Came here for my birthday on a Thursday night. The food, drinks and atmosphere were great. It was mostly empty, so we got the best service from our amazing hostess/bartender. I was even treated with a slice of red velvet cake for my birthday.
Everything we ordered (oxtails, codfish fritters, and plantain topped salmon) was delicious. Rum punch was perfect and on special for just 8. Will definitely be back!!! Server was also very friendly and accommodating.
They catered my Easter dinner. The food was perfect and their service was so courteous! I would highly recommend them to anyone.
This is a neighborhood staple. I come here very often and so does the rest of my family. They always have an abundance of food and I have not experienced them running out of items early on. Miss Donna is very pleasant always with a smile on her face. I used to live in the area and started to frequent it as soon as they opened and although I've moved 7 years ago I come back weekly.
We had a private room for a party, and the buffet food was excellent. The top-shelf drinks were also excellent.
I love this place! We are in town for a wedding and my sister recommended this place. We came for happy hour and the food was good and the bartender Sammy was kind and very attentive. Her signature mango shot was superb! We will be returning before we leave out. Love the vibes!
The food hit the spot! Authentic Jamaican food. The lady at the counter was charming. I had the oxtail...perfection
I hadn't been in Spices Negril in years look like they made some changes and it's nice I was there for a birthday party
