    Good drinks
    Tee G.

    Good vibe & DJ. A bit of a younger crowd but thankfully not over the top belligerent or obnoxious. Although there were the predictable twerkers, including head stand twerking, by the DJ booth / entrance. Passé..... Service took a little long, might need more staff on weekends. Good place to celebrate birthdays and other occasions. At least for those that want the cliche Instagram pictures and reels. We got searched at the door. It's an uneasy feeling but a sign of the times when hanging in certain neighborhoods. (Deep breath, YAK) It's better to be safe than sorry, so although I appreciate the half ass search (something is something). It was a reminder that we are too old to be attending venues where this even has to happen!! Drinks and hookah on point! Exactly the vibe most would want and expect when going out for some good music and solid cocktails. Did not taste the food but based on appearance we will undoubtedly return and try it next time. However, I will check out the grade to make sure it's up to code. Given other reviews that raised a flag, the grade is very important to us. We do not want to spend hard earned money on subpar service and food preparation.

    Good vibe. Great DJ. Good/decent food. I had a glass of moscato, seemed kind of watered down, I'm not sure. HORRIBLE customer service. I came with my partner on a Saturday night at 10pm. The young woman waiting our table, we had to CHASE HER DOWN; for the bill, some napkins and a straw we asked for at the very beginning of her waiting our table. She did not care. Come to find out, they get an automatic $10 tip for every table waited; this explains her lack of respect and professionalism. When we finally get ahold of her, she'd forgotten any requests. I can't imagine if I came here and had to wait for a table. She gave us such horrible customer service one of the men on the floor tended to us, numerous times, brought us our to-go bowls and removed our plates while she's nowhere to be found.

    Flava II Bar Lounge is now a top favorite in Brooklyn! Right when you walk in, you're greeted by a vibrant mural of iconic artists like Biggie and Riri, setting a lively atmosphere. The DJ really knows how to keep the place jumping with great music. They offer awesome themed nights and a very inviting happy hour. The food is incredibly diverse and delicious, from seafood boil to oxtail Rasta pasta. The VIP section is perfect for birthdays or any celebration. Everything I tried, from the pasta to the cake and wings, was exceptional. Make sure to ask for Teesh when you visit--she's fantastic!

    Tropical and regular Pina Colada (really good)

    - My gf and I went here Tuesday at 8pm. It was empty with the exception of two tables (got busier afterwards). Security checked IDs and then we were seated immediately. That aside, service was on the slower side and not very attentive or friendly/interactive. We left here after 11pm. -GOOD FOOD. The seafood pizza was really good and I loved the fact that there were real chunks of lobster, salmon, and shrimp! The steamed snapper was really good too! Well seasoned just like I normally make it. The mashed potatoes were good. The stuffed shrimp was okay, wasn't too crazy about whatever sauce they put on it. The menu said that entrees are served with a side (your choice) and veggies, but there were no veggies served with the meals. The buffalo wings were a fail. The sauce was kind of tart and they tasted microwaved. -They have a really good selection of drinks. It was so hard trying to decide but the frozen coladas were good. We had it them with casamigo. Lychee margarita and the Canarsie was too sweet, had to send them back to get fixed. The lemon drop martini and Brooklyn bomb were good too. -They have a live DJ that plays a mix of pretty much everything, reggae, soca, R&B, soul etc. It was a really good vibe everyone was dancing in their chairs lol

    The food here was outstanding. The oxtails were tender and tasty. The music was FYAAAAA. They had nba sports on which was a plus. There was a great vibe. Once we got seated the waitress was attentive. Def would come back here

    A great vibe on a Friday night ! With a live DJ great drinks good service and the food chefs kiss highly recommended. I ordered the island glazed salmon with the mango jerk seasoning add shrimp with white rice and the tropical martini was delicious. If you're looking for a great vibe on a Friday night after a long week i would highly recommend checking out Flava.

    Everything needs improving. Bad customer service, food takes forever... Rude promoter. If you are looking to support an unbiased vendor that equitably serves their commuity members without partiality and prejudice this establishment is NOT the place for you. My saftey was threatened by their promoter and he issued phyical threats against me and nothing was done by the vendor except for banning the paying customer. I was also not refunded after paying but not allowed access into the venue by security. Cash app payment was made to: Tawana and photo of declined refund request are attached as well as video of entry being denied after paying.

    I can't be the only one who thinks Canarsie needs more entertainment!! Luckily, there's @flava2lounge, a Caribbean restaurant and lounge, located on Ave D. For food and drinks, we ordered: Crab Cakes Henny Punch Fish Bowl Stuffed Shrimp w/ Mashed Potatoes & Mixed Vegetables Asian Fusion Wings Calamari Canarsie Fish Bowl Stuffed Salmon w/ Mashed Potatoes & Mixed Vegetables Food, drinks, music and vibes were on point! Service was great. Plus I heard they get lit on the weekends

    Rum punch
    Shurida L.

    The Asian Fusion wings and Stuffed Shrimp were chef's kiss. The rum punch was also great. They played really good music too. We sat at the bar. Service was pretty good, I will say the waitress seemed like she was tired and didn't want to be there but she never came off rude. Made sure we had drinks and made those rum punches very strong for us which we liked. Would definitely go back there to try more food.

    Salmon salad
    Shamille M.

    The only part that was good was the music Unfortunately, our server was the only one at the time and to get one salad took 45 minutes. We waited a long time for another one. We had the calamari, which was nice. My honest review. They need more servers and better management. Have your servers try different than items so they can recommend different items for guest to try.

