My friend wanted to have her celebration here. When we arrived at 8 p.m., there weren't a lot of people there, but they had just started arriving. Parking is $20 and is valet located behind the restaurant. As the night went on, it got packed. The drinks were good, and the food was okay. The jerk chicken was just okay, and the greens had a sweet and spicy taste. The waitress Shay was friendly and knowledgeable. We only had the table for 90 minutes, and around that time, they will ask you to get up. I think it's a nice vibe for dancing, with good music and drinks.
The oxtail pasta was 10/10 really flavorful, empanadas were okay, fried snapper good but i prefer the black rice that was once on the menu- did not care for this rice too much in the photo i have attached, plantains you really can not do wrong. The service was excellent as well as a dark lighted ambiance in which i always enjoy - gives it a vibe. I sure will return but id try the snapper maybe grilled or however else outside of fried.
This was almost my first 10/10 dining experience, and Rock Steady absolutely delivered. From the moment the food hit the table, everything was incredible. The customer service was amazing!! Shout out to our waiter. We started with the collard green dip topped with crawfish. At first, I wasn't sure how I felt about the texture, but after a few bites I was hooked. The collard greens held up beautifully, and the crawfish on top was seasoned perfectly. Next, we had the lamb egg roll, and wow. It was filled with tender, juicy stewed lamb, and the sauce served alongside it took it to another level. Every bite was packed with flavor. My sister ordered the coconut curry salmon with coconut rice and couldn't stop talking about how delicious it was. I had the jerk chicken with Haitian rice and collard greens, and honestly, it was one of the best meals I've had in a very long time. Everything was flavorful, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. The only downside for us was the drinks. This is where they lost points. We tried one of their signature drinks that resembled a piña colada and didn't care for it. Later, we ordered a lemon drop upstairs and didn't enjoy that either. If I went back, I'd probably just stick with water and focus on the food. After dinner, we headed upstairs to the gallery/lounge area, and that's where the night really took off. The music was amazing, the crowd was fun and welcoming, and we danced all night. The artwork throughout the space is beautiful and adds so much character to the experience. Great food, great atmosphere, great music, and an unforgettable night. Rock Steady gave me my first 10/10 dining experience, and I can't wait to come back.
First time trying this well known upscale dining carribean Haitian inspired restaurant. Such a vibe right in the heart of Atlanta. We didn't have a reservation but the hostess was able to take us in less than 20 Minutes. Our server Mariah was very kind , made sure we had specific needs for our entrees. I had the salmon in a light earthy curry with coconut rich spinach and carrots that was delish. Others in my party enjoyed their dishes as well. Great music , food, and fun. I would definitely return.
First visit, Friday night, full house. Seating was a bit limited for our party of 11; I had the corner of a table, but otherwise sufficient (-1). Service was great, drinks not so much, a bit loud with people and music in a relatively small space, food was the star of the night. We had the Janga Dip, Mango Hot Honey Shrimp, and Shrimp & Crawfish Vegetable Curry Pasta... all great choices! Can't wait for the return trip... tonight!
Took my sister here for her birthday. Dinner was really nice. Loved our server. I had the griot and especially liked the pikliz that it came with. After dinner, we went upstairs to the lounge/bar. We didn't have reservations, but the host kindly seated us at a booth until the reserved party arrived. Love her for that! Overall, a great night out. 5/5.
All about atmosphere! Loveeeee 10/10 for the vibes curated from the restaurant to the upstairs lounge. Love a moody but classy place where music is going but not too loud you can't talk. Food was bite size but very good Rock steady wings 10/10 Empanadas 10/10 Service was top teir all the way around. Very clean, spacious, and really and great dinner & dancing place. Went on a Thursday & enjoyed every minute.
So this is a very lounge type situation. So if you're into lounges this will be a good shop for you to take. I suggest going on and then bright and reserving. But also read the fine print. The last time that I went I got entry but it was only for standing role in. I probably should have paid more attention to what I was signing up for. But let's learn so now I can tell you that. Anyway, before that, you'll get there. You'll park on the street. Or in a parking structure or whatever. But basically you kind of get it how you live. It's pay parking no matter where you go. You go to the front of the building which is facing the main street and you'll go upstairs. If you go to the side that's where the dining room area is and if you're not eating then you probably don't want to go there. Go to the front and walk