    Arugula salad and added grilled salmon
    Tamara B.

    Went to LIDO Harlem for brunch during a meeting and really enjoyed it. We got there for the brunch and ended up staying into dinner time . Cute place! The grilled salmon with arugula salad was delicious and perfectly cooked, definitely a highlight. Drinks were solid, and the coffee was excellent. Service was amazing...very attentive and friendly, which made the experience even better. The French toast was tasty, but a little hard to cut through (probably because it was brioche, felt like I was working through the end pieces). For dessert, everything was okay overall, with the tiramisu standing out as the best option of the three we tried. Overall, a great brunch spot with excellent service and standout salmon :) I'd definitely return.

    Lido is the perfect place for brunch. The food and mimosas were delicious. The staff was very attentive. I recommend that you make a reservation beforehand. My only complaint is that they place the tables to close together, making it a little uncomfortable. It was hard to squeeze into my seat. Also, the staffs rear end was in my face while serving the table next to mine. Other than that it was great and I'd go back again.

    A Memorable Harlem Gem That Keeps Me Coming Back Years ago, I came across this spot on a recommendation--and it left such a lasting impression that I knew I had to return. This recent visit confirmed exactly why it earned a place on my personal list of must-try restaurants. Nestled in Harlem, this restaurant is part of a neighborhood that has seen tremendous change over the past 30 years. While gentrification brings complex emotions, one positive is the emergence of exceptional dining experiences like this. It's a beautiful reflection of Harlem's evolving food scene--where history, creativity, and hospitality meet. We visited for brunch and went with the bottomless Sangria and Mimosas. The Sangria surprised me--it was much lighter than expected, with a crisp, refreshing taste. At first, I thought it might be the white version, and the staff didn't hesitate to bring over both so I could compare. That thoughtful touch set the tone for the entire meal. The service was friendly, prompt, and attentive without ever feeling rushed. The white polenta was everything I hoped for--smooth, creamy, and full of flavor. It brought back all the good memories from my first visit. The braised short rib was melt-in-your-mouth tender and incredibly flavorful. These are the kinds of dishes that show real care and technique in the kitchen. The atmosphere is just as inviting as the food. There's a vibrant energy in the space--stylish yet relaxed, making it perfect for everything from a leisurely brunch with friends to a date night or special celebration. Whether you're a local or visiting New York City and want to explore Harlem beyond the typical tourist stops, I can't recommend this place enough. It's a true gem--where the food is memorable, the drinks are generous, and the service makes you feel like a valued guest. I'll absolutely be returning again.

    The bill. Not too bad.

    Very welcoming from the door. The inside on chilly Saturday late afternoon warm and welcoming. Kind of a buzz but not too full. The smell if Italian American food permeates the air. Not good if you are hungry. I scan couple groups and families with children an alsome empty bar awaiting the date night crowd. Im in comfy corner taking in soft funky jazz at just right volume to create white noise. Iv been served and checked on. I choose something light and aromatic. The mushroom soup and an order of creamy garlic bread. You gotta try it. Mayne not on a date but a mint can change the outcome. Dan my server really make the difference to the experience. You can tell thIs is His spot. I'll be back with friends. Seem like a nice lunch place when beating the date night crowd. Check em out. My very first time inside.

    Lido is one of my favorite spots for brunch. The staff is always friendly. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the food is delicious. You could come to Lido for a birthday brunch or a low key outing with friends. It fits both the vibes. On weekends there is an hour where they close the kitchen to prepare for dinner. So keep that in mind!

    -First Impression- Well I've been here before, but I definitely had a better time at brunch compared to dinner -Food- Had the salmon and Caesar salad... Slapped. I love salmon and this one was great. Also had gnocchi for the first time. -Service- Paola was amazing. It was very busy, but she made sure to check in and make sure everyone was happy -Price- If you've ever been to brunch, you know the deal, lol -Did Not Like- We did bottomless brunch, refills were a little slow, as they were visibly very busy, but also a little flat (premixed) -Recommend- I'll be back for brunch

    Scrambled eggs with fontina, bacon and biscuit
    Jessica F.

    Came here for brunch for a friend's birthday. We went with the bottomless drinks. They are indeed bottomless you will never see the bottom of your glass.The service and attention is that good here. It's been around for a while but somehow looks new and cozy. I ordered the scrambled eggs with fontina cheese, bacon, and a biscuit. I will be thinking of the biscuit for ages to come. It was perfectly flakey and golden on the outside and cakey in the middle.

