    Cheesesteak on a roll
    Jessica G.

    Good stuff. I was looking for a no frills lunch place near museum mile and Fillmore fit the bill. You order at the counter and then sit down. They have a long list of sandwich options that made it hard to choose, but I ultimately went with their popular cheesesteak. It was a good choice. Ordering it on a roll instead of a hero was the right choice because I was not super hungry and it was the right amount of food. I would definitely come back if I am in the neighborhood.

    Night time only menu

    I have been here multiple times and it has changed over the years. I usually get the philly cheesesteak or a pastrami sandwich. The sandwiches are typically quite tasty. They are on the heavier side, definitely not a light lunch, and can a little greasy (in a good way). I got a side of small fries the last time and it was a little disappointing. They are not fresh, just frozen fries. The prices, I guess, like all places are quite pricey for a sandwich. I do want to try their wings, they only have that on the night menu, so I will have to return.

    The pastrami sandwich was delicious. Even though we arrived late the service was good. Actually I was surprised Korean people were working at that store. It gives the rock and roll ambiance.

    Vibes of this establishment was immaculate, beautiful jazz music to fill the room. Service was amazing. Food was delicious with very good flavor Highly recommend this location for food and vibes!

    Seafood Pancake

    An odd experience saved by good service! Was attending an event nearby so my husband and I popped into The Fillmore for some casual food and beers. It was a quiet night, no one else in the place except for some other patrons in the back. Things started off rocky.. went to the bathroom and there was no soap. Ordered a draft beer that it turns out wasn't actually on the current menu.. but they have a bottle! I say sure, then my husband wants one too... but they only have one left. No biggie, he gets another beer. We ordered the chopped cheese with fries and wings. Shortly after the server comes out and says that they actually don't have the wings but they can run out and grab some.. we say never mind and opt for another app instead (the Korean seafood pancake). When the food came out, first the chopped cheese came out with no fries. We noticed but figured they might come with the pancake. Then the pancake came and no fries so we said eh forget it we're in a bit of a rush and already getting full. Now I will say, the food was delicious! The chopped cheese hit so good, I devoured it immediately and normally I'm a slow eater. The pancake was tasty too and my husband particularly loved it. I wished there was some shrimp, it seemed like mostly squid and imitation crab? But overall it still satisfied. When we got the check the server apologized for the mishaps and took a beer off the check--something we really appreciated! It was an off night and that happens.. at least the food was still tasty and service stepped up when other things went wrong! Maybe closer to a 3.5 than a 4 but I'll give the benefit of the doubt until next time.

    K1. CHEESESTEAK

    Walking by on a Sunday and decided to stop here to try the Philly cheesesteak and it was better than most bodegas I've tried here in New York. The vibe inside was really nice. I wonder what it's like at night. Also, I saw someone order a bbq beef sandwich. I want to try that next time. I'll be back!

    Pastrami with Swiss and Russian dressing. A tight little sandwich
    Abbe K.

    Another delicious delivery (thank you GrubHub) from this Eastside deli. Sandwiches are well prepared and busting with flavor. I will have to make it to the deli to check out the prep and in-site scene.

    First time here; I am digging the vide  Great breakfast
    Jacqueline F.

    I thought I was walking into a small breakfast/deli place. I had the Santa Fe omelette & a coffee. The menu items are extensive. I am sure there is something for everyone. Now I see it expands in the back. Can't wait to come back with my pals to see how it is for drinks.

    Fillmore Combo on Hero (~$12), French Fries (~$6), Diet Coke (~$2)
    Aya E.

    Ordered: Fillmore Combo on Hero (~$12): grilled pastrami, corned beef, Swiss cheese, coleslaw, Russian dressing French Fries (~$6) Diet Coke (~$2) Aya's take: I was craving some grilled pastrami and found myself here for a quick bite since I was in the area. The hero is soft and fresh, the grilled pastrami had that melt-in-your-mouth feel while the corned beef had a sweet, sour, and spicy meaty taste all at once. Both meats counterbalanced the coleslaw and Russian dressing nicely. The French Fries & Diet Coke really completed the meal for me. Fillmore Deli is a bit out of the way for me, but if you're in the UES and want a solid sandwich, you won't be disappointed.

    This place is aggressively fine. Too greasy and heavy. I won't return but you might enjoy it if you like a greasy type cheesesteak.

It's a perfect date night spot to share deliciousness with a loved one. My friend and I shared three flavorful dishes-- a radicchio salad, the Confit Duck Leg and the Paccheri, a pasta with house- made pork sausage and broccoli rabe. The duck was so tender it fell off the bone. The pasta was intricate and tasted perfect when it was first served then veered a tad salty as it marinated (but still great). The salad was gorgeous on its own but even better accompanied by the mains. The duck was probably my favorite, but every bite complemented the next thing so well, that all of my senses were thoroughly engaged. I truly was having such a deep experience with the food that at one point I asked my friend to stop talking so that I could properly take in all the flavors. Oops. She loved the food too, so thankfully she understood. We topped off the meal with the buñuelos. We liked the sauce, but I'd say it's not memorable. I liked my orange wine, and my friend was indifferent about her drink. It was a pricey dinner but such a worthwhile experience. Can't wait to go back.

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
