Looking for a carnival themed island vibe with great cocktails and authentic Caribbean cuisine,…read morecome to Savannah Spiced located in Brooklyn Here's what we had Drinks Sorrel Punch - The Sorrel Punch is a smooth, creamy cocktail that puts a Caribbean twist on the classic frozen piña colada. Instead of pineapple, it features the bold, tangy flavor of sorrel. Blended with coconut cream and rum, it's rich, refreshing, and full of island flavor. Def a fave and it tastes as good as it looks! Sexy lady - The Sexy Lady is a light but strong fruity cocktail that mixes the fresh taste similar to a lychee martini with the sweet, floral flavor of elderflower and juicy tropical fruits. It's smooth, fun, and a little flirty. We enjoyed this so much that we found ourselves guessing the ingredients! Sweet chili wings and Oreo waffle- The waffle batter was rich and delicious, with that classic cookies-and-cream taste shining through. I just wish it had been a bit crispier and more golden brown--that's my personal preference. Still, the flavor was on point. The wings were the real star perfectly cooked with a sweet, tangy, and spicy glaze that hit all the right notes. Altogether, it was a fun and tasty twist on sweet and savory. Chicken and Birthday Cake Waffle- The waffle had a sweet, cake-like taste with colorful sprinkles mixed in, and the batter was really tasty. I do wish it had been a bit crispier and more browned to give it that perfect texture, but the flavor made up for it. The fried chicken on top was juicy and well-seasoned, adding a savory balance to the sweet waffle. Overall, it was a creative and satisfying take on a classic sweet-and-savory combo. Appetizer Jerk wings- Hands down the favorite of the meal. They were packed with bold flavor--spicy, savory, and just the right amount of heat. The seasoning was spot on and the wings were cooked to the perfect texture. Every bite was juicy, flavorful, and left you wanting more. A true standout. We also can't forget the special sauce on the side--creamy and slightly sweet, it paired nicely with the wings and helped balance the heat. That said, the wings were so flavorful on their own, they didn't even need it. Entrees The Calypso Shrimp- Was beautifully presented as a standout dish. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, juicy, and coated in a sweet and spicy secret sauce that had just the right kick paired with creamy garlic mashed potatoes. It wasn't a fave but the presentation made up for it! Oxtail Low Mein - Beautifully plated in an abstract bowl. The Oxtail Lo Mein was a flavorful fusion dish that delivered more heat than I expected--but in a good way. The noodles were coated in a rich, savory brown sauce, and the oxtail was incredibly tender, falling off the bone. Each bite was packed with bold flavors, especially the deep notes of ginger and soy. The spice gave it an extra kick, making it a comforting yet exciting twist on classic lo mein.

It wasn't super busy, but I believe the staff on hand are always attentive, pleasant and welcoming. The food is Trini-Guyanese inspired and delicious. My daughter and ex ordered the oxtail dinner, which they very much enjoyed. I had a little taste and very much enjoyed the flavors. The portion was good and filling. I ordered the Jab Jab pasta with shrimp and was very happy that it wasn't dry. The spice in the cream sauce was slight but good. I was very hungry, so I sadly did not have a to-go plate. To demonstrate the high level of attentiveness from the staff, we never announced that we were celebrating a birthday, but they came out with a slice of yummy cheesecake (and I don't like cheesecake) for my baby girl. I plan to visit when it's warmer, so I can enjoy the backyard space.

They have outdoor seating but we sat inside since it was later in the evening. The vibes are great. It's a narrow restaurant inside but they pack the tables in and get you seated right away. There was a DJ spinning the beats and TVs showcasing music videos. They have a full menu and bar even at 11pm and I ordered the curry snapper which came with your choice of regular rice, or rice and beans, with veggies served on the side. Many of the cocktails have amaretto in them which was perfect since that's one of my favorite liquors. You can also order any kind of cocktail or liquor from the bar. The food took about 15-20 and it was well worth the wait. You're missing out if you've never had snapper before and the islands really know how it's done. Cooked to perfection and the curry seasoning was the best. Getting the check takes a while so if you can pay in cash that'll speed up the process. A great spot none the less and worth a visit.

This place is stuck in the past, with a staff who just can't adjust to a new generation of people not accustomed to the rolling of eyes, kissing if teeth and just an overall lethargic service delivery. They have an OUTSTANDING spirits selection, and the food is satisfying and plentiful. That said, they continue to make old people sweet drinks with no attention to a well constructed classic cocktail. The male bartender, who I hear has been there since the year of the flood, needs to move on to Shady Pines.

