Food- 5/5 Service- 4/5 Ambiance- 4/5 My trip here usually consists of tasty drinks and good food! If you go for brunch I highly recommend the oxtail deviled eggs. The oxtail is very flavorful and tender even when bought as a meal. The curry goat is delicious and the creamy potatoes are also delicious! The wings are great! The reason for the loss of a star is because the service is extremely slow. Every single time.Haha The ambiance is cool. The inside is small and cute. Would definitely recommend- 2 thumbs up read more

Flava II Restaurant & Lounge - Oxtail - Lounges Near Me - Canarsie, New York

BY FAR THE WORST EXPERIENCE! If you are looking for a nice place to celebrate, have dinner or go just for a drink. STAY FAR FROM Flava. My niece went there last night to celebrate an accomplishment. There were only 7 other customers there. It took 25 mins for the waitress to come and acknowledge she and her guest. They asked how big the burger was because it could be small sliders (a legitimate question), the waitress asked the bartender (maybe manager) and came back with, "Big enough to feed your belly". Very disrespectful to say this and even worse for the waitress to repeat it to A PAYING CUSTOMER (or anyone) who was nothing but respectful to her even after the DISRESPECT. Also, After taking only two sips of the drink, which was mostly whipped cream, she asked to exchange it for something else because it wasn't good. I was told that I had consumed too much of it for a return, even though whipped cream melts and turns into liquid. If you're looking for a restaurant where customers are belittled, disrespected, and treated as though they don't matter, this is the place to go. I was extremely disappointed with both the drink and the customer service. read more

Good vibe & DJ. A bit of a younger crowd but thankfully not over the top belligerent or obnoxious. Although there were the predictable twerkers, including head stand twerking, by the DJ booth / entrance. Passé..... Service took a little long, might need more staff on weekends. Good place to celebrate birthdays and other occasions. At least for those that want the cliche Instagram pictures and reels. We got searched at the door. It's an uneasy feeling but a sign of the times when hanging in certain neighborhoods. (Deep breath, YAK) It's better to be safe than sorry, so although I appreciate the half ass search (something is something). It was a reminder that we are too old to be attending venues where this even has to happen!! Drinks and hookah on point! Exactly the vibe most would want and expect when going out for some good music and solid cocktails. Did not taste the food but based on appearance we will undoubtedly return and try it next time. However, I will check out the grade to make sure it's up to code. Given other reviews that raised a flag, the grade is very important to us. We do not want to spend hard earned money on subpar service and food preparation. read more

I absolutely enjoyed Flava ll restaurant and lounge . I checked then out on a Saturday night with a good friend and I must say I was impressed . I didn't know what to expect . The environment is Caribbean base and the food was bussing . I had a seafood pasta and my friend girl had an oxtail dish . The drinks were reasonable and gave some kickback . The D.J on this night was rolling . There were two other girls sitting next to us and their were friendly and fun to be next too . The customer service was hospitable but also slow as if distraction took place in our server . The bust boy made sure our table was clean at all times . In addition, the crowd was mixed with different age ranges from mid 20s to 50s. One Flava ll did well was make sure you enjoyed the music . The DJ had you vibing and out your seat . I don't usually go out on a Saturday night but I will make an exception for another experience at Flava ll. read more

Good vibe. Great DJ. Good/decent food. I had a glass of moscato, seemed kind of watered down, I'm not sure. HORRIBLE customer service. I came with my partner on a Saturday night at 10pm. The young woman waiting our table, we had to CHASE HER DOWN; for the bill, some napkins and a straw we asked for at the very beginning of her waiting our table. She did not care. Come to find out, they get an automatic $10 tip for every table waited; this explains her lack of respect and professionalism. When we finally get ahold of her, she'd forgotten any requests. I can't imagine if I came here and had to wait for a table. She gave us such horrible customer service one of the men on the floor tended to us, numerous times, brought us our to-go bowls and removed our plates while she's nowhere to be found. read more

