    Chicken Patty
    Rafael B.

    I had a lot to say. First i will start with the positive. Really beautiful inside. Perfect setting for a date night, good music and honestly some good Jamaican food. First negative , after placing our drink order i overhear 2 female guest ask for happy hr menu? I never received a happy hr menu nor told about any specials. Ordered 2 $17 drinks and both were on the happy hr menu for $10. Not a big deal but who doesn't love a good happy hr $? Second negative, bill comes and of course i had to correct the bill because i was getting charged for the full priced drinks when in fact i ordered the drinks (luckily) that were on special. Then the waiter looks at me opening my INKIND app and immediately tells me "oh, we are not excepting Inkind anymore , i was told by the back"? lol. So you're promoting on INKIND with a special but refuses to honor the advertised deal? Big . Would be 5 stars but just had a bad experience , too bad because the food is really good.

    Excellent service, food, beats and location. Blink and you'll miss the smallest indicator you're at the right joint. Mangrove hits as soon as you walk in, with a dark moody inviting atmosphere, plush plants and a very unique menu, that includes Curry Oxtail. Nothing went wrong here, a great bar libations that had me ordering one after the other and wonderful bartenders that had our group laughing the night through.

    I absolutely loved the vibes here. The live DJ on a Friday night made for an upbeat dining experience. Service was friendly, and the low lit atmosphere was very nice. On to the food. I was pleased with everything I tasted, some items were better than others, but all elements combined, I would surely return! I only wished the had a traditional curry chicken platter with beans, rice, and cabbage without having to get everything a la carte

    The drinks were super delicious and the music was awesome! It felt amazing to sing to Early 2000s in mid 2000s R&B with your friends. I can't wait to go back.

    We were a party of four with no reservation on a Saturday night and waited about 20 minutes at the bar for a table to open up. The restaurant is small and every table was taken, but they still managed to accommodate us. Service was good, though a bit on the slow side. The food, however, was excellent! We ordered jerk wings, jerk skewers, fries, plantains, and curry oxtails. The jerk was perfectly spicy and did not disappoint. A live DJ played a great mix of Caribbean music, Afrobeats, and R&B. The dim lighting created an intimate atmosphere, while the music added a fun, lively vibe. It's definitely a great spot for date night or an evening out with friends. Highly recommend and I'll definitely be back!

    Such a vibe! My first visit to this small, intimate Jamaican restaurant in downtown Miami was for a Friday night date, and it was perfect. The dim lighting set a cozy mood, with a DJ playing solid music all night. We ordered the jerk chicken wings, festival, rice and peas, plantain, chicken patty, and mac and cheese. Everything was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The drinks were strong and soooo good, too. Service was great. They were busy but our waiter was still very attentive. Came back during my birthday month and had another amazing time! This visit, I tried the fried snapper, and it was absolutely delicious. It was spicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere was just as great, with good music, tasty drinks, and friendly service. They even surprised me with a celebratory glass of prosecco, which made the night feel extra special. This place has officially become one of my favorite spots in downtown Miami. Can't wait for visit number three!

    Mangrove is a cozy little Jamaican spot in Miami that's absolutely worth trying. The space is small but beautifully decorated, giving it a warm, welcoming vibe. The drinks were great, and the food didn't disappoint, everything we had was flavorful and well done. If you're looking for good Jamaican food in an intimate setting, with great customer service Mangrove is the place.

    Fun vibe. On Thursday's they have a live reggae night. We got there earlier for the food and the music was a little intense for one person on my table, and I have to say the management responded very graciously to moderate the sound. Really appreciated that. Do expect some really nice music, I believe it turns into a club type thing later in the night. Personally, I gravitate here more for the food. Really love their shrimp salad. Roti is quality. Flavors and punchy and bright with the spice you'd expect from the islands. Really quality place they're working on. Wish them a lot of success. I recommend and will be back!

