My daughter held a brunch for my birthday. It was a table of 10 and we had a great time. Unlimited Mimosas which was very tangy and a drink called ship wreck or something like that. That blue drink was good. Now the food was good for some and not for others. My husband and son's strip steak was very hard to cut and tough. Shrimp n grits was good. The music was on point and the atmosphere was grown and sexy. We had a great time but I want to go back and see their happy hour.
The food was excellent . I ordered the mussels, grilled shrimp and salmon meal. Which came with your choice of vegetables I picked spinach and a mixed vegetable medley. I also ordered the crab cake which came with a mixed green salad. A friend of mine ordered a steak meal. Which I was told was great also (the fillet meal). The service was impeccable. Very tight seating which I did not enjoy but the food made up for it. Sangria not so good. Gave it to my friend to drink. Same music kept playing over and over and over again. I don't know if it was a cassette or an eight track playing. But I was over it. 50 cent go shawty it's your birthday kept playing due to customers celebrating. Tight tight seating and the parking outside also atrocious. So try to come early enough so you don't have to keep spinning the block like me. Around and around for that area of Harlem. Happy eating
Ricardo's food was great.service amazing the manager Momo he was so pleasant and very attentive
This place has an awesome vibe and is very fun for brunch. They accommodated us in a cozy space in the back since we were a group of 12. Service staff was on point and very attentive to filling our drinks. Some went with the bottomless mimosa/bellini option but I opted for a margarita. We ordered some oysters and shrimp cocktail to start off and there was some bread on the table as soon as we sat down. The ribeye here is absolutely fantastic! Cooked perfectly and juicy on the inside. The green beans were sautéed with garlic and the roasted potatoes were a lovely touch to pull everything in.
Customer service was excellent they were prompt down to the check The food was Great I really enjoy myself I had the Filet mignon cook to perfection and the drinks were good to ... My first time there my girls treated me , got a promotion at my job so they surprised me ..I will definitely be back
Me and my best friend absolutely LOVE Ricardo's. The first time I went to Ricardo's was for my birthday event, which they set up so beautifully. The service was one of one, we did the pre fix menu, and there were no eras at the table. The place is dim, but in like an intimate type of vibe. Food, phenomenal. Drinks, phenomenal. It's just a place you have to go and experience. I definitely recommend their creamed spinach, mashed potatoes, and any of their meats. Incredible.
For me, a steakhouse is the go-to place for a fancy dinner or a spot to celebrate a special occasion. Having dined at many steakhouses in NYC, Miami, LA, Paris and London, I can say unequivocally that nothing compares to Ricardo's! They haven't earned any coveted Michelin stars or fancy awards. They're not upscale or pretentious and they're not trying to be. What they lack in extravagance, they make up for in incredible food and service. Having visited at least 6 times Ricardo's executes perfectly every single time. Drinks are 10/10, delicious and pack a punch. And while you're likely coming to a steakhouse to enjoy a prime cut (ribeye, lambchops and filet mignon are my favorites here), they prepare everything else just as incredibly. The steaks are always cooked perfectly and to my preferred temperature, the meat quality is excellent as the flavors accentuate and not overpower the cut. And can we talk about portions? Steakhouses are notoriously expensive, and Ricardo's is no exception, but their portions are so generous that I've never been able to finish a plate, ever! The value is unmatched. What also distinguishes Ricardo's from its competitors is the vibe. It's located in East Harlem - a vibrant neighborhood with a rich culture. Ricardo's atmosphere matches the vibe of the neighborhood perfectly. The lively crowd standing outside, or the crowd in the restaurant singing and dancing along to the DJ or playlist is always a sign to know that you are about to have a time. A dining experience that is sure to never disappoint. Ricardo's you'll always be my #1.
