We were planning a surprise party and the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything went off without a hitch; the coordination and attention to detail were incredible. The food was outstanding across the board, with real Caribbean flavor, clearly made with care. The rooftop ambiance set the perfect tone for the night: great vibes, beautiful setting, exactly what you want for a special occasion. But honestly, the service is what took this from great to unforgettable. The ladies working that night were amazing; warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our celebration special. You could tell they actually cared about giving us a great experience, not just going through the motions. If you're in NYC and looking for a spot to celebrate something special (or just want a great night out), Caribbean Soul Rooftop on Merrick Blvd needs to be on your list.

They have all sorts of worn out seating which hey, at least you will find a chair... but the set up is just very frumpy. They have food, but it wasn't very good. At least you can make yourself a little salad or something. They have a bar which is nice, and various wines. So that's always nice. But by the time I had made it to this lounge I wasn't in the party mood... big long story but JFK is not my favorite airport. We were flying to Frankfurt business class on Condor and so the lounge experience pretty much set the tone for the first flight. Basically we were happy to have it and it's better than the normal, but you aren't going to go bragging They do have a bathroom in the lounge, so there is that.

Overall: 1 star This…read morelounge is really sad because it looks as worn down and neglected as the terminal itself, Terminal 7 at JFK. While the entrance is bright and inviting, the inside is dull and somber; the bathroom does not have proper lighting nor a container for the paper towels so it looks like one of an abandoned warehouse. The food options consisted of a salad, instant miso soup, a protein, a starch, and a cooked greens, which does hit all the food groups but is not one that I would seek to spend my time at the airport prior. The drink option was more inviting though, from fresh fruit juices to a reasonable spirit, wine, and beer selection. The space is really cramped with lots of people, which is strange because some areas are partially blocked off, and the access to this lounge is severely restrictive to block out credit card access. Therefore, this is unfortunately a lounge that is not worth it at all. Food: -1 Drinks: +1 Access: -1 Atmosphere: -1 Service: E Amenities: -1 Insta/Beli/Yelp/TikTok: @amei_eats

This was the closest dining establishment that served alcohol by our gate, so we stopped by. It is pretty small and cramped, but we managed to find two seats along the window facing the planes. It was hard to fit in the area as people tend to put bags on seats, etc. Plus the walkway to the kitchen is right there so you feel like you are in the way. Food wise, I liked my salad. Could have done without the chips as I really just wanted greens, veggies, and protein. For $26, it was obviously on the smaller side, but hey, it's an airport resto. My drink was all right. Kinda weak in the liquor and spice department, but fine for sipping. My friend seemed to enjoy his food and cocktail. I wish there were more options in this area of the airport. But this will do if I want a drink. REVIEW #4023

The floral displays are fun and are probably the highlight of the visit. The space is clearly designed for photos, and I can see why it would be popular for birthdays, showers, or other special occasions. They seem to go the extra mile when it comes to creating a celebratory atmosphere. Service was excellent from start to finish. The staff at reception and at the table were attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Food-wise, we tried the Kung Pao calamari and wagyu meatballs after seeing other reviewers rave about them, but both felt a little gimmicky to me. Our group mostly stuck with more traditional brunch items, including breakfast burritos and omelettes, and those were fine. Overall, I would not necessarily come here just for the food, but I would recommend it for the atmosphere, service, and special-occasion vibe. It is a great spot if you want a pretty setting, good hospitality, and plenty of photo-friendly areas.
