Jerk Chicken and waffle was very good. Jerk chicken very tasty with the right amount of kick to it. Not too spicy just right.

Small intimate restaurant serving chef inspired Jamaican and southern fusions. My favourites are the stuffed French toast, and the cheesy grits with jerk shrimp. I can’t wait to try more of their unique offerings.

Everything I had was excellent. From the ackee & saltfish and plantains, to the shrimp and grits, and the drinks. Will most definitely be a returning customer!

Decided to take my younger brother to this restaurant for his birthday and that was my first mistake. Greeted with attitude as soon as we were seated in the patio area. 20 mins later we were able to place our order. Fast forward 30 more minutes and we are still waiting for our appetizer. At this point we decide to inquire on the reason our order is taking so long (which we haven’t been updated on during the entire time being there). While question the waitress and manager we were met with more attitude as if it was our fault the food had not come out yet. We decided to wait another 10 mins before being asked by the party diagonal to us if we are having the same issue as them (terrible service and food still not provided). At that point we decided to cancel our order and leave the restaurant. I would not recommend anyone go to this establishment on a regular day, let alone a birthday.

Waited 45 minutes to get in (no problem) 15 minutes to get the waiter to the table, then we order & our drinks come but the appetizer took over an hour. Terrible service. The waiters are absolutely horrible . Attitude attitude and more attitude for them to do their job. If I could give them a -1000 I would. We ordered the rum punches it's a solid 6.

Omg I was so pleased. The food was finger licking good. I’ll definitely be back.
I traveled from Albany, NY to Brooklyn to celebrate a friend's birthday and before getting back on the road we wanted to try this place out. There was a 30-minute wait, but it appears to be a favorite spot to many and we walked around the neighborhood to kill time. The food was very good and the two young ladies that checked us in and waited on us were sweet and helpful (I think one girl name was Shanice?). The Mimosas were perfect, and we tried the tropical and the original. The catfish is made to perfection! Very cozy environment with a chic Carribean ambiance. There was a woman who cleaned off our tables and on the way out I asked her was it a family-owned business because I was so interested in the story behind this gem & she told me that she was the top chef and owner! She was very nice; I believe her name is Nikki and she was working just as hard as the rest of the staff there! I would give it 10 stars if I could and next time I'm in town, I'll pay them another visit. BRAVO FlamingoBABY!

If you are starving do not come here. Went on a Sunday and waited for about and hr and change and had to end up leaving. I was eager to support a black business but the incompetence was overwhelming. My husband and myself asked to be seated outside because a table inside would be a very long wait. Outside had plenty of empty tables and no other guests had requested to eat outside. Needless to say we were never seated. Server forgot we requested to sit outside so after about an hr I asked how much longer to be seated outside she says oh I forgot give me a sec. A sec turned into 30 ish mins of her standing there polishing silverware and attending to multiple tasks. I tried to be patient hoping she'd grab menus , set the table and get us going on some drinks and appetizers. But no. I'm not too sure if that's the vibe during the other days but I was so disappointed. My husband and myself left quietly went to Cafe Verde and had an amazing time with quick service and really good food. Lol Im willing to give them a second chance but I definitely cannot go back with my husband lol maybe some girlfriends on a different day.
