This restaurant is fairly new to the Flatbush area and I wanted to give it a try and decided to go for my birthday in March. Overall service was amazing and ambiance was great. I brought my sister and mom here for my birthday and my mom is Caribbean and can be hard to please. So the fact that she and my sister enjoyed the food says a lot of this establishment. My mom and I had the Grilled Branzino and my sister had the Oxtail Pappardelle, and it e all enjoyed our food. I will definitely go back again! read more

TGK - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Food 4/5 Service & experience 1/5 The food was very good but it's overshadowed by the poor time management. Branzino, jerk chicken and lobster rolls were very good and flavorful. Sadly, the food is the only positive comment I have. We made a reservation on Yelp for a party of 5 at 6pm and were informed on arrival that all Yelp reservations were canceled due to an error with Yelp, which we were understanding of and the staff managed to seat us within an hour. However, that the 1st of many long waits. Timeline of our experience: 7pm seated at table 7:15 menus were provided 7:30 food was ordered 9pm appetizers arrived 10pm entrees arrived 3 hours between being seated and the actual meal is ridiculous. Due to it being a high traffic day there was a pre fixed menu of 4 appetizer options and 7 entree options which should've allowed the kitchen for a speedier turn around but as shown in the previous timeline, that was not the case. In addition, 1 appetizer and 1 entree were unavailable after 2 hours of the restaurant opening which further indicates how ill prepared they were for the day. Would've loved to have a better experience. But probably won't be coming back. read more

This is an unfortunate experience for what could've been an easy 5 star experience. The aesthetic is beautiful, the music is good and the the food and drinks are absolutely delicious. You can order any food and it will feel like the right choice. The following is for a table of 3. Unfortunately upon arriving, we had to wait 15 minutes with no attention before complaining about not receiving water or even a menu. 45 minutes in we got drinks One hour in we got some of our appetizers 1hr 45 min in we got the final appetizer and most of the entrees. At 2.5 hours we cancelled the rest of the order so we can finally leave. Very unfortunate for what is an otherwise great establishment. After a small discount and an automatic 20% gratuity, I'm left very unsatisfied and hope no one else has this experience here. read more

New spot in town! This place is so beautiful, the ambiance, the lighting, the service & the food. When you're there it doesn't feel like you're in Flatbush. I've only been here twice (so far) & it's definitely a vibe, plus they play great music. Met one of the owners, super chill guy & he had us (me & my bestie) try one of his favs on the menu, which was lobster taco & it was soooooo good! Plus they have an upstairs bar/seating area, which I had no clue about lol. read more

Honestly food was great as far as the wait goes we waited about one hour for food and then the boss walked over and pretty much accommodated us for the weight as far as how the place looks it's amazing and for my understanding the place has been open for 6 weeks they were under staffed but the drinks and food was really good imagine it another shot in two months read more

We had a Superb meal! On the table was the Rack of lamb, A little overcooked but not tough or to the point that it required long chewing, beautifully seasoned; Salmon with a side of mac & cheese and gnocchi, it was wonderful, and smoked chicken with a side of truffle mashed potatoes and Rasta pasta, well seasoned & amazing. When the children are impressed with the meal, something great was definitely done right! The ambiance was relaxing and the meal didn't feel rushed. The waitress was able to secure a dessert for our table and we appreciated that. The cons: - 20% gratuity ($40) was automatically added to the bill. Tipping should be at the diner's discretion. -No major issues with the service but there was some downtime between ordering and getting the food, the staff did check in at the table though. read more

