    Attend my cousins birthday celebration here and I must say it's smaller than I expected. The ambience was ok and the bar had that smell of alcohol in the air .. the food was excellent as the Fancy Mac was a standout. Gets very crowded... the service could have been better but it was a packed house so they did their best under the circumstances.

    My pal Marc invited me to his Brunch Day party so I made my way up to Row House. Very nice venue and the music was hittin. I was also meeting a friend there and when they arrived we shared their classic Mac and cheese. It was pretty good. Could use a bit more flavor honestly but it was cool. The bartenders were on point with our orders and we had a fun time. So if you're in the neighborhood pass through Row House. Their menu has something for everyone. Have a good one yall! - Ray

    We had a family birthday dinner here In the middle of Harlem, such a vibe!! Reservations for 7pm and the dinner table for 20 was not ready! Waited about 1 hr to be seated Waited about 2 hrs for the food to be served. Some drinks were strong while others weren't ! This place gives an older vibe , with a lot of grandpas trying to talk to every young girl that walks by. The best part was the music ! It was so good with a girl DJ (miss Saigon)..she was definitely setting a vibe with the hip hop and reggae . And very aggressive!!! Food is OK! I did taste old oil on our food, the crab cake was definitely off, with a mixture of a lot of things instead of actual crab lump Also, the food came out at different times for the guest. Negative.. I used the bathroom and the bathroom host did open my door... idk y but ‍...

    Regular Mac and Cheese like your grandma labored over during the holidays.

    I walked thru Harlem today as I met up with my HBCU alumni association, for our year end meeting. We had our own private event space downstairs in the restaurant. It is a great space to meet and greet about 15 to 30 patrons with a bar. We then moved to the restaurant and were welcomed and ordered brunch. This soul food restaurant is a spot that focus on small plates, that you can share, I definitely liked the concept for a girls days out of for an alumni meeting. I enjoyed the crispy battered fish tacos with pico de gallo, salsa verde tacos, and hash browns. The hash browns took me back to breakfast in the South. They take traditional soul food dishes like mac and cheese and add lobster. Row House boasts a menu of seasonal cocktails, craft beer, and a respectable wine list. The Spicy Guava Jalapeno mixed Union Mezcal, Triple Sec, Guava Puree, Lime was on some spicy hypnotic taste. Loved it. Brunch is different up here, a LIVE deejay, music, drinks, dance, and good vibes. Row House compliments the history and culture of what we know as "Harlem." This place is loud and lively. If you are looking for a quiet space...seriously this is not it. I can't wait to come back.

    I love this spot. The vibe is grown and sexy, so you won't see a bunch of teenagers and 20-somethings there. I've been there twice and there was a live DJ each time, playing good music. So people are definitely on their feet, dancing. I've tried a few of their dishes and enjoyed all of them. But my favorite thing of all is their Jamaican Rum Punch. It is delicious........and strong. Some of my friends tried other drinks and were also happy. I will definitely be back.

    If you're looking for a time to be had, head to Row House. Now walking in, they don't sit you u til your entire party arrives. No seats at the bar, ok cool. Once my friends arrived we were seated and the water was given. The food was really good. Those Brussel sprouts were really good. And to think I never like them lol. There is 2-for-1 drinks but only if you buy food. But the drinks are hittin. All we needed was 2. The people are standing up and dancing at their table and just having a great time. The music is loud, but not loud enough to where you can't talk with your party at your table. The DJ Korrek was on the 1s and 2s and he did not miss. I am more than sure I'll be back. A time was definitely had.

    This was my first visit, I met a friend here for a meeting and I was so shocked I'd never been there before. The menu was very intriguing and I love that it had a good amount of variety for only one page. It was a Sunday evening and we got sat quickly, the waiter was super friendly and he made sure answer all of our questions about the menu in detail. I ordered the Braised Short ribs and they were amazing. The rum punch was well made and strong and the ambiance was very chill. The first impression was a lasting impression and I will definitely be back to try more.