upstairs after they check you. The drinks there are okay. Went there for a couple, and ended up leaving. Now because I reserve one thing and not another, they actually just basically kicked us out at an hour because other people are coming. While I wasn't really a fan of that, I understood why because technically the people who are coming made a reservation. So I totally get that. All I'm saying is check your reservation notes. It was a good vibe, when I went there. Live DJ there so that was pretty cool as well. I appreciate it. Some good aesthetics and some good music. Would I go back again, yeah I would, I'd probably go back under better circumstances to where I actually would reserve like I wouldn't until it the first time. And actually be able to enjoy the night. But for the quick duck end it was actually pretty decent. Some really good music being played.
The best food I've had in a while!! Atmosphere was very mature, LOVE that! The drinks were made perfectly! The staff was kind and gave great recommendations.. they also have a lounge upstairs.. the manger was kind enough to let us skip the line after dining at the restaurant.. 10/ 10 definitely recommend.
Service: I made a reservation because I heard this spot can get packed (wall to wall), unfortunately I was late but the hostess (with a smile) seated us immediately. Ambiance: The minute you walk in, you feel the vibe of a romantic vacation. The decor was very colorful, calming, and organized nicely. Only change recommended is add a lil lighting (too dark) and adjust temperature (too cold). Food/drinks: Our server Lamar was the BEST; very knowledgeable about the food & drink selections, funny, and efficient!! We ordered a few small plates; Jerk Lamb Rolls and Grill Jerk Wings. The lamb was a lil tuff, but the Jerk Wings were delicious! Our cocktail "Dem Suga" was strong, so drink with caution (for the light drinkers) LOL!! The jerk wings were so good, I ordered the Grilled Jerk Chicken, with collard greens, Diri Kole Rice, but as I'm typing I just realized my plantains were missing (blame it on the drink lol). The jerk chicken & greens were so flavorful, however the rice was a lil dry. As for Oxtail Rigatoni it was different choice selection than accustomed to, but not bad. Dessert to end the night, we loved the STICKY TOFFEE RUM CAKE and the BREAD PUDDING! Sorry no pics, took to go. ATTENTION: I wanted to give 5 stars because we had such a great night, but I was disappointed with the 20% automatic gratuity (for a party of 2) which was for the house only. In addition, we tipped another 20% to our waiter (well deserved though). This automatic gratuity is becoming the norm (my fault for not checking the notation on the menu prior to making a reservation) for many restaurants. Well...I always look on the bright side. I enjoyed the night, ate good, and met a nice couple with full of laughs all night!
Wow! Came into town and was so happy that I was recommend to go to this place. Although the wait was long the food being as good as it was made it an after thought. We sat in the communal dining area which was cute and intimate. Entree: BERBERE LAMB CHOPS sooo good and flavorful love the yogurt sauce that was paired with it. Got JANGA DIP and the GRILLED JERK WINGSwl with bbq for apps and I am still thinking about that Dip! There's also a lounge attached up stairs that had a great DJ and also offers dining services!
I enjoyed my visit to Rock Steady on a weekday evening. The restaurant has a beautiful ambiance. Service was top notch, and my meal and drink were delicious. I had the spicy ginger griot with pikliz and a side of diri kole with the Caribbean 69 cocktail. The entire experience, including valet parking, can be a little on the pricier sides.
Made reservations to celebrate a friend's birthday at Rock Steady this past Sunday and had an amazing time. I was scared initially because I was doing meatless for the month and didn't think I could find anything on the menu. But, that thought was quickly debunked. I ordered the pineapple jerk cauliflower which was arguably the best thing I've ever tasted. The server even offered to make one of the entrees vegetarian, but I was so full from the cauliflower I couldn't indulge. We ordered the bredda bredda and hot stepper cocktails. My friend had the lamb egg rolls and the daily catch rundown with salmon. Everything was superb! After dinner we went to their lounge area upstairs and danced ALL NIGHT LONG! A time was had.
I've been to Rock Steady a few times but for some reason this visit was most impressive. My girlfriends and I started with the janga dip appetizer (10/10!) which was incredible. It was loaded with crawfish and instead of the typical spinach dip, it was made with collard greens which was a nice touch. The only thing I complained about was not having more! For drinks, we ordered the lychee martinis which were not lacking in flavor or alcohol. Loved. For the mains, we ordered the curry goat and rice entree (8/10), the mango hot honey shrimp (9/10), and oxtail rigatoni (8/10). Each dish had really strong flavor profiles which we really enjoyed. Overall it was a great visit and the staff were very professional and friendly. read more