A Night to Remember at Gentleman's Kitchen (TGK) As two busy professional women, our free time is precious. Rare. Sacred. When we finally get a moment to relax, we want great vibes, delicious food, and strong drinks. No compromises. So when we chose Gentleman's Kitchen (TGK), the newly opened restaurant on Flatbush Ave, we didn't know what to expect. But from the very first moment, we were pleasantly surprised. Walking up to the door felt special. A red carpet greeted us. A charming gentleman welcomed us with a warm smile and opened the door like true royalty. Instantly, we felt valued. Seen. Appreciated. The second we stepped inside, we were transported. One moment we were on Flatbush. The next, we were inside a grown-and-sexy paradise. The bar was popping. The music was alive. I was 2-stepping all the way to our table without even trying. We were personally greeted by one of the owners and escorted to our table. That alone spoke volumes. The restaurant design was stunning. The tables were arranged in a cozy coves design. Plush seating that invited you to stay awhile. Tropical images glowing across TV screens. The vibe? Immediate love. Then our friendly waitress arrived, full of energy and warmth. We started with their signature drinks and let me tell you, every single one delivered. Bold. Smooth. Perfectly crafted. ( I wish I could remember the name of each drink but we tried 3 of them and they smacked ) Next came the food. That's when the real magic happened. We ordered the smoked chicken with mashed potatoes and the steak with truffle rasta pasta. The flavors were rich. Deep. Unforgettable. Every bite was satisfying. Every forkful full of love. We cleaned our plates completely left no crumbs. Not one. Yes, we were a little disappointed there wasn't a dessert menu yet. But the owner reassured us desserts are coming soon, and honestly, after everything else, we believe him. Instead of dessert, we went for one more round of drinks. That decision turned into a highlight of the night. The second owner also the mixologist came over personally to tempt us with new drinks he was experimenting with. Boy, oh boy... those drinks were delicious. Creative. Smooth. Memorable. The perfect ending to a perfect evening. What truly made the night unforgettable was the owners themselves. Friendly. Charming. Hands-on. They checked on us personally and shared the powerful story of how they came together to open the restaurant. That personal touch meant everything. It made us feel like more than customers we felt like honored guests. I will absolutely be back. Without hesitation. If you're looking for a place with powerful vibes, amazing food, strong drinks, and genuine hospitality Gentleman's Kitchen (TGK) is the spot. Trust me. Go check it out. You won't regret it. Flatbush now has a gem of a restaurant. read more

The restaurant itself is beautiful. The drinks are strong and very tasty. The food is really good too. The lamb chops were moist, the lobster rolls and stuffed shrimp were tasty as well. Overall it was a nice experience, but there were two flaws. I ordered the broccolini and they brought out asparagus, we didn't complain because hey...it's still a veggie right? My crab Mac and cheese started off absolutely delicious, but fell short when I got to the middle and realized there was still solid shredded cheese. The Mac and cheese wasn't cooked/baked all the way through! Ughh disappointed. Would I return? Yes! read more

The 5 of us went there May 16. Had a 5:30 reservation, place opened at 5 so it was not crowded yet. Was told it was happy hour. It took forever for drinks to come. Then we ordered food. It took almost 2 hours before we got it. 2 of us ordered the lobster rolls. It took forever for someone to come tell us they had no bread for the lobster rolls. Then my friend ordered stuffed shrimp. It came out COLD. The so called manager has no people skills. They offered us nothing to compensate for the horrible experience. The bill came they had the nerve to add the tip to the bill! Then they had the nerve to give me some lobster meat on what looked like crackers. And my friend got her stuffed shrimp as we was walking out. We never got an apology or nothing. Needless to say we will never go there again. I don't see them lasting long read more

What a fantastic experience for anniversary date! Food and drink were phenomenal, service was quick, friendly and professional and the music and vibe were perfect. We had the crab stuffed shrimp, the lobster rolls French fries and crab Rasta pasta to start (we are greedy lol) and shared the NY strip which came with some of the best asked potatoes I've had in a while and some delicious asparagus. Will definitely be back with my girlfriends! read more

Great food options and drink menu. I had the rack of lamb and they cooked it perfectl. Drinks are very strong but very good

I really wanted to be empathetic with this establishment but the time went on the experience became worst. First there seems to have been a mishap with yelp accepting more reservations the warranted which led to the restaurant being overbooked. The hostess in the front seemed ill equipped to be able to share accurate information and help me when I was looking to get a table. Thank god the manager came and heard me out to potentially get me a table for me and mother. This was the shining light of the evening but afterward it went down hill. We waited a hour and a half for our appetizers and another hour for our entrees. With a pre-fix menu of $75 dollars per person it felt super inflated for one appetizer and one entree that should have easily been at $40 plus included gratuity of 20%. Most of the menu wasn't available and towards the end of it I saw people being able to order meals that were off menu. Mother's Day sure I get it but there was an extreme lack or urgency to accommodate guests who were seated, and my table was hardly checked up on. If you're going to be in the restaurant business it's times like this that make or break a business. Get a better hostess, revamp your reservation system and get your team on the same page. Sadly you've lost me and I'll probably never return to this restaurant. For others coming here err with caution but if your first experience is great do return. read more