    Happy hour calamari
    Gayle S.

    I was looking for places to eat while I was attending a conference nearby and came across Lido. I made a reservation for happy hour, but it wasn't very busy at all when we arrived, so you might not need to bother with a reservation. The servers were attentive without hovering, which was nice since they weren't too busy. I went with a colleague and we tried the calamari, meatballs, and creamy garlic bread from the happy hour menu along with sangria. It was all tasty, but the creamy garlic bread was a surprising hit. We dipped it in the sauce with the meatballs, since there was no bread served with that. My only complaint is there wasn't more of the garlic bread. For our entrees, we ordered the steamed mussels along with the chicken Marsala. We split both entrees and we enjoyed them both, but I think the chicken Marsala was the star. The risotto was so creamy and the sauce was packed with flavor. The interior of the restaurant was nicely decorated and is a perfect place for a date night or a business meal. It was my favorite meal of the trip by far.

    Indoor- outdoors as in an enclosed outdoor area in the cooler months. During the warmer months it is outdoor outdoor

    Does this place still have BYOB?

    when I made the reservation they mentioned the unlimited mimosas. They didn't mention BYOB so I'm unsure sorry

    Unlimited brunch? Does this place have that?

    Yes, they do.

    What's the dress code here?

    Causal. I went after my class so I was casual. I also saw people there after work with suits (happy hour).

Enough space to feel like you're not on top of each other, but not really a place for huge parties. Probably great to do a buyout for birthdays, etc. The happy hour (food & drink) is affordable with a nice selection and runs a good length of time (5-7pm). The non-happy hour menu is the real gem though. A little pricey for the neighborhood, but the quality is on par with cocktail bars down in the villages, so well worth it. Service is quick without being overbearing, and casual without being lazy. Handsome bartender and server. Better to make a reservation later into the night closer to and on the weekend because the space fills up fast. *will update this review when I've tried more of the food*

The vibe is chill, relaxed, and very neighborhood-friendly. Even when it's busy, it never feels overwhelming, and they're usually very accommodating with walk-ins. The service is also some of the best I've experienced in Harlem. My go-to is the roasted duck, which is consistently excellent. It's cooked medium to medium-rare and comes with mango, onions, vegetables, and greens. Easily one of my favorite dishes in the neighborhood. The drinks are great too. I recently had the Nas, their take on a Manhattan, and it was incredibly smooth--one of the best whiskey cocktails I've had in a while. Overall, 10/10. A hidden gem on Lenox between 119th and 120th and definitely one of the best spots in Harlem.

We both had Brussel Sprouts, good, but the bites without the sauce did taste like bland Brussel sprouts. I had the lamb ribs, very good. They do warn you before that the ribs have a bit of fat on them, I think in the context of NY restaurant week I'm happy to pay it but as a solo entree, the amount of fat vs meat would have annoyed me. My friend had the duck, she enjoyed it. But it is very much salad with a side of duck, I believe she had 6 pieces of duck (pictured) and then a mango, arugula and onion salad. Dessert was very good, but I do hope those are not the usual portion sizes and maybe they just served smaller for NY restaurant week. Which I really didn't mind as I was full from the entree and sprouts. Servers were really nice, this place seems to have its regulars and a nice garden sitting area towards the back. Would overall recommend

The pork chop arrived dry, which is hard to forgive on a cut that should be the kitchen's pride. The steak was competently cooked but unremarkable -- no real seasoning, no char to speak of, nothing that set it apart from a passable home-cooked version. For a restaurant at this price point, the kitchen should be delivering more. I'd happily come back for cocktails at the bar -- the n and the staff deserve that. But on the food alone, there are better options in the neighborhood.

It feels like a coffee shop, bar, café, lounge and pre-party stop all at once. The bar staff were "nightclub friendly", they had party energy that this place doesn't warrant.

It's cold from the tiles and exposed pipes, yet warm from the wooden walls and historic decorative figures. Maybe the idea is that you show up with your group and shape the experience into whatever you want it to be. Still, I'm of the opinion that it's a shared effort. If I'm coming out and spending my money, I deserve an experience. Let me know who you are, and I can decide if you pass my vibe check.