    What a gem Mangrove is. After reading a ton of rave reviews I knew I had to come here. Stopped by on a. Wednesday night, not busy at all and we were seated right away. It's absolutely gorgeous inside I love the thoughtful artwork and the lighting creates a very intimate vibe. It's a perfect spot for a date. There's a small bar with seating as well. The menu isn't too large but I'm sure there's something for everyone. We started with a beef patty, the lobster Mac and the jerk wings. Everything was so good I'm struggling to identify which I loved the most but the Mac is top tier. I know Jamaican Mac and cheese isn't known for being the best but WOW, chef is back in the kitchen throwing down. The wings fall off the bone tender and the sauce is so good I would buy it by the bottle. For entrees we ordered the Rasta pasta with chicken and the oxtail curry with jerk fried rice. I've never had order envy but the jerk pasta my goodness. It's a flavor explosion. I'll be dreaming about it. The oxtail curry was good but unfortunately couldn't compare to the pasta. This is one of those places you absolutely have to try.

    Curry chickpea, sweet chili cauliflower and vegan Rasta pasta.

    My friends and I went on a Thursday night and it was such a good vibe. The ambiance was laid back yet trendy with great service. The food is awesome. My friend had the lamb chops and enjoyed every bite. I ate all the plant based options on the menu and even requested curry chickpeas to go with my roti. When you're vegan you have to speak up and see what can be done. I met with the chef and he said he will have plant based jerk chicken on the menu for me next week! It only makes sense since they offer it at the JRK restaurant which they own as well. The vegan rasta pasta is hands down my favorite and I can't wait to try it next week when it's topped with jerk chicken. This will be my 4th consecutive Thursday at this restaurant and I'm not ashamed of it because it's giving grown and sexy with great eats. What else can you ask for? Please try the red red wine drink. It's made with sorrel and Jamaican white rum, #IYKYK

    Everything was immaculate. The service, decor, moody vibes, delicious food and drinks. It was so cool and we just happened to come in randomly. FYI, they have happy hour. Does not disappoint. Our main server Wensley gave great recommendations and went the extra mile with packing out to go/leftovers. Gave us extra sauce and utensils. The other servers were so kind and just great energy. For drinks we ordered Is This Love (soo yummy, a little sweet). For food, our favorite was the yucca fries. Favorite fries I've ever had. Ordered extra order. Also on HH menu. More food- coconut rice & peas, rasta pasta, sweet chili cauliflower, and rough gal wings. I want to come back & try more food, dessert. Hear the DJ at the booth. Just a vibeyy spot.

    Amazing vibes, delicious food - the perfect spot for a date night in a tropical cool lounge setting and attentive service. Ordered the red red wine, which is a delicious sorrel beverage - not too sweet and has a ginger garnish. Also ordered the hot stepper - the take on a delish spicy marg. The chicken roti is tasty and comes with the roti skin on the side. But if you want a curry dish, go for the oxtail - it s the same yellow curry but a totally different flavor than the chicken. The jerk wings make a great app, and the beef patty is super flaky. Make your reso, you won't regret coming here.

    Traditional plate
    ronald m.

    WHAT A VIBE!!! This is an excellent choice for a date night. The music, the service, the food, all elite. We tried their boom boom bowl with chicken, some yuza, and the traditional plate. The jerk chicken was fantastic with just the right amount of spice. The boom boom bowl was hearty with lots of veggies and perfectly cooked rice and chicken. I'll say it again, WHAT A VIBE!!!! This place was amazing! A must try if you're in the Miami area.

The speakeasy atmosphere is outstanding--walking through the iconic red phone booth feels like stepping into another era, only with much better bourbon. Victoria was an absolute rockstar. She took some fantastic photos of our group (which is no small feat after a couple of perfectly made Manhattans), anticipated everything we needed, and somehow managed to make us feel like regulars on our first visit. Speaking of Manhattans... they're exactly the way we like them: balanced, boozy, and dangerously easy to order "just one more." Pair that with a great cigar, comfortable seating, and an atmosphere that somehow feels both upscale and relaxed, and you've got one of the best spots in Miami to unwind. We came for a drink. We stayed for the cigars. We left wondering if we should install a red phone booth at home. We'll definitely be back--and hopefully Victoria will still be there to remind us that "one more Manhattan" is always a questionable life decision.

