Reverence
Experience flavours of the West Coast when booking a table at Reverence. One of the most notable fine dining experiences in Harlem, the multi-cultural cuisine of California is brought to the forefront here. With a reservation-only policy, groups of up to six can enjoy quail eggs, yams and fermented uni-chille empanadas. But do you know the reason why chef Russell Jackson opened Reverence? He was disappointed with the dining options in Harlem so took it upon himself to deliver great cuisine and customer service, and we reckon he has succeeded.
Reverence’s website can be found here.
