Bar tender, hostess, and servers were all so friendly. Such a good vibe from the team. The shrimp and avocado tostones are sooooo good. Ordered chicken and waffles with the banana fosters topping in the side. I received wings instead of regular friend chicken. Chicken tasted slightly of stale oil but the waffles were good. I was told the grand butcher boy burger was good. I'd come back solely for the vibes, service and bottomless. Probably not the wings.

I enjoyed a "Cousins" get together yesterday at Greyz Bistro. The entire experience was so…read moresatisfying. Greyz is a small restaurant so you should make a reservation. The chef has created a fusion of foods and flavors that was extremely pleasing to my palate. When we were there the restaurant was almost full so we came with our patience and it was worth it. The server, unfortunately we never got his name, was very attentive, friendly with a slick sense of humor and all of his effort was greatly appreciated. Although we ordered separately, we treated the experience like a family style meal, tasting almost everything on the table. Known for the oxtail ravioli, you'll do yourself a disservice if you don't try it! They are so deliciously flavorful! I cleaned that plate! The shrimp scampi with angel hair pasta was buttery and smooth and the shrimp were huge. I didn't taste the mac and cheese, due to allergies, but my cousins loved it. The fried rice was very flavorful and the fried rice with oxtail pieces was beyond comparison. One cousin had the whole snapper which she enjoyed. This came with callaloo (very tasty) and plantains that were perfectly sweet and impeccably cooked without a trace of oil being used. Another cousin had the whole jerk hen that she enjoyed. It was served with bok choy and a plantain pancake underneath. The bok choy made my mouth happy! The only thing that missed the mark, in comparison, was the honey barbecue wings. They were average and did not compare to the excellence applied to the creation of the rest of the dishes. For dessert, we had the molten lava cake, with 4 spoons and it was light yet quite flavorful, especially with the rum-craisin ice cream in the dish. Finally, don't sleep on the 'Sidecar' drink, which was delicious and strong. Greyz is a little pricey and the prices honor the experience and skill of Chef Cheese. He has done the "damn thing" with these dishes! We're DEFINITELY going back! We have 2 more cousins to introduce Greyz to!

It's a fairly quaint place with most of the seating in the backyard, which is covered. Service: it was on the slow side and the only real negative of the experience. After sitting for about 5-10 minutes, a young lady came over and told us our server would be with us shortly. After another 10 or so minutes, our server made his way to the table, said he would be our server and would be back to take our order. I had to stop him and ask his name, Deshaun E. I'll give them a pass because most tables were taken and I only saw like 3 servers, so maybe they were short staffed. Drinks: my friend had the rum punch and I had the sorrel mimosa. She enjoyed her rum punch and ordered another round. I also enjoyed my mimosa, the sorrel flavor was tasty, but I opted to sample some other flavors instead of sticking to it. I also had the passion fruit and the pineapple/guava combo flavors- combo flavored recommended by Deshaun and it didn't disappoint. Food: my friend had the crispy "jerk" wings (I put jerk in parentheses cuz nothing about it gave jerk- not the look or flavor). We asked the waiter to ensure we didn't get the wrong kind but they said it was indeed the jerk, they did taste good though. I had the mussels in white wine sauce which was SO GOOD! It was a creamy white wine sauce, like with heavy cream or coconut milk, just yummy! For entrees she got the oxtail with rice and peas and fried plantain and I had the curry goat with mashed potatoes and steamed cabbage. Both entrees were very good and flavorful, it definitely gave home cooked meal from mom/grandma. The side order of jerk pork was okay. The flavor was pretty good but it appears they used pork chops instead of the usual cut of pork that's usually used to make jerk pork. I like my jerk pork with a piece of bone and piece of fat, like all that aids in the flavor. All in all it was a pretty good experience and I would definitely go back and recommend here.

I lucked out and went on bingo night , (a Thursday night) and it became a fun and interactive experience with food. The musical bingo made the place different.

I enjoyed every meal I cannot even decide which one was the best. the service was great as well . My server was attentive and did not steer me in the wrong direction. I can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu.

We got a server that was DRY and weird behaving. She spoke slow, she looked down when speaking to you, she was a very awkward young lady. That was my very 1st thought and it got worse as time passed. We ordered drinks, they were ok. We ordered short ribs, OUT OF STOCK, ordered jerk chicken white, OUT OF STOCK: IMMEDIATELY IRRITATED ME! I then ordered oxtails, greens and yams and fried ribs. We also got fried fish, which was whiting and grits. Im paying the girl says dont leave a tip because I wont get it. SMH, we left a cash $10 tip, but on the card I was leaving 15% which was like $15 something. I hate places like this! Place was recommended by a family member. I wouldn't return. Drinks were a 3.5 Oxtail dinner 3 Fish and grits 2 and that was the fish only, it was really good.

I think there was only one other party in there. It's a small and cozy spot with beautiful and modern decor. Prices are reasonable too and match the portion sizes. The owner Hollis greeted and seated us. She was also our server/bartender. She was very pleasant and welcoming and talked and joked with us all night. She said on Thursdays they have all day happy hour: $8 Long Islands and margaritas +2 for flavors, $1.50 wings and oysters, $4 beer, and $8 wine). They also have $20 hookah and beer and wine/shots combo specials. Drinks: I had the passion fruit and guava margaritas and my friend had the Long Island. We both enjoyed our drinks and got 3 rounds a piece. The passion fruit flavor is much better than the guava tho, so I switched back. Food: we had the wings and oysters to start. The wings were really good and came with a house special sauce. The oysters were nice and fresh. For entrees with both had the oxtail fried rice. I originally ordered the chicken, but was given oxtail instead, but I chose to keep it. The oxtail was seasoned and tender and the rice was nice and flavorful. Would def recommend and will definitely be back.

