    A taste of Jamaica right here in South Florida!! Parking: Lots of parking that is easily accessible. This also a super safe location! Drinks: They have a full bar - with all the Spirits you can think of! They also make an excellent traditional Jamaican Rum Punch - with Wray and Nephew and all! Food: Excellent! We had Curry Lobster, Steam Fish, Oxtail, Fish Soup, Breadfruit and Brown stew fish. The items were so good that we got some to go! Everything was perfectly seasoned (not salty) and cooked to perfection. Service: Really nice staff! They were warm, welcoming and inviting. Atmosphere/vibe: We went on a Saturday night around 7pm. It wasn't too busy at that time but got busier as the right went on. There was a live DJ playing the best Caribbean tunes. Age group: we saw folks in their 40's and up. Bathroom: Clean (or "tidy" as we Jamaicans would say) Return: Absolutely!!!

    We stopped by here at 4:10 to eat, all the doors were locked, they open at 4. This was a warning of what was to come. At 4:25, we called to see if they were open, they said yes, we returned and were seated at 4:25. The hostess said she would be waiting on us as well. She brought us water, we ordered drinks, she was the bartender also. We ordered appetizers for 2, shrimp cocktail, & 6 wings, 35 minutes later our apps arrived, had another drink, went to the mens room, washed my hands, no paper towels anywhere, & no air dryer. On the he way to the mens room, see our waitress/hostess/bartender seated at a table in the back room, eating. She did check up on us every 35 minutes or so. She did have to seat 3 other tables while we were here for our 3 hour dinner. My wife had the lamb chops, picture provided, yes they were burnt. Don't want to complain, but 3 hours is a little much. I guess it's hard to provide good service, when you have to eat your dinner. Some guy was walking around the place singing, he had a good voice, but he sung the same song over & over? No live music when we were here, maybe they needed to eat too, before they play. If you like 3-4 hour dinner for so-so food, this is your place. I was hoping for some good jerk chicken, but only jerk rib-eye. I can only imagine how long it would take for dinner if this place was busy, we were here on a Saturday, 430-730 only 4 tables during our 3 hour tour. This place needs a manager, & some sincere guidance to become a restaurant, as to never open your doors, unless you establishment & employees are ready to provide proper service. Wishing you luck, as you have a long way to go. I will not revisit this establishment.

    After a major disappointment finding out that Gabose Pocha was closed for renovations, we ended up…read moreat this Irish pub I used to visit years ago. When we first pulled up, the parking lot was nearly empty, and inside there were only a few people scattered around. My companion went straight to the restroom, so I found a seat at the bar. The first thing we were told was that the kitchen was already closed even though it was only 9 PM which was a bit disappointing since I was hungry. Since it's an Irish pub, they mainly serve beer and wine, so I ordered a Guinness followed by a light beer. Despite the slow start, the night turned out to be unexpectedly enjoyable. We ended up meeting some wonderful people from Italy, Poland, and Turkey. It was especially nice connecting with the gentleman from Turkey, as I had traveled there last year, and we had a great conversation about that experience. The same went for the gentleman from Italy. It was refreshing and easy to talk to everyone. Even after closing, we stayed outside for a while continuing our conversations. The atmosphere inside the pub had a classic Irish feel, very reminiscent of my time in Ireland years ago, with signed celebrity photos decorating the walls adding to its charm. Also money from various countries. The lady behind the bar was extremely friendly and attentive throughout the night, constantly checking in and making sure we were taken care of. It's been years since I last visited, but after this experience, I'll definitely be going back soon.

We ate in the back dart room which was a little quieter and had a bunch of groups also grabbing fish. The back room has a lot of history and is a cool area. Service was excellent and the waitress was friendly and quick. We will definitely be back.

She did a great job balancing it all out but it was definitely not fair for her to be alone. We sat and looked at the menu for a moment. She let us know that there was a delay in the kitchen and we had to wait 30 minutes for our food. But that was ok we were there for good food, good drinks and a vibe so we didn't mind. What we ordered: Rum punch 10/10 Money drink 10/10 Grio with banan 10/10 Ribs with fries 10/10 The food was served hot and fresh! The music skipped a little but that was ok. This place is really affordable unlike these other overpriced lounges... We Will definitely be back!

    I came to The Spot Lounge on July 19 to celebrate my birthday. I've always wanted to listen to a…read morelive sax player and was excited when I learned this establishment has one everyone Wednesday night. Overall my group had a decent time and really enjoyed the sax player. The lounge is a decent size, there are about 5 sections, normal seating at tables, and bar seating. The drinks were good and so were the wings we ordered. One of the members from my group had the rice in a pineapple, though it looked good she had to send it back because it didn't taste good. Our servicer was very attentive and friendly. She was patient and answered all of our questions. The reason for the three stars is because I tried to reach this establishment multiple times leading up to my birthday and didn't get a response until the day of. I called the number a different times during business and sent messages to their social media page to find out if I needed to make reservations. This nearly caused me to not even attend this establishment. Also on Wednesday if you have a group of 5 or more ladies you receive a free bottle of wine. I do wish we were able to choose the wine because we were given an extremely dry wine and no one drank it. So I feel that was wasteful.

I…read morestopped in with a couple friends and was immediately impressed--dim lighting, comfy seating, and a playlist that makes you want to stay way longer than planned. We ordered the Rotana Special mix, and wow... smooth, flavorful, and lasted the entire session without getting harsh. The staff actually checks in to rotate coals without you having to flag anyone down--always a good sign of a well-run hookah lounge. Drinks were on point too. I had their mint tea, which paired perfectly with the hookah and felt like something straight out of a Middle Eastern café. What really stands out is how relaxed the whole environment is. It's lively but not loud, social but not chaotic--basically the perfect balance. Whether you're catching up with friends or just want a comfortable spot to decompress, Rotana hits the mark. Definitely coming back. Highly recommend!

The staff is also very friendly and welcoming, which definitely made the experience more enjoyable. Unfortunately, the hookah itself was disappointing. I ordered the Love 66 flavor, and it wasn't very good from the start. Within about 30 minutes, it became harsh and unpleasant to smoke. A quality hookah should last much longer without burning or losing its flavor. The atmosphere and customer service are solid, but the hookah quality needs improvement. I'd come back if they were more consistent with their preparation, but based on this visit, it was an average experience overall.
