My schoolmate from 7th-12th grades was in town with his wife from Washington D.C. My work schedule…read morehas been hectic, so we were trying to find a time and place to meet for dinner. They were staying at a midtown hotel and I live in Inwood. They were open to restaurant suggestions, but when my friend said his wife wanted to see Washington Heights, I knew we were going to Cañave. I have been to about every bar/restaurant in Inwood and its immediate environs. There are many good places, but I tend to prefer places where the music is not overbearing, you are not jammed in like sardines in a can, and service is exceptionally good. To make a long story shorter, we arrived at 7:30 p.m. and left at 11:30 p.m.! We talked, ate, and drank the night away. I suggested the shrimp ceviche, and we split two orders of it. It was fabulous and a quintessential example of example of Latin Fusion. My friend ordered steak and his wife, at my suggestion, ordered the roasted chicken dish - which I seem to never recall the name of - and rice and beans, and I did the same. This dish has recently become my favorite in the neighborhood. In fact, it has become one of my all-time favorite dishes. The drinks were incredibly good, as I savored my favorite, the delicious coconut margaritas. To top it off, the homemade flan the best I have ever had. I would be remiss were I not to compliment the staff. They were extremely professional, attending to our every need and thoroughly explaining items on the menu (I had forgotten the ceviche part of the shrimp dish, which they immediately filled in!). The easy listening music is superb and encourages conversation. It was nonstop talking, laughing, eating and laughing. We talked about old classmates, teachers, the school, etc. We caught up on the gaps in the years that we had not seen each other. In truth, it was an experience that could have only happened at Cañave. I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant!

It's an interesting mix of classic American bar energy with a Peruvian twist, which makes the menu way more fun than your typical pub. Even though it was packed for the holiday, it never felt overwhelming. Lively, but still comfortable enough to actually enjoy your time. I lucked out and found Broken Skull by Steve Austin here--funny because I'd been searching for it everywhere and almost ordered it online. If you're into craft beer, definitely give it a try. Didn't go for Taco Tuesday this time ($25 unlimited tacos is tempting), but I spotted birria ramen on the menu, which already guarantees I'll be back. Food-wise, the mushroom burger was the star--perfectly cooked, juicy, and rich without being too heavy. And the fries? Crispy, golden, dangerously addictive (and I'm picky about fries). Service was warm and attentive despite the crowd. Overall, a fun, easygoing spot that somehow balances energy and comfort. Definitely coming back.

Definitely one of the more unique spots I've tried in upper Manhattan.

The amount doesn't show on a front facing screen when paying with cash so when I asked how much and the cashier said $17. It isn't until I'm settled in that I see the receipt. I find this to be in poor taste. And please do not trouble yourself to think I care what anyone thinks about it being only $.18. This is about principle.

We went during happy hour and loved the happy hour, weeee haddd time The vibe was really good, music was great, and it just felt like a place where you can relax and enjoy with friends. It wasn't awkward at all, just a really fun atmosphere. The staff made a big difference too. Everyone was super nice and professional but still chill. The manager was sooo nice and made sure we were good the whole time. They were really accommodating, and they even gave us two rounds of shots on the house which was such a nice surprise. One thing that really stood out was when my friend left her designer purse there. We didn't realize until later and came back the next day, and literally nothing was missing. That meant a lot and made us feel like it's a really trustworthy place. If I had to say one thing, it can get a little busy so the wait at the bar can take a bit during peak hours. But honestly it wasn't a big deal. Overall we had a great first experience and I would definitely go back. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Every time I come, it exceeds my expectations. I ordered the beef, shrimp, and lobster fried rice because I couldn't decide on just one--and that turned out to be the BEST decision. It was packed with flavor, fresh, and absolutely delicious. My friends ordered the spicy kung pao chicken and the salmon, and both dishes were just as amazing. For appetizers, we went all in--oxtail dumplings, steamed shrimp dumplings, and chicken dumplings... everything was so good we couldn't even pick a favorite. By the end, we were so full and satisfied, already talking about coming back for happy hour soon And the drinks?! I had the D'Ussé fishbowl, and my friend got a coconut margarita--both were top tier. Between the food, drinks, and overall vibe, Panda Harlem is easily a 10/10 every single time. Definitely one of those spots you keep coming back to! Our waiter was amazing she was very attentive and made sure we were satisfied.

Well, I had decided to go here for my birthday back in 2020 when The Pandemic had happened so, I ate outside, I never made it inside. When Covid happened a lot of changes because I had to scan the QR code on the back to get the menu because to limit contact between others. The service was spot on , they were attentive. Now the food and drinks I had was ice water. A Pina Colada I've never had, but was disappointed because they watered down, I didn't taste any alcohol. I just had cheeseburger and french fries , which I couldn't finished. I also a fish taco which I never had before and it was delicious and I knew that they used fresh grease because of how they looked. I would go back out here for two reasons to check out the inside and for those fish tacos.
