    On my way out
    Cindy A.

    I am someone who gives a great deal of grace, especially to those working in hospitality, because I understand the stress of dealing with multiple personalities and high-pressure environments. Unfortunately, this experience was extremely disappointing. I visited from Texas and came with a friend who is local. We ordered three crab clusters each at the same time. My friend received her order correctly, while I was initially brought only one crab leg. When I explained that this was not my order, the server simply walked away without addressing the issue. I later flagged down my waitress, who assured me she would personally bring the correct order. After quite some time passed, she returned asking how my food was, despite never having brought it. Eventually, I received only two clusters instead of the three ordered. When I pointed this out, the waitress attempted to convince me that the two clusters on the plate were actually three, then she left and came back with a manager who clearly acknowledged that there were only two clusters served. After finally receiving the third cluster, I was told there were no utensils available to crack the crab legs. Unless you have very strong hands, I would not recommend ordering them. To make matters worse, our waitress disappeared for long stretches of time. We repeatedly had to ask other staff members for a to-go box and our check, both of which took an excessive amount of time to receive. When the waitress finally returned with the bill, she had the audacity to ask how the meal was. What stood out most was that the guests seated on both sides of us were also visibly frustrated and discussing the poor service they had experienced. An 18% gratuity was automatically added to the bill, and many of us came to the same conclusion: because the tip is guaranteed, the quality of service is none existent.

    Parking: There is a lot in front of the business with a valet, but it is self-parking for a $10 fee. Street parking is free, but the attendant let me know he frequently sees break-ins, so i opted to park in the lot. The overall aesthetic of the restaurant was fine. There was light music in the background and it presented as a casual place! Plenty of people at the bar, enough space for a graduation party, and a nice, enclosed patio area that I'd like to sit on next time! Drinks: I had whatever form of tropical mimosa they had. It took a while to reach our table, but it was good! Food: I had the curry goat and my friend had the coconut curry shrimp dish. Portions were good, presentation was good, and the food was served fresh and hot. Service: This is where they lost me at. Initially, our server was very kind and attentive, however, after she took our food orders she was almost impossible to track down. We were trying to identify her to flag her down for napkins, but she didn't even look our way as she dropped napkins off on the table directly next to us that was so close I could tap the next patron's shoulder. When it was time to pay, we had to flag down the manager who then was having trouble using the POS system and unable to find our waitress which further prolonged our stay at the restaurant. When we finally did get the bill, it had an automatic gratuity which we were told is mandatory. Automatic gratuity makes sense so everyone makes their money, but is not a free-pass to not give service to your tables and disappear. Not sure if she went on break or not, but future-state, i would recommend getting someone else to cover the tables you're responsible for. If I came back, it would be for take-out.

    Oxtail Dinner
    Dee R.

    This was my first time at this location. Sooo good! As a caribbean gal, I'm definitely picky! But they checked off all the boxes! The oxtail plate was sooo good! The meat portion could have been a tad more, but the taste and spice level was there! Service was a1 ! Drinks amazing! Definitely will return!

    Oxtail Dinner- YES THIS IS HIW THE PLATE WAS PLACED ON THE TABLE!

    This past Saturday a friend came to town and wanted to check this spot out. I called before driving to midtown to ask if we needed reservations and to determine if they had a dedicated parking lot. I was advised that we could just walk in if we were planning to dine within the next. 30 min or so. That would be around 5pm on a Saturday. Regarding parking - I was told there is a desiccated parking lot. It is valet parking for $10. When we pulled up it was clear that the valet parking was NOT really valet parking . Don't expect your door to be opened, your car to be parked for you, or it to be dropped off to you upon your departure! Honestly they should just ditch the "valet" and say that there is a charge of $10 to park. When we walked in we were greeted by a nice sign and a host stand. We were immediately seated at a table near the restrooms. There were plenty of staff working, yet there was a delay in an initial greeting by our wait staff. After about 10-15 minutes a wait staff did finally ask if anyone had assisted us. We told her no. At this point our wait staff decide to speak up and say yes it's my table! Once our wait staff finally came over she took our drink orders. When she returned with the drinks we placed our food order. I opted to go with the turkey wing plate and my friend ordered the oxtails. In addition to the entrees we ordered a side of plantains and coco bread. The food came out fast! Honestly I feel like most of this food is cooked ahead of time and there is no reason to delay bringing it out- so I am ok with the food coming out quickly. After we blessed the food we dug in! The coco bread was nothing special. Honestly it tasted like regular white bread to me. From past dinning experienced the coco bread here is not the correct texture or taste. Maybe there are different types of coco bread??! The turkey wing had great flavor but were tough and not fall off the bone tender. I took them home and cooked them in the oven to have that fall off bone experience. I enjoyed the taste of the rice that accompanied my meal as well as the plantains. My friend said the food had a good taste, but the oxtail were too small for the price of the meal. I will say that I think they should take more pride in presentation. The oxtail plate has gravy dripping down the side of the plate when it was placed on the table. (See picture attached). Overall, the service ended up being decent, it's a low key vibe and the food is ok. Will I go out of my way to return- no. It was not a memorable experience.