We had the best time at Rock Steady for my birthday this month! First, the vibes in the place are immaculate. The decors and art are top tier! Jiggy Korea- killed it per always with the art!! The food was on point, the staff was kind and accommodating. I had 15 people in my party and they handled everything smoothly! From appetizers to serving the cake my friends surprised me with! We ended the night at The Gallery, Rock Steady's lounge/night club where the music was on point and our section for 20 was well taken care of! All in all a great time from start to finish! Great food. Great Vibes. Great Music. We'll stay regulars! read more
Really great spot for dinner. Great for a date night or night out. There is a lounge upstairs if you want extra in the night life. Everything on the menu is done with a lot of thought and creativity. The inside is also a beautiful design... feels cozy. Worth a visit and taste. read more

I'm a little nervous writing this review because...I don't want my favorite spot to become so busy they don't have space for me! Run don't walk to Rock Steady!! The food and ambiance at rock steady are AMAZING! My friend and I made a late reservation (10:15pm) and were seated rapidly. Our server, Vaughn, was friendly and knowledgeable. We ordered the the wings, plantain and tostones for appetizer. Let me tell you something about the food at Rock steady...it is some of the best food I've ever had. The wings were big, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. They had the right amount of sauce. And all food is made to order and you can certainly taste it. My friends oxtail pasta was so good we were licking the plate. I have had dreams about this food since we ate there! It was a long wait before receiving our entrees (about 1 hour-1.5 hours). Order right when you sit down. We didn't care too much because we were so full off of the appetizer and the music was good by the time the mains arrived we had digested and our stomachs were ready again. read more

After dress shopping with my God mother, we stopped by Rock Steady for an early birthday lunch/dinner. We valeted in the parking lot (like I normally do and walked in. I didn't make reservations prior because it was a spontaneous decision on my end, so we had to wait at the bar until a table was available. Literally in the midst of us about to make a drink order, our table was ready. We were greeted by our waiter (I forgot his name) and he gave my god mother several suggestions since this was her first time dining here. We ordered the jerk lamb egg rolls as an appetizer with a glass of Riesling and an espresso martini. For dinner, I went with the veggie curry Alfredo with shrimp and my god mother had their honey mango shrimp, but the sauce was on the side. Overall, my god mother was impressive and loved the restaurant. Our waiter surprised her with a delicious birthday treat to top the night. I will continue to return to Rock Steady for the vibes and food. read more

