it all.
@Jamesnu appreciate you taking the time to respond to comments. One day you'll be too famous to answer them 😊
@ldeanjr2 Haha! We'll see. If someone takes the time to watch my videos, I feel that it's only right to respond to their comments. Although, I do get a lot of them these days and it can be easy to miss one, I do really appreciate all of them.
Wow James, I loved the dining room at the Lambs Club and the food looked so incredibly beautiful and delicious. I'm not usually a big soup guy, but that soup looked velvety ( is that a word?.. well you know what I mean) and heavenly! You know I never really noticed the music you play in the background. But in this video it really stood out and added so much to the experience of watching your video. Now I feel like I have to re-watch your other videos to enjoy the music too! Thanks again for taking us on this delightful dinner at the Lamb's club 🙏🏼
Thanks for watching! Velvety would be the perfect description for that soup. It was excellent! Yeah, I try my best to find good music to pair with my videos, but sometimes it can be a bit of a challenge. I'm happy with how the music went with this video.
Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Well deserved! Thank you for all your work. I really enjoy watching your videos. This is my kind of Monday treat.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
Another enjoyable episode. The calm contrast of the restaurants interior compared to the frantic noise of Times Square is difficult to ignore. A thoroughly enjoyable experience to be able to “escape” the outside world and relax in such a serene environment. Best of all with great food.
Touche!
Indeed! It's so nice that a place like this is only steps away from Times Square.
Quality speaks for itself!
Indeed!
Great review- looks like an amazing restaurant! I will be back in NYC next April and would love to try it.
Thank you! It's definitely a restaurant worth checking out especially if one is in the Times Square area.
Wow , definitely will be going to lambs club next time in New York
I hope that you enjoy it!
Excellent vid, FABULOUS !
Thank you!
An excellent establishment among all the chain restaurants! Great video!
Thank you! Yeah, this restaurant really stands out among the typical Times Square offerings.
Again a very good video. Before my next visit of New York i will definitely screen all your videos again, to get some inspirations what to visit. Your subscribers going also up faster and faster. A compliment to your high quality works. Greetings from snowy Germany
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
While I tend to avoid Midtown, I'll keep this on my radar! I love the old school NYC vibe going on here. Chimichurri is my favorite steak topping if I decide to add one, and those carrots look phenomenal! Wonderful review as always sir!
Thank you! Yeah, the atmosphere really made it a special place! Indeed, those carrots were incredible!
Looks simply amazing, being poor my whole life it Is my dream to one day visit New York and eat at a place like this
I really hope that you get to come here someday!
Beautiful restaurant the food looked amazing and your view was wonderful ❤
Indeed! I really enjoyed it!
You could only go with an old fashioned in them surroundings James!
Indeed! A classic drink for classic surroundings!
This boy can eat!
It's my favorite thing to do!
The last time I was there it was eerily quiet. There was Silence in the Lambs! 😉
Haha!
@@Jamesnu 🥂
Excellent dining experience! I'm checking it out the next time I'm in New York😊
It was amazing!
Way to go… getting yourself invited to a restaurant and being noticed. You do a fine job of reviews. The restaurant ambience was perfect and very inviting and set the mood for eating some fantastic food. Everything looked amazing that you ate. I would love all those steak sauces. Great job. Thanks you for the video.
Thanks for watching! Yeah, I was thankful for the opportunity. It was a great experience!
Nice review again, James. As I've aged, like your cocktail, I never pass up an opportunity to have soup, and soup was well illustrated in the review.
Everything looked great, and I think the mood of your presentation probably exemplified that of the restaurant.
You said you wondered why the place wasn't packed. That may be, in part, why they invited you. Some marketing person suggested a sensible way to draw in new diners... and you've done everything right in terms of full disclosure.
So The Lamb's Club is now on my list.
