Reviews for Barawine Harlem in New York, NY

Waiters and waitresses were grumpy. I ordered the hanger steak, which came with potatoes. The meat was hard and chewy. Price... 46$, including one beer. I won't come back and i don't recommend it. Read more

My review will cover two elements of my experience. First, the food is quite good. My second opinion is more regarding... management. By what would seem like a very strange coincidence I dined there about 10 days ago with two friends. When the checkarrived, we put down three credit cards and asked that the bill be divided as such. Within one weeks time two of us werevictims of credit card fraud. One friend notified me two days later, and obviously was very upset because now her card had to bedeactivated and she would have to wait for a replacement to be mailed. Two days later I received the same dreaded fraud alertcall. My bank card was used in a fraudulent attempt to take three thousand dollars from my account to pay for legal services atsome law firm in Oregon!!! I called the restaurant to express my alarm and deep concern and ask them to investigate. The"manager" (Abdu or Abdul) was immediately very abrupt with me, and cut me off saying "that doesn't happen here." I asked him ifhe did not find it unusual but he stopped listening me and cut me off again. He never offered to ask any questions of anyone orto have me stop by, he just ended the call. I was very insulted, and after waiting two or three days, I called the restaurantagain and asked to speak to a manager. The woman that answered, said just a minute, before she could step away, I asked her thename of the manager she was going to have take the call and she said "Abdul." I told her I wanted to speak to someone elsebecause he was very rude to me on my previous call. She stepped away, and when she came back, she said the owner was in ameeting, but would return my call later that day. Needless to say, it's been four or five days and I have not gotten a call. Iwill not be dining here again, and it is very concerning to me that this matter was not taken seriously. Read more

We came here on our first night in new york. We were greeted in and offered drinks (the first problem) We ordered a pint and... vodka lemonade, we were brought a sprite with no vodka. We then ended up getting the vodka and ordered our food. Steak andfries. The “first” meal came out and I started eating about about 10 minutes still not another plate.. we asked about it andthey assumed we would be sharing one steak and fries… so then we had to wait on a second one being sent out to be eaten. Thesteak itself was lovely but waiting 20 minutes between each person eating it’s crazy? When it came to paying they claimed thecard was not working, 3 different staff attempted to “pay with the card” we ended up taking the card machine ourselfs and itmagically worked! We did not sign for a tip as it was absolutely insane what we went through in the short time we were there andyet they still took a 26 dollar tip from our card? We will not be returning. 170 dollars was not worth what we went though Read more

This place is decent! It is a very generic restaurant in my opinion. It’s clean and a decent space but the food is extremely... basic and standard. We came for brunch and ordered plenty of things including the barawine brunch sandwich, croque madame,Caesar salad, hummus, chocolate lava cake, etc. it was all decent but it just wasn’t anything special when there are so manyother amazing restaurants in the area. I also think it is slightly overpriced. This is a good spot if you need a quick bite toeat for brunch or drinks but I wouldn’t expect anything exceptional. Read more

My first time at Barawine. I was not disappointed! Suggested this restaurant to my date and we both ended the date on a high... note. The music was jumping, the servers was excellent with bringing us our selections and ambiance was perfect. Glad O went toBarawine on date night. Read more

The food is delicious, the environment is very nice and cozy and the service is very good too.

Was not that great ordered the tiger shrimp as an appetizer and regretted it should have gone with the Caesar salad. For my main... course I got the braised lamb shank was good but it could have been better. The only thing I really have to complain about isthe service; it was not the best and took forever to get my order or anything exactly Read more

I've seen this several times walking by and finally decided to try it. Made a reservation via Open Table same night which was... great. Arrived about 25 minutes early and we were sat right away. The hostess was very friendly as well as the waitstaff. Order two glasses of white wine and I didn't take the name down. For meals, we shared the French Onion soup. Now you must lovecheese...because it had the most cheese, I've ever seen on top of French Onion soup! I did like that there was enough cheese tohave some in every bite..so no complaints here. Escargot was next up and tasty....the bread dipped nicely into the leftoverbutter sauce. The didn't have the pork tenderloin as stated on the menu, substituting with pork chops. I can't recall the lasttime I've had a great pork chop, it was delicious! And the sauce could have been more it was soooo good. Lamb shank was thesecond entree and didn't disappoint with the polenta on the side. Gravy/sauce was to die for. No dessert on this round...but Iwill keep in mind an try other items on their menu.
