   One of the best restaurants we have ever been to. My wife had the shrimp and grits. The BEST grits we have ever had in our entire life. We couldn’t stop eating them! Practically licked the plate clean ;) Had a side order of collard greens to share and they didn’t disappoint! So, so good!! My daughter had the cat fish. She said it was the best she has ever had. I don’t care for cat fish and tried a taste and it was delightful! Our server Dante gave us outstanding service with a wonderful smile and was extremely helpful, with the menu to help us, with the many choices to choose from. If you go there make sure to ask for her! I sum this review up with saying this has to be one of the BEST restaurants in NYC! This was the best meal we had on our trip to NYC.

   TLDR: If you are considering dining here, I might suggest you save yourself the trouble and check out The Corner Social across the street- better food, better staff, and much better ambiance. At Red Rooster, we arrived and ended up standing in the middle of the dining room waiting to be seated because there was an issue with our reservation. The food was mediocre at best; every entree ordered at the table arrived severely undercooked- my salmon was more like sushi- and had to be sent back. Servers were nowhere to be found, not once were we asked if we needed a refill, and sat with empty glasses for more than half our dinner. What's more, the fire alarm began blaring while we were eating and not a single manager, server, etc. managed the situation. Everyone kept operating as if nothing was happening. Not a single person came over to the table to let us know what was happening, if the situation was under control, etc. After 15 minutes of sitting at the table with the alarm blaring so loudly that we couldn't even have a conversation, the FDNY arrived and was able to shut off the alarm. What did the Red Rooster crew do to try to apologize for the massive inconvenience? A person who we presumed to be the manager came over and gave us each a singular Hershey Kiss?? not a discount on the overpriced, mediocre food at best, not a drink on the house.... a singular Hershey Kiss. And to top off a terrible evening, not 5 minutes after we requested our check, a host came to our table and rudely informed us that "We have another party coming at 8 pm, and we need you to leave immediately." I honestly had half a mind at that point to take their advice and leave immediately without paying, but instead, we paid a small fortune for a terrible evening.

   I grew up with southern food, I found this to be too sweet (cornbread, greens, chicken). I was disappointed with the good. The ambiance and music were great. Our service was great as well.

   Red Rooster HarlemResponded 6 days agoDear Toujours, Thank you for joining us. We are happy that you enjoyed our service, ambiance, and music. However, we are saddened to learn that our food did not receive equal accolades, and we sincerely apologize. Our goal was to have you enjoy each perfectly seasoned, properly cooked, and flavorful bite, and we fell short; our deepest apologies. We sincerely hope you will give us another chance to redeem your faith in our cuisine. Warmly, The Red Rooster Harlem Team

   My guest and I were seated promptly. A waiter soon appeared to provide the table with water and notify us that someone would appear shortly to take our orders. Everyone was courteous and pleasant. The only thing that I did not get was a virgin drink for my guest who did not want alcohol.

    We were worried that we would not hear the live band for all of the time that we were there and had called to make sure and were re-assured that we would hear them for all of our dinner. We ended up hearing them for about 45 minutes before they left and that was only because we arrived earlier than our reservation. If we had arrived on time, we would have only heard them for about 1/2 an hour, even though we paid $45 in advance. We were a little disappointed.

    Overall, the pasta, turkey, stuffing, and shrimp and grits were delicious. WeThe decor was beautiful, and the vibe was exciting. However, when my guest and I arrived, we saw empty pans with 3 pieces of corn bread. It could be perceived a time and temperature violation. For $75 person, your pans should always be filled. No paying customer should wait for pans to be refilled in a well to do eatery, especially when people are timed (90min-2 hours). For the holidays, I hope next time you can provide a complimentary cocktail. We were happy with our purchase of a bottle of wine (Schmitt Sohne Riesling), two cocktails and later we went upstairs to the bar to further enjoy cocktails. The buffet seating limit was unclear. On the phone before the event, your hostess or rep stated to me that the buffet was 2 hours but when we arrived at Red Rooster, we were told 90 minutes. That needs to clear on your menu/website.

    My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the Red Rooster Thanksgiving dinner! We were pleasantly surprised by both the serving portion size and the quality of the selections. The appetizers, main course and the Swedish Glogg were excellent! We were a bit disappointed by the dessert selection and the quality. Our server, Terrance B. was very knowledgeable, attentive and honest. He made great recommendations and made our experience memorable! We will definitely visit Red Rooster on future visits to NYC.

    Visiting NYC from Houston for the Thanksgiving Holiday and Red Rooster Harlem was on our list of must-do’s! As a fan of Marcus Samuelsson from his days on Chopped, always wanted to visit one of his restaurants. Finally had the chance and the experience was even better than hoped for. Service was excellent! Food was outstanding and the ambiance was perfect complement to both. Highly recommend and will return on next visit to Harlem!

    We are visiting from Dallas and made reservations for Red Rooster for their Thanksgiving buffet. We were pleasantly impressed, beginning with the service from the time we got there, to being seated promptly, to attention from the server. I loved the ambiance of the supper club from the setting to the band playing jazz. I must say though that the food was superb and well seasoned, the turkey and pasta were my favorites, the salad simple but unique and overall we were very pleased with our choice for dinner. I was also impressed with how well the managers ran things, with attention to detail and friendliness to the patrons making every effort to ensure our comfort and pleasant experience. I will definitely dine there again and soon. Thank you for such a great experience.
