Rum punch- yuck Loaded fries- passable…read moreAtmosphere- not welcoming We walked in to only 2 other people there which was fine since we typically enjoy a spot that we can "take over". Sat at the bar watching the bartender deep in a conversation on the phone. Waited and waited and eventually was able to order our drinks. I got a rum punch and refused to take another sip. My friend took mine and I went with a passion fruit margarita which was ok. Idk what rum they put in the premade rum punch but please revise that. The fries were disappointing as well. Fries were extremely oily and just not great. I can't see myself returning

We were a party of 2 and a table with 3 sat down and then 2 people at the bar. There was no reason that our chicken egg rolls and the rest of the food took forever to come out. The server even warned us that the food takes long . They need to get that part under control. The dj came and set up . Great play list a little bit of everything r&b, hip hop, reggae soca etc... but the volume was way to loud. The place was shaking and vibrating. We came during happy hour. The drinks were ok. Food temps were good but just lacked a bit of flavor, although I must say the curry goat was decent. The Decor is nice . Yet the place just feels unprepared not ready yet to service the public.

Played it cute and got a White Peach Sangria, H20 and of course GreenTea shots - that was light on the acidity but nothing a lil lime didn't 'fix' The DJ had us rocking! Our waiter, Prince AND the owner were great. Hospitality and vibes were ‍ Definitely coming back again!

On a random Tuesday me and a couple of ppl stop by here. Well it wasn't that random…read moreIt was my friends birthday. We heard that the hookah and drinks were pretty good, so we decided to cross that bridge and see what's up. ( staten islanders always have to cross a bridge lol) When we got there the host was very welcoming ... like he actually likes his job. The atmosphere gave a very chill elegant but lay back vibe. We order an espresso martini with cognac ( that's my go to ) it was a 7.5 We got the love 66 with a splash of mint and the hookah was busting I give it a 8.5. But all in all it was a good time but also a little price. But they'd did give us conplementary shot for being the only ppl there on a Tuesday I guess lol

I really love the chicken wings and their Mac and cheese, especially, the nachos, obsessed with the food really and they have one of the best hookas the area! It could get a bit crowded in there.

All day Mondays and mon-fri 5-8

If you're looking for a cute date night spot with a great ambiance, good food and great music, I…read moredefinitely recommend Le Chai. I bought my niece here for her birthday based off a recommendation from a friend. I was instantly impressed when we walked in by the decor. The low lightening and the vibe def set the mood. Our server was great and attentive. He took the time to explain the menu, always checked on us and made great conversation. Food was great! I got the drunken noodles with shrimp. The portions were great and I had left overs for the next day. The only reasons I couldn't give me this restaurant 5 stars was because 1. It was soooo hot in there. I don't know what happened to the AC that day but the restaurant was stifling 2. The pricing on the menu was deceptive. On the side of the regular menu, it states the prices of the dish. You get to pick a protein but it fails to state how much additional the dish would be with the protein. I did enjoy my time here though and would recommend it to others.

If you're looking for a spot that has great food, amazing vibes, and a beautiful atmosphere, Lé…read moreChai is definitely worth checking out. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was inviting, and the outdoor patio made the experience even better. It's the perfect place to unwind with friends, celebrate, or enjoy a date night. The food was delicious, with every dish full of flavor and beautifully presented. Their cocktails were just as impressive, and if you're into hookah, they have that too. The live DJ kept the energy going, creating the perfect balance of a laid-back brunch and a fun day out. Whether you're stopping by for Sunday brunch, dinner, or just drinks on the patio, Lé Chai delivers a great overall experience. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu. If you haven't been yet, add this one to your Brooklyn list.

We celebrated a friend's birthday at this restaurant and had an amazing time. The staff were very…read morefriendly and welcoming. The space aesthetic and decor was beautiful all over. We had the pleasure to be sitting close to the DJ who was spinning old school reggae that had us whining in our seats. LOL Now to be best part, the food and drinks. For the drinks our table ordered the rum punch, sangria and I had a refreshing ginger, apple mocktail. For starters, the table ordered the sweet chili wings, crab cakes and fried shrimp. We devoured the appetizers and was looking forward to our main course. Everyone ordered some variation of fish and I ordered the duck. Everything was delicious and we were all satisfied with our food and drinks. We ordered everything on mini tablets. The staff were sweet and brought out the birthday lights and dessert for my friend while we sang happy birthday. This was a cool spot and black owned and I would definitely return to check out some other menu items.

