Took my mother here for her birthday dinner and it was our first time there. The atmosphere was great and the music was good! Now my waitress Sara was top tier!!! The food was amazing and so so so good! The drinks were good the mango margarita and rum punch was my favorite! We will definitely be coming back especially for them honey butter homemade biscuits!!!! Thanks for the great experience and making my mothers birthday dinner so amazing!!!

The food was delicious.Service was trash. We were a party of 6. We all paid for the unlimited mimosa, and our server came 3x. We also had a pitcher of wine. He didn't ask if we wanted a refill. 90 min and 3 fills, don't add up. Then the tip was $100.... why, for what ? What service...Not again. Never again.

I would go back but the waitress was not the nicest. The food was good.
If I could put zero stars I would. I went with my father, soon as we walked in everyone staring workers and customers. Nobody at the front desk. We sat down, no complimentary water. “Servers” took more then 3 minutes to bring water. Me and my father left! Nobody came to us by the time we left. Price of a Quesadilla $32 for some regular stuff on it outrageous. So embarrassing for being a black owned place won’t even put restaurant to it smh

(03/22/24)God where do I even start… I’ve been to Chocolate many times. This would be my 5th or 6th.. their food is OVERLY expensive, but not bad— at least last I’ve been. (Gratuity on a party 2 or more? INSANITY… Last time it was a party of 3-4 or more… my last visit was a party of 2 and was STILL charged a gratuity. But I let it be)Today my fiancé and I go to celebrate our anniversary and the first thing we’re hit with is the smell of dirty cat litter box? However, we swore it smelled like decaying rats as well.After we are sat, we take around 5 minutes to decide what we wanted to order. Now we’re already aware from previous visits that the food will take around 20 minutes. My fiancé and I waited 15 minutes and watched as the severs just chit chat near the window… now mind you, there is only us and two other people… (TOTAL? 6 customers)At this point we decided to leave and go elsewhere.The service has always been bad, but never this bad… and added with the smell.Proceed with caution ?

It was clear my business was not wanted. If you know what I mean. I think this is an exclusive place. Not for people like me. That’s fine. Just a heads up.

This Saturday I visited the restaurant I was so excited I ordered lobster Mac and cheese, the lobster tasted like immitation lobster I ordered fried clam salad both the Mac and cheese and fried clam salad were extremely flavorless, the textures of the food were on point I enjoyed the lambchops and mashpotatoes, although the lambchops were tender and to my liking, just needed that extra umph of seasoning,mash potatoes were good just needed a bit more seasoned salt, the mango margarita perfectly to my liking, but I must say for food that is good as for as texture although flavor less the food is extremely overpriced. Not what I expected at all I was highly disappointed, I didn't even take the left overs home.
If you're going to Harlem, you absolutely have to stop at this great place. Excellent food, atmosphere and top service?and very friendly staff? I recommend this restaurant 200%. The Marseillais ???
