    The fries (regular, not truffle) and HT Burger are consistently on point, never fails, next option would be lamb burger. The carrot cake will always be "yes, please", unless you are allergic to nuts. The staff are attentive and fun.

    A delightful place for brunch. The jazz music was lovely and not too overwhelming. The food was very good. What impressed me the most was the staff. Our weight staff was fun, kind, attentive etc. One of my party had a minor issue with her meal and the manager dealt with it immediately professionally and with respect.

    We were very glad we made this late night reservation at Harlem Tavern, because they were packed! Understandably, this made service a little slow, and they had sold out of certain items, but overall we enjoyed our visit.

    Came here for my birthday with about twenty friends. Great food, wonderful indoor/outdoor space. Lively and energetic. I wouldn’t come here if I was trying to hear every word across the table from me
