    Great local spot with fresh food and service. Watermelon salad was one of the specials, and one of my favorites. Watermelon was unfortunately not the main ingredient. There was a lot of filler mixed greens. But the salad is very tasty overall. The lamb burger is perfectly spiced and juicy. The fries are thinner cut. The decor was all FIFA while we were in, and it clearly is a gathering space for locals.

    Haven't dined in Harlem for more than 5 years. My friend asked me to meet him here and I'm so glad he did. This is my new favorite restaurant! The atmosphere was vibrant yet cozy, the kind of spot that immediately makes you feel at home while still feeling special. We started with the clams, which were perfectly cooked and full of flavor, followed by a charcuterie board that was beautifully presented and had an amazing variety. The Paper Plane cocktail was perfectly balanced: smooth, slightly bitter, and just the right amount of kick. But the star of the night? The steak. It was buttery, tender, and bursting with flavor - honestly one of the best I've had in the city. Every bite melted in my mouth. Between the food, the service, and the lively Harlem energy, Maison Harlem is easily a 10/10 in my book. I'll definitely be back.

    Came to Maison Harlem for a friend's birthday and had a great time! The booth seats were spacious and cozy, the decor is amazing, and the vibes were perfect. The food, drinks, and service were all superb. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

    Food was delicious and large portion, pork chop was tender and flavorful and big. Highly recommend!

    Great little restaurant in Harlem. Menus are old record jackets. Live music in evening (jazz). Service is excellent. Inside is bar upfront and tables in back up short couple of stairs. Many specials and American cuisine. Had calamari and kale salad along w branzino, pork chop and spicy lamb burger

    While looking at schools, we went for lunch before heading home. This place was recommended by the friend we went with and I was already excited knowing it was french food. The bar is right up front for those who just want to stop in and the restaurant is in the back. They had music playing and artwork all over the walls. It had a lot of character and vibrant colors. The waiters were very attentive and our water cups were never empty. We ordered the mushroom risotto, hanger steak, lamb burger, and quiche. The plating was spectacular to start. I was wary of the carrots in the risotto, as I usually don't love them cooked, but I went for it anyway. To my surprise, it was a great addition to balance the earthyness of the mushroom and tang of the balsamic glaze. I literally had to make a similar dish the next day because I was craving it. I tried my boyfriends steak and wow was that good too. He subbed the red wine sauce for peppercorn and got the potatoes au gratin. The steak was medium rare and so flavorful and tender. The peppercorn sauce was different than expected, as I believe it was a red peppercorn sauce, so it tasted slightly more vinegary - pairing great with the steak. The potatoes were good, but we wanted a little more cheese. I did not try the other dishes, but I was told they were great as well. Not pictured was the tart tatin. It cane with vanilla ice cream and was different than expected, but wonderful nonetheless. I will definitely come again if I move to this area.

    I love a spontaneous find! We were walking around uptown in a new neighborhood and realized we would be down for some French food. The restaurant is cozy-- perfect for a date night-- and we saw quite a few first dates happening! The service was on point, too. We decided to share some saffran moules frites (mussels and fries), a burrata salad, and escargot. Everything was cooked to perfection. I was pleasantly surprised that the saffron mussels would be so savory. We had to ask for another basket of bread to dip in the sauce. It was very romantic sitting by the window and then realizing that it was pouring rain outside. A great local spot with good food!

    I love this place sm. When I lived in the area I brought everyone here for a meal or quick drink! I LOVE the Demi poulet. Seriously my favorite plate here. There's something in that gravy I'm telling you!! Oh and the tuna tartar!!!! Omg I'm getting hungry just thinking about it I love it here

