    Finally! Soft reopening after the pandemic with a limited menu. All the classic favorites are back and the Rum Punch is as perfect as ever! So glad to be back! Thank you Jermaine for the wonderful welcome back and the impeccable service. Wishing all the best during this comeback. I’m sure Negrils will bounce back better than ever. That’s the spirit of the Caribbean, down but never out!

    This place blew me away. It’s definitely Caribbean food done in a classy way. They no longer require masks to be worn & proof of vaccination. The decor has a modern flare with a touch of a green tropical feel. Their food program seems pretty traditional. I felt like they had items on the menu that reminded me of what would be available at my grandmothers kitchen in Jamaica. The food was fresh, flavorful & delicious. Definitely a great place to visit.

    This is still a favorite place of mine for great food! Unfortunately at the time we visited on October 15th, the food costs went way up and the food portions went way smaller. I can appreciate one or the other needing to occur but not both. Nevertheless, the food quality is still amazing. The Staff were beyond amazing! Especially the Hostess "Lasagna!" Shout out!!!!

    We came here as a party of about 6-10 on a Sunday evening. We were able to be seated and accommodated which was great. I started off with the oxtail empanadas which I can say, were actually REALLY good. I would give them at least a solid 9/10, they came with oxtail sauce on the side to dip them in. The portion size was decent for the price. Oxtails were ordered, which I was told were good and seasoned how they should taste. I ordered the curry shrimp, which did include a good amount of shrimp, I can say. It wasn't the best seasoned and actually was more salty than anything. The shrimp were also a bit overcooked. The portion of the rice was unbelievable, especially given the price. Lmao, it was literally like a scoop. Thanks for the two broccoli pieces as well? I realized this restaurant is more "aesthetically pleasing" and "looks" than it is actual great food. We also waited very long for our food, I believe almost like 20-30 minutes before it finally came out. The waiter took our initial drink orders, then dropped them off, without ever asking if we were ready to order any appetizers or entrees. They only came back after they heard us all confused, asking why he just walked away when we knew what we wanted to eat. It has cool signs to take selfies in. The dining service and food can be lackluster, but some dishes are decent or good depending on what you order.

    I really liked this place! Very nice ambiance, decor great vibe! Nice music, I like to keep it authentic. Oxtail stew and greens with rice and peas were my favorite followed by The jerk salmon. I could use a few more pieces of oxtail on that plate though for the $44 price. Overall we enjoy dinner and we'll return on our next visit to NYC.

    My friends and I are such foodies, have been wanting to try and decided to. I will say 10/10 ! From booking the reservation & being greeting by the staff was absolutely easy/pleasant. Our waiting staff was named "ANTHONY" shout out to him for being so attentive and kind. I had the frittas, goat empinadas, my friends and I had entrees of jerk chicken & oxtail, washed down with passion fruit lemonade. Nothing usually reminds me of my mom's dishes but this was a place to be. The space itself is sophisticated yet still playful with its ambience and fun designs, music was great, gave me nostalgia of back home and overall a VIBE !

    PLEASE DON’T LISTEN TO BAD REVIEWS! Not sure why anyone would leave bad reviews. The service was excellent! Rene our waitress was phenomenal! Now to the food! It was spectacular! We had a variety of everything and it was all excellent! The vibe and the atmosphere is worth is. With our without the liquor license bringing your own bottle isn’t a bad thing, it is worth it! If you want authentic Caribbean food and a great atmosphere with amazing music this is the place to be! I will certainly be back!!

    I wanted some good Jamaican food my friend that lives in New York suggested this spot. This is where he took us I was not disappointed. NEGRILS is a great spot, good food, good vibe and great service. I can't wait to go back my next visit.

    Nice clean and spacious spot. Wouldn't think to find this establishment on the location it is in. Service was professional and polite, good to see a mixture of workers. Only hiccup is the portion of food and temperature. Drinks were good and we look forward to trying again.

    It has been years since I've been here. They switched it up and the atmosphere is inviting and welcoming. Our server was awesome and knowledgeable in regards to choices and service. The food was dynamic and the portions were good. My only complaint it's that it is BYOB. It worked out because they have a liquor store around the corner. The selections are minimal but if you get some rum the restaurant rum punch is good. Definitely plan on going back soon and bringing the family with me. The codfish fritters are delightful The spring rolls are delicious The oxtail with the peas and rice stellar. My friend enjoyed the fish as well.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my meal (cleaned my plate :o). The appetizers were yummy too, I had to give the garlic butter its own pic. We were celebrating my daughter’s birthday and they remembered from my special note in the online reservation made. That was thoughtful. There was a charge for the dessert they brought out, which was fine… it was also delicious. They do not have a liquor license right now which they remind you of at the door. If that’s something you desire or need, plan ahead. There is a liquor store nearby and you are charged a bottle fee. See their website or call ahead. Our server was pleasant and personable. After ordering, our food was perfectly timed. The restroom was clean and there was a lovely attendant on duty (tip her!) They also had a photography team in duty for photos for a fee. This was Easter so not sure if this is the norm. Lastly, the music was fabulous.

    Lovely experience. Really enjoyed the decor. Forgot to take a picture of the food but it was good. Please give Linden a raise. He was an excellent, attentive, and friendly server. He truly cared about our experience especially the spice level of the food. Would definitely dine here again. It felt very home like. VIBES

    This place is both 💲💲💲 and 🔥🔥🔥. Atmosphere and service were fantastic. Food was even better. We shared the appetizer tasting plate and entree tasting plate. Everything was fantastic. From cod fritters to oxtail and everything in-between. Perfectly seasoned. I would go back again.

    the food was amazing!! loved the non-dairy rasta pasta take although there chicken was a tad dry. the oxtail empanadas are also super yummy

  • 4/5 Tracee L. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything we ate was delicious, from the seasonings, to the presentations, and portion. We had jerk wings as our appetizer and jerk salmon and curry shrimp as our main dishes. Our server was very attentive but not overbearing and did not rush us even after we finished our meal and chatted. The establishment is not currently serving alcohol but even so the food, atmosphere, and service made up for this! Lastly, the venue is gorgeous with two floors of a vibey tropical theme. I can see this being a spot for weekend events and being a hot spot for local young adults. Would def come back and recommend.

    Had a lovely solo brunch and the food was delicious. They had a drink special and I had the coconut rum punch and it was great. My waiter was friendly and attentive but not overly so. The DJ made the vibe feel right.

    Their food is full of flavor! Had the Negrils tasting platter which consisted of oxtail, curry goat, jerk chicken and rice & peas. Everything tasted amazing. Also tried their chicken goat empanada which also tasted amazing. Their Mac and cheese was decent. Great service and beautiful atmosphere.

    We shared a tasting platter and two sides and came home with leftovers. Very tasty authentic caribbean food with great non alchoholic options such as sour sop lemonade. Does not disappoint. The service is friendly and helpful.

    I’ve been to Negril Village a number of times, but this was by far the best experience I’ve had. Food was top tier and seasoned to perfection , our waiter Basir was the best waiter I’ve had in a very long time. He was so attentive and made sure our experience was well worth it. Will be back again soon. Food so good we didn’t get a picture lolol
