On the Grid : Barawine

"With its refreshing decor and expansive wine menu, it's no surprise that Barawine is a crowdpleaser. The boozy brunch and funky music draws a young crowd each weekend. Out on the outdoor patio, a row of brownstones mansions acts as your backdrop as you enjoy a delicious seafood tartar or hanger steak." - Tracy Zhang

"Amid the leafy, brownstone-lined Mount Morris Park Historic District, Barawine is an inviting dining room overseen by Fabrice Warin. This eye-catching space entices Lenox Avenue passersby to step in for a perch at the bar area’s communal table or a seat in the quieter back dining room. Whitewashed walls attractively double as wine storage throughout.The crowd-pleasing menu defies classification and embraces many influences. Quinoa salad with tofu and seaweed will please the disciplined, while ravioli filled with a flavorful blend of ricotta, spinach, and garlic in a beurre blanc sauce is positively decadent. Braised lamb shank in a glossy mushroom red wine sauce over creamy polenta is another hit." - Michelin Inspector

"If it’s one of those Sundays when you have no plans to leave your apartment but you feel like you should really be out in the world, head to Barawine. It’s the kind of place that’s suited for drinking a glass or three alone, especially on Sundays, when they also have live music. This place is split into two sections, with a long bar on one side and a small dining room serving a big menu of French-ish American food on the other." - Neha Talreja, Hannah Albertine, Bryan Kim, The Curious Uptowner

I went to Barwine on Lenox Avenue in Harlem with my friend and her husband, and it was such a nice experience. The place has an upscale but cozy vibe—very clean, stylish, and tucked away in a great spot. My friend’s husband ordered the leg of lamb, my friend had a steak, and I went with the chicken Caesar salad. Everything looked amazing, and we all agreed the food was delicious. I had to drive, so I just had a ginger ale, but it paired perfectly with my meal. It wasn’t too busy since we went kind of late, which made it even better—calm, relaxing, and a perfect setting to enjoy a good meal. The service was on point, and overall I’d give the food and the whole experience a 10/10. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!

There’s a point of France here in Harlem. The ambiance is cozy and warm with ambient lighting and great drink specials at the bar. The house Rosé is delicious and a nice pairing for the season. We went for Valentine’s Day and there is not any strangers here just folks you never said hello to. Wonderful date night atmosphere and nice size portions with a French flair! Don’t walk, run here and stay a while.

The waitress was excellent. She appeared to be the only waitress working in our area but the busboys were super attentive and cleared dishes quickly. We had the branzino which was very seasoned, when eaten with the tomatoes and asparagus the bite was flavorful and not salty. There was a DJ and the bar area was crowded and a bit louder but the seating in the back was nice. The reisling was on the sweeter side and the Harlem mula was not great but I think that’s because of the sour mix. The tiger prawns were small but the garlic butter sauce was really good. It would be great if it included bread to sop up that sauce. Overall the ambiance is super cute and the music was a vibe. Great date night spot.

First impression, great atmosphere. We were greeted warmly in the beginning but once our food came customer service was limited. Rubbery tasteless calamari, wings were just ok, and margarita was lacking. overpriced.

The service here is deplorable. Last night around 8:30pm Sunday 9.21. The bartender wasn't welcoming, no greeting or hello and then proceeded to chat with guests at the end of the bar for an extended period of time. Completely ignoring my friends and I waiting to place our order. Then my friend asked if we could order and one of the servers (Russian girl with a bun) said she's not responsible for taking orders and said the bartender is busy and to just wait. She gave us an attitude and was really rude. Then we just decided to leave and she continued to argue with me and go back and forth about it. i've never had an experience like this at an establishment and it's my 1st time writing a review! I will NEVER go back to this place. Really bad team and they need to rework their staff & management. ASAP.

I wanted to finally visit the little wine bar, not far from my new home and do some work this evening. I wasn’t super annoyed when the water was poured so high that it overflowed on my clothes, or when I ordered a glass of wine and was brought out the incorrect one or when they brought out the wrong food order, or even when I asked for the check three times. I was disappointed when I saw that a gratuity was added, and I was a solo Diner. Perhaps this is a practice because they have sadly encountered multiple people who were not considerate enough to tip however, as a restaurant and Bar Owner myself, it is a minimum requirement for me to tip 20% even when the service is mediocre. I generally tip 40 to 50 as a practice when service is good. I don’t know what to attribute the need to add a gratuity for a party of one, but I at least took solace in knowing that I tipped the back waiter more than the gratuity that was offered from the server. My hope is that the owner or whomever the decision-maker is reads this review from a fellow Restaurant Owner and simply does better so that customers don’t feel as unappreciated. Again, if this has been a common practice and several servers have left without being adequately compensated, this action is justified. I can only express how it made me feel.

Hot night in New York. We decided to have dinner indoors, but the air conditioning was off, which made it quite uncomfortable. The Barawine Burger was very tasty, but when it came time to pay, they had already added almost a 24% tip with no option to change it, and then they asked for an additional tip on top of that. This was our second time here, but we don’t think we’ll be coming back because of this abusive practice of trying to charge customers extra tip.

The service is horrendous. The bartender (tall, maybe Russian guy?) was so rude to multiple groups of people, it was unbelievable. Just a bad attitude and condescending like customers were a bother to him. Why the owners have him there for that crowd is questionable anyway. Busboys constantly interrupted family dinner randomly picking up items still being eaten. The waitress was stressed. Never said hello and plopped the bill down mid-bite saying she had to go. Good wine selection. AMAZING food. Great location. Good vibe from the neighborhood. Absolutely horrific management and service.
