You are right! Harlem Grill is a “hot ass mess”. And because I can be dense, it took me four visits to realize this. I have fallen in love with “concept” but not the end result. Monday night is fabulous as far as entertainment. That’s blues night featuring Acantha. She is riveting to watch, at least the first two times. (Kind of like if Ashanti sang like Tina Turner with a little bit of Diana Ross as Billie Holiday but not Billie Holiday). She is somewhat convincing though…she gives off a very “tragic” vibe. I just kept thinking “I hope someone doesn’t expose her to drugs”. Check her out and you’ll know what I mean. The service is inattentive at best…they act as if their clientele should be impressed even though the service and staff are unimpressive. The owner West doesn’t have much of a presence and doesn’t appear to be obsessive about taking this place to the next level. Fuss over your “random” customers a little, make them feel like this is an expereience. Present your place as if it is fabulous!
It’s all a game right?

Bottom line: Too much unrealized potential. Someone needs to polish this diamond!
