from beginning to end, everyone was friendly. we came in at a good time and were seated right away (we did have a reservation, but it does get busy). drinks were good, food was fantastic and came out in really good time.
I have come here about 4 times in the past year, and absolutely loved this spot. Great ambiance, great food, music and phenomenal service. The people who work here are extremely kind, are accommodating and really take care of you.

The restaurant has a lovely view of the Washington Bridge. We made reservations for 3:30 p.m. and ordered from the brunch menu. We were very happy with the service, and the food was delicious. However, the place looks a bit tired and requires an update.

Generally good service and good food but overpriced not to mention the up charge for using a credit card and mandatory 18% tip. You are mainly paying for the location.

A very disappointing address. Recommended by relatives who had appreciated it in the past, it must be said that it has had its day. Cleaning in progress when we arrived, while there were (rare) customers in the room. Faded facade. The main thing is the view, at nightfall or in summer, unfortunately not our case.Brunch imposed at $45 excluding taxes and tip (the amount also imposed on the bill, which does not prevent you from asking for an extra one!), i.e. a total cost of $60 per person for a starter and a main course...Two alcoholic drinks are also provided at will, you must insist on having a non-alcoholic alternative, which will be served at will.Starter consisting of 2 fried empanadas, and their sauce in a plastic cup, good but nothing more.Dish, of which we are still looking for the Puerto Rican side, composed of fried chicken on a tasteless waffle.The icing on the cake: $3.5 extra for payment by credit card.I do not recommend this address.

I recently visited Sofrito in Harlem with friends for a delightful dinner and drinks experience. The ambiance, with views overlooking Riverside Drive and the water, was truly breathtaking. Plus, their valet parking for only $20 was a convenient perk given the area's parking challenges.Now, onto the main event – the food! I opted for the whole pernil with rice, beans, and sweet plantains, priced at $40. The portion size was generous and utterly satisfying. We also indulged in their chicken, beef, and Cuban empanadas, all bursting with flavor. Personally, I couldn't get enough of the beef and Cuban varieties. The Chuletas De Cerdo were juicy and impeccably seasoned, while the chicharrón de pollo and carne frita were equally enjoyable.The atmosphere, enhanced by a DJ spinning classic and current hits, made for a memorable experience. While the service was quick, we felt a bit rushed out by our server(s), which was slightly disappointing. Additionally, some dishes were a touch too salty for my taste, and the tables near the windows felt a bit cramped. However, despite these minor drawbacks, I would still highly recommend Sofrito for a fantastic dining experience in Harlem.Parking: $20 for valet

Beautiful views and venue! The appetizers are really good but the rest of the food is mid. We had the spinach and goat cheese empanadas and they were so good.We came for salsa dancing which started at 8pm but no one was dancing so wasn’t sure if it happened or not. Would def be back just for vibes.
This restaurant was exceptional, from the valet to the host to our server. My family and I were extremely satisfied. The food and drinks were so delicious. We did go when there was a storm, so we had the restaurant to ourselves. But all in all. 10 out of 10!

Service was nice, didn't have to wait too long for our reservation ( got drinks at the bar- not all bartenders are created equal there! Some you can tell knew how to actually make drinks) DJ was a vibe ! Went with the crowd which was cool . Food was decent, feel like it could have a little more flavor but def big portions.

A bit on the pricey side but the food was amazing and worth it. The atmosphere and the staff were also very nice. Definitely coming back for this Ropa Vieja mofongo ?

Overpriced, mediocre service, $20 valet parking, lacking cleanliness, sticky tables and music too loud. If this place wasn't so expensive, it would be worth it, but they charge as if they were a 5 star when in actuality they're a 3 star.
