   Absolutely delicious. Wait staff was amazing but seemed understaffed and frazzled for such a full large dining room.

   Awesome buffet! Went downstairs to Ginnys part of red rooster for their gospel brunch with Harlem sing and to say it was great is an understatement, their voices gave me goosebumps. Definitely, would do again.

   The staff was exceptional right from the start with the host. They were so complimentary and kind. The food was an absolute joy. I just had a dental procedure done that prevented me from eating hard foods and I was so disappointed about it having had this reservation, but what I did order (and wouldn’t usually) did not disappoint!! Lastly, THE BAND! we had a front row seat to amazing talent playing feel-good classics. I was so proud to show my friends Harlem by starting here. I recently moved from out of state and this was their first visit . We couldn’t be happier with the service, food and ambiance

   A perfect night out in the city. The staff were so welcoming and top notch -- our server overheard my friend and I toasting happy birthday and he sent over a birthday dessert for each of us! The food is so delicious -- I think it's even better than pre-pandemic. And unlike everywhere else in the city, seems like the prices didn't suddenly inflate to ridiculous levels? Win-win-win. We went on a Thursday night when there is live jazz, and incredibly the music was not too loud. Very enjoyable and yet we could still have conversation, just ideal. Everything about the night was ideal. This place is a gem.

   Dear Cecilia, We're absolutely thrilled your night out with us was such a smashing success! Feedback like this makes all our efforts worthwhile. We'd be delighted to host you again soon for another round of flavor-packed soul food and soulful live jazz that hits all the right notes. Until next time! All the best, The Red Rooster Harlem Restaurant Team

   The combination of food, service and music made for the perfect evening. Our bartender and server were as delightful as any two people could be. And the food was excellent. (I had the shrimp and grits!)

   Hi Otho, We’re smiling ear to ear reading this—thank you for such a kind note! It’s wonderful to hear that our signature shrimp and grits hit the spot and that our team behind the bar and on the floor made your evening memorable. A night filled with great food, warm service, and Harlem’s signature energy is exactly what we aim for. Hope to see you again soon! All the best, The Red Rooster Harlem Restaurant Team

    The mid-week afternoon lunch was relaxing and great with Seasoned Citizens. We were able to have meaningful conversations without having to talk over loud music or other noise. We had a pleasant dining experience.
