PiCH Restaurant and Lounge

I’m really disappointed with my Valentine’s Day dinner at Pich on Flatbush Avenue. We waited nearly an hour for our food, which is frustrating on any night, but especially on Valentine’s Day when you expect things to be organized and special. When the food finally came out, it honestly wasn’t worth the wait.

I ordered mashed potatoes (only because they were out of the pineapple rice I originally wanted), and there was an entire chunk of uncooked potato sitting in them. Not just slightly undercooked...completely hard. The mac and cheese was watery and so was the pasta. Everything tasted rushed and poorly prepared.

They were also out of lemonade. Being out of multiple menu items on a major holiday like Valentine’s Day shows a serious lack of preparation.

As a Jamaican, I was honestly embarrassed for them. The food and overall execution did not reflect the standard or pride you would expect. What’s confusing is that this restaurant has received positive reviews, so I’m not sure how or why our experience was so bad.

I’ve never had a worse experience at a restaurant...especially a Jamaican restaurant. There are simply way too many restaurants to choose from in Brooklyn and far better Jamaican spots to spend money on an experience like this.

Between the long wait, the missing menu items, and the low-quality dishes, the restaurant was straight trash. Definitely not the kind of experience you expect when you’re trying to celebrate something special. I won’t be returning.

Amazing food and service! Drinks were great and they even had the games playing. My friends and I will be back.

I liked the Spring Rolls and Sorrel.

The last time I was there the manager was micro managing and that made the atmosphere just a little weird. You could feel the tension behind the bar and I'm a happy drinker I love good energy. Usually when I do visit it's a real chill and lay back vibe.

The wait for the food was approximately 45 minutes.The food had the same taste for every single thing item and very salty Vegetables were overcooked.Mash potatoes had no taste.The only things tasted okay was the Salmon.The steam snapper overall it appeared to be soup.The presentation was bad as well.I would never go back or recommend anyone.

I was expecting a wonderful experience however it fell flat. The drink was good but let's get into the food. When I go out to eat I want food that makes me dance in my seat. I want food that makes my taste buds dance. This didn't do it. I ordered the oxtail and fried rice. My husband ordered the curry shrimp. His shrimp were good. My food however really had no flavor and it's a shame because the concept (rice inside pineapple) was very creative. We also ordered the mango buffalo wings but was given no extra saucers, nor blue cheese. I had to request it and was only given 1 blue cheese for 7 wings. I wouldn't visit again. Overall I give it a 6 out of 10.

We waited for an hour to get the food. Not sure if it tasted good because I was starving or if it was actually good. But they were very apologetic and also gave us free shots. Everyone did enjoy the food.

We did not have a good experience. We waited for 2 hours for our food. No one checked on us or offered us an explanation as to why we were not being served. We cancelled our order and then were told they were short of staff. I would not return or recommend this place to anyone.

Very good brunch

The pineapple rice with chicken was absolutely delicious and the rum punch top notch. Nice place with TVs at the bar. Solid option if you're going to Kings Theater. Very walkable. Prices are more than fair. Staff were friendly and attentive.

Good food, vibe and staff

I’m honestly speechless about my experience at PiCH — thankful my fingers still work so I can warn others. As a Jamaican, I felt embarrassed that this is what they’re serving in the name of our food. This was easily one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had, and I even had to apologize to my wife Toya for bringing her there.

It was clear authentic Jamaican cooking is not a priority at this spot. Our waitress was wonderful and did her best to keep us comfortable, but the food and drinks were unacceptable. We started with margaritas, but the bartender clearly didn’t know how to make them — using cheap tequila that tasted awful. My rice and peas were burnt and scraped from the bottom of the pot, old and stale, and my meat was dry and tough, like it had been sitting around for days. My wife tried cutting hers with a fork and gave up because it was too hard, and her food was so salty it was inedible.

I’ve seen all the glowing reviews, but maybe it was just a bad Thursday. Still, that’s no excuse. If they were out of oxtail, they should’ve just been honest instead of serving us old scraps. We spent $150 and barely ate two bites. Do yourself — and your wallet — a favor: skip this place at all costs. I’ve never been this disappointed in a restaurant, especially a Jamaican one in Brooklyn.
