Seafood Paella Paella Marinera
Spaniard style rice with lobster, shrimp, squid, clam, mussel
This was a great dish... My love enjoyed it... I enjoyed it as well... The lobster part was fun to eat the most.. and the rice wasn't too soggy... which was my other favorite part.
Fried Whole Snapper Pargo Frito
Crispy whole red snapper with coconut and ginger sauce served with Caribbean shrimp fried rice
The fried shrimp plantain rice is amazing.. The only issue was the fish was a little too dry when it fried.... Other then that it was a great dinner.

This was a free Appetizer compliments of the chef... Couldn't remember what it was exactly.. But it was nice.
Flambeed Tandoori Lobster
Lobster tail, coconut milk, white wine, garlic cooked in the tandoor, flambeed with Indian rum
This was my coupon Dinner choice! OMG was this the Best Lobster I ever had! It was grilled and seasoned to perfection. The rice was amazing and the extra sauce was divine!!!
Steamed Coconut Halibut
Steamed in banana leaves, coconut, cilantro and sesame paste. Served with green pea pilaf.
This was my Fiance' dish and it was nice but nothing compared to my lobster... we both finished his dish and then indulged into the lobster together!
These are part of the complimentary appetizers that the chef sent. It was a fish ball of some sort and was really nice!
Burfee
One of the most popular sweets in India - diamond shaped usually made from nuts and milk. Served with a coconut & vanilla flavored sauce
This was okay.......
I would highly recommend this place. I am counting the days until I go again!

Whole grilled Peruvian Calamari special
When I say this is the best calamari I ever had in my life please believe I am telling you the truth!
The marinate that this beautiful piece had on it was beyond delicious I could not stop adding more and more onto my plate
I almost ordered another plate of this but we had dinner to devour so that help us back
You must find and try this dish
Pargo Rojo
MP
Fresh whole Brazilian Red Snapper grilled or fried to perfection served with yuca & sweet banana
I hate dried fried red snapper, This fish was still really juicy and packed with flavor! The fried clams were something unexpected and I swear I will have to get this groupon one more time!!!
Jalea Sin Ropas
23
Grilled fish & seafood sauteed with garlic & soy served with white rice & salsa criolla
This was hands down the most flavorful dish I ever had. The fish was nicely fried then covered with this most flavorful sauce and seafood I could ever imagine
Tres Leches
We devoured this and it was so damn worth it!!
Please what ever you do... Try Peruvian food and make sure you give this place a chance!!

Dinner with my future step mother in-law , Oh how nice
Instead of doing happy hour, we opted to sit at a table and have a nice bottle of wine.
This bottle was really nice, glad It caught a flick because I will be hunting this down and purchasing it very soon!!
ALASKA COHO SALMON 34
with the DYNAMITE 7 Enhancement
This was my meal.... hold up now hold up... I know there are no flicks of appetizers and such, but believe you me, we could not fit any more food before these decadent entrees.
This salmon, is by far one of THE BEST salmon dishes I ever had in a restaurant hands down.
I am doing back flips right now anticipating the next time I'm going to have the chance to go here once again!
Fist off you get to choose your style of cooking
Then you can add up upgrades and I was advised that the best one was the Dynamite because it;s a succulent sauce with crab meat on top.
YES it was by far the BEST choice ever... Sorry for the dark pics. I will go again and retake in another post :)
STUFFED AUSTRALIAN BARRAMUNDI FLORENTINE 32
Spinach, Crabmeat & Shrimp Stuffing
Tomato-Chive Butte
My Fiance had this dish, I tried a sample and all I could say was Veggie heaven. Even though it was a full Fish dish, Every bite had veggies on the fork.
CANADA SWORDFISH 32
This was Future Mother In-Law's dish, I never had Sward fish, and at first I wanted to ask where the rest of her dish was.
They treat the fish like a piece of Steak which is cool. I had the honor of tasting a piece and Understood why I was alone on the plate. It was cooked tot he perfect temperature and wow, I might have a reason now to try and cook it at home soon too!
With a meal like that... We had to get desert! and what better than Bread pudding!
Again so sorry for the dark pictures... Next visit will be better.
All I can say was that that too was an AMAzing bread pudding I ever had..... had chocolate chuncks in there
I say take your butt here for happy hour and test the waters before you go on and have dinner! either way I will Def go back again!

