Phenomenal food. It is very rare when I go to a restaurant and I love every single dish equally the same. WOW. My first time at a Jamaican restaurant too and I'm so glad that it was here. You seriously can't go wrong with any of the dishes here. Staff were so lovely and friendly too. Drinks were also delicious. Ambient was nice and cozy. Just a fantastic experience. Will definitely be back!! read more

The service and vibes are always on point. I got to venture out a little today because we a lot of different things from our regular salmon dish (which is amazing). We got whole fish, curry oxtail, festival, wings, jerk chicken, Rasta pasta, jerk fried rice, cauliflower and my favorite of the night lamb chops. The Rasta Pasta was a pleasant surprise. That might be my new go to. My friends had signature drinks and had good things to say. I stayed basic with a kola Champagne :) i enjoyed the night. Can't wait for my leftovers. read more

Our server Jimmy was amazing. He was so sweet and attentive. Overall the food and service here was absolute Ty incredible. The vibes are 10/10 the music is fun but not so loud that you have to shout across the table. I will definitely be back the next time I am in Miami. read more

Came here with some friends on the weekend because we wanted a more lowkey lounge environment. I found this place from an Instagram video I had saved because the music seemed lively and the inside Jamaican decor was nice. Indeed it was upon arrival, no line to get in and the bar was immediately within walking distance. I didn't order any food but I got myself a Tequila Mule. They had some board games to play but it's so dark that you can barely see. Either way it's a cool, laid back spot if you're not looking to go to a nightclub in Miami. There's nearby parking garages and very few street parking. I would definitely come back and order an appetizer or 2. The DJ was cool but there wasn't too many people there anyway so we headed out after about 1-2 hours read more

The oxtail with the rice and peas was filling and some really good meat falling off the bone oxtail. This is A1 Jamaican food if you're ever in downtown Miami. The bar is a also a vibe if you get the chance. read more

A friend and I were walking around Miami looking for a place to eat. We saw the sign for Jrk! next door and was walked by, saw the Interior of Mangrove and immediately knew we should check this place out instead. Was totally worth it, the vibes were great, our bartender was friendly, and the Wet Jerk wings were quite easily the best wings I've ever had in my life. Cooked to perfection, with just the perfect amount of flavor. read more

What a delightful surprise it is to find a wonderful gem with such an incredible food, sweet people like Jimmy and Aliyah! I am so happy to have given it a chance passing by. Parking is right next door. Thank you for a wonderful evening read more

This is one of the best restaurants I've ever ate at, let alone one of the best restaurants in Miami. Everything the ambiance with the warm lights and great music to the amazing service shown, Mangrove is the spot to be at. Didn't even take pictures of the food because everything was so delicious and seasoned so good. read more

Food is well seasoned I've never had oxtails so tender! Really delicious and enjoyed I had to save some for later first time trying so no disappointments! Thank you for your service And friendly hospitality read more

The oxtail, rice and peas and the cabbage was some kind of delicious. And to top it off the rum cake he sells byb305 rum cake finished the meal on a high note. His staff especially Andreos(sp) was super helpful and nice. If you live in Miami or just visiting this is a must-have stop! read more

Mangrove is definitely a hidden gem downtown. It's a chic intimate Caribbean lounge, dimly lit and plays the best music. On the weekends they have live DJs. I had a salmon was very flavorful and I try the festivals I'm not used to having powdered sugar on my festivals but that's how they serve them at mangrove. They were pretty good. I'll definitely go back again. read more

What a pleasant surprise. We went here with kids so we decided to go a little early. Around 6 pm on a Saturday No reservations. It is family friendly, glad we went early, by the time we finished it was busier. This is a nice spot for a date. The vibe is laid back, music in the background, great way to start a date night. The food was excellent. The drinks were great. The service friendly and welcoming. Drinks: prestige beer, natural mystic, and hot stepper. Perfectly balanced cocktails. Food: patties, champagne salmon, Rasta pasta, and da' traditional. All so very tasty, but my favorite was the traditional. Wish it had more rice. You must enjoy spice if you go here. The least of the spiciest entrees was the salmon. The skin was crispy and the inside flaky. The pasta had a spicy cream sauce. We were four and ordered three entrees. It worked out since we had two kids with us who usually do not finish an entree. Good portion size if you get appetizers. If you are not ordering appetizers then the portion is big enough for one. The prices were not too cheap in my opinion but I would definitely go back. Would love to have the Curry Roti. You can also visit their take out area, Jrk, next door. Much cheaper and just as tasty. read more

