    The service here is poor. It starts from the person that answers the phone, his customer service is very poor i almost thought i was calling an individual's phone instead of a business. After all that we waited a hour and a half for our food (thinking it was well prepared). The fish was stale, the potato was salty and the fish was overcooked, we got corned fish instead of steamed fish. The only part that was enjoyable is the photo booth

    The food was amazing. Great prices as well. The entertainment was good and the ambience. The physical environment was not too bad. You must try the loaded fries and the wings, it was so delicious.

    Really nice setting on the patio. Great ambience. Quiet place for a date, or just to relax in the middle of Kingston. Went for a private function and the customer service could have been improved. The staff seem low in numbers so the wait staff seemed tired and impatient. Has a long wait for the food and when it came, the condiments were missing. The food tasted okay, but wasn't worth the wait. Food options were limited. Ample parking and good location.

    The new location is nice, of course it's not 100% yet because they just moved so definitely won't pressure thwm there. Customer service is great our server was pleasant and added to the whole experience, I think her name was Lee-Ann. The food took sometime, it wasn't bad but the pasta lacked flavor. The fritters were great though. Just know seh yuh belly ago full cause the people dem na give yuh nuh "taste mouth" 😂. Music was great right through you can definitely have a drink and hold a vibe.

    I had seen some reviews talking about the poor service here but I didn't expect the night I had (especially not for the money I spent). Let me start by saying it was a party of 10 so I was expecting slow service. The server's attitude at first was very off putting but as the night wore on, it got better. The food was bland but the mixed drinks were strong (you'll need them for when the bill comes), some of us were given water at the beginning of the dinner, and it never got refilled. We had to request the list of non alcoholic drinks (a glass of OJ for $350), and the best item is probably the famous bowl pictured below. We were also told after ordering and upon exiting the restroom that, @ 7:30 p.m. on a Saturday, there was no fish available. The bathroom is shared with the café it's attached to, yet it only has 1 stall per gender and the space is so small it might as well be in a NY apartment. This review is long because I hope management will see it and address the issues. P.S. my friend had the wings ($875) and meatballs ($850) pictured below

    Absolutely the worse. We ordered from about 6:15 and didn’t get our food until about 8:20. Usually at restaurants as you are seated you get water but if we didn’t ask, it seems as if we wouldn’t get any. Also it is not rain friendly, where we were seated water was dripping on my friends. The bathroom area is a turn off. The only thing that was okay was the picture area. Everything else was just horrible. And it wasn’t just my group complaining. Majority of the persons in the restaurant were upset about the time they had to wait, till persons even cancelled their orders.

    It is Sunday 11/29. I sat through this entire thing out of the fact that I was supporting a birthday party for a friend of over 16 years. I tried my best to wear my mask as much as possible. However... the experience was extremely horrid. No social distancing, you only show your mask to get in. We were seating in the venue like sardines in a can.. The owner clearly has the police in his back pocket. I'll go no further with that. Ordered food at 6pm... got it after 8pm. I had to buy the waitress a drink because she was tired and obviously flustered handling the overall crowd and multiple tables. Ma friend had fun... and we ensured that he did despite the situation.

    Customer service was good. Upon entry we were greeted by our host. Seated and served water and menu. We ordered and the host advised of time food will be prepared etc. The menu has options from chicken, fish, pasta, ribs etc . The ambiance is okay, the music that plays needs to be G rated if kids are going to be in the audience. Great hang out spot if you want to catch up and have a quick bite to eat. The food is average did have a wow factor.

  • 1/5 Serena M. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is terrible, terrible. 0/10 DO NOT recommend. Our food took 1 hour to come and when it did. It was really cold and just tasteless. Ordered virgin strawberry daiquiri and we got it with rum. The server then came back with a fruit punch juice and said take this one instead, its non alcoholic. Hello if we wanted fruit punch we would have ordered fruit punch. The environment was not it at all. Gave me a club vibe.

    Food taste pretty good. Large portion size meals. High prices. Seating outdoors, no ambiance, staff not very warm... They also had soup on the menu specifically for friday and Saturdays, I went on a Friday night and there was no soup 😔

    One main thing I have to say is KNOW YOUR CROWD! My significant other and I have been restaurant hopping around Kingston trying different places each week and 876 Terrace was our stop for tonight. The restaurant seems to attract a certain type of people, so if you prefer the uptown scene, here is definitely not for you. We waited about 20mins before the server took our order, the food took about an hour, we got our food, finished it and then the bartender was ready to give us our drinks after we finished eating which we declined. We didn’t want to risk our server disappearing again so we asked for the bill and left right away. The food was okay, I had the pork chops and my S/O had the surf and turf. Wouldn’t go back.

    The food was very good and the service was 'okay'. The setting was not the best. They dont give knife only fork and no place mat, just a napkin under the dish. They have all you can eat pasta for $2500 on Thursday nights.

    The food is super good but the service needs improvement. The staff is curious and professional buy the time for meals and orders took too long...... The lighting upstairs can be improved also. A big TV would be nice upstairs also

    They must be doing something tight as it was a good vibe when I went there. The burger I had tasted so good too and the fries. Something about the food tasted like it does at home which I liked👍🏽

    A very cozy place. At least 1,000 sq ft of open space upstairs to dance or to just relax and dine. Always a nice, decent, and elegant crowd.