Full bar, Good service, DJ always on point, Attentive staff, Good for groups, Hookah, And most importantly good food. First time I had the fried chicken with French toast and eggs. The chicken was good but fried too crispy. My friend had the bake and salt fish which she liked. No-mojito Spritz was good for a non-alcohol option. This time around I ordered the eggs with Nutella French toast which was good. Eggs were made well and fresh. Only hiccup is they forgot the Nutella drizzle and I had to do it myself with two little packs of Nutella; my waitress Nyah was cool so I let it go. My friend had the Calamari with sweet chili dipping sace: Calamari was fried well with good flavor. She also had I belive the Honey Cajun wings which were fresh and not frozen also fried well and flavorful. The potatoes which were supposed to be fries I didnt try. What did it for me was the Blue Caviar mimosa! I haven't seen anything like it and I was intrigued. Bonus points for the popping Boba on the bottom. I also tried the peach and the mango bèllinis and all were good. The Dj will bring it all the time and have you getting out of your seat even if you want to be stush. Whether it's brunch, dinner, or just relaxing at the bar, it's always a vibe. The music is loud but there's outside seating. I really wanted to gatekeep this spot but I don't want to be selfish. So you're welcome! Go and enjoy yourself.

They had a cute accent wall for photos in the back. My mom and I took a few. The staff were kind and attentive. They don't serve hard liquor. I believe it's wine and beer and wine based cocktails.

Went to D Garden for a quick late-night bite and they had Taco Tuesday going on…read more We tried the oxtail tacos, jerk chicken, sweet chili salmon, and a margarita. The oxtail itself was pretty delicious, but the sauce was a little overwhelming for me--it almost gave a Thousand Island-type vibe, and I think less sauce would've let the oxtail shine more. The jerk chicken though?! Definitely my favorite. It was flavorful and delicious, and if I came back I'd probably skip the salmon and just get the jerk chicken dinner. The sweet chili salmon was okay, but it had an interesting taste that wasn't really for me. The margarita was pretty standard. Service was good and we never felt like we were bothering anyone, even coming in later. The space definitely gives more sports bar than restaurant since there are TVs EVERYWHERE So if you're coming for a date where you really want to talk and connect, or have a serious conversation, I probably wouldn't choose here because there's a lot going on visually. BUT the music was amazinggg! If you love Soca, reggae, and Caribbean vibes, you'll probably enjoy yourself. The DJ that night was really good We did notice a few house flies, which were a little distracting, but it's summertime and we were sitting somewhat close to the door, so I wasn't completely surprised. It's also not a huge space, so I could definitely see it getting packed quickly on a Friday or Saturday night, especially with a good DJ. Overall: Food: 7/10 Drinks: 7/10 Vibe: Come for the music + Caribbean energy Would I return? Yes--but I'm getting that jerk chicken next time!

After getting back from being out of town celebrating my birthday, I wanted Caribbean cuisine. Thanks to Yelp, I found this gem of a restaurant. First, the place is huge. This is a place for a party. Greeted by Amantha, a vibrant young lady, was a plus. Our visit was on a Monday night, when they have an all-day happy hour. Be careful of their cocktails because when they say "boozy," they mean it. I let Amantha make all the suggestions for us because, hey, if she doesn't know what's good, who does? I always want fish, so she suggested the Snapper, and noted that it would be a 35-minute wait because "everything" is made fresh. Gordon Ramsay would be thrilled. So, we ordered appetizers. Rose's Shrimp Empanadas were delicious. The shrimp were succulent and not overcooked. The Mini Gold Delights, plantain cups filled with Tassot (fried goat) and topped with pikitz (spicy slaw), a must-have!! Both served with their Golden Sauce, a savory mustardy sauce similar to a Dijon vinaigrette. Both of these were washed down with Gen Bagay cocktails (we had two). On to the main courses. I ordered the Brooklyn Red Snapper stew, with white rice and a black bean sauce. The Snapper was spectacular. It was enough for three people. It was heavier in texture than Asian steamed fish, and yet lighter than the cousin Jamaican Escovitch Fried Red Snapper. But baby, talk about flavor. My partner ordered the Blue Goat, a savory, unctuous dish with a rich gravy, served with Djon- Djon, a native rice dish of Haiti, made with black mushrooms, a part of the cooking process, leaving an umami-packed punch of flavor. My man said that this was the best rice he had ever eaten! , If you are not used to eating Haitian cuisine, have Amantha show you how to eat it. There is actually a ritual to blending these flavors, which made a difference. We had leftovers, but the best part is that the food was even better the next day!!! Not many restaurants can say that. They celebrated my birthday, which extended my celebration. Thank you, Golden Blue Restaurant. I will be back, and my out-of-state cousins want to come too. Now I know why, during our visit, many folks were coming in for takeout or Uber Eats! I will definitely be back!

The décor, ambiance, and overall aesthetic are stunning and definitely make a great first impression. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to the atmosphere. The operation felt overly strict and somewhat pretentious. While waiting for a seat at the bar, we noticed that guests aren't allowed to stand nearby if no seats are available. At one point, a gentleman was simply talking to a friend while waiting, and staff communicated through their earpieces to address it. It felt excessive and created an uncomfortable environment. As for the food, it was just okay. Nothing was bad, but nothing stood out either. Given the reputation, prices, and presentation, I expected much more. Overall, the food was average and didn't justify the hype. The space is gorgeous, but the overall experience felt more focused on controlling the room than making guests feel welcome. Beautiful restaurant, but not a place I'll be returning to.
