    $10 lunch special Fried chicken, rice & peas with Macaroni Salad.
    Quinnette S.

    Update 2/10/26: I'm a glutton for good food so I went back and tried the $10 lunch special jerk chicken with rice and peas and macaroni salad. THEBOMB.COM, I'm ready for a nap. I followed my coworker to this Jamaican restaurant for lunch--and let me start with a disclaimer: if you plan on being productive after eating here, don't. Just take the rest of the day off now. I ordered the $10 fried chicken lunch special with extra gravy, rice and peas, and macaroni salad and washed it down with a pineapple ginger juice. Baby... I was FULL full. The kind of full where your laptop starts looking optional. I was overworked, overfed, and ready to slam my laptop shut and resume life Monday morning. The food was so good and so filling that I didn't even eat dinner that night. I had a cup of tea and went straight to bed--peacefully and without regret. All jokes aside, the food is excellent. Authentic Caribbean cooking, fresh, flavorful, and made with love--the kind that tastes like your Caribbean mother or grandmother cooked it herself. The service was wonderful, and the portions are generous. Whether you order a regular entrée or a lunch special, you will leave satisfied. Check them out--just don't say I didn't warn you. If you eat this for lunch, you are not working the rest of the day.

    I have been to Jamaica a few time now and have fallen in love with the cuisine! Found this place through a recommendation of a Jamaican friend and boy was he right! I had the oxtail and beef patties! The only problem is that I did not order more! The staff was super friendly and kept me entertained while I was waiting for my food to be prepared! Now that is hospitality with a smile!

    (I ordered delivery) I got the oxtails with rice and peas and macaroni and a Patti and I was pleasantly surprised! I'm a bit of a harsh critic when it comes to Jamaican food (yes im Jamaican) and this was really good! The macaroni was my favorite seasoned very well and tasted fresh. The rice was cooked well, the oxtails were ok they could have been cooked a little more to make them more tender but not bad at all! I want to try other dishes from them for sure!

    Food and services was amazing, was going to stop by on my way home to take a plate to-go unfortunately it was a holiday and it was closed 10 out of 10...

    Jerk Chicken and Curry Chicken combo (not on the menu, but we asked for a combo).

I stumbled upon 215…read moreSpeakeasy like a weary traveler finding a hidden realm, and what I discovered was nothing short of magic. The place is tucked away and low key on purpose, but once you step inside, it's like entering another world. A magical land where cocktails reign supreme and Vincent is the all-powerful sorcerer behind the bar. There's no menu here... and there doesn't need to be. You simply tell Vincent what you're craving, and he conjures it with a flick of the wrist, a dash of bitters, and probably some ancient incantation whispered under his breath. I had three... maybe four drinks (time works differently in magical places), and each one was flawless. Complex yet balanced, bold yet smooth... true potions of happiness. If you're lucky enough to find yourself in this enchanted hideaway on the one night a week it's open, let Vincent work his craft. Just know you'll leave spellbound... and in my case, headed straight to bed, because even wizards can't save a 40-year-old from an early bedtime after a few too many old fashioneds.

The wait was pretty long but the bar was first come first serve so we hoped to snag a spot there instead. The restaurant itself is tight. It's long but thin and the waiting area is like nonexistent so you're basically all huddling around people's tables. Luckily we were able to get drinks while we waited and the drinks were delicious. I ordered "The Crush" which had green grapes in it. It was so refreshing and delicious!! It's been a couple of weeks since we went and I'm still thinking about how good that drink was. I forgot what my bf got to drink but he enjoyed it as well. Finally some seats opened up at the bar and we were able to sit there and I'm so glad we did. Our bartender, I believe his name was Sam, was on point. Just exceptional service from him. He was great at his job and we also really enjoyed our conversation with him. To eat we ordered the deviled eggs, the tuna tartare and the Emerald Kale Salad with Rotisserie Chicken. The salad was just so incredible we ordered one to go as well. The food is absolutely worth coming back here for, the tuna tartare was also fantastic. The deviled eggs were okay, but I'm not a good judge for them as I'm not a huge deviled eggs person. Next time we're in the area I need to come back here. So good!!!

