I've heard of Light House in Harlem plenty of times and finally got the chance to stop by…read more Before anything you must know. It's CASH Only. They went all out on the interior. It has a nice aquatic vibe all throughout the restaurant with different rooms to dine in. I started with the seafood platter. For $60, you get a whole tray full of crab legs, lobster, shrimp, mussels, clams, corn, and potatoes. I'm not a big seafood boil person but this one was valid. I enjoyed it. It was random but they also have popcorn but it was good so I'm not complaining. Then I ordered the popular honey garlic wings with the trifecta: Mac & cheese, candied yams, and collard greens. The wings were crispy and fresh. Plus the honey garlic sauce was really good. I understand the hype. I seen the lobster fries all over my feed so I ordered them. They use thick cut fries and the lobster on top is creamy. For my second platter I got Catfish with steamed cabbage and potato salad. You can tell they freshly fry the fish. Plus the batter is seasoned well. The cabbage lowkey has a kick which I liked and the potato salad has a subtle sweetness. I'm not mad at it though. Lastly I ordered the lobster Mac. Coated with a whole layer of cheese. You get lobster bits all throughout. Service was good. Lighthouse is definitely a solid spot whether you're taking out or dining in with a lot of options to choose from.

The store finally opened, so i hopped on uber eats and placed an order. I ordered a seafood bag…read morewith crawfish,shrimp, and mussels. Some of the crawfish still had eggs attached to the tail, and the mussels definitely were not fresh; they were mushy. I also ordered fried oysters that were mushy and tasted like crab mustard. The fries were undercooked and soggy, and the chicken nuggets were so pale you couldn't tell if they actually went into the fryer. Lastly, I got an order of wings, ranch, and garlic parmesan. The skin was nice and crispy, but the inside was dry, and the only thing I tasted was oil, not even a hint of garlic. This is my first and last time ordering from this establishment.

Arrived at 1:15 PM, they allegedly open at 1pm, and falsely advertise lunch specials from 1-4pm on…read moretheir menu. I thought they were closed, as the lights were off and it looked empty. The door was unlocked and when I got inside, it was dark and there was one employee present, with his head down. He then asked me if it was 1pm several times like he's not even tracking the time/ no device or watch near him, then I'm like it's 1:15pm. He is the only employee present (basically cashier, cook & anything else). I asked him about the lunch specials and to clarify which meals the deal applied to, he pointed to a chalk board with a bunch of options, I chose one from the list. Claimed order would take about 5 mins, took 15 extra minutes, made me late to work. Then when the food came out, it was $30 and the 2nd employee who had come in (late) claimed they didn't have the lunch deal anymore. I clarified that I asked the person cooking in the back (only other person there) when I arrived SPECIFICALLY about which meals the deal applied to and he gave me the choices on the board. She then looked around with a dumb look like she was confused, despite him just having given me that misinformation and he stayed quiet in the back. She basically just said well this is how much it is, expecting me to pay $30 for a meal they falsely advertised as a lunch deal. Kindly left the whole order there and said I'll talk to Yelp. Don't advertise a deal from 1-4pm and have it in writing and have employees confirming it exists and then once the food is made, expect someone to be SCAMMED and pressured into paying full price. Very disorganized, unprofessional and dishonest. What kind of business has employees forgetting to open, sleeping in the dark, other employee showing up even more late and then falsely advertises a lunch deal and the employees aren't even on the same page on whether or not it exists. Feel like they were trying to take advantage and exploit me for my $, despite it being their mistake and expecting me to just pay like a clown. Ridiculous I was late back to work, despite it being a 2 min walk from my job and me being the first customer there, 15 mins after opening. Just to not even get any food and starve all day because they advertise a lunch deal to pull people in and then charge them full price like SCAMMERS. STAY AWAY AND SAVE YOURSELF THE WASTED TIME AND EMPTY STOMACH. Love supporting my Black businesses but the few that operate like they're doing somebody a favor, or serving a free plate, need to learn what being a business looks like. (& that's for all businesses not just Black ones but still)

The food was extraordinarily delicious. The fish were cooked to perfection. The tastes of all the food was balanced (no excessive sauces etc). All four of us had a great culinary experience. We had Pear Tartlet, Affogato and the Shell Lava Cake for desert and all of it was done just right. Considering this is my first Yelp review ever, take my word for it and try out The Shell at 635 Amsterdam Ave. New York (just in case there are other restaurants with this name).

