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.

Our reservation was accurate and necessary;large dining area very busy. Table a little small but serviceable. Seating is comfortable but tables very close together. We conversed reasonably well through the competing voices of the surrounding tables. Service is excellent. Server listens carefully, never rushed, answered questions perfectly. Drinks arrived quickly and perfect; excellent cappuccino and the best Bloody Mary. Bourbon list did not include Knob Creek (bummer). The French Dip sandwich is wonderful. My wife enjoyed her veggie burger. We dined across from Lincoln Center. Perfect.
