    Escovitch snapper
    Amara M.

    The escovitch snapper was so fresh and delicious I'll definitely be returning soon!!

    Jerk Chicken
    Melissa V.

    Came here for the first time and the food was tasty. I didn't know what to expect from the spicy beef patty and I would say it was okay. The jerk chicken and curry goat was so freaking good though (mouthwatering) We also got Mac & cheese and potato salad (not pictured) I wouldn't order the Mac &cheese again not sure if it was just the time of day (2:30pm) it looked sad and seemed as it was sitting for way too long, was a bit dry and just ok. Overall would come back for the other two plates and the staff was friendly and on top of it.

    If you're looking for good good food check out Clive's Cafe. Everything we ordered was superb. The oxtails were cooked to perfection. Jerk conch was awesome. The portions were scrumptious & generous. Tony was our gracious host. The ambiance was nice. Stop by for breakfast, lunch or dinner. You won't be disappointed.

    It's a little far for me. I'm in Coconut Grove, walking into this place. The music was amazing. I sat down. The Lady was very friendly in the bar didn't smile much. but she gave me what I wanted. Everything was amazing. I sat down and I got my favorite breakfast. LOVE IT

    Escovitch fish w/ veggies
    Ronald S.

    I want to start by saying the dish is exactly what it's suppose to be. The fish was fresh and tender. My only suggestion is they put garlic butter on the fish and veggies, It would take the dish to a 6 out of 5! I ordered mine to go so I didn't interact with the staff too much but they were welcoming and nice over the phone. I was really skeptical about the Mac & cheese but they checked that box off with honors and that pushed it to 5 stars. I can't stress garlic butter enough though ijs lol

    Jerk Chicken, cabbage, and mac n cheese
    Lia M.

    The food was amazing!! We got the oxtails and jerk chicken. The rice and peas, mac, and cabbage were great sides. The customer service was great. We were greeted and seated once we arrived. There is a dance area, a nice bar, and even room for live music. The location was easy to find, but parking is limited. Definitely fresh and authentic.

    Jerk Chicken with Rice & Peas
    Kern C.

    My jerk chicken was decent for the most part . They use what appears to be a dry rub (very visible) in addition to the already seasoned chicken . I thought the combination was ok but not my favorite flavor profile for jerk chicken . Perhaps the amount of the dry rub was just too much or something but it was just ok to me . The rice and peas was abit dry as well and didn't taste of the typical coconut milk but helped by the side of oxtail gravy . The plantains finally weren't super ripened as I'd like them but were ok . The meal didn't come together nicely enough for me to say that I really enjoyed it . Everything individually was just ok . I also was able to sample the bbq chicken and it was very similar tasting to stew chicken . I don't know if I like it or not but I did notice grill marks so I know it was atleast made on the grill . Speaking to one of the workers, Brittany, I also found out that the mac and cheese and the potato salads are made with eggs which are no-no's and for all that I've mentioned, I am personally one and done with Clyde's .

    Jerk Chicken Pasta
    Amy B.

    We found Clive's Café on the best of Miami list. I am so happy that we did. I ordered the jerk chicken with macaroni and cheese and plantains. My son ordered the jerk chicken pasta with a side of macaroni salad and plantains. We were both blown away with how delicious the food was. The jerk chicken was to die for. I cannot even explain the flavors. The plantains were the best I've ever had. The macaroni and cheese was pretty good as well. Best of all we were served by Clive himself. Clive is a very personable man with a great smile. The restaurant itself has a nice ambience.Overall, I say Clive's is 10 out of five stars, but that's not an option. We will definitely be back. Thank you, Clive for a wonderful experience.

    Jerk pork with rice and Rice & Peas

    Nice spot for Jamaican cuisine. We had the jerk chicken, jerk pork, and pasta dishes. All were good. Would definitely return when in the area. It's a nice size location with plenty of seating. Some music playing would be a nice addition to dining in.

    This was my delicious meal. I don't think I could put my grandchildren photos in here so this will do.
    Lisa T.

