After making a reservation for a Friday night dinner, I was contacted by Susie in order to confirm the details and discovered I'd booked at the Richmond Street location and meant to book at the Queen Street location. Susie quickly transferred my booking with no issues.
I'd been daydreaming about chicken and waffles for 2 weeks prior to this so needless to say I built up expectations in my head and when it quickly arrived at our table I was glad to discover my expectations weren't only met but exceeded. I understand that chicken and waffles isn't exactly a difficult dish, but it is easy to screw up. Everything was done very well and the 3 sauces provided ensured that the flavour combinations were wide. The server even gave me a side of their scotch bonnet hot sauce which was very good too.
In addition to this, we also tried the Harlem Mugger drink special which was also very good.
I'd like to also note that the piano player that is usually there was not present that night. Although this was my first time at Harlem Underground, I've been told that it can get quite loud while he plays. The music chosen to fill in for him was quite good and I am always relieved when restaurant staff don't treat this dining aspect as their own personal playlist.
Everything fell right into place that night from the ambiance, service and food quality. I hesitate to give anything 5 stars, but looking back on that dinner makes me instantly want to return. Well done Harlem Underground.
