THE BEST OF HAMILTON HEIGHTS
My boyfriend and I go to Cafe Largo at least 3 times a month, and if we don't go, we order in. It is the best restaurant in all of Uptown. The restaurant in very romantic, and it was so packed on Valentine's day that we actually had to wait a while, eventhough we made reservations. But to make up for it, they gave us free dessert. And yes, the coconut Flan is wonderful.

Good food, Bad service
Made reservations but still had to wait. Staff was disorganized. Food was great but one does not compliment the other. They need customer service training.

Great!!!!
Upon entering Cafe Largo, I immediately felt comfortable and at home. The dim lights and the amazing decor gave the entire place a cozing atmosphere. The hostess took myself and a few of my friends to our table and the waitress followed behind. Okay, so far they get a B+. The water was poured, our menus were handed to us and our drink order was taken, all the while she, the waitress smiled and made us feel very comfortable. I ordered an Apple Martini as usual and I couldn't wait to critique it. HMMM, I was happy. Now it's time to order the food. I ordered the steak, sauteed broccoli and salad. Everyone else ordered, the rice and chicken, chicken fingers, and a bunch of other stuff. All I can say is the food was great. Perfect size, just the right amount of seasoning and taste and by the time I finished, I was hanging over my chair. Yes, I ate everything on my plate and that is pretty rare. I have been back to Cafe Largo several times since then and have introduced Cafe Largo to family members. Oh, here's a plus, I was so delighted to find out that Cafe Largo delivers. I just had great food and I can order in if I am in one of my lazy moods. Cafe Largo just went from a B+ to an A++. I highly recommend Cafe Largo for family gathering, first dates, second dates, third date...you get the picture or a place for you and your friends to have a great night out.

Attention! Attention!
My wife and myself have lived in the Cafe Largo area for quite a few years. We always suffered at the hands of medioca restaurants in the area until Cafe Largo. We have not had a chance to experience dining at the restaurant but we have been strongly recomended to. We took a chance and ordered a delivery one night and have not stopped ordering ever since. We both agree that the food is excellent and reasonably priced. Also the portions are a breath of fresh air. Thank god for a delicious order in meal while being surrounded by half measure restaurants. Thank you Cafe Largo

Wonderful!
I HIGHLY reccomend this place to anyone looking for a quiet romantic evening with that special someone. The location put me off a little at first, but this is honestly one of the best restaurants I've been too. The food is amazing, the ambiance is wonderful, and the service is above average. Anything from chicken to shrimp is served exceptionally well, but leave room for the flan, it's to die for!

Una Delicia!
My boyfriend and I love the place! Great location and what better than to contribute some business in my own neighborhood. The service is great and the food "una delicia." Zabrina is the nicest- it was great walking in and seeing a smile. The FLAN is a must have. After a full course meal Carlos and I were stuffed. When Zabrina insisted we taste the FLAN-ummmm... We ended up ordering another! Thanks

FYI
At first I was hesitant to visit a restaurant located on 137th and Broadway. I asked myself, how can it possibly be any good. "Outstanding" was the phrase I used when I walked out of Cafe Largo the first time. I have never been in a place where my glass was always full of water. I don't know if it's me, but I thought that was cool. The waitresses were great. They were friendly and hospitable. I became a regular. Since then the staff has changed, which is to be expected from time to time. BUT the service must remain the same. On my latest trips over to the restaurant, I have had to ask for water several times. They are not as friendly as Ilene and Louisa (I believe those were their names). But regardless of who may be serving, the point is that the menu has to continually be complemented by the service. It's a great place, be mindful of the little details and they'll continue to prosper. Good luck to them in the future and I hope that my review is taken into consideration.