Flava II Bar Lounge is now a top favorite in Brooklyn! Right when you walk in, you're greeted by a vibrant mural of iconic artists like Biggie and Riri, setting a lively atmosphere. The DJ really knows how to keep the place jumping with great music. They offer awesome themed nights and a very inviting happy hour. The food is incredibly diverse and delicious, from seafood boil to oxtail Rasta pasta. The VIP section is perfect for birthdays or any celebration. Everything I tried, from the pasta to the cake and wings, was exceptional. Make sure to ask for Teesh when you visit--she's fantastic! read more

Worst customer service of all my years of life! The light skinned server service was below a 0. When I got to the establishment and was ready to place my order, it took her over an hour and a half to take my order. My family members that were there before me was waiting for their bill for the same amount of time I was waiting to place an order. A table across from us, left because she took too long to give them their bill. When it came time to close out my and the rest of my family bill, she gave us boxes and said she's leaving. No one came to give us a bill and take our money while we're at the table waiting and asking other employees for togo cups/etc for us to go as they were telling us it's time to go. As we get in the car to leave, now the light skinned server runs to my truck to collect payment as if we're deliberately trying to run out on the bill, when we stayed until we were hurried upstairs and out the door. First time in this establishment and it was the absolute worst! I never ordered my drinks with her because of her poor service, I went straight to the bar. The male bartender that made my drinks was the only fast and pleasant service I received throughout my time there. read more

Great service especially with Mimi, Dani and Damian who made our experience phenomenal. Great job guys on customer service. Didn't get the name of the chef, but food was top notch. I will definitely be revisiting Flava in the near future. read more

- My gf and I went here Tuesday at 8pm. It was empty with the exception of two tables (got busier afterwards). Security checked IDs and then we were seated immediately. That aside, service was on the slower side and not very attentive or friendly/interactive. We left here after 11pm. -GOOD FOOD. The seafood pizza was really good and I loved the fact that there were real chunks of lobster, salmon, and shrimp! The steamed snapper was really good too! Well seasoned just like I normally make it. The mashed potatoes were good. The stuffed shrimp was okay, wasn't too crazy about whatever sauce they put on it. The menu said that entrees are served with a side (your choice) and veggies, but there were no veggies served with the meals. The buffalo wings were a fail. The sauce was kind of tart and they tasted microwaved. -They have a really good selection of drinks. It was so hard trying to decide but the frozen coladas were good. We had it them with casamigo. Lychee margarita and the Canarsie was too sweet, had to send them back to get fixed. The lemon drop martini and Brooklyn bomb were good too. -They have a live DJ that plays a mix of pretty much everything, reggae, soca, R&B, soul etc. It was a really good vibe everyone was dancing in their chairs lol read more

The frozen drink I got was okay could of had more alcohol in it, the calamari was fresh, and the pasta with the jerk chicken was good as well. The dj was playing a good range of music. The service was good even though I asked for hookah and never received it. read more

Everything needs improving. Bad customer service, food takes forever... Rude promoter. If you are looking to support an unbiased vendor that equitably serves their commuity members without partiality and prejudice this establishment is NOT the place for you. My saftey was threatened by their promoter and he issued phyical threats against me and nothing was done by the vendor except for banning the paying customer. I was also not refunded after paying but not allowed access into the venue by security. Cash app payment was made to: Tawana and photo of declined refund request are attached as well as video of entry being denied after paying. read more

I can't be the only one who thinks Canarsie needs more entertainment!! Luckily, there's @flava2lounge, a Caribbean restaurant and lounge, located on Ave D. For food and drinks, we ordered: Crab Cakes Henny Punch Fish Bowl Stuffed Shrimp w/ Mashed Potatoes & Mixed Vegetables Asian Fusion Wings Calamari Canarsie Fish Bowl Stuffed Salmon w/ Mashed Potatoes & Mixed Vegetables Food, drinks, music and vibes were on point! Service was great. Plus I heard they get lit on the weekends read more

The Asian Fusion wings and Stuffed Shrimp were chef's kiss. The rum punch was also great. They played really good music too. We sat at the bar. Service was pretty good, I will say the waitress seemed like she was tired and didn't want to be there but she never came off rude. Made sure we had drinks and made those rum punches very strong for us which we liked. Would definitely go back there to try more food. read more

