Best Restaurants for Groups in Harlem

My wife wanted to go here for the Christmas decorations It was our last meal before leaving for the airport and it didn't disappoint decorations better than expected service and food to match would highly recommend Only thing we booked for 12.45pm arrived 12.35pm People in queue in front of us that had reservations for 1.30pm spoke to head waiter and he got us a table ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had a good experience at this rooftop bar and lounge, drinks 10/10.

We were so pleased with our first visit to Carmine's. My husband and I usually travel to NYC alone, and have never gone before because we heard how large the portions are - and they are NOT kidding. There were 7 of us for dinner, and we shared a Caesar Salad, Cheesy Garlic Bread, Rigatoni Bolognese, Eggplant Parm, Veal Scallopini, and Tiramisu and it was perfect portions. Only thing we took home was the Garlic Bread (which the 19-year-old scarfed down likely before it made it to the hotel fridge.) Paul our server was fantastic - happy to see our family reunion the day after Christmas with family from Myrtle Beach. The restaurant is crowded and loud, so expect that - but it's a fun environment and you can tell it's mostly families just having a great time. This dinner capped off a perfect day celebrating the 19-year-old's first Broadway Show.

We plan our trip to NYC around eating at Carmine’s. This time we ate at the upper West Side location. We usually eat at the Times Square location. But this year it was booked solid for Christmas a month in advance. We were wowed again with an awesome meal at Carmines at 91st Street. We had the garlic bread with cheese. We always ask to add the cheese. So wonderful. We also split the lasagna. It is the best we have ever tasted. We brought over half of it home. I would recommend either Carmine’s to anyone wanting authentic Italian food at its best.

TAO is a great experience very luxury feel if you are looking to impress a date and very nice ambience if you’re just going out with the girls! All though it may not look like it portions are shareable between 2 people. The food is so good and authentic and the staff is lovely.
