Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in East Harlem

We had a fantastic time from getting a drink at the bar to the meal at the table. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and had great suggestions. I would definitely recommend!

Food was definitely the best yet. Celebration Dinner for our 17 year old. Ordered all her favorites and enjoyed a delicious meal with friends and family!!!

I will never NOT go to Carmine's while visiting New York! It is the absolute best food every single time I go. Portion size is unbelievable, plenty for 4 hungry adults. Calamari was excellent! We ordered the special for the day, can't remember the name but it was penne pasta with a spicy sausage and vodka sauce - 10/10. Make reservations early!

I am a native New Yorker and had never been here, but I had walked by it a number of times. It was truly a pleasure. I was with my mother who is in a wheelchair and they could not have been more gracious or accommodating. It is so difficult to find a handicapped accessible restaurant--one that doesn't have stairs or other obstacles--so I was thrilled to find that they had a ramp and clear access. Not only that, the staff was so nice and so welcoming and did everything to ensure that we were comfortable. They did not at all seem put out that we needed assistance. We were there for brunch and the food was excellent. I had eggs benedict with smoked salmon and my mother had a special steak sandwich. Both delicious. The good service continued throughout the meal. It was such an incredible experience I was so grateful.

The food was incredible . Umami for sure. The staff was also amazing. The woman who seated and served us was extremely helpful and attentive to everyone in the restaurant at once. She ran that room like a pro to say the least. It was New Year's day as well the place was packed on a holiday and the staff was taking care of a full restaurant and take-out orders that seemed non stop for the 90 minutes we were there. They earned and deserved the Michelin star. And I loved the sketches of the restaurant that were hung throughout the restaurant among the many old photos . Will definitely be back soon.
