Atmosphere...super fun...deejays...so dope...perfect blend of hip hop and r&b real turntable mixing...with serious music affectionados . I had a great time hanging in a party of 14 of my Sorority sisters. As for the food...meh. really meh. In other words it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't anything at all to write home about. I asked others about their dishes and I took a good look at their dishes. Their comments: The fried chicken...over cooked, the Shrimp and grits underwhelming (please remove the tail shell when serving with grits) the burger was okay...the wings looked dry, but had good flavor...the sangria was a hit. I ordered 2 dishes...the Kale and Quinoa salad and the Crab Cakes Benedict which I did not know came with potatoes (a disappointment) and a small spinach salad, lightly dressed. Dish 1. Kale and Quinoa...best dish. It was light yet filling. I would have liked larger beets, but overall the flavor profile was really a nice balance of acid and sweet with a nice crunch. *read the menu* Dish 2. The Crab Cakes Benedict. The poached egg was perfectly cooked. The Crab cake was a miss for me. I tasted mostly filling...not much Crab at all. The missing mesculin greens from that dish removed the expected brightness from eating a rich yolkey dish. The English muffin did not play a strong support role at all. Would I go back? Absolutely! Did I mention the deejays are fire? I just think when it's busy (and it really was).There just has to be greater care given to the preparation for every dish served. HARLEM is full of foodies.

A great place to meet up with friends and have brunch. They have live music which was very nice but it was a bit too close to the tables so we almost couldn’t speak with each other without yelling. The staff was very nice but there seemed to be too few people so we waited a long time to have our orders taken and for it to arrive. When our food arrived, it was pretty good and we enjoyed it. Except for one friend who ordered the fancy Mac and cheese, and expected to find lobster but there wasn’t any other than flakes. She did dump the entire dish on a plate to confirm and yup, we all saw barely any lobster. A change from how they did it before. She did bring it to their attention and they did try to help but all they said was that was the way the dish came. We waited to get her dish back but it took so long and she decided not have anything and we left after paying. Aside from my friend’s fancy Mac and cheese, we all did enjoy our food and it was a nice time. My food was the steak and eggs which was really good. Especially, the sweet potatoes with bell peppers. I did enjoy that dish and might return to have it again.

I wish I had the ability to give them a ZERO Where do I begin? It was HOT, HOT, HOT we are in the month of July and there was no air conditioner in the establishment. The atmosphere is cozy the service was great however there's no air conditioning. Staff claim it was on and it makes the room comfortable but there was no comfortability in there. we were sitting inside fanning. we even asked the manager she said nothing. even the serviceer were fannng themselves. This is a no go for me. As a Harlem Navie I love good eats it was raining outside I thought it will be cooler to sit inside due to the rain but they fooled me. Overall the food and drinks were amazing. I had the southern peach drink and a turkey burger. I was getting overheated I have asthma. I decided to leave and take the remaining of my food to go. I needed to go home & relax under cool air and enjoy the food. I would return if it's cooler or even if they have a fan.

Row house is a Black owned fun and upbeat restaurant in Harlem. We went for dinner to celebrate my best friend’s birthday and we were thoroughly surprised by the atmosphere. Our table was right across from the DJ booth so we were right in the action of everything. The music was rolling all night and the people were up dancing. The food on the other hand was nothing to call home about. I ordered the trout entree the fish lacked flavor and the capers did not save it. Also, there were a lot of bones in the fish making it hard for me to enjoy. For my sides I got four thick potato wedges and a spoonful of spinach. All were not good. Our server was ok he barely checked in on us but gave us a complimentary glass of champagne which we appreciated. The atmosphere makes me want to come back but the food does not.

I had the pleasure of dining at Row House in Harlem, New York. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. I had the Truffled Grilled Cheese, which was cooked to perfection and had just the right amount of spice. The sides were also delicious. The prices were reasonable, and the overall experience was great. I would definitely recommend Row House to anyone looking for a great meal and amazing music in Harlem. Everything was exceptional and a great brunch.
