    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!

    I ordered the spicy lamb burger. Amazing is an understatement. The patty was perfectly seasoned and shaped, and it literally melts in your mouth. It's the best burger I've had in ages. I loved the caramelized onions. Chef's kiss! I wish I could order everything on the menu. The service was excellent. The place has a great local vibe, and the cocktails look amazing, too.

    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!

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

    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.

    My friend and I came to PJ Clarke's to watch the Knicks in the NBA Finals, and despite the…read moredisappointing outcome of the game, we had a great night. We were thrilled to find two seats at the end of the bar when we arrived. As luck would have it, the two gentlemen next to us eventually left, allowing us to slide over and enjoy an even better view of the TV for the rest of the game. I started with a Tito's and club soda, but unfortunately, something seemed off--perhaps the club soda was flat. The drink just wasn't good. To their credit, the bartender took it back without hesitation and was very accommodating. I then ordered a Negroni after the woman sitting next to us highly recommended it. I don't usually drink gin, but this cocktail was absolutely delicious and changed my mind. Since we were there for several hours, we shared an order of zucchini and eggplant chips and happily snacked on them throughout the game. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming, with a nice mix of ages and people enjoying the evening. We made sure to leave our bartender a generous tip since we occupied our seats for the entire game. Even though the Knicks didn't pull out a win that night, we certainly didn't leave defeated. I'd happily return for another game, cocktail, and fun evening out. And maybe even get dinner there. Little did I know there was another big room in the ack once you past the restrooms. They were having a thriving business there!

Although small, it comes out piping hot and the fresh white onion between the bottom bun and burger is awesome because it doesn't make the bottom bun soggy and catches all the juices from the actual meat. Love subbing the fries for a Caesar salad! Standout appetizer is the fried zucchini and eggplant with tzatziki-- crispy, hot, juicy and I get it every time!

The bread was fluffy and not dry, which I had seen previous reviews say before. Paired with the creamy truffle butter, it had a luxurious mouthfeel. My favorite was the pork chop (cognac, sweet prunes, bacon, rosemary) -- the sweet and soft texture of the prune was melted in my mouth like fat, and the pork was tender, with the rosemary also coming through. The vodka rigatoni was a skip, somewhat bland and one-note, we ended up putting some of the truffle butter and garlic aioli from the fries to make it more flavorful. This was especially in contrast with the spicy shrimp pasta which was much tastier. Also got the strawberry vacherin (strawberry ice cream, meringue, vanilla whipped cream), it was my first time having this dessert. The tartness of the strawberry was great with the fluffy meringue and the sweet ice cream. Service was extremely attentive, and the restaurant is beautifully decorated with moody lighting.

It doesn't change what happened that first night, but it did change my impression of how much he cares about his guests and his business. I wanted my review to reflect that as well.
