Carina Andersen: The jerk chicken is superb, and the dog fish head IPA a treat!
Kerin Lin: Can't go wrong with the chicken and waffles appetizer! Chop suey and jerk chicken were equally amazing. Pass on the rice pudding - the pina colada flavoring was overpowering.
Doggrunner: Great food! Fried green tomatoes, great! Crab cakes great! Jerk chicken, great! Cocktails are good, skip the wine!

Tawana Burnett: Take the late show dinner reservation and stay for the after hours party. Cornbread was especially good. This was the jerk chicken. Not too spicy.
ECava: Chicken & waffles = super salty but it comes with foie so it's all good. The maitake dumplings & pork buns = fantastic. Good Ramos Gin Fizz, too.
Harlem Ambassador: Dark, sexy, and unexpected....and that's the crowd! The bar ain't bad if you can get a seat and ignore the door admission. Always something going on. The real vibe happens here (under the Red Rooster)

Marina Saad: Get the jerk chicken baguette! SO good, plantain chips are okay, just need salt (or they sorta taste like a soggy French fry)
Mario Milovanovik: Everything that you can possibly imagine. Food, people, music. Awesome
Harlem Ambassador: Lots of planning went into the creation of this locale that has changed it's name to appease the neighboring Lenox Lounge. which will relocate nearby. The café draws crowds and nights run late.
