Tried this place for the first time after passing it many times. Good thing not many people here – one family- as my appetizer order is taking awhile. The service was painfully slow by the waitress did apologize. I sat at the bar and it is to high to eat comfortably so sit at a table or take out.
The food
I had 2 appetizers: the wings and the callaloo. Both were tasty. Great hot sauce!
Good place to go for Caribbean quick fix. Next time would probably get food to go.
My dining experience at Island CZ ( pronounced seas) was very good. To be honest I was a bit skeptical because of the not so good reviews.
My friend assured me that the food was good because she had visited in the past. The first thing that I noticed was the "A" grade outside on the window which makes a bit happy.
As we waited for a friend to come and dine with my friend and I, the waitress was kind enough to let us sit down and wait for her.
The decor was simple but nice. Just enough decorations without it feeling or looking like too much.
Our food orders arrived at the same time which was great because I was ready to eat.
The food was amazing and so delicious and I was well pleased with my choice.
We sat there in the restaurant for hours after eating just conversing and enjoying each other's company with no attempts from the staff to kick us out. The waitresses were very nice and attentive, they were always checking to make sure that we were good. I would definitely come back here to dine again.
I finally had an opportunity to dine at Island Cz Cafe, a small Jamaican restaurant located in my neighborhood. I ordered the chicken oxtail rasta pasta (pasta marinated in homemade Alfredo sauce, onions, garlic, peppers, carrots, Island CZ spice) for $19 since I was curious and wanted to compare their dish to the infamous Footprints Cafe. I was very satisfied. It was an excellent portion, rich, creamy, and so delicious. Service is a bit slow despite the few patrons that were present at the time (5:30pm on a Saturday), but overall the politeness of the staff made it a great experience. Very authentic Jamaican music playing lightly in the background makes it easier for conversation. The televisions were tuned to sports, but there were no captions so if you're at the bar it's difficult to follow along. Nice, spacious single stall unisex bathroom. I hated that the back door, located near the restroom, was open so there was a draft.
Food is typical Jamaican fare
This place was ROCK.ING last Saturday
(reason for my five star review)
DJ was super on point
The bartender was serving it up