    Made a reservation for Saturday brunch and were able to get seated right away. It was very lively and the music was coming from the DJ in the room, but it was pretty loud and hard to hear each other. We ordered the Jerk Chicken eggroll which was good and the Shrimp and Grits which was great. I declined the valet only parking and parked down the road for much much cheaper.

    I came here spontaneously because I saw a post on IG. It was after brunch so the dj was wrapping up. I was warmly greeted and offered a table or seat at the bar, I opted for a seat at the bar. The music selection was cool. I was dancing in my seat the entire time. My server was Nelly B and she let me know that it would take a while for my food order since they were switching over to dinner, so I ordered the Jerk chicken egg rolls and a lemon drop. My egg rolls were ok but my drink was really good! My meal eventually arrived, I ordered the pineapple chicken rice. It arrived in a carved out pineapple, which was really cool. On a scale of 1 through 5, I would give it a 3.5. Overall, I will definitely return for their live band and maybe another item on their menu.

    Ox tail egg roll

    I was really looking forward to trying the oxtail egg rolls, but they were a huge disappointment. They were extremely dry ,and the filling was mostly cabbage with very little oxtail. The meat that was there was dry and lacked the rich, flavorful taste you'd expect from oxtail. The egg roll itself was overcooked and tough, making the whole thing feel heavy rather than crispy. Even the dipping sauce couldn't save it. For the price, I expected something much better. Based on this experience, I wouldn't order the oxtail egg rolls again or recommend them. P.S - the food has frostbite bite

    The vibe is great here! I will absolutely give them that. Was greeted by the waiter not too shortly after I was seated and was able to order the Oxtail Dip and Pineapple Paradise. The appetizer was fantastic. Those chips were the best I've ever had. Extremely crunchy and tasted good all by themselves too! The dip was very rich and cheesy & the oxtail fell off the bone. My Pineapple Paradise drink supposedly had tequila in it, but it just tasted like a good juice. I had asked if there was actually liquor and I was told it sneaks up on you, but there was no sneaking after I had finished the whole thing lol. Now the downside of this visit is the fact that it took 45 minutes before the waiter came back to my table to take my order for an entrée. It seemed he was more interested chatting with the table that smelled like a dispensary when they walked in and dancing around the restaurant, not even glancing at my table. It was unacceptable and by the time my food came, I had about three bites and was ready to skidaddle. The Rasta Pasta w/ Oxtail was very good from what I had, but doesn't heat up well at all the next day! First time having Coco Bread as well & it was great.

    I went to Spice House in Midtown with some friends on a Monday around 6:30 and the restaurant was pretty empty, which was nice. Our server Diamond did an excellent job explaining the menu and giving details on certain items. The food came out hot and quick. I ordered the oxtail egg rolls and this was the first time I had them presented with whole pieces of oxtail on top. It was such a nice touch and of course they were delicious. The sauce that came with it was perfect. I also tried their happy hour specials. The tropical long island was so good, I could not tell you what is in it but it hit the spot. I ordered the five piece lemon pepper wings and they were fried to perfection. Fried hard and exactly how I like them. I tried some of the oxtail fried rice which came with oxtail on the side and some fries too. This is hands down my favorite Spice House location. The food is always good every time I come. On certain nights they have live music or DJs which adds to the vibe. One thing to note is there was no valet charge this past Monday and I appreciated that.

    Crab

    Went for a special that was advertised on their account. $5 crab while supplies last and $5 drinks all night. The restaurant stated that the promotion was for $5crab clusters only and that the drinks were normal price. The management said that the post was for an old promotion (even though it was posted the day prior saying that they would have it EVERY THURSDAY. The management refused to honor it. They also advertised a live DJ but there was no dj until later on (maybe almost 8 pm) Decided to stay anyway for the $5 crab which is still a great deal. The crab was great and the sauce was flavorful. Ordered 2 drinks that were very good and strong. (Had a lemon drop and a vodka soda) Service: the interaction upon first entering was a little awkward. The hostess seemed a bit frazzled. There were not any greetings or pleasantries exchanged. however, we were quickly seated for our reservation. Once seated, it took quite a while to be helped. Once the waiter came she was very friendly and had a positive attitude. Table was very sticky, even after we asked the waitress to wipe it down. Unsure if it was the material of the table or what. It was unpleasant and everything- including napkins and my purse stuck to the table. Parking: there is a self parking lot but it's $10. There is free street parking if you are able to find a spot but we were warned that the area has frequent break ins. Overall the 1 star is for false advertising. If there's a promotion being advertised, it should be honored. Especially with it being just the day before

    We had a great time celebrating my mom's birthday brunch at Spice House Midtown. We made reservations ahead of time, and they seated us promptly as soon as we arrived. The food and service were both fantastic. The ambiance was nice, it had a bohemian island vibe. We started with the jerk chicken and oxtail egg rolls and the fried green tomatoes, and they were all really good. For the main course, I had the shrimp and grits, my mom had the lobsterman fried rice, my daughter had the French toast, and everyone else had the island boy breakfast. Everything was so delicious and the portions were so filling that I couldn't even finish mine! I really love how this location fuses different Caribbean island flavors with American dishes. I'd definitely recommend it and we will definitely be back!

    we had to reconstruct the place...

