Reef Restaurant & Lounge

The food was great. The service was great. My server was great. I didn’t get any alcoholic drinks. The atmosphere was chill and nice. What I didn’t like was the pricing I feel like I was overcharged where I should’ve spent been spending $30-$35. I was charge about $41 and some change just for myself. I didn’t have any alcohol I got charged five dollars I was for a can I repeat I can of Coca-Cola for five dollars. at most restaurants soda is no more than $3.99 and then it was two different taxes on the bill. It was food tax. Plus another tax not quite sure what that text was about. I said at the bar we didn’t sit at the tables and it was like a automatically 18% gratuity including the two tax and so therefore that brought a $30 bill to a $41 bill. I just feel like they really got over on the bill part and I wasn’t feeling it and then they charge $20 just to go upstairs to dance in here music no I don’t have a problem with the cover charge but it wasn’t even 11 o’clock. We were in there before 9 o’clock and I feel like it should’ve been a $10 cover charge the dance hall open up at 10 o’clock. It wasn’t even 11 o’clock yet and they were charging $20 just to go in to the dance hall. I’ve never been to a place where you if you have to pay $20 before 11 o’clock and I never been to a place that you have to pay to get in if you are already there for the restaurant in part. I feel like all of it is just to get over. It is excessive and overpriced….especially if you sit there and you eat in a restaurant before hand.

We were in another part of town trying to find something to eat and found Reef right off South Street. This restaurant was perfect, they seem to be down staff so we sat at the bar where they Bartender was so attentive and helpful. The food was OMG good. I love Oxtails and these were some of THE BEST OXTAILS EVER!!! Tender, juicy, full of flavor!!! My husband’s curry shrimp were very good as well and he said his drink was nice and strong. We will be back, and would recommend this to anyone seeking some of the best Jamaican food outside of Jamaica

Food was ok not that great the wings was so good I had sweet and chilly chicken wings and jerk bbq wings I also ordered a curry chicken roti and the roti was so nasty but the curry chicken was ok my husband had the nasty oxtails With mashed potato and the nasty mac and cheese also he had a rum punch that was good now for my lemonade and pineapple juice was very nasty taste like water I give this spot a 4 outta ten because atmosphere was not bad and my waiter was just ok Ohh and I forgot to mention someone tried to robbed my husband so I advise you don’t use the bathroom downstairs if the place is not crowded you have been warned!!

Came back to try the rasta pasta after coming for a friend's birthday event. I'm going to be honest it was not my favorite and the chicken was dry. In addition, the wings which I had last time were also unflavored and dry.. staff was nice. Nice ambiance however food needs some modification. Last time I had the oxtail and enjoyed them. May come back for that..

We came 30 minutes before closing and the staff was nothing but welcoming. They were quick to get orders in. Our waitress, April, was GREAT. My friend ordered a drink and didn’t like it. April took it back and reassured us it was no big deal. Great customer service. The food was AMAZING. I cleared my plate, all of my friends took their food in a box home. Great portion sizes. Drinks were strong, but sweet. I’ll be back next week 😃 Amazing. 10/10 will recommend.