Their fried stuff is nice but their steamed/sautéed dishes are not to be taken as second tier. You can't go wrong with the shrimp in garlic sauce. If you're not careful, That delicious garlic sauce always sweats up the bag- but you're going to want to use it for and on everything! Their whole fish plates are also worth having. My usual go to sides are the yellow rice or the tostones. I'm happy to report that they get them real crispy and delicious. However when that said garlic sauce steams it up- a quick airfryer session fixes it back. Housed in a small storefront, they use good flavors to keep old and new clients coming on a regular basis. Be prepared to take your meal to go and enjoy. No bathrooms for patrons but its a tiny takeout spot so keep moving along. The food is definitely worthwhile and for reasonable prices. Check it out.

I discovered this place through Too Good To Go app. It's a family owned fish market and restaurant…read more They serve a variety of seafood, Chinese food and sushi. The staff here are very kind and accommodating, which is not the norm with a lot of places on TGTG. I've been here several times and some of my favorite options are the seafood boil and sushi entrée. The seasoning in the seafood boil is so good! The fish is consistently fresh, which makes sense since it's a fish market. They also use the perfect rice ratio in their sushi. My favorite is the white tuna. The tuna just melts in your mouth, it's absolutely delicious! Things to keep in mind, this is primarily a fish market so the seating is limited. Best to do takeout.

Thank you to Mya for being such a great vibe. The ambiance was a wonderful dining environment however I would say it can be too cold at times.

I've gotten the lobster curry both times I've been, and it is so delicious. Other notable apps include the crispy rice and the octopus. I would honestly pass on the fish tacos - the shells were weird and cardboardy and took away from the fish flavor. The tuna was delish and had a great smoky elote corn. Brussel sprouts and griddled rice were great sides, nothing too crazy! I will definitely come back here. Higher prices but worth it for good seafood.

Returning years later, I'm happy to say that Ricardo's is just as special as I remembered. My friend and I recently visited, and the food was outstanding. The steak was cooked to perfection (medium), tender, flavorful, and exactly as ordered. The mashed potatoes and mushrooms were equally delicious, and every dish reflected the quality of the ingredients. The drinks were expertly prepared, and it's clear that Ricardo's continues to take pride in what they serve. What truly stood out was the atmosphere. As we enjoyed our meal, we watched families and friends gather to celebrate anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, and other milestones. There's a warmth and energy to this place that makes every visit feel like an occasion. It's also a testament to the owners that Ricardo's has stood the test of time. In an industry where so many beloved restaurants come and go, they have continued to deliver a consistently excellent experience. The value was exceptional. The portions were generous, the quality was top-notch, and the bill was more than reasonable for what we received. You can tell they still use quality ingredients and premium cuts of meat. Ricardo's has managed to maintain both its standards and its charm over the years--a rare accomplishment. Well done, Ricardo's. I'll definitely be back, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable meal and a great dining experience.

Five-Star Experience at Ricardo Steakhouse…read more Ricardo Steakhouse is one of my family's favorite dining spots, and for good reason! From the ambiance to the service, the music, and the overall experience, it truly has everything you could want and more. I always recommend it to others because it's not just a meal--it's an experience. Even my nine-year-old grandson has declared Ricardo Steakhouse his favorite place to eat in New York. He loves being able to enjoy a delicious, non-alcoholic piña colada while soaking in the lively atmosphere. If you're looking for a top-tier dining experience, I highly recommend Ricardo Steakhouse.

The branzino and crab looked and smelled amazing on the other tables but unfortunately my partner does not eat these items. The fried calamari was good too but this is a dish you can get anywhere.

We were too full at this point to enjoy it. Will definitely come back again!
