Questan’s, which just opened last summer… is jumpin! Finally dined there last Monday night and had a great time. There is more going on than meets the eye if you are just walking by the front of the place. As you come in on your right there is a takeout section. Since they are conveniently opened until 2 and 3am throughout the week this is good to have. 
See Express menu they have a large Seafood selection for takeout. Through the main entrance after walking down a short hall you approach tables on the left, 
a very large full bar on the right and a DJ booth elevated on the back wall. There is a live DJ every night. The bar has two flat screen TV’s overhead. Great if a game is on and you want to watch it muted while listening to tunes and talking with friends. It was a little chaotic the night I was there which is a good thing for a Monday night. The weekends must get packed. We sat at the corner table and had drinks and dinner. Good drinks and generously poured. You could easily just go there to chill at the bar with an appetizer or two if all the tables are full. To begin with we enjoyed the Jalapeno Cornbread. Then for starters had the Fried Calamari, Lobster & Shrimp Spring Rolls & the Lobster Bisque soup. All were good but the Lobster & Shrimp Spring Rolls were phenomenal. Dinner was very good. Only two of us had entrees the Grilled Shrimp with Spinach & the Broiled Scallops with Homemade French Fries. Both the Shrimp and Scallops were fresh and delicious and the Homemade French Fries were perfect. Its a very large menu to choose from especially considering the size of the space. Im heading back again to try something different next week. Doris Wade (Dee), the owner, wasn’t there the night I was but the charming Mekkie, (bartender/hostess/waitress) waited on us and the service was excellent. DJ Huggie was spinning a great selection of HipHop and R&B keeping the vibe good. it’s one of those spots that when your finished eating dinner you want to stay longer and just hang out. Good crowd, good food, good music and good drinks. Dee mentioned to me that she is working out a House Music night for either Thursday or Sunday nights in the near future. Stay tuned I’ll keep you posted when it’s definite.
Im happy to see how successful Questan’s is. The front of the Restaurant says “Live, love & laugh” with a message like that how can you not be successful. Definitely left me wanting to go back for more. Another great addition to Harlem.
