Harlem A.Harlem Ambassador: Creating Harlem's 1st chef's table only boite should be a hit. A hydroponic herb garden will guarantee it. A C.I.A. educated chef will serve with (2) sous chefs giving intimate personal service. Wine

LilyLily: NYT * Critic's Pick (7/2019): "Lobster salad; mac-and-cheese spring rolls; chicken and waffles; Harlem cheese-steak crostini; house-smoked pork loin; black sea bass; Triflin’ Ho-Ho; Lemony Lickit."

L E.L Erskine: The vibe is so great! And the flavors!! Bring your palette, a friend and your wallet, and eat a meal you will remember for a long time.

DevontaDevonta: Brunch options range from Jamaican to English. The Ackee & Saltfish taste great (slightly spicy from peppers) with a glass of homemade sorrel to wash it down. This place is cozy.

Terecille B.Terecille Basa-Ong: Super nice - I only had $5 on me and my total was $5.17, but she let me slide. Much appreciated!! I have a punch card now and will continue to go back and show my loyalty :) Good coffee and croissant!

Harlem A.Harlem Ambassador: A small place that specializes in small plates. That mezze  w/ curry chik is tasty. Cod fritters and shrimp are worth the trip alone. $4 wine for happy hour b4 8pm. Can we get them to stay open later?