Lilli was a highly rated and recommended local spot in the neighborhood we're visiting, and I did…read morereally enjoy our experience, but I candidly don't know if I'd be back! First, I guess I'll start with what I wish was different. Lilli is across the street from another restaurant, but otherwise there's not much to do nearby after you eat. There's no bars or many spots to go to before or after the dinner, not even a liquor store. Just corner stores or fast food type shops nearby. I think the overall experience would be so much better if they were just honestly in a better location. I'm not removing any stars for this, just sharing feedback in case other people are planning on doing stuff after stopping here. Since our group was in the mood to stay up past 10pm, it was a bit lame to have nothing to experience walking out. For the neighborhood they're in, I don't feel like this is the regular dinner night spot for most families around here either. Secondly, I don't really love spots that nickel and dime you for everything. They charge 3% extra if you use card on everything and there's auto gratuity applied to your bill, even as a party of four. If you plan on ordering a lot of drinks, just be aware that it will increase your total. I'd rather a spot just charge me $32 for something, instead of $30, than to give me all of these random charges. I personally feel like you shouldn't auto charge gratuity for parties under 6. I am removing stars for this. Lastly, this is just a personal opinion, and again nothing I am removing stars for, but I personally didn't love the aesthetics inside. A lot of people compliment how it looks inside and I personally felt like it looked incomplete and also a bit sterile? Like they have mirrors inside their restaurant that made me feel like I was in an Apple store but also a spa because they have fake floral tree branches on the wall. I also felt like their music was way too loud. We did enjoy the food and I thought they had really great drink options too! Our server was also good, although I felt bad since he had a whole room to himself and looked so busy. They give you ipads for their menus, and I feel like they could easily just allow guests to place orders from their ipads and cut out an extra step for the wait staff. Really debating between the 3 and 4 stars, but I guess since I'm not itching to go back here, I am leaning towards 3 since Yelp doesn't allow half ratings.

Because we were about to celebrate my 18 year old nephew at olive grdn . & my dad is hard to impress sometimes but he was VERY impressed with our food experience here. It wasn't super packed in here on a Monday night as expected so service was pretty good. We didn't know until the end of the night, our server was the owner. It's very chill and dark in there, the decor inside is simple but nice touch with the waterfall wall. Now for food.. I kept it simple with jerk chicken with rice n peas, it was nice and flavorful but I wish I got it with the pasta though. My husband got lobster pasta and I couldn't stop eating off his plate, it was probably the best thing we all ordered. My nephew got oxtail Mac and cheese and that was great as well, they just give you like 4 likkle pieces of oxtail though. Mom got the steamed snapper, was nice a soft and full of flavor. Dad got the honey glazed pork chops, and he enjoyed it. We also had a few drinks, beers, they were decent. Hoping the owner updates their site and menu online so people can know all the great things they offer here! Overall, everything was great! I'd def be back someday and highly recommend!

Went to D Garden for a quick late-night bite and they had Taco Tuesday going on…read more We tried the oxtail tacos, jerk chicken, sweet chili salmon, and a margarita. The oxtail itself was pretty delicious, but the sauce was a little overwhelming for me--it almost gave a Thousand Island-type vibe, and I think less sauce would've let the oxtail shine more. The jerk chicken though?! Definitely my favorite. It was flavorful and delicious, and if I came back I'd probably skip the salmon and just get the jerk chicken dinner. The sweet chili salmon was okay, but it had an interesting taste that wasn't really for me. The margarita was pretty standard. Service was good and we never felt like we were bothering anyone, even coming in later. The space definitely gives more sports bar than restaurant since there are TVs EVERYWHERE So if you're coming for a date where you really want to talk and connect, or have a serious conversation, I probably wouldn't choose here because there's a lot going on visually. BUT the music was amazinggg! If you love Soca, reggae, and Caribbean vibes, you'll probably enjoy yourself. The DJ that night was really good We did notice a few house flies, which were a little distracting, but it's summertime and we were sitting somewhat close to the door, so I wasn't completely surprised. It's also not a huge space, so I could definitely see it getting packed quickly on a Friday or Saturday night, especially with a good DJ. Overall: Food: 7/10 Drinks: 7/10 Vibe: Come for the music + Caribbean energy Would I return? Yes--but I'm getting that jerk chicken next time!

I was lucky to find a parking space right in front of the restaurant so I knew the luck was on my side. I walked into the bar to discover happy hour and the delicious happy hour drinks of rum punch and margaritas. A band was setting up and testing the sound and I already knew it was going to be a nice night. To make a long story short, I had the whole fish for dinner and was able to sample the chicken, bang bang shrimp and the meatballs. The drinks were very very good. Even if I'm not hungry, I would come back for the drinks!!!! I met some of the staff including the GM and the chef! They are so nice!! Just between them I would return and I plan to tell as many people as possible. The music was jamming. Called my friend who apparently had been there in the upstairs area. She wants to return for the music and food! I shall be back!!

The Good: -The pasta was a stand out dish; really creamy,…read morecheesy, umami. I dream about this, and it comes in a large size. -HH on Thursday meant $1 wings (10 minimum) and the Jerk Chicken ones were large, juicy, and flavourful. The presentation was impeccable. -Music wasn't too loud, decor was perfect, and overall vibes were good from fellow patrons. It was chill and intimate without being too serious. The Bad: -The service was quite slow and the woman serving us was typing in the order one letter at a time...with her index finger. -The rice and peas were not whole grains and rice and were dry; I couldn't taste any coconut in it. The Meh: -The wings were inconsistent in size -- the Thai sweet chili and Soy Garlic were smaller and drier as compared to the Jerk Chicken, and bordered on flavourless. -The drinks were fine, couldn't really taste the alcohol. The oxtail was standard, but I thought it'd have more flavour complexity or be more tender given that it was braised in Caribbean rum. The vegetable sides were slightly undercooked and came with small pieces of corn on the cob which was hard to eat. When I've gotten a side of veggies in the past, it's been blanched cabbage with butter which I prefer. -The salmon added onto the pasta was good, but it was overcooked and dry.
