- CCeanVIPNew York City •33 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoFirst time here in many years and it did not disappoint. We had a delicious meal & several appetizers before. The service was great-very attentive. The pasta dish was amazing as was the shrimp & grits. My son seemed pleased with the salmon jerk bowl, too. The live music was an added pleasure as the female singer & band members were very talented! I would highly recommend!More infoRed Rooster HarlemPrice: Moderate• Bar / Lounge / Bottle Service• Harlem•4.7

It was loud but in part because there was a large party of 20’s who were having a wonderful group dinner. We could talk at our table. But the food was terrific.More infoHavana HeightsPrice: Moderate• Cuban• Washington Heights•4.4
