Wontons
Saasha G.

Arrived here for a drink on a weekday night and was met with a bouncer who proceeded to check my identification, search my bad and patted my coat down. My friend with me asked" are you sure we came here to eat?" . I had the same sentiment The atmosphere is very lounge clubbish with high top tables and chair and the bar. We ordered a number of items: crab cakes, mussels, wontons and stew snapper. The passion fruit margaritas tasted like medicine hitting the back of my throat immediately with whatever syrup they use so the waiter was gracious to take it back and exchange it. The replaced drink wasn't any better but I drank it since the waiter was so nice. The best thing we got was the crab cake which was full of crab but for 22 bucks it better be. The food here isn't bad tasting but it also ain't mesmerizing, it's like eating at a regular West Indian food joint.

I came here to have a girl's talk drink with my friends. I ordered a Frośe and Pineapple Habanero. My friend ordered Herbed French Fries and soda. The ambiance was nice. It was nice and cool inside on a hot day. My friend went to restroom and there was no toilet paper to be found:-(. When my wings came out. The did the ultimate offense. They "wings" came as all drum pieces. Unfortunately like most I am a flats gurlie. So it felt like they were passing allllll of the unwanted drums to me. I would not have minded if they gave me a mix but oh no. I won't be back. The Frośe was okay.

Salmón
Tee G.

This venue can benefit from more space, more seasoning, and a much better DJ or at least one that is willing to make some slight adjustments. High top tables are not comfortable and can only seat 4. The alternative is all the way in the crammed back space near the kitchen and bathroom traffic. (Yuck) Only one bathroom I might add. Horrible!!! DJ played quite a few dated, corny, very commercial music. PLEASE omit that and add more reggae and soca!!! Oxtails & Mac get a 7/10. More seasoning and sauce please! The salmon also 7/10. There is absolutely no need to destroy fish with an overly sweet glaze. I want to taste salmon not a lollipop. Ask for the glaze on side to dip unless you intentionally want to mask salmon with syrup! A lemon & basil glaze would be ideal. The drinks were fair. 8.5/10 for drinks. They can also use another waiter. He was forgetful, frazzled, could have been more attentive and reached OVER guest heads to hand plates! Big NO NO! Move around and to the side but do not handle plates over a patrons head! Basic etiquette 101. The place has potential, overall good vibes, fair happy hour prices.

The Nortorius 6.2.3
Jessy L.

This is a great restaurant that's always worth the trip to Carnarsie. I've been here a few times and had a great time each time. I love their Nortorius 6.2.3 frozen drink. I've been here for "Wine Wednesdays" for a couple of glasses of wine. I love the food here! From the Mussels to the Calamari to the Shrimp Tacos to the to the Ackee and Saltfish Tostones to the Salmon with mashed potatoes and vegetables. I enjoyed every bite! The servers here are attentive and deserve their tips. The DJ here plays great music that keeps the place lively and engaged. The restaurant is the perfect size with a cascading waterfall against the back wall. I'm looking forward to coming back! You get free shots here from time to time if you're lucky and exude lively behavior.

Salmon with mashed potatoes and asparagus
Trevor B.

My uncle and I stopped at Prime 623 to get a bite to eat. He's been there before, so he wanted me to try it out. Nice spot to chill and watch sports. The fruit punch was good, and the salmon tasted fine with the crispy skin. My mashed potatoes were okay. it could've been hotter, just my preference. Asparagus was cooked right, maybe a little more on the plate, though. My uncle enjoyed his food as well. The waiter was cool and attentive. We didn't have to wait long, like I've seen from other reviews. There were people at the bar, and as we came in the one table was leaving. So, I couldn't say how the service would be when there's more people. Overall, not in my neighborhood to frequent. However, security was very hospitable. He seemed like a good genuine dude.

Fried Shrimp Taco
Michelle O.

