The waiting area bar was very tight and hard to get a drink. Spacing of food could have been a little better.

Great food and service. Reasonable prices. Fun club vibe in the front of the house and a relaxed dining vibe in the rear.

I ordered for delivery from Maison Harlem and never received my order. I tried to call their telephone number but they never answered. When I disputed charge from Maison Harlem on my credit card account they claimed it was delivered. Conclusion: not a trustworthy business so I will not patronize again,

I came in just now and I ordered a drink with the bartender a Mexican man or South American and he had me waiting for 15 minutes while he kept serving other people that ordered after I did. I will never come back to this place Ever again. Bartender sux

Picked Maison Harlem to meet friends who were visiting from Italy. They were highly impressed! Incredible food, service and ambience!
The french onion soup was great as was the duck I had and the roast chicken my partner had. Lots of other interesting menu items that I'd come back for. It's a little loud inside so might not be best if you really want to have a conversation.

Dining Experience at Maison, Harlem – September 20, 2025
On Saturday, September 20, 2025, my party of three dined at Maison in Harlem, New York, between 6:00 and 7:15 p.m. I ordered the Soup of the Day, described as a purée of mixed vegetables. My colleagues selected lamb and beef entrées. Unfortunately, the overall experience was disappointing, and I cannot recommend this establishment.
The restaurant appeared unclean. The tables were only partially wiped, and the interior felt neglected. I found myself checking for rodents, avoiding the water, and wiping my own utensils before use. When I asked the server what vegetables were in the soup, they were unable to answer. Whether for reasons of allergy, food safety, or basic transparency, a restaurant should always be able to identify the main ingredients in its dishes. Based on what I observed, I question whether the ingredients—or any food served there—were properly washed or handled with care.
The music inside was uncomfortably loud, prompting us to move to an outdoor table. Shortly thereafter, cigarette smoke from nearby patrons made dining unpleasant, and a passerby began smoking a blunt (weed) just steps away from our table. At one point, a man approached our group and directed unwelcome remarks toward me and the other woman present, ignoring our male companion. By the time I finished my lukewarm soup, I was already feeling unwell.
As a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, athlete, and advocate, I am deeply aware of how what we eat affects our health and performance. I own a business focused (in part) on combating discrimination and inequity—particularly those affecting law-abiding African-American descendants of U.S. slaves. Initially, I did not plan to share this review, but after being invited to dine in Harlem again and having to decline, I realized it was important to explain why.
Harlem holds a rich history and vibrant culture, yet it continues to struggle with inconsistent standards in service and food quality. My own journey reflects this: I had to leave Harlem to train and run marathons, and upon returning, I noticed a decline in my physical performance—something I attribute in part to the quality and handling of local food.
I pray sincerely that Harlem will rise again, restored by integrity, care, and respect for its people. Only God can heal Harlem, New York, USA—and I pray earnestly that He does.

I’ve had the seafood risotto for years. Last night, not only the price had a steep increase, but the portion was MUCH smaller. It used to have many shrimp, now 3; 3-4 bites of salmon, now 1 plus a couple shreds. I used to finish half and be full.. last night I finished it. I know prices are up, but choose one or the other, raise prices or reduce size. It’s not worth $44 + $20 wine. Still like the vibe, but no longer doable.