This review is based off both the food and the coupon...
The coupon was for two entree's some appetizers, and a drink.
Here's my date's dish for an entree, Salmon teriyaki. It was tasty I guess but nothing special... I liked the sauce.
The rice that it came with.
Here's my dish... I wanted broccoli with garlic sauce, but the waitress insisted I add other veggies, which I did, but the dish wasn't good at all... barely ate it at all.
This was an appetizer we shared... very small shrimp teriyaki...
Their rock shrimp was disappointing, why not drench the shrimp with the sauce, why give the consumer the option... not a fan, but it was okay tasting
House wine... what can I say... and As you can see in the picture, place was pretty empty...
Would I go here again, no... the place is basically a local restaurant for the neighborhood, if I lived in the area maybe it would be great, but I was a little disappointed that this was an option for groupon... next time I will read up on the place before I get a coupon...

$40 or $80 to Spend at Harlem on Fifth Bar & Grill Harlem on Fifth Bar & Grill
What a great Coupon to utilize in an interesting location. At first I was a little skeptical because I rather coupons that have a set amount of items to choose from but that defeats the purpose of trying new things I guess, Any who ( no more rambling) I really enjoyed my time here with my boo and let me show you why!!
This is one side of their draft beer selection, and being a beer lover, I was able to select all of the lovely beers they has on tap and enjoyed!
TASTING STROLL ON 5TH
5 oz SAMPLING OF OUR SIX CRAFT BEERS$14.95
My Favorite Beers would have to be the Speakeasy, Harlem At fifth (hahahaha), and the Nutty neighbor. The drinks are lined up just the way they are listed, and taste oh so good.
RIESLING DR. HANS VON MULLER 2011
fruity aroma and semi-dry finish. Mosel, Germany
My boo had a few glasses of this really light and crisp wine. It was a good choice with the meal we had.
Here is a a side of some veggies to indulge in.
LEMON GLAZED SALMON
lemon, butter, white wine, herbs$22
CANDIED YAMS and Rice on the Side
This dish was interestingly good, but we were advised to get the teriyaki, and I wish we did. The Salmon needed a little Umph or something. It lacked something on int he seasoning but it was edible.
GRILLED SHRIMP MAC-N-CHEESE
shrimp, cilantro, parsley$12
This was a a cool dish, I wasn't too fond of it. I rather the Crab instead, more flavorful and delicious!!!
BLUE CRAB MAC-N-CHEESE
crab, parsley, panko bread crumbs$12
Here's what I really enjoyed!!!!
The bits and pieces of the blue crab and the mac and cheese here was a real treat! I really enjoyed this a lot
I would highly suggest going here! The staff is great, the food is good/great depending on what flavor you choose lol... All in all a great dinner was had here!

Pan Seared Sea Scallops and Wild Mushroom Saffron Risotto
Great pub in the times square area. I wish the portion was a bit larger. I am really hungry after this. And for the price I expected more of something.
Service was okay, the server paid more attention to other things than her tables.
In regards to the food, the seared scallops were delicious. The risotto was astounding. Creamy and decadent. I really wish there was more on my plate honestly.
I would definitely go back for some more

Wow What a great place to find and spot good food...and guess what! Complimentary WINE for an hour.... I'd say it's a gold Mine!
Here we have Truffle fries, they were okay...the aoli on the side was good, could have used a little bit more truffle though.
And the Complimentary Wine guys!!! Yes free wine from 5 pm-6 pm. They do a rotation of a red and a white during the week. Great way to Sample a new wine a week I'd say. Inside of a snazzy hotel, I bet the rooms are as amazing as the lobby is. I would Love to go back and just watch the fire place and a have a few wines along with it.
I would recommend this place and have people try their dishes. i', not sure how the Lunch is set up... I might go in on a pay day to see what my Dollar can get me.... Till next time... Stay snazzy!
