E Vera: Tried the ceviche, quesadilla tapa, and sirloin: everything was superb 👌
Harlem Ambassador: Chorizo app is worth the visit alone. Skirt steak is flavorful. Sangrias are a must but low ABV drinks are available for mojitos, margs and other nonwine bar options. Tapas are tops and so is pricing!
Nia: Tacos are best during happy hour!

Louisa Rigali: Brunch on Saturday. I got the granola and yogurt--pretty good! Great relaxing atmosphere.
Aliana Soto: No South African wines...let the waiter know we are in Harlem, let's connect with the community a little more. Looking forward to their wine menu being more reflective of the community.
Mike Street: Nice Bar and delicious drinks. A nice addition to Harlem.

Stay Uptown: The Winery has the most well informed and approachable staff in NYC. The shop is user friendly and beautiful to browse in carrying small batch wines. We say start a conversation. You won't regret it.
Prettyface Princess: their wine tastings on Fridays are very nice and enjoyable.
Ro: Helpful description cards on most all of the wines. 20% off for your first check-in. (Unfortunately I checked in after I paid.) They also wrap the wine when u ask. Ask!

__TR3V: Get there before 1pm to beat the church crowd for Sunday brunch. The French toast and the chicken panini are great options to try. Opt for the bottomless mimosas. Well worth it
Harlem Ambassador: Finally an eatery that gives good service, good wine, good food and good face. This is one good looking staff. Check out their gay night for the hipster folk with cash.
Stephanie Mahan: $10 unlimited brunch mimosas and excellent food. Outdoor cafe now open! Service exceptional. Who needs Harlem Tavern?

Halstead Property: Halstead agent Adrian Thompkins loved the hearty French fare and great ambiance. Cedric is great for meeting clients or friends. The salmon club is a nice twise to an old sandwich standard.

Harlem Ambassador: Decadent and delicious. The atmosphere is tres chic. The downer, is the attitude may be also. Don't take it personal. They're French! Fine wines and service give you reason to return. Nice street view

Sean Berg: Great Brunch place in Harlem. Sidewalk Cafe seating on a nice day or evening. GREAT Bloody Mary!!
Nicola Medrano: Mustafa is the most gracious, humble & efficient waiter. Tuna tar tar, tuna nicoise, shrimp app.. Amazing. Service & food is amazing!! A++++!!
Harlem Ambassador: The Francophiles say it isn't French, then again, they say that about everything. A casual spot which is a perfect "hide & seek" from the madness of Shrine next door. Great for drinks and lite bites.

Wine Bar · Central Harlem · 43 tips and reviews
Mandi: Great wine & cheese selection. Ambience is beautiful! Outdoor seating with open windows. Will be coming back!
Harlem Ambassador: While the space was jinxed in the past, the new wine bar is a hit with the nabe elites. It's even crowded during a blizzard! An endless wine selection. The lobster carpaccio & skirt steak is a must!
Claude Draillard: Could be great if service was at the level of the wine list. Food is good. Wines are well picked But service is as organized as traffic on a busy day in Cairo!
Leek Muzik: Great Experience! Try the egg scramble bowls! Any meat choice. Brunch is a must!
Harlem Ambassador: Now a bonafide destination, hidden below street level is a new 60's style bungalow meets the hood, with a hand carved tequila bar & margarita menu to boot. Calling it a tacqueria is an injustice. Wow!
Nakisha: SUPER cute new neighborhood bar! Good prices. The fish and pulled pork tacos ($7/2) + guac ($4) were *amazing*. Drinks ($9) were good but tell them what kind of tequila. The house stuff was harsh.

Beer Garden · Central Harlem · 122 tips and reviews
Harlem Ambassador: College types and nabe trendsetters binge on high quality brews and wursts. Wine on tap and truffle fries offer a change from the typical beer garden. Mixed crowd gives the UN a run in the diversity
@JaumePrimero: Awesome spot for brunch, and completely casual atmosphere. Love the communal seating!
cheena jain: Donald is the best. He and Dedeou are awesome. And they are my buddies. Love those guys and Chris, Ousmane, Adriano, the gals over there. My homies! :D

amNewYork: Fit for stumbling upon with its charming shack-like façade, equipped with fairy lights, a brown picket fence, a bulletin board of sorts and a cozy outdoor seating area. Live music seven days a week.
Arjun: No cover, free food, and damn good music.
Harlem Ambassador: This run down hole in a wall has some good music giving it an upgrade from a dive. (Some wish the drink prices would dive). Food may be served from aluminum trays at a cost. It is a music destination
