    Took my mom and sister here for Brunch and it was stellar. Fabby was my server and she was very knowledgeable of the brunch menu and dinner options since brunch was ending shortly after I walked in. She still accommodated me with brunch drinks but dinner entrees. The lobster mac was too die for. (A tad bit small but hey that's the new style of dinning now.)The shrimp and grits were so delicious I recommend them both to everyone. This is my new Harlem, NY find and I will definitely be back.

    A colleague recommended the restaurant. I needed a new spot for a. Usiness meeting. Blujeen is on my neighborhood, so I decided to give it a try. I've been to most of the diner restaurants in Harlem., Vluejeen was a pleasant surprise. I can't wait to round up some friend and get back there!

    We took my mother to Blujeen for brunch after church on Mother's Day. Despite the crowds coming in and out all afternoon, we were greeted warmly by the hostess and our server Fabiola was very attentive and friendly. She was fantastic! The food was delicious - exceeded our expectations! Look forward to returning again and again!

    I've been to Blujeen several times and have usually enjoyed it. However this time I was somewhat disappointed. The noise level was extremely loud. The service was still very good although a little slow. I've had the corn chowder with lobster every time I've been there. It seemed a little thin and not as flavorful as in the past. The food when it came was not hot and the portions seemed smaller. The mimosa s were still very good. All in all it was a disappointing experience compared to my previous visits. I don't know if it was because it was the day

    Visiting my grandfather who lives in Harlem and looking for a great place to eat, we were sold on the menu. Grandfather had his fave, a hamburger, and said it was the best he'd had in years - high praise considering he's 91! My husband had the fried chicken and lobster mac. His only complaint was that his half chicken wasn't seasoned nearly as well as my wings. The lobster mac was good with generous lobster but it was served lukewarm. I had three apps: the chicken wings (delish), the Brussels (delish) and the shrimp & grits. The latter was tasty but also served lukewarm and needed a bit more seasoning. All three of us shared the okra which was good but again, we wish the cornmeal had a bit of seasoning to it. Overall we did like the place, the atmosphere was nice (the HH crowd can get a bit noisy) and the service friendly. I'd return again but would be sure to ask for salt and pepper at the table and request the dishes not sit before coming to our table.
