Enoteca Harlem — Restaurant in New York

I will definitely be back here. We had such a great experience for my first time. I can’t believe this spot has been here for three years. I feel like I’ve been missing out on a gem. It’s intimate, lively and cozy all at the same time. Cute for a date night, solo or an evening with friends. The chef and bartender know what they are doing. My friend loved the sangria, the frozen fruit is low key genius… and the orange wine is dangerous so lead with caution…. The ham croquets are the best👌🏿 I like that you can get a croquet mixer and have fun with the different tastes. Each bite felt like something special. The lamb definitely stood out. The pair with the carrots wasn’t preferred but the meat was seasoned and perfect for taste. The scallops. Omg! They were served in cute shell plates. I was very impressed. I love that they offer tapas along with entrees as well. We clearly were excited to try it all but the service was exceptional. The staff were attentive, welcoming and very helpful even on a slow night. I can’t brag enough. 10/10. We were very pleased. This will go on my list of Harlem favorites. Do yourself a favor and come here. I highly recommend....

Just tried the new menu and I’m a big fan. The restaurant already has a great design and back deck, and an amazing staff and owner. With the new menu, they’re now my go-to brunch spot as well as my after-work treat. They have multiple vegan brunch options, and kept their delicious jackfruit ropa vieja. The non-vegans in the group really loved the chicken and Brazilian cheesebread waffles. The chicken is boneless and breaded instead of battered. We can’t wait to come try the other dishes and save room for basque cheesecake and flan.

I wanted to note that they bake all their own bread! That’s a huge feat, and it made the Vegan Garden open faced sandwich really stand out. It’s just amazing that they bake challah for their French toast, too.

The drinks continue to be great. In addition to their amazing giant sangria and curated wine list, the gin cocktails are great. We ordered the Madrid and it was perfectly balanced and...

Food was excellent, the service on the other hand was not. We suspected the waiter forgot to put our paella order in after he came to ask us if we were going to order anything else after only a couple of tapas and then, when we said we were waiting for our paella, proceeded to tell us that the paella would “take some time”. He then actively ignored us for over an hour after repeatedly trying to get his attention to fill our empty wine and water glasses. When he finally came back around he said his colleague had mistakenly given our paella to another table and he was annoyed at him. Not quite an apology. To his credit he offered a comped dessert, but honestly too little too late. Not sure if this is the norm here, but it’s a real tragedy considering it was one of the better paella’s I’ve had in the city. One expects more at this high price point. I likely...