The only part that was good was the music Unfortunately, our server was the only one at the time and to get one salad took 45 minutes. We waited a long time for another one. We had the calamari, which was nice. My honest review. They need more servers and better management. Have your servers try different than items so they can recommend different items for guest to try. read more

This was my first time coming here. Sunday night is a great night to come from what I see. The vibe is cool the DJ is great. He played a mixture of all type of music kept everybody engaged. The hookah was good they only take cash for the hookah like most spots. I didn't eat but friends had the salmon which they loved. The only reason I am taking a star away is because our waitress was really slow. It was time we didn't see her for at least 30 minutes. She was doing multiple things at once. I am hoping they was short staffed that night. I would come back again to try the food. Overall great spot. read more

It was what I expected when I saw it from outside. Pretty simple restaurant bar lounge vibe. The waitress that I had was green and truthfully I only ate them mac and cheese and high around punch but that was all I needed. I feel like the punch was made perfection and the mac and cheese was too. I got involved with the Mac as says it came out and so I don't have a big four picture but my friend that I was with and I both agreed that it's a must order. When going. Next time I'll go there with more of an empty stomach to try more options. read more

Firstly, the food was incredible. I loved everything that i ate. My husband ate the mango jerk chicken, he raved about it all the way home. They had great music. The price was worth the money because they gave you a good portion of food. The drink was really strong, exactly how you see in the picture. It's exactly how it was left, it wasn't drinkable. But some people may like that, if you're looking to get lit. Cons: Service wasn't the best. She forgot my drink order and i had to remind her. The food took entirely wayyyy to long to come out. They add gratuity to every check which i wish they told us, but when my husband asked whether or not she got the tip. She said no that she has to share the tip with everyone. And that doesn't seem right, so we just left her something on top of what was already added to the check. read more

A friend and I decided to have dinner on Monday night at a local restaurant that we had never been to. So we decided to go into Flava II bar and grill and check it out. The seating was a little weird but we found ourselves a comfortable table and sat down. I decided to have the rum punch and my friend had mojito. I had the Hennessy wings which they were so good and the fries were cooked just the way I like them. My friend had a ceasar salad, which she stated was very good. The music was nice as they had a live dj and the service was ok as well. I would recommend read more

My husband and I were there for the first time last week and the service was good. The mango and passionfruit margaritas were so good. Food was a 10/10. We had the stuff salmon with creamy mashed potatoes and jerk chicken with rice and peas. Very delicious! What separated our service from good and great was the wait time for our food. It look 35-40 mins to come out and there were only 2 other tables in the entire establishment occupied. read more

So we decided to come here for Valentine's Day we saw they had a pre-fixed menu. We know when pre-fixed menu's are involved that means a little bit of options. But we still wanted to give them a chance and try it out. First we noticed the menu it was cute decorated for Valentine's Day loved that. Then we sat down at our table, it was a little crowded but not bad. So we noticed that the pre fixed menu came with champagne or wine I choose champagne only because I love mimosas i asked the waiter if she would be willing to put in some orange juice for me at first she said no but then when she came back she added the orange juice I was excited. The champagne was dry I'm not really a dry try of person but it was included and it didn't taste entirely bad so I stuck with it. Had 4 more after that didn't even taste the bitterness anymore. Then we placed our food order I ordered the lobster ravioli with shrimp and crab meat sauce. When the food came out it looked delicious I was ready to devour my food because I was so hungry but when I dug in my food was completely cold. I made a face and the waitress noticed asked what was wrong I told her she took background food immediately. When she brought it back I'm thinking yup finally gonna be able to enjoy this food. NOPE food was still cold at this time I just left it alone I asked for a to go tray and I said I'll heat it at home probably. I will say when I got home and I heated it up myself omg it was delicious everything I imagined I felt all fuzzy inside because it was so good I get super excited when my food speaks to me. My boyfriend had the filet mignon he said it was perfect for him and his food was hot so he enjoyed his dish. The menu also came with fixed appetizers we had crab cakes with avoilli sauce and beef empanadas they were just as delicious and we ordered 2 drinks not o the menu they were pretty decent not strong enough for my liking but if you like sweet drinks this is definitely for you. The menu also came with dessert it wasn't what was on the menu so I didn't like that as well, and the dessert they do give wasn't tasty Overall we had a good pretty good experience aside from my food being cold twice, and them not giving the dessert they stated on the menu I would definitely go back anytime my food is that good you will always get me again. But next time we are going to try out the regular menu. read more

