Jamaican Caribbean food is one of the best in the world! This location gives some traditional cuisine with a twist. The decor is very modern and elegant looking. You'd want to dress nice to have a meal or even some infamous Rum Punch! Joined a birthday dinner...the service was kind of slow. 30 minutes for my entree to come out. The bartender was wonderful shared a rum punch as i waited for my dinner. You can bring a birthday cake to cut however it's a up-charge. Food wasn't too hot and salty but was tasty. Management was helpful with any discrepancies. Nice modern music to vibe to. There's a full lounge on the lower level with a DJ and top shelf bar area to dance and socialize. There is security at the door for comfort. All ages welcome upstairs dining area. This location is in a celebrity stricken area so reservation is suggested! read more

I had an amazing experience at Negril downtown. The food was absolutely phenomenal, every dish exceeded expectations. I was especially impressed by the exceptional service from the manager, Anthony, who went above and beyond to accommodate me even though I arrived about 10 minutes late due to traffic. His professionalism and kindness truly made a difference and set the tone for a wonderful evening. I had a great time and will definitely be returning again. Highly recommend! read more

Hats off firstly to Lyndon our server!My family and close friends surprised me for my 60th Birthday on this past Sunday evening.12/21. Atmosphere, reggae softly playing ,food and service 10 out of 10. We were a group of about 30 and I would be remiss if I didn't mention the drinks! Amazing read more

My god TUHHHDAY!!!! 10/10 no notes. The food was fresh,piping hot and delicious. I ordered the oxtail ragu, coco bread with jerk garlic butter and garlic broccoli. The homemade coco bread?!!!! Yea next level. The broccoli perfectly cooked and yes I could taste the garlic. NOW. The oxtail ragu, I was expecting pappardelle noodles but NOPE! It was served with rigatoni, generous amounts of oxtail, freshly grated cheese and saucy just like I like it. Anthony is a spectacular server!! They have a forever customer out of me now. My friends rant and RAVEEEEE about this place and I see why. The food did take a while and we were the very first customers so we gave grace as we were in no rush but keep that in mind. read more

Haven't been here in a while, so we came back for dinner--and I'm so glad we did. Starting with the service: Anthony was our server and truly did it all. He was the first to greet us when we walked in, made our drinks at the bar, and served us at the table--all with a big smile. He was friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful throughout the night. The ambiance was lovely and welcoming. For food, we ordered the oxtails, which were incredibly tender and delicious. It's rare to find oxtail that isn't tough or overly fatty, and these absolutely exceeded expectations. We also had the seafood roti, which was full of flavor. The drinks were excellent as well. Overall, an amazing experience from start to finish. Highly recommend. read more

I came here for caribbean tonight & I was hype about it. When I came thru the door, the music was litty. We missed our reservation but we seen open table at the lounge & we grab that. Im cut to the chase, customer services horrible asf. I get its Saturday night but damn it doesn't take long for drinks. Then they ran out of rice and pea. Like wtf that important for the dish. They substitute with Mac & cheese, i guess it was ok. The manager gave us free round so it was cool for the moment. Overall. My experience here was okay. Will I come here again now. The service is here trash but the food is amazing . DO BETTER WITH THE SERVICE.. I had it 3stars in the beginning now it's @ 1star due to im still waiting for my check read more

Negril Village - Salmon pasta - Caribbean Near Me - New York, New York

I wish I could give this place multiple negative stars for me and my group's experience. I'm currently writing this infront of this unprofessional establishment. To start off, the wait time for food and drinks is horrendous. Once we placed our drink order we waited 40 something minutes for our drinks to come and after our food order we waited an extra 1hr and 30 minutes. The menu isn't big enough or too complex for food to take so long to reach your table. God forbid they send you to the bottom floor. It felt like a club, could not have one conversation without the DJ screaming in your ear. Love the vibes but definitely not If you don't want to leave with a headache. On top of all of this, when the food actually made it to the table we didn't even have utensils and had to ask multiple times for some to be brought. When our check got to our table things had been charged wrong as well. I only saw one server in the whole floor and 1 person bringing out the food. I don't know if this place is trying to save money by hiring less people but maybe they should invest more in how they want to treat their clients. Would not recommend this place to anyone. I wish I could get my money back and the memory of ever entering this restaurant. I would've liked to ask for a manager if I didn't feel like it would've taken another 2 hour for someone to come to our table and actually serve us. read more

Guess who is back! Well they got their liquor license back. I came here on Mother's Day with my mum, sis, cuz and aunts. For the last several years we have been here for all of our birthdays. It is our favorite place as a family. The food is always a hit and the staff is always friendly and welcoming even though some faces have changed over the years. The decor switches every few years and it is always a beautiful update. As for the food, my mum had the Escoveitch Whole Fish, my sis and aunt had the Curry Goat, my other aunt had the Jerk Shrimp, my cousin had the Tamarind Ribs and I had the Calabash Stew. We also ordered the Sharing Plate for the appetizer and the Ackee and Tostones (no saltfish) for me. 10s across the board and the Rum Punch is better than I remembered. read more