I love a place where you can come as you want and have an amazing time either way. Dress up for the ball, or come in sweats either way you will enjoy your time here. I started with the beef empanadas , and it was delicious. That orange sauce it came with really took it to the next level. THE FISSHHHH !!! Oh my goodness! Absolutely delish. Crusted perfectly with a picklizz thats not too spicy but adds a little kick. I added the cauliflower as a side even though it's an appetizer . Man oh man it was delicious. Not your typical jerk flavor. A touch of heat but more so sweet. I was ton between the apple dessert and the plantain one. I have to say, I would probably pick the apple one if I was going back again. The plantain bread budding had a nice taste and the ice cream was different. I just didn't like the bread pudding had dry parts. It wasn't evenly soaked or dredged soo not every bite was consistent in the taste . Service was great. There's also a club upstairs. I wanted to check it out but the line was long and they were charging at the door. I'm not sure if it's free before 12 but maybe next time read more
Went for the day party during Labor Day weekend. Great vibes & music. My only complaint is that the drinks tasted more like juice or puree and was not worth it for the price. I did hear that the food here is really good so maybe I'll go back & stick to just ordering food. read more
I brought in the new year at Rock Steady with a group of friends and we had the time of our lives. We arrived around 11:30 pm so the place was already packed, but luckily, we were able to get a table by the DJ booth. In no time, the servers came over to bring drinks and take our food orders. Since there were about 10 of us, we ordered different dishes to sample. Everything tasted PHENOMENAL; from the jerk wings, to the red snapper with rice, and even the Brussel sprouts. The servers were extra efficient when placing the dishes on the table and make sure we had water or anything else we needed. The DJs were playing upbeat songs and definitely catered to the Caribbean and mixed age group of the night. I would definitely suggest this place to anyone looking for an elevated dinner or even a lively night in the city. read more
We decided to come here for our annual friends holiday dinner. Parking - I did valet, which was $20-25 my friends parked on the street or Ubered. Always look for street parking first. Service: We made reservations, but we didn't have to wait at all. They run a tight ship there lol you get 2 hrs to eat, food comes out quickly and our server was kind and attentive. The 2 hrs can be a put intense but I was fine with it. Ambience/crowd: I would say mid to late thirties is the youngest. Very young professionals crowd and the ambience is very date night sexy vibe. Food/drink:10/10 no notes on the food, I'm not a huge drinker so I had tequila and soda. The pasta with salmon is perfection Favorite thing: the vibe and food! Least favorite thing: the time limit but I get it at the same time. Will I be back? And Why - Yes!!! Gotta try everything on the menu. read more