    Our food was good, but the service was lacking for me. It was friendly, but definitely not good. It's a pretty small restaurant, but the space is laid out in a way where you don't feel super cramped. It's quite cozy and warm. I really enjoyed the music-themed posters and how the menus are in vintage record sleeves. The playlist was also wonderful. We waited forever to order. My partner got a glass of wine, the truffle mac n cheese and a side of Brussels sprouts. I got the steak special. It came with fries, but I subbed for ratatouille because I like to always have a vegetable with my meals. Despite our wait to order, the food came out pretty promptly. My meal was all there but my partner still hadn't received the wine, nor the side of Brussles. A different person brought out entrees, so when asked about the wine, the person sent our waiter. He said he'd check on the wine and walked away so quickly that she didn't even get to ask about the Brussels sprouts. He quickly dropped off the wine and scurried off again and by the time we were saw him again, my partner was already finished with her entree and still hadn't received her side. Also, when I was midway through my steak, another server came by and dropped off a salad that apparently came with my entree. I wish the server had mentioned it before. It was already dressed and wouldn't have traveled well, so I opted to finish the salad instead of my steak. Our server did not check on us on his own at any point while we ate. We spent a lot of time turning our heads and looking for him and trying to get his attention. At the point where we were done with our dinner and wanted to order dessert, he was nowhere to be found and we sat idly for quite some time. Finally, he reappeared. He was carrying a huge stack of napkins and headed towards the back of the restaurant. Once he sat, we got his attention in the mirror and when he came over, we asked for to-go boxes and said that we'd also like to get dessert. Imagine our surprise when he announced that he was now off work... NOW. Typically when your waiter's shift ends, they 1) let you know and 2) introduce you to the person they'll be handing you off to?? This did not happen and very much rubbed me the wrong way. Our OG waiter hurriedly grabbed our plates and passed them off to another server to pack up. It was so hasty that the late-arriving Brussels we wanted to box was left behind. When the 2nd person came back with our to-go box, we asked if he was the person we could order dessert with and he said he wasn't our waiter either. Eventually we spoke to a 3rd guy who, surprise- also was not our new waiter. Eventually a woman took our dessert order, which as I am typing this - I'm wondering why we even stayed around for. I would come back, but if given the same waiter, I'd ask for someone else. He appears to be a hard worker, just not good at multi-tasking.

    French Onion Soup, Kale Salad, Trio of Sausages, Brussel Sprouts, Mussels Provencale - LARGE
    Austin K.

    Great place to go before hours - gets crowded and noisy during peak dinner (loud live music). Slightly pricy but good food. There is also a happy hour at the bar. Friendly, relaxed service. Mussels with fries are heaping - large can serve two. My friend who goes regularly said the provencale (tomato) is the best - I'm not even a tomato fan but it was super tasty. Not chunks of tomato, more like a light wine broth with a touch of sun dried tomato flavor - savory. Mussels were a little oversteamed, my friend said they are usually a bit firmer. I also enjoyed the kale salad and side of brussels. Sausages were ok. French onion soup was great but way overpriced ($16!)

    I came here for dinner with a friend. The French themed decor was tres adorable and the restaurant had a warm, cozy feel to it. However, the space was a bit cramped. Upon being seated, we were served complimentary baguette bread and butter. The bread was tasty and still warm. There were 2 duck dishes: Duck Confit and Hudson Valley Duck Magret. I was leaning towards the Duck Magret, and the waiter confirmed my choice. The Duck Magret came with peppercorn sauce, served with haricot vert (green beans) and potato gratin. This was plated beautifully, with plenty of sauce covering the duck, masking that it was quite rare. The duck was way too pink for me, and still wasn't tender or juicy. It was the sauce that saved it... Wonderfully savory, full of peppery taste, as well as rich. I definitely should have mentioned how rare it was though. The Haricot Vert was nicely crunchy and cooked well. Potato Gratin was baked in a rectangular shape and were layers of finely sliced potatoes, along with cream, butter, cheese. This was deliciously rich and full of bold flavor. My friend ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger with fries. I got to try some and found the fries to be addicting - Delightfully crispy and well seasoned. For dessert, my friend and I shared Chocolate Lava Cake, with vanilla ice cream. The cake had a sprinkling of powdered sugar and mint leaves on top. It was just okay, as there wasn't enough chocolate oozing out. The cake was still delightfully chocolate-y, sweet and soft. Ice cream was velvety smooth and paired well with the cake. Service was decent. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Prices were medium - Not cheap, but not that expensive either. However, I wasn't fully satisfied with my meal so would not return.

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 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)
