The experience over all was good. Where as i enjoyed the music, it didnt complement the ambiance. The food wasn't particularly bad but it could have been better- the taste was average.

I didn't pay so not sure about the value / place was beautiful and I enjoyed the night - Couldn't critiqued the staff because it was V Day and packed / but they were polite and very nice - not sure if the kitchen was slow or just inexperienced in turning tables

I was looking forward to the experience for soooo long! Had the opportunity on my recent visit to JA to dine and was highly disappointed! Everything we wanted from the menu was not available ! Very disappointed !!!

Shanique and granville was amazing only problem was i thought i would be given something special since when i did the reservation the occasion was asked which was our wedding anniversary. Thanks to the servers who made us feel special though with their great personalities

Had a great time. The DJ was SPECTACULAR and the view was breathtaking. The food was very yummy. Just a flight issue with the server but it was quickly rectified. Overall I give this restaurant a 4 out of 5. They have a dress code but I saw a few people wearing items outside of their dress code requirements. Overall I would go back when I'm in Jamaica again.

District 5 is a go to spot! From the environment to the service to the food! The rooftop with skyline views, just vibes! I went twice. On the Saturday, they had a DJ who was amazing!! The waiters were very attentive and nice. And the food! The food was delicious. I had the pumpkin bisque both times I went there and had the curry goat one night and the oxtail the other. Just amazing! Will definitely return when I'm in Kingston again!

Food was not bad. My mom says her curry had in a but more salt than her 82year old body should be taking. My husband coconut curry shrimp and mash potato serving was small for the price. The good thing he said that it tasted good. They need better deserts. I do not recommend District 5 take on a double chocolate brownie with whipped cream at all.

I took my mom there for her birthday and it was just an amazing experience. She was extremely happy with the food, scenery, ambience and the exceptional service from the staff members there. I would like to give them a special thank you for making her birthday dinner so very special and a night to certainly remember.

Let me tell you about Sir Gregory, he's very professional, so attentive, he have all the patience in the whole wide world, I think you guys have the best staff na lie, big up Shanique too. YOU GUYS DELIVERED I MUST SAY. GOOD AMBIENCE, MUST WAS RIGHT, VALUE FOR MONEY, ONLY problem I had was the portion was small, but otherwise well trained staff, everyone have a smile on their face. I would go back anytime, keeping doing what you're doing, you can't please everyone. Bless

This was an excellent choice. We were greeted immediately upon our arrival and taken to our seat high was a beautiful city view on the outside patio. Our server Shanique was excellent. She greeted us with a smile and assured us that the meal would be great. She was correct. The ambiance was excellent and the music was great. We will definitely return. Great choice!!!!!

Despite reserving our table days in advance we were surprisingly turned away upon arrival due to a private function being held at the restaurant. This is without the courtesy of a call in advance to notify us of the situation. Our efforts to speak with the restaurant was also denied and we were not able to contact them by phone. Needless to say, we would never return to District 5 restaurant or recommend anyone there.

A browish server/host with relaxed hair was very disrespectful and cursed me out when I said I wanted to sit outside. She didn't want to give us outside seat because she didn't want to walk outside to serve us alone, as it was empty.

I went when noone was there so I got undivided attention. The appetizer was better than the main course to me. I went for the lunch menu and I must say that the soup was superb as well. The main course was average.

First experience was good. Music was good food was good (just little bit)?music was just right and the ambience is nice. Customer service can't complain about that. Waitress kept checking on us and ensured we were doing OK. This is one place I will revisit and recommended

Park was limited. The waiter took long to take the order and then forget the order. Items on the menu was unavailable. Service was slow. They did offer complimentary service even though I did indicate it was my birthday. For the price of the food and reputation they are trying to promote they really need to do better. They also need to be more health conscious. The food was salty. I have heard other persons complain about this as well. I would not recommend anybody to go there for a special celebration.