I came here on Mother's Day with my sister from Jersey . WORST experience ever! First of all we paid $20 each to get inside of a restaurant to eat, we realized it wasn't packed and got very excited to eat. That was at 11:14pm. Then we were seated. 35mins of precious patience time pass by and nothing. I got up and reached out to the woman who we paid to get inside the establishment. Then a kind waiter saw us just sitting there, came over took our order and sent over someone around 11:55. Our bill came up to $135 which I feel needed to be accommodated due to the wait and inconvenience of customers. I didn't make a complaint, but I will never return and I will be passing this onto all my friends and family. Honestly wish I could give 0 stars read more

This restaurant reminds me of Footprints but with more space. Came here for a bday dinner. Music was nice and pleasant when we got there at 8pm. We were seated quickly but our full party wasn't there yet. By the time everyone came and finally decided what to order it was 9:30. We had 12 ppl at our table. Around 10pm the DJ comes and the music is so loud it feels like I'm gonna go deaf. Can't really hear each other when we speak. I guess at 10 it becomes more a party scene. We get our drinks and water and we wait. 10:30 pass, 11:00 pass now it 11:30. Food comes out but not everyone gets their food. About 3 or 4 ladies haven't received what they ordered. We think that the rest will come out and it never does. Now it's midnight and they still haven't brought out the food. I gave it 3 stars because the food that did come out was good. The drinks were good. The people working were all polite. This place has potential. Maybe it was just a busy night and not enough cooks. Please note there is a $50.00 cake charge. Would I try it again? Yes. Maybe around late afternoon/ evening time. read more

I visited this restaurant in December and had such a horrible experience that we walked out and left. The hostess had a very poor attitude and looked extremely agitated. Although they were many empty seats in the front, she tried to sit us in the back near the restroom. When we asked for a seat closer to the front... they planted a table down on the walkway near the Xmas tree for us to sit. So now every time a server walks past our table is bumped. The music was extremely too loud, there's young guys in the very front dancing and jumping around when you walk in. The biggest disgust is coming in and getting searched and pat down by someone that looks like a man. I physically jumped back when she started touching me before she then says she's a woman. They also have a Grade Pending on the inside door hidden behind a plant. Grade Pending means they failed the Health Department Inspection... which means this is not a clean or safe environment to consume food. This restaurant was truly a disappointment. read more

Tried this spot on a whim last Friday and it was great. It is a hidden quiet spot. The happy hour deal is amazing, and the rum punch is strong. I got the seafood pizza, and my boyfriend got the stuffed salmon and both were tasty. To top it off the staff was friendly and attentive. I ended up going back on the Sunday based on my experience and got the salmon pasta. Again... DELICIOUS! I will be a regular. read more

food was salt and they overcharge me been here since 9pm and have to wait a hour on the food customer service is a 0 for me!

Worse experience, staff and owner beyond disrespectful. First time here and literally called the police because I order hookah and a drink, went to the bathroom came out and all my stuff was gone. Went to the bartender and explained I went to the bathroom where's the stuff I paid for where she proceeds to roll her eyes and make me a new drink. When I ask what's the problem I did not receive answers. Now the hookah I was told by the manager/owner that the person in charge of the hookah isn't here. I said ok let me get that persons information or let me know when I could come back for me refund. He hands me $10 and says that's all I'm going to get he doesn't care. Would never suggest this place and definitely will never be back. Complete trash. P.S. Foods not good here so don't even waste your time. read more
