“La atencion y el ambience agradable“

“Authentic Haitian Food... Best Griot in Town..“

“My first time DELICIOUS......didn't have to beg for extra gravy on my food offered.....Staff was pleasant“

“Estuve con mi esposa en nuestro date night de siempre en Mordisco, y como siempre, una experiencia excelente. El chupe de pollo estuvo simplemente divino: lleno de sabor, reconfortante y perfectamente preparado. Cada visita nos recuerda por qué este lugar es uno de nuestros favoritos.“

“Mangrove is an absolute gem in downtown Miami. From the moment you walk in, the service is excellent, warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The space feels cozy and inviting, making it easy to relax and really enjoy the experience.

The cocktails deserve special mention. They’re thoughtfully crafted and perfectly balanced. The Natural Mystic was outstanding, so good I couldn’t resist having more than one.

As for the food, everything we tried was phenomenal. The wings were packed with flavor, the lamb chops were cooked beautifully, and the curry oxtail was truly to die for—rich, comforting, and deeply satisfying. The dishes do lean on the spicy side, so if you’re sensitive to heat, keep that in mind. Personally, I loved every single bite.

This is one of those places that gets everything right: service, drinks, food, and atmosphere. I’ll definitely be returning.“

“Good place for Trinidad food - boneless chicken (curry) roti and doubles are my regulars. You can also find Carib beer and Solo among other favorite Carinbean soft drinks. There is some seating but prefer take out. Price of roti is about ten dollars and they take cash only. Definitely recommend you try this tasty food“

“Excellent service at Metropol Dolphin Mall. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was beautiful, and everything was handled with professionalism. A special thank you to for providing outstanding service — she was attentive, friendly, and made our experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!“

“I have been a long time visitor at Jamrock but I don’t feel like a visitor when I go there, I feel like family. It is a destination for my out of town family as well. The food is amazing and the people even better! Thank you for bringing a piece of Jamaica to Miami. 😀“

“everything ,I can't say enough about their food I just love it. need to come to ROANOKE, VA.“

“Gave this place a try and definitely was not disappointed. The food was beyond amazing and the employees were extremely nice. We were traveling from Boston and were looking for some authentic food. Ended up going to eat there twice during our stay. Will definitely go back when we return to Miami.“

“I always stop at this place when I'm in the area. It was the first pan-Caribbean (Haitian?) spot I ate at when I moved here. I was grabbing an Uber eats order and figured I'd get some as well for me and the wife - FI-YUUUUUUUH!🔥🔥🔥

The food here is so delicious and the have all the Caribbean fair at a good price and very convenient. Man I grabbed some jerk chicken for the first time and rice n'peas yesterday with the oxtail sauce on the rice - the first bite was so flavorful and came with spicy punch. The server hooked me up with a generous portion too. Mesi!“

“This was unexpected surprise for a hotel Restaurant. We were staying in a nearby hotel with no restaurant and we’re able to walk to this one. My wife had the shrimp salad sliders and I had a bowl with Carnitas. Both were excellent. I got more pico and it made the bowl even better by doubling the pico. My wife had the aperol spritz. She thoroughly enjoyed it and was amazed how good it was compared to what she expected. Our server, Dani, was also excellent!“

“Dios les bendiga están makia bless up“

“flavor and presentation. taste buds were going crazy. I can't wait to go back and try a different dish“

“A plus if you speak and understand espanol as that is the primary form of communication here. Stopped in the evening for a game of pool, they have 2 tables. Not a large place, but large enough for a small to 20ish person gathering, seemed like they just had beer, but at good prices $4 for a modelo and the service was fantastic. They treat you like family. Not a super large parking lot, so if you come at a busier time I think you might have to find on street parking.“

“Best food I’ve eat since I’ve been in America never mind Miami. Great service, great food not a bad word to say about this place other than it shut on Sunday when I’m hungover !!! Best food don’t think twice about coming here you will NOT regret it!“

“My wife and I came back a second time on our short visit because it was so good! The bacon was AMAZING!! She had both the pancake and the French toast (on different days) and both were fantastic. Friendly servers and atmosphere. Strong coffee! All the stars given!“

“Everything this restaurant has to offer taste very good. Service is excellently, friendly and professional. Makes you feel welcome and at home when you get in there. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants authentic Jamaican cuisine.“

“This was my second visit to the restaurant, and I was curious to see if my experience would improve. During my first visit, I found the service lacking; it wasn’t as inviting or friendly as I had hoped. However, the food was quite good—I ordered oxtails and rice, which were flavorful and satisfying.

Determined to give the place another chance, I returned and was pleased to find that the service had significantly improved. The waitress greeted me with a warm smile and engaged in friendly conversation, making me feel more welcome this time. She was not only helpful but also knowledgeable, recommending several other Jamaican bakeries and restaurants in the area that I might enjoy exploring.

If you're looking for tasty Jamaican food on the go, this restaurant is a solid option that can meet your cravings.“

“The food here is very good and the servers are so kind. The only thing that I really didn't like is that they don't really check up on you until you are completed with your meal. The area is so beautiful but I think it is in a strange spot because it is in the lobby of the Marriott. The Hurricane Drink that I had was not mixed well and it had WAY too much alcohol in it and not a good mix of everything else. My husband had the burger and he said it honestly isn't anything to write home about and I ended up with the alfredo which really wasn't that bad at all. Would I recommend this place? Maybe if you were in a hurry and didn't want to leave the hotel. Otherwise it honestly is just average.“

“The service, the waitress and the food!!! Awesome“

“Love the place, great vibe and music, young people crowd, and great Service! Thank you Anabelle for making our visit amazing!“

“This was my first time having Dominican food and it was delicious! Highly recommend!!“

“It's a beautiful environment. The servers are skilled and friendly. The menu is a bit limited and unadventurous, but the food itself is quite good and the portions are large (if you're with kids younger than teenage have them split a sandwich). Prices are reasonable, in the Hilton/Marriott range (i.e., a lot less than what we expected given the luxurious nature of the place).“

“muy rica la comida en este lugar“

“Great fish thats all I ever getGreat vibeUsually some music playing or even live bands on occasionLarge yard space with some seating and plenty of people coming in and out

Vegetarian options: Plenty

Kid-friendliness: Space to run about and play while you wait“

“The fritas are delicious just really slow service.“

“I’m shocked at these reviews! I’ve been going to Sangos for the past 18 years, their oxtails have NEVER let me down. Yes- it’s expensive. But if you go to the store and buy oxtails, it’s expensive too!! And the food here is made with so much love. We always get the oxtails and goat. I’m not sure about the portions for others, but this is what I got today. SO GOOD!“

“We had the quesadilla and Cuban from here for dinner. The quesadilla was made like they don’t have to pay for cheese and the sandwich was delicious. We came during happy hour and our drinks were fantastic. Would definitely eat here again!“

“the food is seasoned just right and nicely proportioned“

“Stellar mixology at one of the best rooftops in Miami. It was a very memorable afternoon into evening 🌞“

“Los chimis la picadera el trato es único.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Stopped by Island Chicken Grill while passing through MIA and had such a great experience! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned — a real taste of the Caribbean right in the airport. What truly made my visit special was Dagnay’s amazing service. She was friendly, attentive, and went out of her way to make sure everything was just right. It’s rare to find that level of care and hospitality at an airport restaurant.“
