Loved it here! Brunch here was fantastic. I had the crab cakes, calamari, and of course, the bottomless mimosas. My fiancée had the blueberry pancakes, and my friend had the biscuit breakfast with chipotle honey butter, and they were all delicious. Lido will definitely be seeing me again!

I've eaten here so many times, but as I age, the noise level really gets to me. I try to come very early or very late. However, the food is still delicious.

Better quality food than most restaurants in Harlem. Also, the service is superior as well (the staff understands the primary goal is to accommodate the patrons).

This IS the place! But I only wish it was quieter, but the people love this place. Its a small establishment so when it's crowded it can feel like we are on top of each other.

There was no wait time, and the ambience was great overall. However, our experience was impacted by an unusual interaction with one of the hostesses. About 40 minutes into our visit—well under the 90-minute seating limit—we were told that we could only get refills if we stayed under 90 minutes. She also began removing sugar boxes from the table, which made us feel rushed. At that point, we hadn’t even had the chance to order dessert. It was an odd and somewhat uncomfortable exchange that stood out in an otherwise pleasant visit.