Food - 5 star Portion sizes - 5 star Price - affordable Atmosphere - 5 star Staff - 5 star Music - 5 star This place is the ultimate vibe. It's a small venue, but it gives BDE. This is my new staple spot, and my new go to recommendation to out of towners. read more

The food was so good, I literally shed a tear on my first bite of the Rasta Pasta. Good vibes, beautiful decor, super viby crowd- it was perfect! Plus, it turns up after 10p do a late reservation is a good move. read more

Everything was amazing! Ambiance, vibes, FOOD, drinks, service! You name it! Hurry up and check it out! read more

I am Jamaican. Born & raised. This place seriously disappointed me. Just because the food is next level spicy and has the word "jerk" doesn't mean it's Jamaican. There was no flavor, just spice. This is not authentic Jamaican food and I wish it was better. read more

Everything excellent!! Jimmy was out server and was great!!! Great vibe and great food to match. DJ at 9pm.

Let me start by saying that the customer service at this restaurant is commendable. I arrived around 6pm and my reservation was for 6:30pm but the restaurant opens at 6pm and it was basically empty except for the 4 people sitting in front of me. I was seated immediately and the waiter, Wensley (I think that's his name) immediately came over to offer water etc. I had already checked the menu online and knew what I was going to order. I opted for the braised oxtail (delicious), Jamaican style red peas and rice and a side order of pineapple glazed fried plantains. For my drink I had a red wine (which is the famous Jamaican sorrel aka hibiscus plant drink with rum and lime juice). My entire meal was delish!! Kudos to the chef and bartender! The restaurant has a casual lounge setting with relaxing Jamaican reggae music playing in the background and the volume was at the right level so you don't have to shout to talk to anyone. Would I eat here again: YES!! My only issue was that a 20% gratuity was slapped on my bill without my prior knowledge or consent. Keeping in mind that legally, a customer can decline the gratuity charge, it would be better for the restaurant to have a sign or place it on the table informing patrons of the fact that there will be a 20% gratuity so the patron can decide if they want to decline it or eat there and then. Additionally, I was there myself so the 20% auto-gratuity was a bit high. Please note that the customer can decline the gratuity charge, it is the law. I would prefer to decide the amount I would like to give as a gratuity. If and when I visit again, I will ask the waiter to scratch that auto-gratuity and allow me to tip as much as I want! This whole tipping thing in America is getting out of hand. Great restaurant and I wish them longevity and success! read more

Great first time experience!!! The food was amazing and the service :) my waiter was wensley. I will be coming back for sure! Best Rasta pasta I ever had. The music was really good too. I will be back on the weekend for drinks. I really enjoyed my time here and I'm a harsh critic sometimes :) read more

Delicious new spot in Downtown Miami. Drinks menu was impressive - loved the Red Red Wine cocktail and would come back for that alone. Food was delicious; we ordered the jerk wings (not spicy), Mac and cheese, and oxtail curry which came with coconut rice and peas (to die for). Everything was reasonably priced by Miami standards and staff was friendly/not pretentious. Can't wait to come back! read more

The ambiance/ vibe in this place is its strongest selling point. The music, the lighting, the energy make this spot perfect for date night. The food wasn't memorable. EXCEPT the jerk mac and cheese. That was perfect. Unique, flavorful, reasonably priced. It was the only thing I thought about days later. The wait times were long, even with a reservation. There is not a lot of seating either. I'd be back. read more

The food is delicious!! We've had the jerk chicken, cauliflower bites and beef patty. My favorite drink is Red Red Wine which has roselle and I could have it all night. It is always such a vibe for dinner &/or their events. The customer service from Warren and Marvin (our waiter) is top tier! I truly love it here read more

It was an amazing evening celebrating my girlfriend's birthday! The cozy bar lounge vibe was perfect. The food was excellent, and even though we missed our reservation, the staff was kind enough to accommodate us on a full house night. The DJ had the place grooving with 90s oldies-but-goodies, the drinks were on point, and Wensley our waiter was truly the best! Definitely recommend, and I'll absolutely be back. read more

10/10! We went on a Thursday night, I loved the ambiance & the food was really good. The rasta pasta is one of a kind & my traditional plate with jerk chicken was chef's kiss! I definitely recommend coming here read more

We also came on a night with a live singer which made the experience more memorable. read more

My experience at Mangrove was great. The restaurant is nice with a low key atmosphere. The reggae music in the background was really good too.
