I tried to be objective, but Jimmy's Uptown just isn't worth the hype. I went with friends for a comedy show that was being held in the upstairs lounge. The hostess was far from friendly about when the lounge would open and when it finally did (20 min late) they didn't have sufficient change (though there are two bars and a full service restaurant) for the entrance fee. The food was terrible, and way over priced. Our ""spicy"" chicken wings and ""seasoned"" curly fries had ABSOLUTELY NO seasonings at all! And let's not even talk about the shrimp hushpuppies....
The only redeeming quality: our waitress was very nice...and should have been with the 18% gratuity automatically included on all checks.
There are much better ""no name"" places to eat in Harlem. I'd stick with those.
Pros: Nice ambience
Cons: Overpriced, Poor Quality food
