    RICOTTA GNOCCHI
    Tamara L.

    First time coming and was pleased with the food for sure. The standout for me was the shrimp! They were spicy which isn't usually my thing but so good! Otherwise the veggies were all solid and the gnocchi was pretty good but it should have been served a little hotter. Would definitely come back! Maybe next time for brunch!

    Inside the Marlow Bistro
    Charles B.

    Brilliant local spot here in Harlem that is the perfect date night experience. Came here with my boyfriend for dinner on Friday and was blown away by Marlow Bistro! Everything from the Ambiance to the service was perfect. We had a reservation (highly recommended making a reservation as this spot gets busy) we were sat immediately near the window, which was a great spot for people watching. Our server immediately came over to greet us with water and then shortly after took our drink order; I had a dirty martini and my boyfriend had a glass of wine (if you are into bold red wines give a glass of the Thread Count a shot! So good!!) From there we ordered our dishes and here is what we had: Starter: - Salmon Rillete (really tasty almost like a tuna tartare) Main course: - Housemade Ricotta Gnocchi (best gnocchi I have had in a while, highly recommend; the brown butter really makes this dish!) - Marlow Burgers (my boyfriend said it was a perfect burger cooker to perfection- medium rare.) Both of us had fries and I can't stop talking about them! So crispy and flaky! Must try while you are here. I can't say enough about Marlow Bistro. I will definitely be returning with friends and can't wait to try something new on the menu. Thanks for a wonderful date night!

    CARROT CAKE
    Ylleana G.

    Their gnocchi is so good. The mushroom dish was great, but I wouldn't order it again. The carrot cake was a much enjoyed sweet treat. The service was okay, nothing above and beyond, but it wasn't poor service by any means. The restaurant itself was intimate and homey.

    Super Tuscan blend of red wines

    Food 5/5 we truly enjoyed the octopus Drinks 5/5 - both mezcal cocktails I tried were delicious Price: $$-$$$ Ambiance: 5/5 there's quite a lot of indoor and outdoor seating for Manhattan Valley Service: 5/5 the bartender Phillip was quite friendly and entertaining I met a friend here for drinks on a Monday night and it was surprisingly bustling, though there was plenty of space at the bar. I got the Pinerolo (a prickly pear mezcal drink) and the Drop it Like It's Hot (mezcal, lime and red clay spice). Both were delicious but only the rim on the Drop it Like It's Hot was spicy. I liked the prickly pear better of th. My friend got a gin martini followed by the Super Tuscan red wine blend, which she swears by. My friend is a regular here and this is one of her favorite cocktail spots. We shared the octopus, which was super tender and served with a small potato and cucumber salad topped with feta. It was a treat!

    Secret upcharge added to our bill without consent

    Stunned to see the secret charge added to our bill at this place, in addition to a random 20% upcharge. Nothing here was worth this price. Buyer beware!

    The food was really good, service was really good. The atmosphere was relaxing and cozy. Will definitely come back again

    Sally W.

    Everything was amazing! From the food to the ambience to the service 10/10! Came here to celebrate my friend's bday and not only was the wait staff attentive throughout, they also asked beforehand if we wanted to order a few deserts beforehand so they can light up a candle to bring out at the end. Their cocktails are delicious and beautiful (I got the spill the tea) and their pasta portions are perfect - I was full but not stuffed by the end. I will definitely be back in the future! I also highly recommend their octopus appetizer - it was my favorite

    Absolutely delicious! The best bread I've ever had at an Italian restaurant, and the ricotta gnocchi is wonderful. Great service!

    The first thing I noticed was the ambiance of the restaurant. There is outdoor seating but we sat inside and they had the windows open so it was still nice and breezy. The decorations are beautiful, as they have flowers hanging from the ceiling. I ordered the salmon which was cooked really well and tasted fresh. My friends got the burger and Egg Benedict. I tried some of my friend's fries and it tasted really crispy, which I how I like my fries. The servers were also very attentive and kept checking up on us. Overall, had a really great experience dining here and would come back again!

    Basil leaf...ewww

    Appreciate management reaching out and offering us an opportunity to come back. Good they listen to feedback.

    How's the outdoor seating?

    Hi Sarah, we have one of the most beautiful patios in the area.. please do join us. On side is open the other one on 110th is covered under a roof.