    Words cannot describe how terrible my experience with this place was. My extended family decided to go to this restaurant for my aunts 50th birthday. We spent days working on decorations and spending time on this birthday. Only to get ruined by this crappy restaurant. When we got to the place, we walked in and had a reservation planned for a private indoor patio. The staff told us that the patio was under construction and we could not even walk into it. We had to argue with them to actually get access to it and then we had to clean it up and tidy it ourselves. The food was also terrible. The only good thing about the place was some of the staff. Overall do NOT come to this place and save yourself the time of not going.

Got there before my dinner date and I was very excited with the remodel. Larger, phenomenal decor. It was lovely before and now it's elevated and has a lounge feel. 5000 stars from me on that. Sat at the bar, small bar chat with the bartender. Going to our table is when the energy started to shift. The server just wasnt the right match for us. My company wasnt sure what to expect. She asked the server how is something, she gave bare minimum telling ingredients. Even when asked if she had it, nothing. Food was good as I expected. Had the Rasta pasta with salmon. Which I knew was an up charge. For some reason my brain didn't register $18 for salmon. Or maybe I thought this was going to be a hefty size. Anyhoo, a time was had. Bill comes $65. Includes a 18% surcharge. I realize this is becoming a thing along with asking if you'd like to customize the tip. I simply asked about it. And was asked if I'd like to see the menu. That was the final for me. She started off with an extremely dry sit anywhere. No have you been here before. It was the quality of service from her for me. Not dynamic to match everything else. Even though the upcharge was a bit weird to me. I would have had no issue if the server matched. And on the way out, no one said have a great night, or come back soon. There was one other customer inside. lol. Would I go back, hmmm I don't know. Would I continue to recommend this restaurant. Seriously doubt it. I'd rather go to the other restaurants that treat everyone as if there doing us a favor.

    As someone who is known for seeking out and truly testing vegetarian options at Caribbean…read morerestaurants, I have to say--Miss Conduck is easily the best Caribbean flavor restaurant in Atlanta. And coming from a Jamaican background, let me be clear: the usual Trinidad vs. Jamaica debate does not apply here. This place stands on its own. From the moment the food hit the table, one thing was consistent across everything we ordered: it was hot, fresh, and made with real intention and flavor. We started with the fried cauliflower bites. The batter was light, crispy, and well done--definitely a solid starter. I wasn't a big fan of the tartar sauce it came with, but it didn't take away from the quality of the cauliflower itself. My friend ordered the jerk chicken rolls, and I have to give credit where it's due--the sauce that came with those rolls was incredible. Easily one of the standout sauces of the night. Next, I had the doubles, and because I like my food with a kick, I asked for pepper sauce. Now, I'll admit--I made my first one obnoxiously hot. But what I discovered was the real winning combination: adding the callaloo on top of the doubles. That was the perfect match. The callaloo itself is blended with so many elements into a rich, flavorful purée, and when paired with the doubles, it created this burst of layered, authentic Caribbean flavor that was just on point. I also ordered a veggie plate with rice and peas, cabbage, and chickpeas, and they did not disappoint. The portion size was generous, and every single item was clearly made with flavor in mind--not just thrown together as an afterthought for vegetarians. I also tried the macaroni pie--it's a smaller portion, but it's true Caribbean mac and cheese, rich and satisfying. The fried plantains were done perfectly--hot, fresh, and with that ideal balance of sweetness and texture. Then came the rasta pasta. My first couple of bites, I thought it needed a little more kick--but by the third bite, everything came together perfectly. You can taste the layers of vegetables building flavor, and there's a subtle heat that isn't overpowering but adds depth. The noodles were cooked exactly how they should be--perfect texture, not overdone, not undercooked. One thing I always pay attention to is this: Is a vegetarian-friendly restaurant also approved by meat eaters? And in this case, the answer is absolutely yes. My friend had the jerk chicken, and she said it was spectacular. She actually lives nearby and already plans to come back regularly. Honestly, I was surprised the place wasn't packed wall to wall. The atmosphere is incredible--it has its own unique style that really makes you feel like you've stepped into the Caribbean. The music, the vibe, everything is intentional. The staff was extremely attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. We even watched them handle a large party, and they went above and beyond to make sure that group was fully taken care of. All in all, this place exceeded expectations on every level. Five stars without hesitation. If you're in Atlanta and want real Caribbean flavor--whether you eat meat or not--Miss Conduck is a must-visit. I highly recommend making a reservation and experiencing it for yourself.

My friend ordered the Big Batty Gyal plate and enjoyed the portion size and plate. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. At one point we were the only customers in the building so it was quiet due to no music, but we did not mind since we were deep in convo. I would def stop by again when in the city.