10/25/23: Decided to return and give a second chance. So glad I did. This time around all was amazing and on point. Our server Trishan was on point at all levels. Friendly, engaging, knowledgeable and all round good time. Note: place is on the smaller side reservations highly recommended. Drinks: wow the rum punch definitely smacks a punch Wray n his Nephew totally present in that drink. Food: was going to take away a star because the wait was a bit ridiculous but food was very flavorful and delicious so couldn't in good faith lower the stars. Appetizers: Ackee and Saltfish well seasoned and yummy Fried shrimp wantons equally yummy. Great flavor in the jerk chicken tacos. Would love to see this in a salad. My escovitch fish was huge taste wise I had no complaints. My friend ordered the lamb chops OMG that jerk flavor hit all the taste buds. As I'm compiling review thinking if they Uber eats to my home. Dessert we had the cheesecake not the best I've ever had but it understood the assignment and did its job for our palette. This night in particular live music on deck. Performer definitely had folks rocking in their seats. Their Halloween decorations were pretty good. All in all great time had by all. Def check it out!

I truly feel locals have low expectations on restaurants because why is this place 4 stars ? This place gets busy . The music can be ok at times (depending on your taste) but the SERVICE ? Its horrendous . 5 of us sat . We all ordered the smallest things and EVERYTHING came one by one , with 20-30 min increments - my friend literally ordered sautéed vegetables and didn't get it for an entire hour after ordering , not to mention the food is flooded with salt & the false advertising. I ordered lobster mac n cheese and veggies, I got a bowl full of mac n cheese and 1 lobster tail buried beneath it all . Salty food and ridiculously long wait times. Once my friend finished his calamari the OTHER FRIEND GOT HIS VEGETABLES , ONCE HE FINISHED HIS VEGGIES I GOT MY FOOD - it really didn't make any sense - we were just watching every table get pieces of their order. Long story short I honestly wouldn't do it again - I hate poor service.

Flavor Margarita Blackberry
Dana B.

I dined here last night. The space is a small neighborhood gem. Soca and R&B to jam to while you drink and eat. The air was not working which is why I gave 4 stars. Thankfully, I travel with a hand fan. I ordered the blackberry margarita, mussels, and fries. It took over 40 mins for my food to come. I almost didn't notice because I was enjoying the music. Once my food finally arrived a third of the mussel shells were empty. However, I informed a lady I didn't know was the owner at the time. They took a few dollars off my bill and the owner and I did a shot. Nice gesture. The only negative I have is the gratuity was included. I wasn't aware. For someone who sat at the bar, the bar tender wasn't too attentive. It took 40 mins to notice I hadn't received my food and not that he was super busy. I'm a tipper so I would've tipped...but accordingly. The owner asked how long I was in town and suggested I return before I leave the city. Her hospitality and that of security would get me to return. Nice spot with an unexpected warm welcome.

Menu

Definitely a lovely spot. DJ was spinning them tunes and the drinks were strong. Hookah available The food was good with a likkle kick of heat.

Bar area

I recently heard about this place. They recently opened in November. So we came to try it on a Friday night. The place was crowded around 8 pm but crowd grew more. Not an extremely large space, but decent size. High top tables and bar space available. Lower tables in the back. we were told upon entry that ordering apps at the bar would be 30 mins and entrees at least and hr so we ordered a bunch of apps. (This was not the case) Food: 9/10 Prime festival mussels: the sauce is amazing. The mussels were cooked well. I recommend Fried shrimp tacos: (serving of 2) large grilled tortillas with fried shrimp in a jerk mayo with mango and cabbage slaw. Honestly could have used more cabbage. Flavor was not my favorite. But okay Jerk chicken taco: (serving of 2) large grilled tortillas. Chicken is well seasoned and juicy and served with mango chutney and cabbage. I have the same thoughts in this that more cabbage should be included as the tortillas and large but not a lot of filling. So you're essentially eating tortilla by itself at certain points. Grilled shrimp was my favorite. Very tasty, light seasoning but yet so juicy and flavorful. I personally would not serve with tarter sauce. Maybe opt for jerk sauce or idk a soy ginger or garlic butter. Ambiance: great music playing (old dance hall/ reggae, old & new R&B). Loud enough to vibe to but not good for intimate convos fyi. Decor is nice and simple yet inviting Staff: extremely friendly. Not the most attentive though. But I will say again it was busy and they seem like they are trying to work out a seem less flow. It took entirely to long to be served drinks and food. 20-30 min for a drink. 1hr+ for apps. I'm going to say it's because they are still getting into the swing of things. I will definitely come back as this place has great potential. The staff are so great and friendly and the food I tried is worth coming again. Hoping there is a better process in the upcoming months. Rooting for y'all!

