Best Date Night restaurants in East Harlem

Going to The Smith is always a treat! I booked today's lunch last minute and they took me 30 minutes before my scheduled time. The food and service was outstanding as always!

Last night was my second time dining at Hoexter’s and both times have been lovely. I went to dine on my own last night and I felt very taken care of by everyone working in the restaurant from the hosts to my waiter! I was 40 minutes late due to traffic and they immediately switched my reservation to a later time for me and completely downplayed my lateness when I arrived to make me feel better. The service is exceptional and so is the food! I enjoyed a very solid lychee martini, the exceptional Gorgonzola garlic bread (my favorite and the main reason I needed to come back), the steak frites (the fries are so so good and the steak was perfectly cooked), and the cookies and ice cream for dessert (love the mini cookies). Thank you to everyone at Hoexter’s for a lovely evening!

We hosted a family celebratory brunch there and it was perfect- the service and staff were outstanding - they went above and beyond. The food was also fantastic and everyone really enjoyed their meal. Such a nice setting too. Will absolutely return.

Sam, our server, was OUTSTANDING!!! Best sushi and dining experience in NYC! Thanks to all the staff at Nobu 57!

Lovely experience - great service and ambiance, loved the deviled eggs, crispy chicken & tried the delicious new turkey sandwich! Thank you Aleks for welcoming us back. We made Marlow our very first stop - glad to see you and your team and remember why Marlow is such a favorite.
