    Shrimp wantons
    Tamika G.

    Stopped here for a girls link up and we had a great time. The music was a vibe, great service and good drinks. What I ordered was cool but nothing I haven't tasted before. I had the esvotich fish with rice and peas. We tried the crab cakes and shrimp wantons. The fish had Great escovitch vegetables, fish was overcooked but full of carribbean spices. Rice was ok. The wantons was deelish but had to much sauce for me. The crab cake was a bit salty but came with a healthy salad which cut the salt. Prime 623 is a good local bar with a great vibe.

    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.

    The Nortorius 6.2.3

    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

    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.

    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!

    Came here midweek during the afternoon for lunch with the family and it was a nice surprise. Been hearing about this place from friends. It was pretty empty when we came in but the music was still on point with a chill vibe. If you like strong delicious drinks, then Omar is your man. They were on point. For appetizers we had the jerk chicken taco and they definitely were on point. For main I had the escovitch snapper, hubby had the pork chops and my mom had the salmon. Everything was just absolutely delicious with the right combination of spices. My mom cleaned her plate which she never does when we go out lol.

    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.

    Over the years, I've never considered myself a regular, but I used to frequent quite a bit. I just…read morerecently visited since pre-pandemic days, and I'm thrilled to see many familiar faces celebrating in what I consider a cultural institution. Michelle's is ALWAYS clean, well stocked and full of Panamanian pride. I'm not Panamanian or Caribbean, but one need not be to feel what it means to have a place to gather where folk understand you, celebrate you and welcome you. I certainly wish a younger sect will discover this place and respect it enough to want to see it remain forever. Now, I do wish they'd bring someone on to introduce some classic cocktails and how to execute them. Some of the ingredients they use for cocktails have fallen out of favor long ago. Keep shining Team Michelle's!!!

    I really love this cocktail bar. And for strange reason, in my early 20's, I used to hang out at…read moresuper divey old man bars. The drinks were strong. The bartenders were friendly. I had some amazing conversations and met some really great people. That bar was The Old Gallery. And this gives me those vibes except it's less divey, more Caribbean food with a West Indian vibe. That's my people so I fit right in. The bartender is great. We had amazing conversations. The other patrons were friendly and the drinks were uncomplicated. Just straight up, just the way I like it. Vodka Cran please! Light on the Cran! I came here after grocery shopping at Stop & Shop. And once after I got a tattoo. Hey! Don't judge me! It was tiny! Like one of those from a Cracker Jack box. Anyway, it's no frills but also just what I needed. I haven't had the food but it always smells amazing and everyone says it's really good. I'm sad I didn't get to back for the past few weeks. Now indoor dining is shutting some places down. I really hope these beloved places survive and we all can see each other on the other side with a shot in hand and a smile.

    Note: this review is only for the daytime. Night time service is not included…read more When Ruth first opened, I looked inside. Since it was a cocktail bar, the food menu was sparse at the time. I put it in my back pocket as a place I might go in the future. I was recently walking in the area when I noticed a sign saying it was open for coffee. Of course I went to check it out. At the main counter, they serve the classics (mocha, latte, chai, matcha) plus a few specials. My cookie butter matcha (with oat and flavored syrup) was less than 6 dollars. It wasn't my favorite matcha, it was a pretty good deal in comparison to other cafes in the area. They have a coffee club where you pay $40 a month for free drinks (coffee or tea based), 10% of items like cocktails, food and wine. Plus you are able to use their wifi in their space which has a funky plush aesthetic. Definitely good for people who need a place to work. It is an interesting way of using this space in the morning. Of course I was told about their happy hour and the jazz Mondays. I would come back to attend that.

    Wow - what a great little spot!!!…read more Ruth is not on the beaten path for me, but I was heading down to King's Theatre for a concert and looking for a nice bar for pre-gaming. And, guess what? Ruth was just what the doctor ordered. So how would I describe Ruth? It's a cross between a speakeasy and a trendy neighborhood bar... and they serve up some tasty drinks and snacks!!! The interior is cozy with a number of arranged seating areas so parties of folks can gather together. The bar area has stool seating where you can watch the bartender make drinks... and there's even a separate back room area that looks like it could be rented out for private events. As for bartenders and staff, they are all awesome!!! Final thoughts = if you are nearby and ready for a nice drink, hit up Ruth. You'll be happy you did!
