Had to ask twice for side plates (we ordered sharing dishes), felt like we were forgotten about through the service & had to flag down a different server for water & the bill.
Too much piece of fat in the griot (made almost half of my plate). Also, the fries were cold & soggy. But perfect ambiance, great music, & amazing service from the waiter!
I had an incredible experience at the Tropikal yesterday. The vibes & decor exude a fancy tropical atmosphere that I loved. Although the host wasn't at the door initially, the service promptly fetched her. Our server was exceptionally friendly, & our tropical sour drink, while great, could have been a tad sweeter. The fried calamari was exceptional, accompanied by a delightful creamy sauce. All main dishes were well-seasoned, but the plantains were a bit burnt – our server quickly replaced them, though. Personally, I think the plantain sauce is unnecessary. I appreciate the celebration of Caribbean roots without being overshadowed. Overall, a solid 4.5, & I'll definitely be back.
Amazing service & food! Servers were attentive & kind!! Manager is amazing! Fave part was the plantain donut dessert 😋! Coming again for sureView more
Stopped in at the end of December. Very nice inside. We had jerk chicken tacos, chicken wings & rice & peas. Everything was delicious. Service was friendly & knowledgeable. Will definitely return.View more
Service was very slow, the steak I ordered medium rare was well done & the sweet potato puree was ice cold. All the server responded was I took the order didn't cook it. If your going to pay $ 55. For a meal it better be worth it & this was not worth it.View more
It was my first time going with a friend & I really enjoyed the Rasta pasta oxtail, jerk chicken wings, plantains & more. However, Candace was absolutely horrible... she had an unpleasant attitude & quite frankly I am not sure how she gets away with it. Employers should really look into the servers' behaviour as it greatly contributes to the overall experience. Nonetheless, at least the hostesses were amazing & the food was good.View more
First impressions, the aesthetics were nice. The food was below mid, we got cabrit & it was burnt. The jerk Mac n cheese & plantain was really good. Got passion fruit margs, they tasted strong but no flavour. Music was a vibe. Service is really where it started to go down hill. The bartender was nice but knew nothing about the menu even though he's supposed to take food orders. Our server barely served us, we had to ask the hostess or other server for any requests or info & waited 15 min for our bill. Not likely to recommend to anyone unless they want to grab drinks & listen to good music.View more

The service was great. However, the person I was with was accidentally served raw chicken. The server quickly talked to to the kitchen & replaced it. Overall the atmosphere was great.