My sister-in-law made a reservation for a party of 8 to celebrate her birthday, scheduled for 7:00 PM on a Sunday. Due to a delay, she called ahead and let the hostess know we would arrive by 7:45 PM, and we were told that would not be an issue, others were already there waiting. We arrived around 7:40 PM, checked in, and were told our table would be ready shortly since the previous party was finishing up. What followed was completely unacceptable. We waited over an hour and a half just to be seated, with little to no communication from staff. At one point, a manager told us the party before us was "refusing to leave," which felt unprofessional and poorly handled. Unfortunately, things only got worse once we were finally seated. No one informed us in advance that Sundays are an all-day brunch menu, which was disappointing given we made a dinner reservation. The table setup was incorrect, service was disorganized, and the manager was rude and unaccommodating when concerns were raised. At that point, we decided to leave without ordering. The venue itself is beautiful (although some chairs already had wear and tear) and has a great aesthetic, but the service and overall management completely overshadowed that. There is a clear need for better organization, communication, and professionalism. Based on this experience, I would not choose to return. Additionally, the individual with the locks should recognize that this environment requires a higher standard of professionalism, and the same applies to the individual with the flattop. Thankfully, we were able to salvage the evening by going elsewhere. read more

This has to be one of the WORST EXPERIENCE of my life!!!I was planning to celebrate my 40th birthday dinner there. I went ahead to planned everything because I wanted to have a memorable experience. I originally had a dinner planned for 8 people for 7 PM. Booked the private room, wanted to set up my souvenirs/ thank you cards for my guests. Went ahead to drop my cake, and souvenir (even told the manager/owner) I was willing to push my dinner for 8 pm. Everything was supposedly set up upon arival! 1st got there, approximately around 7:50PM ANOTHER party, was sitting where I planned to have my dinner. I was not seated until 8:40PM, my table not cleaned properly, my souvenirs were not aligned. 2nd for waiting for soooo long, they gave me a weak drink, while all my guests were standing looking @ each other. No one checked up on me to give me any updates; I was the one who kept asking on updates. 3rd, prior of planning everything, I was giving a prefix dinner menu. When I arrived, I was told they don't serve dinner on Sundays, I have never heard of this in my life. I mean who really leave their house to eat eggs @ 9 pm? Make it make sense. Lastly, the owner/manager, Adonis, is EXTREMELY unprofessional, rude, nasty, combative, and not to mentioned ignorant! One thing I know for sure, in the restaurant business, everything is a red flag. You have to be extremely careful, on how you treat, and speak to your customers. You don't know who's a food critic, or work for DOH, who's going disguise themselves, as someone else to cone and test your place of business. That man cannot serve the public with that behavior. His vulgarity, and incompetency are out of this world. That man was going back & forth with my guests because of his lack of professionalism. That place deserves a negative -40 of a start. It destroyed the urban culture that comes behind these experiences. The manager on the other hand, destroyed my night, not too mentioned my celebration. He needs to be a silent partner and not deal with the business @ all!!I would not recommend anyone to spend a dime in there!!Because of the location, the owner has the mentality that his customers probably going to come in there and beg for food instead of spending money. This place is absolutely DISGUSTING & POOR read more

The food was excellent and everything came out on time! The drinks was extraordinary delicious my favorite is called avoid conflict I love that drink! Lisa my server has an amazing smile great customer service and she checked in as needed she made me feel very welcoming.. As soon as I walked into the establishment this was the first person that greeted me and his name is TexRoy , he made me feel welcome as though I was home in the Caribbean. I love this place ! read more

I don't even write reviews like this but I HAD to This oxtail ragu?? BABYYYY. Fall-off-the-bone tender, rich, flavorful, and seasoned to perfection. The sauce was thick, savory, and clung to every bite like it knew it was the star of the show. And don't even get me started on the cheese + those fresh greens on top... everything just came together SO good. Honestly one of the best meals I've had in a minute. 10/10, no notes. I will definitely be back read more

This is a gem in the neighborhood. Highly recommended for a date night or just a calm outing. Food - we tried the lobster roll, wings, rasta pasta, chicken and steak. All were perfectly cooked and came out super quick. Drinks - that rum punch and old fashion inspired drink put me on my ass, but it was well worth it. It didn't get too packed and there was plenty of space to move around. Music wasn't too loud but fit the vibe well. Lastly, the staff and manager were pleasant and acted like they wanted to be at work. Great times! read more

Went to TGK with my wife and family (no kids). What a dope and incredible experience. Food and drinks were amazing. Everyone got something different (oxtail pasta, both steaks, chicken). Not a single bad option. You absolutely have to try the BBQ Fries. It's not sauced. Think like a BBQ seasoned chip (dry rub). The menu is small but don't let that fool you because there's a great option for every pallet. The staff was all incredible-- friendly and attentive. Some of the best service I've gotten. And the ambience is fantastic. We were in the middle of the main dining area past the bar. Music wasn't too crazy and everyone else around us was having a great time (I attribute this to the food and service). Absolutely will be going back. New favorite spot in the neighborhood. read more
