Great option for dinner. Lots of new staff when I went but the service and food were great. Will go back again. Plantains were the best thing we had so recommend a dish that has those.

Shouldn't be marketed as “Caribbean” at all. Out of place. Ambiance had American football and Afrobeats playing. Food has the ingredients but not the soul of the islands. Do not eat here expecting authentic Caribbean cuisine.

We get together once every 2to3 months to catch up and connect so, we didn't let the substandard food and service get in our way!

The restaurant is vibrant and ALL of the staff are lovely. The area of town is not the best but you are transported as soon as you enter the door. This is my 5th time here and my favourites are the Mussels and Guacamole, so delish. My husband always gets the oxtail. He is from Jamaica and says it is legit. The drinks are so tasty! I always get the Dark and Stormy. The drinks are on another level but you have to wait forever for them. It is the same every time I go. I always wonder why they do not have more bartenders. I would have had at least another round if I had the chance. Afterwards we went downstairs for a dance. They have DJs on the weekend who play Reggae and last night lots of Afro Beats. This place is a real gem.

Amazing food, really good cocktails and nice Afro/Caribbean music. I'll definitely visit again.
Update- I went there again and they nailed it yet again. Way to go guys.

Ok this place has changed hands since I dined here years ago. The Jamaican pattys were not the same and the food fell flat. I was disappointed. Drinks were ok.

Calabash is a very welcoming place, the food and drinks are delicious and the service was impeccable.

I had a great time with my lady! We were celebrating our anniversary. My ginger-beer rum drink was perfect - tasty and made me feel happy ;) Jerk chicken meal was exactly what I was craving. And they surprised us with a couple's matching drink. <3 We'll be back!

The food was pretty good, better then most Caribbean places in Vancouver. Service was not great and neither were the drinks. One server in particular that we had was very monotone and didn’t make any effort to provide a warm experience. Cool vibe though and loved the downstairs space.
