    My friend and I enjoyed a delicious meal on a quiet Wednesday. Service was very friendly and helpful. Our waiter/bartender provided suggestions on the menu and we were both very pleased with our selections. He also prepared a refreshing "nojito" upon request. I will definitely return. I hope this restaurant is included in Restaurant Week next year.

    Brunch at Home Sweet Harlem felt like stepping into a beloved family member's home for a heart-warming meal. The decor, ambience, playlist and service were superb. Our souls and bodies were nourished with delectable soul food, including the best, most buttery and flaky-in-the-best-way biscuits. To top it all of we were blessed to chat with the owner, Donna, whose warmth as a hostess is close second to her expertise as a chef. We will definitely be back soon!
