Enoteca Harlem was born from a journey to the Basque Country, where I discovered the deep-rooted tradition and importance of family meals, and the vibrant culture of sharing tapas over a good glass of wine in the heart of San SebastiánThe calmness of the coastal life, the scent of the sea breeze sweeping over the vineyards, and the joy of savoring fresh, local ingredients are all part of what makes the Basque culinary tradition so special. At Enoteca, we aim to bring that experience to life—a little slice of the Basque Country where you can be transported to another place and celebrate the art of sharing tapas.

Excellent food - everything from mezzes to main meals and desserts was fabulous, fresh, full of taste and left us wanting more. Excellent service - our waiter was very knowledgeable about the entire menu and helpful and our water glasses were always full. We were seated in the upper back room, near the wine wall - so it wasn't too noisy but it was very warm, much warmer than the main dining room which was comfortable. We look forward to returning!

Haven is hands down one of the best views of New York City while you’re having an incredible meal. We typically for dinner but I’m sure other meals that they offer is just as good. It’s definitely one our favorite places to treat ourselves for a nice occasion.

Sandro’s was a delightful dinner experience for me and my family. We were met with such patience and accommodations for our dietary restrictions and preferences, and I value that when going to a restaurant. Our waiter Gabriel was very considerate and attentive, and I loved the decor & plates used! I’ll absolutely come back.

The food was outstanding. Loved the sweet & sour prongs, the sea bass, the Frosé and Blue Hawaiian. The staff was nice but were kind of rushing us when we were trying to eat. Music was so good. DJ was definitely doing his thing!!