It quickly became clear why the drinks receive high praise! They were indeed delightful and well crafted. However, my experience with the food left much to be desired. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, which were topped with a creamy sauce. Unfortunately, the dish did not meet expectations, falling short in flavor and presentation. I would rate them a mere two out of ten. Additionally, we tried the oysters, which were disappointingly bland. Even with various toppings, they lacked the fresh vibrant taste one hopes for when enjoying oysters. Regrettably, both dishes missed the mark for me so I decided not to order more food and go somewhere else. On a positive note, our server was exceptional friendly, attentive, and accommodating, which helped enhance our overall experience. The restaurant's ambiance was mature and inviting and its location is indeed impressive. Despite the high ratings and popularity, I found the food lacking, which makes me hesitant to return. While I appreciate the quality of the drinks and the warmth of the service, the culinary offerings did not live up to the hype considering the basic dishes I ordered. Go for drinks only!

All of these things were true. Although the energy was high and the restaurant was packed, we didn't wait long for a table. We ordered drinks all around and had a fantastic time. The Margarita Di Calabria was tropical, smoky, and a combination of flavors that I had never experienced before but really enjoyed. The Pink Riviera also reminded me of what I love about living in South Florida - the tropical flavors, the light breeze, friends, and the view - all of these were brought together to make the evening magical. Kudos to the bar for their wonderful adventurous flavors and attention to detail!

We noticed that the posted closing time was midnight on Sundays and since it was around 11 o'clock we felt it was a perfect opportunity to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. The staff was slightly off putting as we ordered. However, I was surprised when the manager, Gab, informed us that we needed to leave before we could finish our drinks and it was around 11:30 PM. I questioned the early closing, as I had seen the midnight closing time, and he said that they were closing early that night. This experience was quite unexpected, bazaar, and disappointing as I've never encountered such a situation in any restaurant in this area. They really put us out before closing before we could finish our drinks. I would recommend making a reservation if you plan to visit as walking in for drinks late in the evening may lead to a similar experience.

We drove up just before open and it's such a huge property we arrived at the restaurant just a little after. The hostesses were the only compliant I have. They didn't seem happy to be there and I didn't feel a sliver of hospitality from them. They didn't walk us over just said to go on through despite never having been here before. Nina was AWESOME! She was so pleasant and informative. She got excited for everything we ordered and talked about the history of each item and why they were good choices. I got the skinny pina colada. My husband and I shared and I'd say we split it pretty 50/50. According to my husband, it is the best drink he's ever had. My favorite drink back home also has the Malibu rum but ohh I couldn't drank more of these! Nina raved about how while there is alcohol you also get the benefits of coconut water and the fresh pineapple so you don't feel horrible. I felt good and it was so refreshing! I'll need to try to make this back home! We ordered the truffled Parker house grilled cheese, seafood club, and wood grilled burger. I did not get a picture of the grilled cheese but the bun resembled challah bread. It was so fluffy topped with a butter shine. It melts in your mouth and it comes with tomato soup. I didn't try with the tomato soup but by itself it was amazing! The seafood club as Nina put is as if a lobster roll and a BLT had a baby. That thing was MASSIVE. I definitely could not finish. I probably ate 1/8 because it was huge! It also came with truffle fries and it was all so delicious and fresh. My husband KILLED that burger so suffice to say he enjoyed it lol If you do valet parking, they do validate although there is self parking as well but it is very very limited unless you go early. They scan your ID as you enter the premises and lead you to where you an enter self parking or the valet entrance. Beautiful experience and 100% recommend. Everyone I know who's been here has nothing but nice things to say about the breakers in general and the view is beautiful from the bar. We'll be back!

The fish that swim in the clear glass are so pretty. Clownfish I think? I've been at a table twice before, but I much prefer the barstools to watch the fish and look at the sand and coral. The bartenders are always very professional, but friendly if you talk to them. As for the menu, it's not a large list, and it's very expensive. I've had the crab nachos and the seafood tower and both were terrific. A guy next to us last night had the burger, which I wouldn't choose at a seafood bar, but he seemed happy with it. A man on the other side of us had two shots of whiskey at $260 a piece. I couldn't believe it! So it's a fun place to people watch as well, and of course just walking through the Breakers Hotel is a kick. I like to think of all its history. If you are rich, it's a nice place for a date. If you aren't rich and want a special evening, I can recommend it. I self parked for free, but if you valet you can get your ticket validated.
