    Espresso martini
    Shad P.

    We had an amazing experience for Valentine's Day! Came here for brunch and it was definitely a pleasure. The dim lighting and restaurant esthetic still made it feel like a dinner date although it was early and I appreciated that. But let's talk about the food.... 10/10 all across the board. For the appetizer we shared the octopus and it was cooked perfectly. All the sauces and pairings made it a delightful bite. My friend had the chicken and waffles; HUUGGEEE portion and I loved the way they layered the chicken and the waffles. I don't think I've ever seen it like that but overall I'd give a 5/5 BUSSIN... a little more syrup would've been nice though. I had the crab Benedict and it was BUSSIN, 5/5. Another huge portion and there was soooo much crab. Drinks were pretty strong and tasty as well. Service was decent. Our server was working a lot of tables at once but the team worked together to always make sure we had everything we needed! Even got a free rose haha.

    Dinner was amazing here! My husband and I had had a few appetizers and drinks at the bar another time, but never a full dinner until the other day. So happy we decided to have an actual meal here! The restaurant itself is calming, classy, and dimly lit, but a good amount of dimness. All of the staff was friendly and accommodating, but our server was fantastic and really went above and beyond! He went into great detail about each of the specials as well as other menu items, took care when serving the food (I ordered one of the specials: crusted halibut with cauliflower mash; my husband ordered the lamb chops), and even suggested wine pairings, which was helpful. We'll definitely be back!

    Mac & Cheese

    The food was really really good. We came to celebrate a friend's birthday on a Saturday afternoon. We were sat promptly and the waiter came over soon after to take our order. I had a mezcal Bloody Mary...tasty. We ordered the octopus, a salad and the Mac and cheese for appetizers. The Mac and cheese was so good. Some of the best I've had in a restaurant. I will say we ordered another and it wasn't as good but the first one was unforgettable. lol. The octopus was good as well. Cooked to perfection before it got too tough. My steak was the PERFECT medium. Tender and tasty.

    The food is immaculate and what you get at a steak house! We were there a new year, so the service was a little bit delayed which was frustrating for us because we did have a reservation. The space itself is a modern/hip for the upper east side

    Our server Chris was so nice and accommodating when we went here on a Tuesday for jazz night. One of my friends does not eat red meat and another is gluten free due to allergies. He made sure all our share sides were gluten free and checked sauces and sides. He helped through wine recommendations, I was very happy with the Sangiovese and my friend with her glass of Sancerre she had with her clam bucatini. The clams were a nice size and freshness. And the steaks had a nice crusting for flavor. I got the chocolate sesame crème and it was the perfect end of my meal. We will definitely be back for prime rib on a Monday in the future. Thank you Chris was a seamless meal!

    Creamed Spinach
    Vincent X.

    This place is just about what you'd expect from a steakhouse. Good service, decent atmosphere, decently portioned sides, and a nicely cooked steak with optional accompaniments. In my opinion, the sauces were too weak to really enhance the entree. However it came in a medium sized pot with a handle, making it easy to use and share. The only thing that stood out to me was the creamed spinach. Every bite was quite rich but wasn't too dense. Did I have a good time with my meal? Yes. Did the flavors blow my mind? No. Would I come back? Probably no. But I don't regret coming here.

    Oysters  Yellow Fin Tuna Tartare Crab Cakes
    Amy R.

    Everything we ordered was top-notch. The filet with three added scallops were cooked perfectly, and the macaroni and cheese was rich and comforting (though I'd recommend adding the lobster for an extra indulgence). The cream spinach was a great pairing as well. We did a build-your-own platter of oysters with two East Coast and two West Coast varieties that both were like butter and absolutely delicious. The yellowfin tuna tartare was fresh and flavorful, and the crab cakes are a must-order. The only dish I would skip is the lobster Diablo, but everything else we tried was outstanding. Service was excellent, with thoughtful recommendations that really elevated the experience. The ambience felt intimate, maybe because we had the restaurant to ourselves on a Tuesday night, but it made the evening even more special. This was the perfect spot for a birthday dinner delicious food, attentive service, and a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend!