Very chic ambiance, can't forget about the upper deck that has the lounge/club. No complaints about the service, honestly surprised on how fast they seemed with many customers. Food was flavorful and felt fresh! Just be prepared to spend your money read more
Birthday dinner for 4 We approached the property, passed the restaurant and made that first right turn off of Marietta street. After I made the turn, I saw the sign for valet parking. I pulled in and the attendant took my phone number and advised I would receive a text with my valet ticket and I could pay via the app or with cash when I returned. So parking was convenient but be prepared to spend $20 plus tip. I dropped off my key fob and we took the short walk over to the restaurant. I approached the host podium, was greeted warmly and advised we had a reservation. She quickly checked us in and asked us to stand to the side, while they wrapped up our table. Soon after we were scooped up, led through the dimly lit dining room to a nice sized table that could have easily accommodated about 6-7 people. It was located in the middle of the dining room so we got a nice view of everything. We were provided menus and a few minutes later our server Rami came over and gave us the full rundown of the menu, highlighting some of the more popular items. He advised that the menu and restaurant leaned into the Afro Caribbean culture. We could definitely tell that from the music mix they were playing in the background. He gave us some time to take in his suggestions and fully review the menu, then returned with some waters and we were ready with our order. For drinks, Wifey and I tried a Haitian lager called Prestige and my daughters both ordered the Guava Island mocktail. Wifey added the Tostones & Plaintains appetizer. We asked a few questions about the entries and Rami had clear answers and let us know all possible options. I ordered the Jerk chicken meal and Wifey ordered the Shrimp and Grits. My oldest ordered the Oxtail Rigatoni and my youngest ordered the Berbere Lamb Chops. The drinks came out quickly and soon after all the food was coming out. Everything looked delicious, with generous portion sizes. We all started digging in and the food tasted even better than it looked. My Jerk chicken, which came with collard greens and rice and peas, had great seasoning. Sometimes Jerk chicken can be too spicy and I usually ask the spice level before I order, but this time I took a leap of faith. As we were talking around the table there were zero complaints about any of the food. Wifey finished all of her Shrimp and Grits while the rest of us had a little bit to take home in to go boxes. As we were packing up our server brought over a complimentary birthday dessert for my daughter. It was a small Pineapple Coconut cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. A few of us shared it and it was very good. In addition to the complimentary dessert, we placed a to go order for 2 Sticky Toffee Rum Cake and 1 Plantain Bread Pudding. As we were settling up the bill, the manager Eric came by to check our experience. We had nothing but great things to report. 5/5 stars all the way around. Clean interior, fast and pleasant service, delicious food and our server Rami was a winner. He was pleasant, animated and very knowledgeable about the menu. I will say the place is a little pricey, with 20% gratuities automatically added for a party of 4, but I would definitely recommend Rock Steady for any occasion. We also found out that there was a lounge on the second level that was playing RnB music that night. We will have to check that out next time. read more
NYE we celebrated a friends birthday here due to their promo found on Instagram. We arrived and waited 30minutes to be seated despite having a reservation. This was a non-issue in our case since we wanted to take pictures before eating. Once we were seated our server came to take drink orders in a timely fashion. Drinks took about 20 minutes to get to the table but they were good. When ordering your drinks if you don't specify that you want to switch out the type of liquor in your drink they will add it as a shot and add the price to the total of the drink. Anything that isn't shown on the menu drink wise-- except to spend $22+. When we asked our waitress what she thought was good her response was "stick to the appetizers", we listened. The majority of the table ordered the Brussel sprouts and lamb egg rolls which taste great for what it was. By the end of our meal we felt the service was pretty good, when it came to pay, our checks were screwed up immensely. That being said - 20% GRATUITY IS CHARGED TO ALL TABS/ TABS CAN ONLY SPLIT FOUR WAYS. This is mentioned on the menu and site a few times so don't forget! After all was paid and done we headed upstairs for the NYE party, it was packed. If you're in your early 20s like us be mindful of the older crowd/vibe. The Dj's both upstairs and downstairs were awesome but I may be biased since I am Jamaican. we were unsure of the vibe and if we wanted to stay. A kind gentleman let me and my friends sit in his section and got us drinks since we didn't get one beforehand. Needless to say we had good time but after about an hour or so the music cycle started over. We used ride-share so I'm not sure about the parking debacle Ended the night feeling safe and had a good bit of fun! read more
My score is a 3.5 The ambiance was warm & dim. It set the mood for the restaurant. I like the decor that they had. The art that they had around the restaurant was stunning. The restaurant had long tables and stools as a set up. They had music playing and it was a vibe the whole entire night. The food was haitian inspired/infused which was a wonderful delight. The fried snapper was delicious , the Diri Djon Djon was ok. Our table tried out the a lot of the seafood dishes and the jerk chicken dish. The flavor profile of the jerk chicken dish ( sauce) was not traditional. We had the tostones & sweet plantains and the tostones were fried well & seasoned. We tried their specialty drinks and enjoyed them. Overall, the ambiance of this restaurant was perfection and we enjoyed our food. read more
Stopped in to get a bite to eat after attending an event upstairs. Upstairs has a separate bar and more of a lounge vibe while the restaurant has a sensual vibe to it very nice. The service was pretty good despite gratuity being automatically included and there's a 90 minute maximum on the tables. Now onto the food we got small bites and a couple of cocktails and they were absolutely delicious. My favorite was the lamb egg rolls and the sun goddess . Everything came out quick and was actually delicious. I will definitely be back. read more

Consistency, consistency, consistency. Rock steady consistently provides the atmosphere, food and service. Things to know: valet is $20. There is street parking and a garage nearby. 20% Gratuity is automatically placed on the bill. After dinner there is a lounge upstairs. Tuesday is for amapiano, Wednesday is for dancehall/reggae, Thursday is for Rnb. The layout strongly favors buying a bottle/ getting a section. But the crowd is a good looking one and the vibes are always nice. Standouts from last night were the jerk lamb egg rolls, always delish, the lamb chops and my drink (Bredda Bredda) read more

We celebrated our daughter's birthday at this restaurant and what an excellent choice. The food was superb! We started out with tostones and plantains for an appetizer, delicious. For my main course I had the tomato shrimp and grits...my God today! I paired it with a Prestige lager, perfecto! The service was excellent...thank you, Romy! He was attentive and gave us good vibes. The ambiance was beautifully dim lit and good vibes with music to complement the scenery. The manager, Eric stopped by to check on our experience and we were happy to share our compliments. Thank you, Rock Steady! read more