    Do I need to make a reservation for a Wednesday night?

    probably not but can't hurt. it is a relatively small place

    Visited on a Friday from 6-7 PM. It was completely dead, but they mentioned a live band plays at 8…read morePM on weekends, which probably brings a great crowd because the interior ambiance and vibes are already beautiful. The Food: * Starters: The hummus and muhammara with pita were great. They also gave us bread with EVOO--it looked perfectly crusty on the outside and soft in the middle, and it tasted just as good as it looked! * Mains: I couldn't decide between lamb and salmon. The waiter suggested lamb, but I went with the salmon and it was the best decision. The citrus sauce on top was divine! Wish it came with rice instead of just veggies (though the veggies were tasty). The Service: The staff was friendly and service was good, but a heavy language barrier made it hard to understand the waiter, so he wasn't very helpful with menu questions. Overall, a great experience. I'd definitely come back later in the evening to catch the live music!

    Mediterranean @ Edgewater, NJ, 3.5 stars…read more Decided to try the restaurant since it was 10 minutes walk from my sister's place. We had a dinner around 8pm on Friday but the restaurant was not busy at all. It appears it used to be a cuban restaurant but v the owner changed and became a Mediterranean. The menu was very simple and it was a BYBO. We told our server that we wanted to share every dishes. We really liked the hot crusty bread served with a spread and it also tasted good with babaganoush. The pita bread was stale and burnt which came out with the babaganoush. The beet goat cheese walnut was refreshing. The fried calamari was crispy and went well with tahini based sauce. The lamb shishi kebob was tasty but the portion was very small and it was chewy. There was too many overcooked carrots as a side. You coould park on the street or valet parking was available.

The place was beautifully decorated…read more We had a pre-fixed Thanksgiving meal so I'm not sure what the regular menu is like but I'm sure it's just as good. We ordered two fish dishes (salmon and swordfish) and they were both delicious. The only thing I didn't really like was the rolls were ice cold and so was the butter.

Got a cozy window seating and loved the ambiance thanks to their floral interiors along with holiday ligthing right next to our table. Noise levels on the quiet side and easy to have conversations. They have a decent kids menu, and the Chicken Fingers ($10) were perfect for our little one. Huevos Rancheros ($19), and Vegetarian Omelette ($19) which was served with home fries and tossed salad was a good portion. Kimbo Coffee ($4.25) was actually pretty good although would've loved it to be warmer. Refills were slow to come. Food was inline with our expectations. Food arrived within 8-10 mins of placing our order, so yeah, really quick! Our initial server/waiter wasn't that attentive but their crew members were definitely more alert. Overall, pretty decent experience.

    From a wedding guest point of view…read more Wedding was right before the December Storm. This is rated as one of the most expensive venues in NYC. Yes, the views are amazing, however the weather has to be just perfect. Especially if you plan to use the outdoor patio. Which, why wouldn't you? The space itself is not for large groups, wedding party size approximately 50. Plus the wait, bar & other service staff. The location is prime, if you plan to take a car, remember this is NYC & traffic is bad. You can probably walk faster than a cab or car service. Especially during the month of December. NYC gets more visitors in December than all year long. The venue has 2 bathrooms for women which is not good, however worked for this crowd. Think of this location as a once in a lifetime, only if you have the funds for this location. As guests we were thrilled to be invited to such a lavish wedding!

    Thinking of getting married at 620 Loft and Garden? Here's a short review from a wedding…read morephotographer's point of view: If budget isn't an issue, this place is simply magical! Rooftop wedding in the heart of Manhattan with incredible views of St. Patrick's Cathedral & Rockefeller Center. What more could you ask for? It's makes for one incredible experience for not just the bride and groom, but for all of the guests who are always completely blown away. As close as it is to being perfect, there are few things to keep in mind: 1. If the weather doesn't cooperate (as it didn't during the wedding I shot there, when it rained right before the ceremony), the main garden does get quite soggy. It got bad enough that the bride had to walk around the guests via the outer walkway instead of through the middle. Definitely not the ideal way to make an entrance. 2. The inside is as simple as it gets, so it's really up to you(r planner) to make it something amazing. Basically, picture a clean, white room; a blank slate. If minimalism is your thing (as is with me), then you'll love it. Otherwise, plan to get creative! 3. Space. It's definitely not for large events. Even for smaller weddings, the cocktail hour gets quite cramped. But if you're planning on getting married here, you know that already. From a solely photographer's perspective, while it does make possible some absolutely stunning shots (one of my favorite images was taken here, which you can see in the Photos section), the size of the venue as well as the blank indoor space does limit how creative you can get. If you're looking to get a wide variety of photos, I'd highly suggest you stop by another location for or after the First Look and get portraits before heading to 620 Loft and Garden. If you're set on getting married here, a gallery of a real wedding from 620 Loft and Garden is up on my site, so feel free to check it out for some wedding ideas!
