Coconut Grill

One star only because I had to give them a star to give a review. The customer service is horrendous. The seating protocol is a joke. They skip over you name for ppl they know. Told it would be a 2 1/2 hour wait, and mind you we arrived as they opened the doors.NO ORGANIZATION whatsoever. The manager was rude towards the staff membes and very non-chalant towards the concerns of the customer. We finally got seated only to wait another 10mins for menus and silverware. Then with it being a very limited menu already, they had the nerve to run out of oxtails, everyone ended up ordering the same thing. Now onto the activities taking place on stage... I thought this was restaurant not a side show circus. Ass, tities and dick slanging on stage in costumes is not what I signed up for. Then ppl standing over you trying to get to the stage and take video/pictures is just plain rude, but to add to it they're dancing all on your backs and putting their stomachs on your neck!😠 I know they are wayyy over capacity, so if the Fire Marshals showed up, im sure they would clear it out. The food finally arrived, not impressed at all. The atmosphere is great for the club scene, but not for a restaurant. Definitely will not be returning. I guess the best thing is that it's BLACK OWNED!😞

The inside is pretty laid back. I'm assuming it gets busy after dark. This day in particular, they were out of beef ribs and grouper and they were also out of island fried rice. Needless to say, we left hungry, although the chicken egg rolls, cod fritters, and island chicken lettuce wraps were tasty. The food was inexpensive, hopefully we can return and enjoy ALL that they have to offer. The waiter, David F. was attentive, friendly, and professional. I will update to 4 or 5 stars upon my families return visit.

The food was delicious. I had fish and black rice. This was my first time tasting black rice. It was filled with mouth watering flavors. The music was great. I was there on a casual occasion. However while I was there they had the Haitian meet up group and everyone was socializing. The event was well put together.

From the outside look, I thought it's a mom and pop Caribbean restaurant. But, I was wrong. it's a bar type restaurant. I had guava jerk salmon. I didn't taste any guava flavor, so I think the salmon was a bit plain. The black rice was good though. Salmon is too small for the price in my opinion. I will try Tasso, Haitian fried goat, next time. The place is clean.