They definitely have a great vibe, music is always good & bumping. The food is hit or miss sometimes, but most of the time it's good. Their drinks could be a little stronger, especially for the price, but they still taste good. Rock Steady is really just the best at curating fun vibes. read more

I've been to Rock Steady a few times & I'll say this - the main dishes are a hit or miss BUT the desserts are good & the dranks are strong. The service is usually cool from the hostess to the wait staff. It's a grown & sexy vibe, so it's perfect for date night or a cute girls night out. If you just so happen to be off on Wednesdays or go in late, I definitely recommend Bamba Tuesdays - if you love & appreciate Afrobeats. It's a Vibe. read more
I really wanted to love this place. I love the vibe and the music. Made a reservation for 9:15 pm on a Saturday. We arrived 10 minutes early but were not seated until 10:15 pm. Ladies please save your feet and do not wear shoes that you cannot comfortably stand in because you will be standing and waiting. The lamb egg rolls were good. My husband's jerk chicken was meh. My salmon was flavorful and cooked well but was the dish was incomplete - missing rice and needed to be plated differently. It was weird trying to eat a soupy dish that wasn't meant to be soup - green beans should have been cut smaller if you are going to sell the dish in a soup form. I won't be returning because the food did not deliver and the wait was too long for a reservation. read more
Rock steady has been a vibe for years. Always a good time, always great service. Great place to meet people. Everytime I've gone here that was not a date, I've met someone. The food, not my favorite. Definitely a good after hours place to go regardless. The restaurant on the 1st floor is aesthetically nice in the day or night. However, the food and the menu have never impressed me. Still one of my go to places for dates and girls night out. read more

Eat With Me at Rock Steady--were talking Afro-Caribbean flavors, lychee martinis, moody ambiance, delicious food, and great service! Stopped by on a Friday night for a double-date around 10PM and it was the perfect time to visit. It was 404 day so we weren't able to make it upstairs and check out the lounge, the line was long--but we'll be back soon! GOOD EATS-- *Caribbean Spiced Beef Empanadas with house-made curry dough and mojo rojo sauce *Braised Jerk Lamb Eggrolls with peppers, onions, and provolone *Crispy Fried Brussels Sprouts with a tangy tamarind glaze and toasted sesame seeds *Whole Bone-In Oxtail Rigatoni *Sautéed Salmon with baby spinach, Brussel, sweet potatoes, broccolini, and coconut mango curry sauce *Haitian Whole Fried Snapper (Head On) with haitian mushroom rice + Peas, and fried sweet plantains read more

First time here and this place is a vibe. The food was flavorful and overall tasted great. The atmosphere was welcoming and worth a trip back. There's also an upstairs area you can enjoy with music as well, will check that out next visit. The staff was also welcoming and attentive. read more

Is this restaurant overly loud? Wanting to go for a birthday dinner but my grandparents will be there as well.
Yes the upstairs part is louder downstairs has music but not as loud
How does this restaurant split the bill for large groups?
They have little handheld credit card readers that each individual can pay on. We were a party of 9 and everyone paid individually :) Enjoy!
Is there a Age requirement?
I don't think there is for the restaurant, but they did check ID to get in the upstairs lounge.
Is there a cover charge?
No, there isn't a cover charge. But it is highly recommended you make reservations on their site, if you like to get seated.
Are there any nights where the DJ *doesn't* play house music?
I'm not sure I went on a Saturday & went to the lounge upstairs they played old R&B
Am I likely to get a table if I walk up on a Saturday?
Not likely. Reservations are highly recommended. You will wait if you don't have a reservation.
How's parking? Easy? Valet? Public?? Public, but plan to walk some blocks to the establishment? lol
$15 for valet. There's street parking near the restaurant and a free parking garage down the street in Le Fat and BarTaco. Parking is limited.