  • 2/5 Yasheem M. 3 years ago on Google
    Food took extremely long to come, the waitress was nowhere to be found so we didn't even have water to drink or our drink orders. In an attempt to locate her we stopped the hostess who went on to tell us she didn't put us at that table. Bare in mind we made a reservation the day before and was 5mins early. When she realized she did put us there she was making an excuse for the food being late as a result of us being late for the reservation which was a lie. When the food came about 2hrs since we ordered, it was cold, couldn't say anything to the waitress cause she disappeared again lol. Wouldn't bother still cause we just wanted to leave, never again smh

  • 3/5 Moesha E. 2 years ago on Google
    It was a good experience, the food was okay, the photo area was nice and the servers were nice as well they even took pictures for us. The only downfall was the food wasn't reflective of their socials and half the menu was unavailable (don't know if it's always the case or if it's just because of the lockdown), so that was a let down but overall and okay experience I'd say a 6/10.

  • 3/5 Ashley C. 2 years ago on Google
    It was ok even tho I asked for jerk shrimp pasta n they just brought regular shrimp alfredo n charged me for the jerk shrimp pasta, also I didn't like the fact that the guy who served us was demanding us for tips as if to say he put money in our pockets... I mean we had already had it in mind to tip him n d bartender but we never bother seeing that he was too audacious with his demands but otherwise it was ok.

  • 4/5 Samantha B. 1 year ago on Google
    Definitely a great chill spot. The food and drinks were good enough. Friendly staff that made us feel welcomed. They need better menus- The laminated papers ain't it.

  • 2/5 Talya D. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was good but the ambiance was far from ok. They need crowd control. Children and ghetto people were running up and down in the place like wild animals bumping into you while you eat. I thought I was at hope zoo. To add to that the music was so loud that the waitress couldn't hear so we had to be shouting. Won't be coming back

  • 4/5 Sheryl 1 year ago on Google

    Visited there on a Thursday night and it was not crowded. The music was good and we did not have to wait too long for the food. The customer service was not bad but it could have been better.

    Firstly I must say tgis place have some very good customer service and I was totally shocked. From the staff to the food was delightful and I must say 'Big Thanks to Ms Simone' she catered to us and resure my daughter who was sad that she has to get a smile on that face before we lefted. Only few people like this we have and Ms Simone did well and also the chef, we enjoyed every bit and I totally recommend

  • 1/5 sheriann W. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the worst place to eat. Had my wedding reception here due to covid. Paid so much money to have catering style. When arrived with my guests had to wait about a hour because nothing was set up...we were giving cold food and water to drink. Was told ice machine wasn't working so they couldn't serve us the drinks that we paid for in the package deal. It was horrible experience would never return.

  • 1/5 Tashika M. 3 years ago on Google

    Total disaster. From customer service to management poor, poor, poor. 29/11/2020 From all my times of eating out, I have never experienced such poor customer service, and down right slackness. They oversubscribe and couldn't properly serve customers. I went there to celebrate my birthday. I made reservation and paid days beforehand. I had a 6pm reservation and even after 9pm we didn't get a plate of food. Reservation was made for 13 persons with blue and silver décor. Myself and guests arrived minutes to 6. Upon arrival, no parking, we had to park on the street. When we ascended the three story of staircases, we had to wait at the entrance with other disgruntled customers. When finally communicated with the receptionist, the table I was told was mine could only seat 7 persons and had a black and gold décor(not blue and silver as I had requested and 13 persons that I had confirmed). The place was overcrowded, no social distancing and little or no covid-19 protocol was been observed. The music was extremely loud, you couldn't even hear yourself. The waitresses was not pleasant and was not helpful at all. Customer service training seriously needed. I had to ask to speak with management when I explained the error with my reservation and told that she can't help me and how no table gonna be ready soon, so myself and others who can sit should sit. Like are you serious? And what's worst a table became available and she's going to tell me that she was going to give it to another guests who did not pay before. It was her manager/supervisor told her that she had to give it to us. We waited nearly 1 1/2hr before they were able to add another table (which by the way was a tiny round table not adequate to accommodate my guests). The space was crammed and trucked up between tables, you had to squeeze side ways and persons had to get up in order for you to pass. When seated, they took awhile to take our orders. Not even a glass of water we were given. When minutes to 9pm, I asked the server what happened, not even water nor the drinks we could have gotten? Her poor excuse was that we weren't all at the table and she was told it was a table for 7. Seriously?? This bull at this point? One of my guest had to purchase a bottle of water. That's how bad it was and a couple others went and purchase other drinks at the bar as we thirsty and starving of hunger, leaving our dinner at home at waiting over 3hrs for food or drink. Tardiness was the order of the day. When the orders were taken. The waitress came back 3 times to tell us that they didn't have one thing or another and persons had to choose something else. insult was added to injury when the Chef came at 9pm (curfew hours) to tell us that he was out of shrimps and God he knows what else. After 3hrs of wait several of my guest wouldn't have anything to eat. I couldn't endure another second of the madness. I cancelled all the orders and demanded a refund. When I went for refund, the manager didn't even apologize, didn't even do or say anything to soothe the pain, frustration, discomfort or inconvenience experienced. Most establishment like this would have tried to compensate you somehow but not 876 Terrace. The few drinks that we got at 9pm, that I had to beg the waitress to take to us, we still had to pay for them. Good customer service would tell you the drinks is on us and we are so sorry for your inconvenience. And also seek ways of improving your experience. Afterall they mixed up my reservation, I waited too long and was seriously inconvenienced on a day that I was supposed to be happy celebrating. Absolutely no one showed remorse or signs that they cared👎👎👎👎👎 My evening was totally ruined. I was soo upset on my birthday that tears came to my eyes. A meal at any fast food joint would have done more good.

    i had a terrible experience here, terrible customer service. I made my reservations two weeks ago only to come last night and my reservation wasn’t there. To add to it all the persons at the front have no manners and everything is so disorganized. I would never recommend this place to anyone. I should have listened to the bad comments because that’s exactly what i got.