Thank you! It was indeed a really nice place and I'm sure you're right in that regard of why I was invited. It's hard for even really good restaurants to succeed in NYC when there's just so much competition out there. Hopefully, this fine place will get the crowds they deserve. Also, I did go early on a Monday night so I'm sure it's probably a bit more filled on weekends.
Great review and congratulations on the 20k subs!
Looks delicious, seems pricey for the amount of food serving. However it does have a great atmosphere, fantastic service and good food.
Thank you so much! Yeah, the restaurant really delivers on all fronts!
6:14 - ...if that isn't a Chicago accent I don't know what is : )
From one former Chicagoan to another - great video!
Haha! Thank you!
Just subscribed man you’re doing great amazing content!! I’m from New Mexico so soon I’ll travel and taste these amazing foods you have presented 🎉
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
Wow... that looked like one of the best meals I've seen you review. It's a downpour here in Vancovuer this evening and that soup looked like it would've been perfect!!!
I hope that rain clears up, but yeah, it was a great meal!
Love your restaurants/food reviews! Keep it coming 🎉
Thank you so much!
Great review I went there this year and loved it. No lamb though they said sometimes they have it sometimes dont. This is one of best in times Square. Also if you want to eat one of best Italian and old go to Barbetta on Restaurant row. Not many videos on it and it opened In 1905 go when it's not pre theater menu. Lots of history never been reviewed in times
I'm glad to hear that you had a good experience! I never even thought about having lamb at The Lambs Club, but that's a good point. Thank you for the recommendation as well! I'll look it up.
@@Jamesnu great it's one of the most beautiful restaurants in city old fashion and great outdoor fountain. I'll be at Noksu Dec 16 as my next big restaurant and probably Delmonicos after that. Trying to see Stereophonic it's a off bwy play loosely based on the making of Fleetwood Mac rumors album and the run is sold out so I'm trying to get stand by tix
Added to my must enjoy list! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
You really clean off your plates! No food morsel is left behind. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for watching! I love food and I hate seeing it go to waste.
That looked really good. I will certainly look into going there on my next trip to NYC.
It was great! I hope you enjoy it!
An amazing presentation. Once again! Good work!!
Thank you so much!
Great review!
Thank you!
just a gorgeous video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! relaxing to watch, pure vibey mood!!!!!
Thank you!
Bravo James! All looked excellent and I'm so glad you found it to be a fine dining experience. Btw, how did you manage to get invited to The Lambs Club? Just curious. Ciao.
Thank you! It was a great experience! I was invited by a nice guy who works with restaurants. I met him once and we share a mutual friend.
great review! btw you're one of the few people that don't make me cringe when seeing them eat on screen.
Haha! Thank you!
As always James you review with great detail and color. The Lambs seems to be a remarkable restaurant and lucky to have you as a patron. Thanks for yet another great review and wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a happy new year
Thank you so much! It was definitely a nice restaurant for a meal. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you and your family as well!
James, hitting the big time man. Invited for a freebee, I like it.
Yeah, I was very thankful for the opportunity!
This looks like such a cozy place, I would be interested for sure if I ever find myself in NYC. You can just tell that caramel sauce on the sundae was amazing!
Indeed! It had a great atmosphere and that sundae was delicious!
That steak looked perfectly cooked, better than most steak houses that slather their meat in pools of butter
Also excellent review as always James, as a New York resident embarrassed not knowing about this fantastic and historic restaurant, can’t wait to experience it in person
Thank you! I know what you mean. There's a ton of amazing places that I'm just learning about too.
Love this channel!! The Art of Food is mighty important......at least to us Men!! Timmy C Arizona
Thank you! I appreciate it!
great vids! subbed
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
Thanks!
Wow! Thank you so much! That's so kind! I really appreciate it!
amazing video. i want to live in nyc now
Thank you! It's an amazing city!
Such an honor that you got invited to eat there - that's a really nice restaurant. It's a little too expensive for me (maybe I could do their bar menu) but the food looked really amazing (the squash dish they gave you looked so good). (Also really nice you still left a nice tip).