    Don't Go tooo late (12am and after) your food will be served in plastic

    This was my first time coming here. Sunday night is a great night to come from what I see. The vibe is cool the DJ is great. He played a mixture of all type of music kept everybody engaged. The hookah was good they only take cash for the hookah like most spots. I didn't eat but friends had the salmon which they loved. The only reason I am taking a star away is because our waitress was really slow. It was time we didn't see her for at least 30 minutes. She was doing multiple things at once. I am hoping they was short staffed that night. I would come back again to try the food. Overall great spot.

    Rum punch.
    Rina S.

    It was what I expected when I saw it from outside. Pretty simple restaurant bar lounge vibe. The waitress that I had was green and truthfully I only ate them mac and cheese and high around punch but that was all I needed. I feel like the punch was made perfection and the mac and cheese was too. I got involved with the Mac as says it came out and so I don't have a big four picture but my friend that I was with and I both agreed that it's a must order. When going. Next time I'll go there with more of an empty stomach to try more options.

The server even warned us that the food takes long . They need to get that part under control. The dj came and set up . Great play list a little bit of everything r&b, hip hop, reggae soca etc... but the volume was way to loud. The place was shaking and vibrating. We came during happy hour. The drinks were ok. Food temps were good but just lacked a bit of flavor, although I must say the curry goat was decent. The Decor is nice . Yet the place just feels unprepared not ready yet to service the public.

The owner and manager knowingly triple booked the space and refused to do the right thing. A contract was signed two months ago for a high school graduation dinner for 50 people; two days before the event when the owner was aware there was conflict, he asked if my cousin could push back her event 'til 7pm. After speaking to the other two event coordinators, I was told that their events were only scheduled and booked by the owner Two weeks ago (both the baby shower and a health event). Again, the owner knew this was the case and did not make himself present or discuss the situation with my cousin or the health coordinator his mistake. The baby shower which was booked two weeks ago was scheduled from 2-8pm; and the health event was scheduled from 5-9. Upon the arrival of our family, we were flabbergasted by the fact that not only was the first event still taking place, but it was not scheduled to end until 8pm. Despite knowing all of this the owner still requested all parties to remit full payment though he knew he was already in breach of his contract with my cousin. Tonight, not only did he make himself unavailable or be present to diffuse the situation; he also had no managers on hand to troubleshoot the situation. Several calls to the owner went unanswered. He finally had a young staff member relay a message that he will call my cousin (several hours after this event was supposed to start) to "see what he can do". Over an hour later and he never responded. COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL. Spare yourself the headache and frustration. Do not come here. Final time of space availability after set-up was 9pm - followed by the serving of tepid/borderline cold food.

I made reservations for 6:30 PM for five (5) adults. I knew it was not meant to be as soon as we walked in. We arrived at 6:45 PM and was told they would have to find us a table (there were several empty tables that were large enough to accommodate). We stood for 7 minutes before a gentleman came and sat us down. The table was bare, the only thing on the table was table cloth. It took approximately 25 minutes for someone to come and take our order. I didn't know that they had a live band and it was too loud for such a small place. The Menu had a fix price for $65 per person. The person who finally came to take orders sat at our table and cross of many items that were not available. It took another half an hour for someone to come place water at the table and gave us eating utensils. According to the menu, each of us would start our meal with a salad. The salad never came. We asked for a drink menu, we were told that they had nothing really to drink. We each order an appetizer from the menu, they brought us one plate with items on it. Mistakes were made in everything that we ordered to eat and others near us had the same issue. The original server that took all the food orders never came back to our table. The service was horrible. This was an embarrassing Mother's Day dinner. At the end, they presented me with a bill for $458. I will never return and I suggest that if any of you are considering going to this restaurant, don't bother. I would have been better off going to order food at Kal's Bakery & Restaurant and go home to eat. It would have cost me $17-$30 and would not have spent 3 hours being frustrated and embarrassed to have taken my mother, sister and other family members there.

    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!

I had Henny n coke but a lot of people we're ordering the rum punch which looked really yummy. They serve food. But it's a simple menu. Salad options. Wings that can be tossed in an array of sauces, french fries. Typical bar food. And they have some other entree selections. On weekends it's great for music and dancing. A great mix of soca, reggae, and a lot of the hits. When I went the age limit was 23 and older to get in. I went on a Sunday. They have a few TV's on the wall but they had it on MTV. A little weird. Watching 90s rock music videos without the sound. Lots of head banging, hair flips, and baggy pants. It was pretty empty yesterday. We ordered the wings with a mango sauce and fries. Fries were okay. Tasty. Nothing special. But the wing sauce was sweet with a little heat. I wasn't really a fan of it. I think I would've preferred buffalo or jerk, or just plain old fried but what got me was that the chicken was undercooked. I was biting into the drumstick and the chicken was kind of rubbery which is a no no. It definitely needed more time in the fryer. I don't mess with undercooked chicken. I'd definitely go back there again for the great music, dancing with friends and strong and moderately priced drinks.

I was scared and did not feel comfortable at all! Now, fast-forward. I've recently been back at the beginning of September for my friend's surprise bday party. I was literally in shock to how Tracks has cleaned itself up. It was a complete makeover. It actually reminded me of Fisheye, down the road. The new decor is of New Yorker Chic with ghetto fabulous twinged in it. I say ghetto, for the fact that there was something weird going on in the back near the bathrooms. It was like the ceiling dropped 5 feet so they could add an upstairs area. Nonetheless, I was impressed from what my first true experience was. Since this place is in the neighborhood, I can see it as my new home bar. Sometimes it just gets tiring going into the city to get a drink. I can just walk a few minutes and enjoy. PS there mac and cheese were on point. It was a bit on the salty side, but I was a happy camper, for $3, hell yes!
