They charge you 25$ if you bring your own birthday cake because “we already serve dessert here” and the food was good but not really authentic except for the rice and beans. Three pieces of oxtail and a cup of pasta.. it was okay , service was a bit slow . They were nice I guess. The rice and chicken came with a good amount

The food is heavenly, I lost track of time eating and felt like I ate more than my money’s worth. Staff is caring and sweet, and the music never let me down. Will come back very. very. soon.🙂↕️

Unfortunately not the best service, lack of care. Barely acknowledged my wife and I. They were talking to other tables they know. Service took for ever & just an off vibe. I never put bad reviews but it was so long to even come and get our order in the first place that we were 2 seconds away of just walking out, which we saw another group do after us by the way.... One positive thing is the food was good at least.

Very nice experience. We had stuffed plantain for the appetizer and Griot/Ital Bowl for supper and everything was quite good! The new drinks menu was interesting and tasty, and the cocktail selection is appreciated! Shout out Kenny g !

My husband and I went for dinner and the food was incredible. We went at 6 so I feel like we were pre-party atmosphere but all the staff was chatting with us; it was a great vibe. We had coconut shrimp, oxtail tacos, and jerk chicken. While all was amazing, I’m going back again for that jerk chicken…..best I’ve had in the area. Highly recommend :)
Very clean and wonderful ambiance. The staff are very friendly and fun to interact with! The food is to die for if you like Caribbean cuisine! Highly highly recommended!

Tropikàl is a vibrant cozy lounge taking all the best cuisines, charm, and culture from each caribbean nation. We booked a late dinner, and boy are we glad we did. As the delicious foods and drinks flowed. The space slowly transformed to a dancehall hub. The DJ set up and the tables slowly disappeared. We didn't need to leave for clubbing as dinner turned into a night of dance. The Jerk calamari was the star of the show. Along with the curry goat with rice and peas tasted home-made, the roti to soak up the gravey was a nice touch. The fritters was too salty (more than saltfish fritters is expected to be). The stuffed plaintains were good, but our table was conflicted on whether the callaou was fresh. The ackee was clearly from a can, with minimal prep. The jerk tacos was on the sweeter side, which was unexpected. The spicy mango wings was good but tasted more lemon pepper than mango, still a little tangy. Their jerk dipping sauce is undefeated. Overall the staff clearly take pride in the asethics and outward appearance of the restaurant. The bathrooms, and accommodations needs serious attention.

Came on a Wednesday night, I had amazing food, the cocktails are always a hit but I wasn’t impressed with the service. I was constantly looking for my waitress and she was sitting at the bar eating which is super unprofessional. Let’s also add that when you’re working in a restaurant as a server your hair should be tied ! This isn’t my first time here I usually only have good time but I wasn’t impressed this time. The bartender was busy making drinks and the server was just sitting at the bar while we were waiting and trying to wave her down.

Ordered a $55 'Oxtail to Share' expecting it to be suitable for two people, but it turned out to be a portion barely enough for one — and even then, on the small side. We also ordered a mac and cheese, which was delicious, but again surprisingly small for the price. While the food itself was good, the portion sizes felt disappointing given the cost and descriptions on the menu. Only recommended if you want to pay $50 to taste something good but still feel hungry afterwards!

The food and service was excellent but the music was a bit loud. My family and I enjoyed our diner and we will definitely go back!