I'm really thankful to have gotten that opportunity. It's a great restaurant! Yeah, the service was fantastic and it was only right to leave a good tip.
the cost is not too bad for such fine dining. expert review. you should try the petrossian next or afternoon tea at one of the hotels
Thank you! I'll keep those places in mind.
I recommend doing a video review of The Waverly Inn..which was an "it" spot scene restaurant back in 2007 - 2010..but it's still a great restaurant minus the paparazzi now..check out Frank Bruni's and Adam Platt's great reviews from back in the day
That's been a restaurant that I've been wanting to check out. I'll definitely make a video about it when I do.
@@Jamesnu I was one of the token nobodys that had a regular table there..I could give tons of historical insight about its glory days..check out Chef John DeLucie's book The Hunger which covers his tenure at The Waverly Inn
Hello my friend, I hope you can remember me. I watched and enjoyed your videos since the beginning. Since I am on a massive digital detox these days, I missed out on a few of your lastr videos. I hope everything is alright and I wish you and the family a merry christmas and a great start to the new year. Best regards Boris
Thank you Boris! Of course I remember you and I've always appreciated your support. I hope you and your family have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year as well!
Try Burn's restauant in Tampa, Florida! Its wonderful!!
It's definitely a restaurant that I want to try in the future. Thank you for the recommendation!
Damn, you are getting noticed to be invited by restaurant. Good job on the video, keep it up 👍
Thank you! Yeah, it was a great opportunity!
James is a master of language. Did I hear “palate fatigue” and “mouth feel?”
🤔
Thanks! I try!
You really have great content. You should have a lot moRE subs than you do.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
well done
Thank you so much!
you have talent; it should be appreciated@@Jamesnu
@@senator1295 Thank you!
You make some solid content my friend...fucking solid!
That was a huge amount of food and certainly worth the price (well, the real price, not yours) in my opinion. Great video of a place that I'd never heard of...
Thank you! Yeah, it was a ton of good food and I thought that it was priced fairly.
Bro indroducted me to the term " palate fatigue" subscribe
introduced*
Haha! Thank you!
I prefer your reviews compared to UA. No fluff, no clikckbait just right to the meat of the issue.
Thank you so much!
Interested in the photo of how the cutlery was left on the plate after the squash dish, can you explain please
When I finished eating, I placed all my silverware on the plate.
The Peter Luger sauce is not intended for the steak, its for the tomato/onion app, salads, and bacon.
Talk about deserving of a good belch after such a fine meal
I know what you mean.
was your visit recent? the menu price looked pretty cheap for current market. for what u ordered, $181 for 1 person is pretty good.
Yeah, I went there right at the end of November. I thought that the pricing was definitely fair.
@@Jamesnu awesome, i will definitely try out this restaurant as per your recommendation. great content, keep up the good work!
@@OperationNonsense Thank you! I hope you enjoy it!
One stupid question: Do you not eat for a couple of days before visiting these restaurants? The amount you chow down is remarkable.
Haha! I at least ate a light lunch.
Nice place but crazy prices!!!
Yeah, it's definitely expensive.
Great reviews...One distraction is if you could set the camera more at face level or above face level so we don't stare up your nostrils while eating...Just a Zoom pet peeve of mine...
Thank you! Yeah, it's tough sometimes placing my camera on the tables at restaurants. There are times when the table is too small and I can't get everything in the frame so I have to place the camera at a lower level. Plus, putting a tripod on the table could be a bit distracting for other diners.
You're just so lovely in every way!
Thank you!
waygu seemed nice
It was very tasty!
What else was in the soup??
I think that those were potatoes.
Do you always dress up to eat at places like these?
Would hoodie and jeans be frowned upon?
I don't think that this restaurant has a dress code. In fact most restaurants don't seem to have one these days. I would say most of the other diners did dress up a little bit, but for me, I really don't mind what a person wears.