Habanero wings.
Maya B.

I came here with my 75 year old mother not knowing it's mostly a younger crowd. She loved it! The Manager was kind and accommodating. He made sure we were having a good time. Even the security guard took care of us. The bartender knows how to pour, ok! The drinks were so good I would've had more if I wasn't driving. Between 3 of us we had the jerk chicken tacos, parmesan, fries, mango habanero wings, and lobster with the creamy pasta. Everything was good! I need that pasta again. The DJ is a nice added touch. He played all genres of music. We sang, we ate, we had a great time. It's a really nice addition to the neighborhood. Will be returning for Brunch. And they stay open til 2AM on the weekends! Just go!

Jerk chicken tacos
Linda M.

This was my first time here. All of the food was incredibly good. We had the chicken wings with Buffalo sauce, the pasta with lobster and the jerk chicken tacos. Everything was delicious. It was happy hour so drinks were also discounted. They were just right. Not too strong, not too sweet Service was good but it could definitely be improved. It was a long wait for a menu and a server. It took multiple attempts to get the attention of the bartender or server.

The food was great. The music was too loud. They did play a mixture of music. The customer service was great.

Golden Blue Bar & Restaurant - Fried chicken

Golden Blue Bar & Restaurant

How this restaurant got under my radar is one for the books. Anyone who knows me knows that I am…read morea foodie, and a darn picky one. After getting back from being out of town celebrating my birthday, I wanted Caribbean cuisine. Thanks to Yelp, I found this gem of a restaurant. First, the place is huge. This is a place for a party. Greeted by Amantha, a vibrant young lady, was a plus. Our visit was on a Monday night, when they have an all-day happy hour. Be careful of their cocktails because when they say "boozy," they mean it. I let Amantha make all the suggestions for us because, hey, if she doesn't know what's good, who does? I always want fish, so she suggested the Snapper, and noted that it would be a 35-minute wait because "everything" is made fresh. Gordon Ramsay would be thrilled. So, we ordered appetizers. Rose's Shrimp Empanadas were delicious. The shrimp were succulent and not overcooked. The Mini Gold Delights, plantain cups filled with Tassot (fried goat) and topped with pikitz (spicy slaw), a must-have!! Both served with their Golden Sauce, a savory mustardy sauce similar to a Dijon vinaigrette. Both of these were washed down with Gen Bagay cocktails (we had two). On to the main courses. I ordered the Brooklyn Red Snapper stew, with white rice and a black bean sauce. The Snapper was spectacular. It was enough for three people. It was heavier in texture than Asian steamed fish, and yet lighter than the cousin Jamaican Escovitch Fried Red Snapper. But baby, talk about flavor. My partner ordered the Blue Goat, a savory, unctuous dish with a rich gravy, served with Djon- Djon, a native rice dish of Haiti, made with black mushrooms, a part of the cooking process, leaving an umami-packed punch of flavor. My man said that this was the best rice he had ever eaten! , If you are not used to eating Haitian cuisine, have Amantha show you how to eat it. There is actually a ritual to blending these flavors, which made a difference. We had leftovers, but the best part is that the food was even better the next day!!! Not many restaurants can say that. They celebrated my birthday, which extended my celebration. Thank you, Golden Blue Restaurant. I will be back, and my out-of-state cousins want to come too. Now I know why, during our visit, many folks were coming in for takeout or Uber Eats! I will definitely be back!

Must try Haitian food! I went for restaurant week and the staff were so nice. I felt at home they…read moretreat you like family and from the people that came in it seems everyone knows each other and we're laughing and joking. Very cozy restaurant with great food. The food did take a while and we were told that because everything is fresh and you can tell that it was prepared fresh. I didn't mind the wait because we had drinks with our meal and that was good as well. It's a family owned spot and I love spots like this because I like to see when everyone in the family is invested, especially the younger generations.