I love negril village, I've been coming back for several years.it feels like Jamaica when you enter for brunch. Great music, good vibes, and the food here is amazing. I love the seafood platter with lobster, shrimp, and fish, soooo good. I've had plenty of dishes here, the jerk wings are good, not too spicy (definitely order extra sauce on the side) Mac and cheese is really good, the run punch is delicious and the coconut run punch is good too if you like creamy. Overall this please is always a slam dunk, great portions and excellent service. read more

Overall, the experience was nice and the food was good. We came to celebrate my husband's birthday. I probably should've done a little more research beforehand because I really just wanted them to sing him "Happy Birthday," but you have to understand--dealing with Jamaicans, they're not usually like that. My husband, who is Jamaican, didn't really mind. The chicken was a little burnt, but everything else was good. He enjoyed the rest of the food, and since he had no real complaints, I could tell he was satisfied--especially because he tipped $40. read more

Went for my birthday on a Friday night at 8pm (Jan. 3rd) The host was very sweet & got us seated right away. The ambiance is clean, cute & modern. They don't have a liquor license which, I didn't drink but some people would've liked to order a cocktail while waiting for food. Now, they do suggest you bring your own bottle .. but not everyone wants to do that - I would rather my drink mixed from the restaurant I'm eating at. The server .. I felt like he could've been more friendlier. I tried to take into consideration that maybe he was overwhelmed with our party of 9, but honestly it was only us & like 2 other small groups of people in there so needless to say, the restaurant was empty. The food? It was good, but not for the price. I felt like the price was too high compared to other Jamaican cuisines. Not to mention, my order was forgotten about until I had to ask why everyone was eating around me, BUT me .. on MY birthday lol. Again, nothing against the server .. I understand how some nights can go. I also felt like they could've did something special for my birthday, like a slice of cake or something like most restaurants .. but here they didn't even acknowledge it was my birthday even after I told them twice. Anyway, we've been to this restaurant before years ago but I can see that a lot has changed. I still enjoyed my birthday dinner. read more

I enjoyed the laid back Caribbean vibe of this establishment. The music, service and food were good. I highly recommend the empanadas to start. The curry goat is delicious! If you plan to visit please understand that this is a BYOB restaurant. While this can be seen as an inconvenience to some it was no biggie as we ordered a bottle of wine through delivery service. Lastly depending on budget this place may be a bit pricey for some. Overall it was a good experience and I would definitely eat here again. read more

Since I got back from Vietnam I have been on a Jamaican/Caribbean food kick, so when my big bro demanded I meet him at Negril for our weekly lil bro/big bro check in, I happily obliged. We walked in at 7:08pm to a damn near empty restaurant. We were a little shocked, as any place in nyc this empty at 7pm on a Friday seems like a red flag. Negril has a high class Jamaican ambiance, which seems like a contradiction in itself, but I was all for it. My big bro, on the other hand, became concerned. He began to look at pictures on Yelp and thought the portion sizes looked too small for him. After deliberating on whether to stay or leave, I was like "dude let's just try it-it can't hurt to try..." I realized I had never stood up to big bro like this and took a major risk by stating a personal opinion. But he responded with a nonchalant "Okay, I'm down." Did I just big bro my big bro? We got the Jerk Wings, Oxtail Empanadas, Plantains, Curried Goat, and the Jerk Chicken. I was absolutely blown away by the food. The spices and the flavors were all on point, everything was hittin with my favorite being the Jerk Wings and Curried Goat. After we ate, a photographer came around taking HIGH quality pictures of customers. I was a little confused at first, but the motive became clear when they got to our table. They took a couple pictures of me and my big bro, then about 5 minutes later came back with framed pictures that cost $20 a piece. $20 is wild... but at the same time I can't knock the hustle. If I was a few drinks in while eating with my girl, they forsure would have got my ass. Echoing other reviews, the ONLY reason I'm giving them 4 stars is because of the 20% gratuity baked in. I just think that this completely misaligns incentives for good service. By the end of our meal, the place was PACKED which was external validation that we had made a great decision. External validation, while dangerous, is nice sometimes. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews read more

Negril is a diamond in the rough. It's been quite sometime since I've dined here. The ambience - intimate, The food - Good and the service is GREAT! If my date and I were drinkers.

