Food is solid Jamaican fare. Oxtails are meaty and tender. With traditional rice and Peas, which could've used a likkle more love, as the rice was overcooked and not many peas. With gravy, almost mush but seasoned good tho. Appreciated the Steamed carrots. Needed more. Also, only came with 1 small broccoli stem. Plate was majority rice. Jerk Chicken is heavily browned, seasoned well but baked not grilled. If it is grilled, its a gas grill & no Pimento leaves, while also being buried in tons of sauce. Carrot cake was delicious. Light and not overly sweet. Golden raisins give a nice touch! Frosting is decadent but not cloying. Honestly, would give a 3.8 vs solid 4 but Service was exceptional and efficient. Overall, would definitely revisit. More for an intimate dining experience vs. large group.

We had reservations for 8:30pm and the party was just getting started, with the space essentially turning into a lounge with a DJ. Highly recommend trying their amazing dishes! If you're trying to have a quieter dinner where you can converse easily with your table - I recommend an earlier reservation. Will definitely be back!

It's pretty good. The vibe of this place is a typical restaurant with the Lighting and The photo sections. The drinks are OK. I look when I order my margaritas. I just would like to add some patron to it. The service isn't too bad. The restaurant is pretty small so just keep that mindful when you are going with a large group.

It came out juicy, tender and flavorful, even more so when I added the extra jerk sauce that came on the side. Chef Cani told me that he used the back leg of the pork. Too bad Jerk On The Water does not sell any alcohol. I would have paired the pork with an ice cold bottle of Red Stripe Beer. This is a take out place with some outdoor seating overlooking the water. There are four tables outside, each of which has three chairs. CAVEAT EMPTOR: CASH ONLY AT THE WINDOW OR PAY BY CARD AT THE KIOSK!!! However, the kiosk's menu was hard to read due to the sunlight.

Leon, who is extremely enthusiastic and just down right a cool cat, greated me at the window. I was torn between jerk shrimp or jerk chicken, but went with this recommendation based on how substantial the chicken portion is. It was ready in only 15 minutes and once I got home, I quickly dug in. I knew I could probably save about half of it for lunch today, but it was just so darn delicious that I devoured the entire platter in one sitting. Haven't tried them yet? Give them a shot and tell em Jared sent ya.. they'll laugh for sure.

I love to support black owned businesses and they are definitely worthy of being supported. The food is pretty good and portions are good. The service is friendly and quick! I've only tried the Jerk chicken so far which was delicious! I always request oxtail gravy on my rice, so I was able to get a taste of what their Oxtails taste like since there were a couple small pieces of the oxtail meat mixed in with the gravy and Omg it was Good!! I will most definitely be trying their Oxtails next!

We were totally blown away, the jerk pork was so well seasoned, that even the fat was beautifully caramelized and infused with lots of spices, the rice and peas made to perfection, the curry chicken (dark meat) was melt in your mouth, lots of sauce and a nice touch of all spice all around.

Saffron pasta with salmon..ohms, it was a "Rasta pasta spin" Oh waitress was such a delight, fun good energy & attentive. We celebrated a birthday & tried Hookah(fun). The Hookah gentleman was knowledgeable and helpful, also diligently kept our "tower/bong" going (I dont know the official terms). The DJ played all the 90's R&b hits, there's a super lounge nightclub meets exclusive restaurant experience. The bill was higher then expected; the signature drinks that came served in 750ml bottles were not priced in the menu & there was a Birthday Celebration fee. We had such a great time, no complaints!!

The ambience is awesome. I give it to them. Especially as you walk in although it has a sort of…read moreValentine day feel to it. The food was ok. I ordered the oxtail and didn't really like the sauce but that's a personal thing. I ordered the curry goat and salmon burger to take home as well as calamari. None were really great, just ok. The calamari at the restaurant had some peppers and ginger which gave it a kick. The one I ordered to go had nothing but fried calamari, unfortunately I was home so couldn't take it back. The drinks!! I am definitely skipping this next time. A cocktail is $48 plus gratuity and tax means spending $55 on a cocktail drink. Nooooo!!! Even in Vegas, I didn't spend this much on a cocktail drink! I was alarmed at my check. It was so high for lunch but now I know better. Plus watch out for the 22% gratuity! The waiter wouldn't split the bill so my takeout was lumped into the entire check and had to pay 22% gratuity on the takeout!!) I gave a low score because of the sneaky high check and the food which was just ok. The food presentation was amazing though. That's a 10/10.

Lunch starts at around 11:30am 2) not everything is available every day We tried the goat curry (medium), jerk chicken (large), chicken patty, and spicy beef patty. At first , it seemed pricey, but I can safely say, EVERYTHING WAS VERY WORTH. large jerk chicken is enough for two full meals. I'm a grown male and I barely ate half in one sitting. (Tip: ask for the ox tail sauce/gravy on the chicken and rice!) My favorite item hands down was the spicy beef patty though. Homemade. Full of flavor. Crunchy and flaky. Will definitely visit again

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. Already planning our next visit!

Between the individuals in our party, we ordered calamari, thai curry mussels, red red snapper with the sweet, spicy sauce and without, lamb chops and six boss.
