Sofrito

This place is a vibe. I went here with my wife and her coworkers for one of her girlfriend’s birthday and not gonna lie it was a great vibe. I have to admit that for the many years I’ve been visiting Harlem I’ve never went to Riverbank Park. At first i had mixed feelings about the park but once I entered the park all those mixed emotions went away. I thought it was gna be “ratchet” lol but it was completely the opposite. The park was clean and the grass was well cut and then upon entering the restaurant, the entrance was very clean as well. Entering the establishment that’s where the vibe shift happened for me bcuz it was not what I expected. The vibe was on point, the host greeted us right away and the wait time was minimal at best but that could’ve been because of the time we got there which was around 9 p.m. The waitress came right away and took our drinks order and man the drinks were hitting lol. I had the Rum Punch, my wife had the Lychee martini and another coworker had some white Sangria and others had regular cocktail but alll the drinks were hitting. For appetizers we had the Cuban and Beef empanadas and they were GREAT! For dinner I had the Delicious Fried Red Snapper with stuffed clams, calamari, shrimp, muscles with a side of Rice and Beans and omg it was well cooked and I ate every bit of it. My wife had the Steak with mashed potatoes medium temperature and even that was delicious😋. Her coworkers had a bunch of other stuff but I don’t quite remember the names of the dishes but I had a taste of it all and yum yum yum 🤤 it was. I would definitely recommend checking the restaurant out if you in the area or just looking for great Spanish food. Service was A1 and food A1 and drinks as I said was A1+. I’ll leave pics to give you an idea of what you can expect when you visit. Thank me later guys 🫡👊🏾.

Loved every second of my time here. Enthusiastic and friendly staff, along with delicious food that makes me feel like I’m at the family holiday dinner.

I've been here several times! Always have a good time. Daniel was our server and he was wonderful!

Found this place by accident, went there had a wonderful time food & service is is A+++ . Also catered from them for this thanksgiving due to a busy schedule every thing was amazing so much so we've decided to permanently incorporate their catering service for major holidays highly recommended!!!

I have so much to say about the service at this place. The only good thing they have is the atmosphere and the views but after that they have a lot to improve. The service is very slow and they don't even pay the necessary attention. If they are busy, at least put more people to provide attention so that customers don't get left halfway. I ordered a baked chicken with mashed potatoes (which was horrible) the mashed potatoes were very plain and tasteless, (in the end I had to order a new dish to eat which took me 40 minutes to receive) and even though the first dish was horrible I had to pay for it, in order to order another piña colada we had to wait a long time because we couldn't see the waiter anywhere or he didn't even come to our table on the way back and after being able to order it we had to wait for another 25 extra minutes to receive the drink. A disaster, we would not repeat this place again.

This restaurant was exceptional, from the valet to the host to our server. My family and I were extremely satisfied. The food and drinks were so delicious. We did go when there was a storm, so we had the restaurant to ourselves. But all in all. 10 out of 10!

Beautiful views and venue! The appetizers are really good but the rest of the food is mid. We had the spinach and goat cheese empanadas and they were so good. We came for salsa dancing which started at 8pm but no one was dancing so wasn’t sure if it happened or not. Would def be back just for vibes.

Sorry forgot to take pics of the inside. But I can say it's colorful, big spaced, beautiful inside, great atmosphere, music, even has outside seating with a bar outside as well as the inside. Service was great in my experience. People dance there and all... Great vibe.. I loved the food!!!