    Well, I thought I had written a review for Clive's Café. We all went here as a family and had delicious food when I was in Miami in December visiting my grandchildren. I definitely want to come back here again. It's located in liberty city which was nice and pleasant for the day and only good things to say what a great restaurant delicious food!

    Spice beef patties

    Me and my son just came back from a cruise and since we were in Miami I had to get some Carribean food. My cousin who is from Homestead recommended Clives in Little Haiti so I decided to give it a try and was glad I did. My son ordered the 3 spice beef patties and I ordered jerk chicken, with plantains and rice & peas. I must say that this was by far the best jerk chicken Ive ever had and Ive had some good authentic jerk before. The plantains were cooked perfectly and the chicken was delicious, especially the jerk sauce. The waitress was very nice and the establishment was very clean. i will definitely be back next time Im in Miami.

    Jerk chicken with mac and cheese and fries.
    Carol R.

    This place is listed as having the best Jamaican food in Miami. I beg to differ. With so many really good places, not just in Miami but also in Broward County, I don't think Clive's can hold that title anymore. We tried the jerk chicken with mac and cheese and fries, as well as the curried conch with rice and peas and cabbage. We also had a Ting and homemade sorrel. The menu does not have prices, so you have to ask your waitress the cost for each thing you order. However, the prices are reasonable, so you won't go broke if you just wait for the check to show up. The jerk chicken was good, but best with the sauce. Without the sauce, it was a tad dry. The fries (which we settled for because they were out of plantains at lunch time) were crispy and delicious and when I asked the waitress if they added a slight breading before frying she informed me that they came like that, frozen. The rice and peas needed more coconut, but had the perfect "shelly" consistency (as we Jamaicans say---meaning not too sticky). You really can't mess up cabbage. And the curried conch was just right, not too chewy and not tasteless. And there was a lot of it in the meal for $20. The sorrel was supposedly homemade. It was weak, lacking enough ginger and a strong sorrel flavor (as if it was watered down). But as a Jamerican, who not only cooks a lot of Jamaican food but tries all the spots in town, I must say I have go-to places that serve tastier food closer to home in Broward County. However, I cannot find curried conch on any Jamaican menu in Broward, so I may return to have it again and try some other dishes as well.

    Hi was thinking of going here but my wife is vegetarian and the only vegetarian dish seems to be the Vegetable Chunks - does anyone know what that is?

    Vegetarian chunks is a product made of soy. More like a meat substitute.

It's been a while since I've gone to a restaurant and the service and food quality was so amazing that it literally made me stop in my tracks but here we are! I started with a hot mocha latte. I am a coffee snob and this drink was made to perfection! Absolutely delicious and I didn't want the cup to end! It was the perfect balance of smoothness and warmth and it was sweetened perfectly! For breakfast, I decided to get the mushroom toast and it was amazing! I was skeptical about the ricotta addition but it was spread on the toast like butter, very plentiful and tasty! That along with the other ingredients used made it taste exceptional! Perfect price point too! I was more than satisfied! Last but not least the service by host staff and waiters was top tier. Very attentive and lots of smiles! They genuinely seemed happy to have me and treated me like a guest in their home. I genuinely can't wait to come back and try everything on the menu!

When my husband ordered the chicken burger with fries, we waited nearly 30 minutes, only to be told afterward that they had run out of fries. That was extremely frustrating, especially after such a long wait. The waiter did try to make up for it by offering us some desserts on the house, which was appreciated, but it didn't make up for the overall experience. Going out to eat should be enjoyable and relaxing, not a situation where you constantly have to chase down your server. The food I tried was okay, but the service and lack of organization really took away from the experience. It seems like management needs improvement. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

After we were seated, she brought us menus but explained that when we were ready to order, we would have to return to the counter to place our order ourselves. That was surprising enough, but what really bothered me was seeing a mandatory 15% service charge added to the bill. I have no problem tipping for good service, but automatically charging 15% when customers are expected to get up and place their own orders makes no sense to me. It's another example of the tipping culture getting out of hand. To make matters worse, the food was very expensive and simply wasn't worth the price. Between the confusing service, mandatory service charge, and overpriced food, I won't be returning and cannot recommend this place.