I have to admit that I love this place. Years ago I used to go to the old one on 23rd, as it was close to my gym at the time. But this location has such a nice vibe. Very chilled with a touch of sophistication. Added to that is the fact that the food is delicious! On this occasion we had an order of curried goat roti, and another order of curried lobster, shrimp, salmon, and grits. Both dishes were delicious. Perfectly prepared. Added to that the wonderful and attentive service provided by Christina, and it was a wonderful dinner date night. If you've not been, then I encourage you to go. Have some great food, enjoy the environment, and just feel alright... read more

This is a long time staple. I was surprised to find that they do not have a liquor license. Drinks would have been a great accompaniment to our food. Nonetheless, the server was great, polite and gracious. The setting stands the test of time. It would be great if the downstairs area would host events. It's a nice lounge area that could be put to good use. It may be a while before returning- hopefully by then they drinks will be in effect. read more

The food was great, service was wonderful, and atmosphere was definitely a vibe. HOWEVER, this was my first time back since before Covid, so I didn't know there was no longer a bar. So, for anyone looking to come here for drinks, it's a BYOB establishment now. That was ok for me, but many ppl in my party had to send ppl to the nearest liquor store for wine. read more

Staff was nice and inviting, food was delicious, and location was great. Everything was cooked perfect, but would've chosen something other than broccoli, maybe cabbage or greens. All of the meats were delicious(jerked chicken, goat, and oxtails). Their bar was not serving for some reason, so they allowed BYOB, and we made the most of with our bottle of Nephew Rum(shout out Les). I will definitely be back, and I would make this a stop while in NY. read more

If you haven't already tried Caribbean food I suggest you do so and this is the perfect place to do it. If you like Caribbean food this is a nice upscale way to consume it. The food is really wonderful, I particularly like the cod fish fritters, the chicken roti and the collard greens, but almost everything I've had here has been terrific and the place is really pleasant to sit in and I love the service. Last night I had Christina as my waitstaff and not only was she attentive but she also had a terrific sense of humor. read more

I came last night for restaurant week, staff was friendly. Drinks were amazing. But the oxtail ragu lacked flavor and the portion was small. Our party of 6, 3 ppl received their appetizers, and the other 3 had to wait 20 more mins or so.. the missing 3 appetizers came after our entrees arrived. The codfish fritters were excellent when we did receive it. read more

Came here last weekend to celebrate my sister's birthday. I had such high hopes because I'd had nice experiences here before. When I walked in, things just seemed different.. I found out that they were closed for two years and undergone a complete makeover. I actually preferred the look and feel of the previous setup.. Unfortunately, they lost a star because we waited an hour to be seated even though we had reservations booked. It was not fun and was deflating to our evening to see people walk in after us and get seated before. Patience was definitely a virtue that night. Management seemed nice enough and put forth effort, but it just kept falling short. When we were seated, service was pleasant, but still a bit slow.. by the time we were finished eating, part of our party didn't even feel like enjoying the downstairs lounge because it had gotten too late, which was a bummer. Even though we made it down there, we only had about 45 minutes before the lights came on. There is a decent enough DJ with a nice amount of seating and a bar area. I liked the lounge area better now than I did before in terms of set up. Now, back to the dining experience... food was tasty, but a bit overpriced for the portions.. and to charge so much for just juice?? $11 for a non alcoholic drink just seemed excessive. We thought we'd save so much money since they currently don't have a liquor license and are BYOB.. but it was still ridiculous. My ackee tostones were good.. and the oxtail were as well, but I literally got 4 of them for $44 with a sad side of rice and steamed veggies... everyone enjoyed the jerk wings.. really didn't hear any complaining about the taste of the food. This is about my 4th time at Negril, unfortunately, will probably be my last. read more

I have been coming here for close 16 years. They lost their liquor license 2 years ago after the pandemic. And yet they are unable to get it back. WHY????? They had a great dance floor in the basement level. I don't see much activity. It is a shell of it's former self. This place provided me so much fun memories. It is sad to see what it has become. read more

My friends and I came here around 4:30pm on a quiet Saturday to have a few apps and drink our BYOB drinks. Not within 10 minutes of being seated the manager came over and emphasized the importance of "being quiet for the other patrons". Now I know a large group at peak hours can be very disruptive in a restaurant and I am cognizant of that. However there was just 4 of us and we had barely been seated / chatting when we felt very targeted for the comments made. We proceeded to sit for 2 hours and the several tables near us never complained about our noise so we felt it was an unnecessary start to our dining experience by the manager. On top of that while our waiters were patient and kind, one of our waiters consistently tried to push us to order more food every time he came around which was also frustrating. We frequent this neighborhood a lot and most of us have lived in the city of over 10-15 years and needless to say we won't be returning. read more

Came home tonight and had a taste for some jerk wings. This place is definitely my go to, although the chicken had a feeling or maybe residue on my teeth after each one I ate, I loved that they are spicy and flavorful. The little cornbread's with guava spread is always tasty as well. It was really good, although the portions could be a little bit more plentiful for the prices. I ordered on Grubhub and it came pretty quickly. read more

Excellent service, beautiful establishment, and BYOB! We stayed there for about 4 hours and the service was top notch. Never rushed us out and made sure to do right by their guests. I had the Jamaican breakfast and my partner had the jerk chicken with French toast. For the table we had the shrimp skewers, the goat dumpling?, some kind of egg dish, and a croquette of some sort. The croquette was really good! For dessert, we had the bread pudding. I ordered the salted fish with eggs as my main. Overall the food was okay for me. I think my favorite were the croquettes and the dessert but I was too full to finish the dessert. The vibes are immaculate here but food is pricey and it was overall ok in taste for me. read more