    Garlic Mashed Potato

    SUCH an amazing experience last night! I'm nervous for more people to discover this gem but...definitely my new favorite steakhouse in NYC. Food, drinks, vibe, service - 10/10. 1. The interior/exterior is very nice. 2. Service was on point. My server Brian was really great, very knowledgeable and honest. It's like he was reading my mind with drinks, I was never waiting or wanting for anything. I'm a little particular with pairing, so it was really nice that he was on top of everything. I also want to note the dining room attendants/waiter's assistants were excellent as well. They were a perfect balance - attentive but didn't overly hover like I've seen before. 3. I had an espresso martini and the tequila cocktail- The Master Cleanse. Both were excellent. I also grabbed a glass of sparkling at the bar before happy hour ended and both of the bartenders were super nice. 4. Last but certainly not least, the food was 10/10. Everything. I got 2 oysters and 2 cocktail shrimp, I loved that they came with cocktail sauce, Tabasco, horseradish AND mignonette sauce. THE NY STRIP! Amazing, wonderful and the roasted garlic on the side was perfect. Garlic mashed potatoes were great. Oh and the dessert was good, chocolate flourless cake, gelato with this slightly savory pretzel cookie was a nice touch. Obviously, I'll be back.

    Bread

    This restaurant was included in nyc restaurant week which was such a good deal for this place! Restaurant week is a prefix menu with a 3 course meal for $60. The restaurant is beautiful, very spacious, and the staff was great! They even had a live jazz band when we came on a Thursday. I started with the strawberry fields cocktail which was huge! The bread was so unique and was like a pretzel, soooo good! For my starter, I ordered tuna tartar which was very good. For my main, I ordered the skirt steak medium rare but it came out more in the medium side. A bit disappointing but it was still delicious and a very large portion. Dinner came with a side and I ordered fries while my friend got broccolini, both very good. Lastly, for dessert we got the cheesecake which was delicious. Overall our meal was very good and would recommend

    We have been wanting to try Catch n Chop since they opened and glad we finally got the opportunity! We had a group of 6 persons, I was able to get a reservation on the same day for a Saturday night at 6:30pm. There were no issues with reservations, except if you book online they make you pay if reservation is cancelled, so make sure to look and confirm! When we arrived the restaurant was not too busy however by 7pm it was fully booked, every table was occupied! And I can see why! The food was stellar and the service was excellent. For apps, we ordered the grilled octopus, crab cakes and the special beets salad. These were all a huge hit, especially the crab cakes which were literally all chunky crab meat. For our main, we shared the branzino, rib eye steak, pork chops and the special scallops with mushroom risotto. The portion was large and we were able to share the dishes amongst our group. And we also topped it off with some sides, such as the brussels sprouts, creamed spinach, and wild mushrooms. Our group was shocked in how delicious the creamed spinach was! All of these dishes you cannot go wrong with and each had its own flavor. Overall highly recommend Catch n Chop, we will definitely return!

    Hadn't heard of this place until coming for a work dinner. There was a special curated menu for the event, and it was hosted in the basement level. Very cute setup, and the food was quite tasty! The service was really outstanding. The waiter learned everyone's names and really went above and beyond to ensure the event ran smoothly.

    Mac & Cheese - soooo good and goey
    Elizabeth C.

    Stumbled upon this little gem after doing some research for places similar to Maestro's and other popular steakhouses. This was right up their alley, while it may not be as upscale it's just as charming, elegant, subtle and discreet. The restaurant has two levels- I believe the bottom level caters to private events. Staff were welcoming, smiling and attentive. I also appreciated the recommendations- be sure to tune in on their specials! Their mash was just delightful! The portions are filling and their drinks were also pleasing

    This place has changed so much over the last four years--and while a lot can change in that time,…read moreit was still disappointing to see. I stopped by on a weekday around 3:00-4:00 p.m., right as happy hour was starting. According to their website, happy hour runs from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The main reason I came was for their frozen rosé, which I remembered being one of the best. It's definitely more of a sweet, refreshing drink than a strong one, but it still gives you a nice buzz. I was even willing to pay full price for it. I literally paid for an Uber just because I was craving that frozen drink. The first thing I noticed was that, despite it being broad daylight, there was a security guard at the door checking IDs and searching bags. That's their policy, and that's fine, but what really stood out was the condition of the entrance. The front door was cracked and held together with duct tape. It seemed odd to be so focused on security while basic maintenance appeared to be neglected. When I walked in, I was only the second customer in the entire bar besides the bartender. Unfortunately, I found out the frozen drink machines have been broken for months, so there were no frozen drinks available at all. The bartender mentioned that she has repeatedly told management the machines need to be repaired, but nothing has been done. Since that was the only reason I came, and nothing else on the menu really caught my interest, I decided not to stay. This place has changed dramatically since the COVID era. The atmosphere feels completely different. One of the things I used to enjoy was their hookah happy hour, which was around $25 with refills for about $10-$15, and they had a great selection of flavors. From what I've heard, they no longer offer hookah, and it sounds like they may not have had the proper license back then, which is concerning if true. Another thing I miss is the outdoor seating area they had during COVID. The indoor space is pretty small, but the outdoor setup made the bar feel much larger and created a much better atmosphere. It's disappointing that they didn't keep it because I think it really added to the experience and probably helped attract more customers. Sorry I didn't take any photos, but honestly, there wasn't much worth photographing. The interior hasn't really changed, so the existing photos online are still an accurate representation of what it looks like still.

