But beyond the food, they were quick and accommodating. I actually ordered over an app -They called me when my food was ready for pick up and that's when I realized I mistakenly hit 'Pick Up' rather than 'Delivery'. The guy over the phone immediately said it was no problem and sent someone out. I got my food within 15 minutes of that call. Not to mention the delivery guy came up 4 flights of stairs with a cast on his foot. Will definitely be reordering!

They won me over with the look of their drinks. I ordered some white sangria which was so good and SO strong. It was a Saturday, so their drinks are $8 from 11-4 which is such an amazing deal. I also got stew chicken which was so tender and flavorful, with Mac and cheese and broccoli ($15) . It was a hearty meal that really satisfied everyone. The staff was also incredibly kind. It felt like such a community in there.

After getting back from being out of town celebrating my birthday, I wanted Caribbean cuisine. Thanks to Yelp, I found this gem of a restaurant. First, the place is huge. This is a place for a party. Greeted by Amantha, a vibrant young lady, was a plus. Our visit was on a Monday night, when they have an all-day happy hour. Be careful of their cocktails because when they say "boozy," they mean it. I let Amantha make all the suggestions for us because, hey, if she doesn't know what's good, who does? I always want fish, so she suggested the Snapper, and noted that it would be a 35-minute wait because "everything" is made fresh. Gordon Ramsay would be thrilled. So, we ordered appetizers. Rose's Shrimp Empanadas were delicious. The shrimp were succulent and not overcooked. The Mini Gold Delights, plantain cups filled with Tassot (fried goat) and topped with pikitz (spicy slaw), a must-have!! Both served with their Golden Sauce, a savory mustardy sauce similar to a Dijon vinaigrette. Both of these were washed down with Gen Bagay cocktails (we had two). On to the main courses. I ordered the Brooklyn Red Snapper stew, with white rice and a black bean sauce. The Snapper was spectacular. It was enough for three people. It was heavier in texture than Asian steamed fish, and yet lighter than the cousin Jamaican Escovitch Fried Red Snapper. But baby, talk about flavor. My partner ordered the Blue Goat, a savory, unctuous dish with a rich gravy, served with Djon- Djon, a native rice dish of Haiti, made with black mushrooms, a part of the cooking process, leaving an umami-packed punch of flavor. My man said that this was the best rice he had ever eaten! , If you are not used to eating Haitian cuisine, have Amantha show you how to eat it. There is actually a ritual to blending these flavors, which made a difference. We had leftovers, but the best part is that the food was even better the next day!!! Not many restaurants can say that. They celebrated my birthday, which extended my celebration. Thank you, Golden Blue Restaurant. I will be back, and my out-of-state cousins want to come too. Now I know why, during our visit, many folks were coming in for takeout or Uber Eats! I will definitely be back!

The food did take a while and we were told that because everything is fresh and you can tell that it was prepared fresh. I didn't mind the wait because we had drinks with our meal and that was good as well. It's a family owned spot and I love spots like this because I like to see when everyone in the family is invested, especially the younger generations.

The steak was presented nice but they gave 2 squeezes of mashed potatoes and tasted of bacon grease. The sopes were 6/10, steak tacos 7/10. Lobster was ok. The watermelon margarita was on the money, 10/10. Our waiter was not welcoming at all, very apathetic, most of the service was like this, some were standing around. The person who brought us our food was very nice and came back regularly to get our plates. The DJ was awesome though, was playing some great tunes back to back, he felt like working that day, my favorite part. It's clean, the bathrooms were very clean. Personally won't come back due to service and pricing.

For many years, the family and I have enjoyed Ruby's whenever we visited Coney Island. Today…read morehowever was extremely disappointing. To be fair, the staff were great, love the ambiance especially at the bar with the signs and especially the pictures of old Coney Island. Our beers were especially refreshing, nice and chilled. But the disappointment came from the food we ordered. Waffle fries and fish n chips. Sad to say that for what was paid, the quality was not good at all. The fish and chips and the waffle fries had been extremely overcooked and the taste of old vegetable oil was present. Biting into the fish there was more of old grease than fish flavor. Chips and fries are supposed to be crispy, not crunchy. First time I ever experienced this here. For now the rating stays and I would only recommend the drinks at the bar but not the food until I can see better quality and improvement when I get to visit again. Sorry guys, gotta do better!

The oxtail itself was pretty delicious, but the sauce was a little overwhelming for me--it almost gave a Thousand Island-type vibe, and I think less sauce would've let the oxtail shine more. The jerk chicken though?! Definitely my favorite. It was flavorful and delicious, and if I came back I'd probably skip the salmon and just get the jerk chicken dinner. The sweet chili salmon was okay, but it had an interesting taste that wasn't really for me. The margarita was pretty standard. Service was good and we never felt like we were bothering anyone, even coming in later. The space definitely gives more sports bar than restaurant since there are TVs EVERYWHERE So if you're coming for a date where you really want to talk and connect, or have a serious conversation, I probably wouldn't choose here because there's a lot going on visually. BUT the music was amazinggg! If you love Soca, reggae, and Caribbean vibes, you'll probably enjoy yourself. The DJ that night was really good We did notice a few house flies, which were a little distracting, but it's summertime and we were sitting somewhat close to the door, so I wasn't completely surprised. It's also not a huge space, so I could definitely see it getting packed quickly on a Friday or Saturday night, especially with a good DJ. Overall: Food: 7/10 Drinks: 7/10 Vibe: Come for the music + Caribbean energy Would I return? Yes--but I'm getting that jerk chicken next time!