Service was fairly quick here. Everything we ordered came quick. As for the restaurant itself, it was a fun establishment. There was music playing and it created a fun atmosphere. Phenomenal date night location. However I do wish they could turn it down a little bit. I had to speak over the music to chat with my friend. The location is also great for a date night. Especially for an event at the Barclays. As for the food. My friend was really impressed and loved it. I'll admit, I wasn't as impressed but I still loved the food. My only complaint was portion size. I've had this same plate from other restaurants that offered a bigger portion at the same price. The ox tails came out great at least. The meat fell right off the bone. The gravy was superb. Everything else on the plate was delicious as well. Again, my only complaint is portion size. That said, I would absolutely come back here again. There's some things on menu that I have my eye on. While I enjoyed the ox tails, I think I'd get it from somewhere else. Although I wouldn't be against coming back for seconds.

Island Shack has to be understood in context to appreciate what's going on here…read more Let me get the bad news out first. Service is slow. It appears the husband is manning the bar, while taking orders, serving, and busing the table at the front of the restaurant. The wife is in the kitchen and comes out to the bar from time to time. There may be a few other people working here, but understand tings take time. There is one toilet, clean as it may be to the back right behind pocket door that failed to flush while I was there. They took care of the issue, but it's one more thing that may annoy a person. They have a DJ on weekend nights and that may well suit the context and energy of the small triangle park in front of the restaurant quite well. If you're not accustomed to that kind of atmosphere, you may be turned off, but it might be the mood and energy you're seeking. If you can focus on the food, that is where you will be rewarded. I ordered the curry shrimp and it was delicious. The rice was cooked perfectly and the shrimp was not overcooked. The chef was paying close attention to cooking times and the curry sauce was right on point. The veggies were also not overcooked. In the midst of all that was going on that Saturday night, the DJing, the number of people in the busy little restaurant, the kitchen was together and turning out great food at a reasonable price in the low twenties, albeit with some delay in producing the same. Island Shack is very popular with the locals here. You can order a drink, sit in the small park, and enjoy great conversation as many people do here. I took my beer and curry shrimp outside as well and enjoyed the people in the small park. It's a vibe and you can catch it here as many people do. You have to understand Island Shack in context to appreciate it fully, especially when the weather is cooperative. 3.6 stars

Looking for a carnival themed island vibe with great cocktails and authentic Caribbean cuisine,…read morecome to Savannah Spiced located in Brooklyn Here's what we had Drinks Sorrel Punch - The Sorrel Punch is a smooth, creamy cocktail that puts a Caribbean twist on the classic frozen piña colada. Instead of pineapple, it features the bold, tangy flavor of sorrel. Blended with coconut cream and rum, it's rich, refreshing, and full of island flavor. Def a fave and it tastes as good as it looks! Sexy lady - The Sexy Lady is a light but strong fruity cocktail that mixes the fresh taste similar to a lychee martini with the sweet, floral flavor of elderflower and juicy tropical fruits. It's smooth, fun, and a little flirty. We enjoyed this so much that we found ourselves guessing the ingredients! Sweet chili wings and Oreo waffle- The waffle batter was rich and delicious, with that classic cookies-and-cream taste shining through. I just wish it had been a bit crispier and more golden brown--that's my personal preference. Still, the flavor was on point. The wings were the real star perfectly cooked with a sweet, tangy, and spicy glaze that hit all the right notes. Altogether, it was a fun and tasty twist on sweet and savory. Chicken and Birthday Cake Waffle- The waffle had a sweet, cake-like taste with colorful sprinkles mixed in, and the batter was really tasty. I do wish it had been a bit crispier and more browned to give it that perfect texture, but the flavor made up for it. The fried chicken on top was juicy and well-seasoned, adding a savory balance to the sweet waffle. Overall, it was a creative and satisfying take on a classic sweet-and-savory combo. Appetizer Jerk wings- Hands down the favorite of the meal. They were packed with bold flavor--spicy, savory, and just the right amount of heat. The seasoning was spot on and the wings were cooked to the perfect texture. Every bite was juicy, flavorful, and left you wanting more. A true standout. We also can't forget the special sauce on the side--creamy and slightly sweet, it paired nicely with the wings and helped balance the heat. That said, the wings were so flavorful on their own, they didn't even need it. Entrees The Calypso Shrimp- Was beautifully presented as a standout dish. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, juicy, and coated in a sweet and spicy secret sauce that had just the right kick paired with creamy garlic mashed potatoes. It wasn't a fave but the presentation made up for it! Oxtail Low Mein - Beautifully plated in an abstract bowl. The Oxtail Lo Mein was a flavorful fusion dish that delivered more heat than I expected--but in a good way. The noodles were coated in a rich, savory brown sauce, and the oxtail was incredibly tender, falling off the bone. Each bite was packed with bold flavors, especially the deep notes of ginger and soy. The spice gave it an extra kick, making it a comforting yet exciting twist on classic lo mein.

To demonstrate the high level of attentiveness from the staff, we never announced that we were celebrating a birthday, but they came out with a slice of yummy cheesecake (and I don't like cheesecake) for my baby girl.
