Went here with friends for some jerked chicken with plantain chips and it was delicious. Also tried a cocktail similar to Moscow mule but with rum - yummy! Really nice staff, good ambiance and awesome beats in the background. We also got some desert and it didn’t disappoint. Highly recommended!

Food was fantastic, I had the ribs and we ordered the empanadas- so delicious with the mango marmalade. Drinks were on special. Music was wonderful. Sun was shining and sat on the warmed patio. Only thing that would make it better would likely be a few more wait staff.

My vegan girlfriend and I were really happy to find a Reef location in Mt Pleasant on Main Street. We were used to the location on the Drive which seems to have been turned into an Indian restaurant.If you're vegan and trying out this restaurant, I recommend the jerk tofu dish with cabbage salad and streamed veggies. Delicious Caribbean good.

Had a nice lunch time here! Foods were great, but a bit salty for me when it came to the chicken jerky. However, the pork ribs we ordered was fabulous, very tasty and authentic tomato sauce. Service was more than excellent! The server was so nice and friendly, she made sure we were feeling good with everything, and we actually did! Will come back someday.

WORST SERVICE EVER. Waited over 50 MINUTES for 1 plate of West Indian Curry (Chicken and Potato) and Fried Chicken burger with banana chips. It wasn't even busy. Also, where is this complimentary bread" everyone is talking about? We didn't receive any.When we were finally served the West Indian Curry

A properly authentic experience. I saw Tiger Malt on the menu and ordered it. Totally tasted like the fizzy version of the malt extract, this thick gooey product you could buy in a tin when I was a kid. My wife does not like it, but wow, totally took me back. The service is not fast here, don't be in a rush when you come here.

We stumbled on this restaurant because we were hungry on our stroll. The restaurant was pretty nice, I liked the vibe. I ordered the jerk wings and yam fries, I thought it was good but I have tasted better jerk. I would go back for the meals though. I really loved the free corn dough it was tasty and reminded me of Nigerian buns. Our server was welcoming too. The prices are good

Cozy is the word that best describes this place. Even on the patio outside thr heaters keep iT really warm. Old style things always work better.Little dark inside but making your way through the restaurant to your seat isn’t hard. There is actual fireplace heater inside but the whole place is warm enough. Ok enough talk about warmth.Food- menu is simple with easy to choose options. Apparently i took my time to read all the ingredients under the dishes and my server helped me understand the cooking process. ( i missed taKing pictures of the menu)I was gonna try a unique carribian dish so i took my time. Honestly the spices are more or less like indian food but the taste is different. I loved my dish of cod fish n rice with a twist of local fruit n spicess. (Obviously fruit must be frozen ) Introductory fried bread dumpling was amazing. Tofu was marinated in the spices and fried so it gave a very stronng taste of cloves. U must try their cocktails as there are number of interesting ones. Infact there is a tiny open bar.Overall a good experiment.

We had such a good time at The Reef! The atmosphere is laid back, the music fun, and the decor funky with cool lights and bright colours. It felt a little like being in the Caribbean. They make their own ginger beer so their Dark and Stormy is delightful and spicy. They also have a great rum punch, and two cocktails come in awesome coconut cups! We only tried the plantain chips, which were delicious, but plan to go back soon for dinner.