    This spot was interesting. First, it was packed with people on a Saturday afternoon. No standing room at the bar or even in front. It was impossible to grab a table without a reservation. It was truly a madhouse. Luckily for us, we had a reservation. Unfortunately, they sat us at a table for 4, and we were a party of 6. It was very tight in there. Thanks to all the people, the tables being on top of each other... just all around a busy place. The vibes were dope. It's more of a mature vibe i would say. The music was loud and bumping. It was a mixture of 90s and 00s R&B and hip hop. (I would've expected nothing less from Harlem lol). But where they lacked was the food... So as you can see below, these tacos were NOT worth the hefty price of $18! There was also nothing jerk about those small shrimp. The taco shell was just there. Not toasted or anything. The shrimp were covered in some kinda sauce which wasn't bad, (mayo based or something). It just wasn't at all what i expected. It would've been better with a mango salsa or something. The tacos were a 2.5/5. The wings were flavorless without the sauce. It's amazing how it's a soul food establishment and the food was this bland. Lowkey mid for real. Now them lemon drops were amazing! Each one i had was great. All in all, will i return... sure. I feel like i need to try them again. Maybe not for brunch. Dinner or just for happy hour if they have that. They have a cute space downstairs because the table limit is 2 hours. So after they suggest that people go downstairs. It's a few tables and chairs, an open space for dancing and standing, and a bar. Theres also bathrooms down there as well. I can't front, a time was had. I'll just eat food elsewhere. See pics below.

    I was craving soul food while in Harlem. It was the weekend of the block party festival. I will be honest I was disappointed. The person who is outside that I spoke to was slightly rude so I went online to make the reservation because he gave me no insight whether there was a wait to get in. We got it immediately. It was really loud from the DJ and we were not happy with our meals. The coding on the chicken was dry and my husband's food was tasteless. Only my son's food tasted good though it was very small portion. He had shrimp and grits. I really wanted to love this place but it just wasn't in the cards this time. I do think it had to do with the amount of people so the service wasn't the same as what I've heard so I definitely will cut the venue some slack. It was a very busy day.

    My gurlz and I went to Row House last night to celebrate Pre Mother's Day. We had a ball last night. We had a situation with the table but it worked it self out. The food was great, service good and the atmosphere was live and kicking. We all enjoyed ourself last night and will be back.

    Found myself at Row House this past Valentine's/Galentine's night, on the suggestion of a cousin I was out with. We were looking for a place to chill, listen to music and shake off the funk of a really crap dining experience on the same block. Row House was it! We were able to walk in without a wait. Once we were inside, all of the tables were full or reserved so we just stood for a minute and took in the vibes. A young woman named DJ Miss Saigon was in an area at the rear of Row House, setting fire to the one's and two's. Every song that she tossed out was a jam and the atmosphere overall was just excellent. This is Harlem the unofficial fashion capital of NYC, so almost every patron was dressed to the nines for V-Day. So many fur coats and fur hats, looking great and having a blast. The music was great. Jorge, the main bartender, was very kind when most would be overwhelmed by all the drink orders. He was cool as ice though and moving like he was battery powered. Mohan, the really personable host at the door, promised us that he would keep an eye out for any table cancellations. We ended up snagging seats at the bar after awhile anyway. I had barely touched my food at the first place that we were at and the servers kept zipping past with such tasty looking food. I ordered an appetizer of lobster empanadas. They were tasty, crispy and lightly fried, served with a delicious dipping sauce. I ordered a tasty ginger beer based mocktail and then pineapple ginger beer mixes for the rest of the night. We were told that a party was starting downstairs but we didn't stay for it. I really enjoyed myself at Row House. It serves all the fun and fashion that you see and read about a Harlem experience, in 3D. I'll be sure to make reservations before the next time I go. Can't wait to put on a big fur hat and eat, drink and dance amongst all the Cat Daddy's and Foxy Mamas.

    Nope! Dress however you’d like. I’ve gone in sweatpants and I’ve gone very dressed up.

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.

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.

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.

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. They'd make fun hosts for a great party. The space itself is confusing in an interesting way. 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.
