Great experience
Lovely staff
Amazing drinks and food
Been coming here for brunch for a long time.. finally got to experience the dinner menu and it didn’t disappoint.. very good flavors on the coconut curry Red snapper.. will be coming back for dinner service .. tried curry goat and very flavorful and tender as well..
We called Hush before heading over to check if there was a wait, and the woman on the phone assured us we could walk right in. When we arrived, that was true—only about two other parties were there, so it wasn’t busy at all.
The ambiance was really nice—very clean and stylish, with amazing music that really set the vibe. I ordered the rum punch, and while it was definitely strong, it was also really good. I also had the Kingston fries, which were super tasty and flavorful.
We ordered both drinks and food, and got our appetizer fairly quickly. But then we ended up waiting over an hour for our main dishes, with no updates or mention of a delay or short staffing. That was disappointing. Especially because we noticed other tables who came in after us were being served their meals before we were.
Ultimately, we decided to leave because the wait was just too long. It was frustrating, especially considering how empty the place was. The food and atmosphere have a lot of potential, but the service experience really affected the our brunch.
To their credit, they did void our bill because of the delay, which we appreciated. The place has great potential—the vibes, drinks, and appetizers were solid—but better communication would’ve made all the difference.
Maybe we’ll give it another try in the future and see if the experience is better with improved communication.
Oh my word....

Disappointing First Visit Despite Good Food and Great Staff
I recently visited Hush restaurant and lounge after a friend insisted we go there, she’s a regular and had nothing but glowing reviews about the place. Although I had another restaurant in mind, I agreed to meet her at hush, arriving at 4:13 PM (the restaurant’s posted opening time was 4 PM).
Initial Red Flags:
The doors were still locked when we arrived. A staff member wiping the windows had to ask permission to let us in, definitely not the most welcoming start. Once inside, we were the only customers, which was fine, but things quickly took a turn.
Unprofessional Management & Inconsistent Service:
Our waiter, Roshaun, took our drink orders, and I requested an iced coffee after seeing several being made. However, we were told by the manager/owner that we couldn’t have one! apparently, they’re only served during Sunday brunch. Later, it was clarified that those were for the staff. That alone felt like a slap in the face as a paying customer.
When I tried ordering a different drink, I was told it wasn’t available either. It didn’t stop there, my original food order (jerk chicken) wasn’t available due to lack of prep from the previous day. I had to settle for whatever they did have, even though the full menu was still being presented.
Long Wait & Misplaced Priorities:
We waited over an hour for our food. Meanwhile, the manager/owner was busy on his phone the entire time. To add insult to injury, 2 guests who arrived an hour after us received their food first, including the manager himself.
Bright Spots:
Despite all the issues, there were a few highlights:
• Roshaun (our waiter) was attentive and kind, consistently checking in on us.
• Lani (bartender) made a great drink.
• Chef Gavin personally apologized and even gave me a sample of the jerk chicken I originally wanted.
Final Thoughts:
The food was actually good, but the poor management, long wait, and lack of transparency left a sour taste. I likely won’t return, there are too many other places where I can spend my money and feel appreciated as a customer🤷🏽♀️
Appetizers, drinks and meals were so delicious. We were a party of 4. Everything was great. We didn't have a reservation for dinner. It's Good Friday. But we were seated anyway. Our waitress was amazing. So accommodating. I also had my birthday there a couple years ago. Service is still awesome. You have to try this place. 🫶🏼
Had a fantastic experience at Hush Restaurant & Lounge!
The moment you walk in, the stylish decor sets the mood.
The food? Absolutely delicious and authentic Jamaican cuisine.
The mac & cheese was creamy with the perfect crust, the jerk chicken packed bold flavor, and the oxtail was fall-off-the-bone tender.
Every dish was a hit!
Big shoutout to Michelle, my bartender—friendly, fast, and on point. Mary, the maître d’, made sure everything ran smoothly, and Chris from management checked in with genuine hospitality.
The staff made the whole experience even better.
While they no longer take call-in takeout orders, waiting at the bar while vibing to great music and sipping a cocktail made it more than worth it.
The energy in the place is just right.
If you haven’t been—go. If you’ve been—go again. Hush is definitely on my go-to list.
Great atmosphere and ambiance. Food is good.

My most recent visit to Hush was to attend a birthday celebration for a friend. I had a great time. I have to say that everyone who I had an encounter with made me feel so welcomed. From the Hostess to the servers, and the food was delicious. I will definitely recommend Hush to family and friends. Looking forward to going again soon.

Staff was rude. Bar tender drank with who they choose. Otherwise you received the measured pour.
Allow me to rephrase. This establishment caters to a women’s crowd who want to be pampered.
Smart mouth staff is over looked.
Staff are disrespectful intentionally without question.
Just rake your money not take your money.
The older staff in the olden days were more respectful and welcoming.
We spent more than $1500.00. Plus tips. To be disrespected.

I recently visited Hush to celebrate my friend's birthday, and we had an amazing time! The atmosphere was vibrant, and the lounge setting really added to the experience even though I wish we could see the games from where we sat. The food was delicious and it was the perfect spot for a celebration with a few homies to laugh with. One of my coworkers from my other job also knew of the place and agreed the food was on really good. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for good food and a fun night out!
