Drew MinnearNovember 2, 2015All of the entrees I've tried are fantastic. Beautiful seafood maffe, tender steak in a brilliant sauce, spicy and delicious duck pasta, and the lamb dibi is super flavourful!
jasmine jeffersonSeptember 3, 2015Lobster rolls are amazing !!! Happy Hour 5-8pm. Margaritas are great. Amazing atmosphere. Best to get here when it first opens because it's empty
Harlem AmbassadorDecember 28, 2014On (2) levels with the smallest bar known to mankind. Don't let that fool you as the drinks are known to make up for that in oomph! The hours are wildly inconsistent, but when they are open,a fun crew
Sir Charles AnthonySeptember 11, 2014The ambiance and the music make it a special place, not just another foodie find. I can see a lot of quality events being done at his venue.
Ms HeleneFebruary 25, 2017Grilled fish of the day with red pepper sauce and Attleke $22. Live bands on Fridays no cover
Joarvonia SkipwithAugust 8, 2013Love the Farafina Cocktail! A pretty drink bursting with flavor. Waiting on Carl Gustave & his band to start playing @ 9pm!
They often have open mic nights or performances that can add $10-$20 in cover charges to your dining experience
Jessica JadeJanuary 3, 2016Seems like it has great food, but if you have a gluten allergy or celiac, please note that they are unaware that flour contains gluten.
Great happy hour and the band is fantastic! Harlem best hidden gem!- Great place with fantastic food and phenomenal performers.