Just try anything or ask.to be surprised. Remy was our server and he is freaking awesome and has skills. He helped us choose our cocktails cause everything was sounding like a vibe. The food options sound delish and the sliders and pizza seemed to be a hit as we saw that mostly. We were here for drinks though and we stuck to it. Only down fall for us is that we aren't cigar smokers, so the room was filled with it as we didn't know its a cigar lounge as well, but to each his own. Come drink eat and ber merry!

What surprised me was the excellent service, from start to finish. I arrived early and had a drink at the bar, served by a gorgeous, knowledgeable and polite bartender. As it was early, I probably paid attention to the others at the bar more than I would normally, and it was a very colorful, diverse mix. Beautiful people dressed to the nines, a few couples and a few who were obviously tourists. Great start! The highlights included the dumplings, truffle fries and Snapper. I am a French fry purist, but these changed my mind! I would skip the tuna with caviar over rice appetizer. This one hurt as it was highly recommended by our server. The proportion is just wrong. The mushrooms as a main side were also rather pedestrian. I know we had multiple desserts, but I can't remember them. A big plus for me is that we were rooftop, but it is fully enclosed. Smart and perfect for Miami's unpredictable weather. Since it's clear, you won't miss a thing.

Instead, I stumbled upon Koana Tiki Bar--a hidden little chamber of tropical enchantment tucked away from the ordinary world. As Miami's only tiki bar, Koana is surprisingly well themed. It is a smaller establishment, which explains why reservations are required, but the intimate setting only adds to the charm. Once inside, the outside world seems to disappear beneath warm lighting, exotic décor, and the unmistakable feeling that something mysterious is being prepared behind the bar. The food is available, but Koana truly shines through its drink menu. The team has clearly done its research and assembled some serious heavy hitters. My companions and I visit whenever we're in Miami, and we've sampled nearly every drink on the menu. I have yet to encounter a bad one. They are fairly priced for Miami, though their strength should not be underestimated. These are not casual refreshments--they are potent little potions disguised as tropical cocktails. The staff is always kind, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. They're happy to explain the drinks and guide you toward something that suits your taste, whether you seek something sweet, sour, smoky, fruity, or powerful enough to summon your ancestors. During my visit, I combined several ingredients from the menu into a highly experimental concoction. After one sip, my allergies vanished completely. After the second, I could smell colors. By the third, I was convinced the palm trees were speaking to me in ancient tongues. I have no idea what was in that drink, but my sinuses were clear, my spirit was elevated, and I briefly achieved enlightenment beneath a decorative tiki mask. Reservations are essential, the drinks are strong, and the bar is small--but Koana is absolutely worth seeking out. Just be certain you're prepared for whatever spirits may answer when you raise your glass.

Guess the insight here is Kaona draws folks who so totally want to be there and participate in the nightly celebrations that it becomes contagious, spreading from table to table with smiles, laughter, and cameras. Oh yeah, and did I mention the cocktails? I feel the term 'artisan' is so overused nowadays that I avoid using it, so can we just go with the Bill & Ted description that Kaona's tiki drinks are "Most Excellent!" Will non Gen-Xers get that last reference???

I politely mentioned to recommend us another drinks options he just shrugged and said "we don't have that" Not offer another choice or an apology.

The place has a great vibe but with service like this, is not worth to spend almost $200 dollars there for few drinks. I don't remember his name but he was tall, Latin and maybe from Colombia. We just wanted to report his behavior to management but in a Saturday's night you just don't want to ruined more. Next.