I wanted to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday on Saturday, May 16th, and after searching a few places, I settled on Sobro Garden especially after finding out it was one of Jimmy's spots. We celebrated with 30 of our closest family and friends, and it truly became a night he said he'll never forget. Where do I start? Let me begin by saying Sobro Garden, you guys did NOT disappoint!! First and foremost, thank you Jimmy, because when I tell you this man went above and beyond to make everyone feel like family at his establishment, I truly mean it. Jimmy personally checked in with everyone going table to table making sure everyone was enjoying themselves, asking if everything was good from the drinks, atmosphere, music and food was to satisfaction because he genuinely wanted everyone to enjoy and especially told my husband it's a blessing to hit a milestone, celebrating with family and friendsand hope his place made it a memorable one. Jimmy is truly a perfectionist at heart. A host beyond host!! Even taking pictures with everyone. He took several pictures with my husband and even accidentally walked away with his iPhone for a moment & my husband allow his too he didn't realize it was his phone until I told him. Our maître d', Suhaily, was such a beautiful soul inside and out. She made the entire booking process for my husband's event feel effortless. She guided me step by step, helped choice a menu plan, stayed in communication the whole time and was so patient, kind and welcoming the moment I arrived. Her smile and warm hearted present made the experience even better. She greeted me as if we knew each other for years and our waitress and waiter? Absolutely AMAZING. My husband, our guests and I were attended to with such PRISTINE EXCELLENCE all night long. Now let's talk about the FOOD... because BABY!!! Everything was DELICIOUS. I can't even single out one item because every dish hit the spot. Everyone at our tables ordered something different, so we all got to taste a little bit of everything from the pernil, steak & onions, grilled salmon, chicken, arroz con gandules, fried fish, steak skewers and BABY... those famous Crack Wings Rub had everybody wanting to eat their fingers To top it all off, the highlight of the night was seeing Melle Mel celebrating his birthday from the day before and actor Darrin Henson, so handsome in person was also in the building. Both were so down-to-earth and when Melle Mel grabbed the mic, he absolutely brought the house down!! Thank you again to EVERYONE at Sobro Garden for making my husband's 50th birthday celebration such an UNFORGETTABLE Experience. We will DEFINITELY be Back!

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*

    Harlem Hops is an African American owned and operated beer bar offering beer from local breweries…read moreand other breweries where the owner seeks and hunts. This is a place to find rare beer not ordinarily seen elsewhere. This was my first visit and I must have walked past Harlem Hops innumerable times along Adam Clayton Powell Jr Boulevard in Harlem. This time I caught myself walking past on a beautiful Saturday with a five second delay and turned around and walked into Harlem Hops. Initially I thought I'll have a beer and keep it moving. I ordered a canned Hefeweizen, Deep Fried Highlighter Hefeweizen. Yep, that's the name and it was great. It supposed to have a banana note, but that was barely detectable. The clove note was there and it rode the top of this summer Hefeweizen nicely. Given this is one of the canned beers, they may have this anytime. Then I had American Pale Ale on tap, another great choice for a summer day: crisp, refreshing, cloudy light amber in color and unfiltered reminding you of a Hefeweizen. It has a slight citrus fruity flavor to my palate. There are sixteen taps. The taps change with the kegs, the season and what the owner sources from local breweries and beyond. Meanwhile, I'm having good conversations with folks who are regulars and the woman behind the bar, giving great recommendations. I forget the woman's name, but she is great. You can sample whatever they have on tap. She is good at understanding your taste profile and making recs. They also have a limited food menu. There is a backyard patio or garden and one can sit outside in front on the sidewalk. The dark interior is nice and cool on a summer day. The bathroom was clean as well. Four stars!

    I was really excited to find this little place. It was quiet when I was there on Saturday…read moreafternoon, but heard that it picks up later on in the day. It was nice for me, though, because I got a chance to chat with the woman who tends to the bar and really explore their ample beer and ale offerings. They have an extraordinary selection with lots of things that I have not run into before. They tend to focus on local breweries. I found a couple of things I really like. I look forward to returning and trying some more of their ales.
