So this is 1 star for the simply fact that the “security” doesn’t care about the people of Da Real Ting at all. I am taking my wife up the stairs, who obviously had too much to drink, and all they care about is pushing us off the property. I tried asking, “Hey, can I have my wife stand here (where security and police are) so I can pull the car around.” All they do is push me to leave the property. So apparently they have no concern or care for anything but their paycheck.
A Friday night, I worked very late @ law office upstairs, I stopped in for a drink on the way out... during a festival! The gentlemen at the door were hilarious and made sure wine was on the menu for me at De Real Ting. The ladies inside were so sweet and I enjoyed watching the locals sing their karaoke songs ?. I will be back to hang out!
Food was good and not overly seasoned we had the shrimp, rice and beans which were medium size shrimp and you got about 8-10 and a deep fried chicken dinner. . Not sure if every Friday but on this day they had a live street music event which was more on the sidewalk but had a great atmosphere. They had tall table couches and seating was like have a lounge club outside with great music. People dancing socializing and having fun. It was a nice time with folks vibing to the music with good food and drinks.
Didn't know they had karaoke ?? Always a blast and the food is slamming??
The Curried Goat is the bomb ?
I went there on a Friday night to hear the live band which was really nice. The bad experience came in with the food. I ordered curry chicken and cabbage only. They gave me more bones than chicken and the cabbage tasted like cold slaw. It wasn’t cooked AT ALL. I advised the waitress of this, she went to get the chef and this lady tells me this is how Jamaicans cook their cabbage. Lady the cabbage isn’t cooked. Instead of taking the raw cabbage away and bringing some cabbage that was steamed she proceeded to say different places cook their cabbage different. You are right lady they do but this isn’t cooked. I will never order from that place again. The other ladies I was with couldn’t eat their cabbage either because it wasn’t DONE. I will definitely go back for the music but will bring in food from else where. That was my first and last time eating there.
Very very poor costumer service ,very rude bartenders ,lil bit of food for high prices liquor all ice lil drink for $25 no plantains they messed food up and no toilet paper in bathroom no live concert at all everyone rude very rude sucks never will come again
Discrimination at its finest. Tried to charge the people behind me $15 a person but my party $20/person. The woman at the door taking cover charge was rude as hell. Once we paid, they wanted $25 for a beer. Which is absolutely ridiculous. We walked out immediately because they obviously didn’t want our service & we will never be back. Trust me. Do not recommend, go 2 blocks down to dos gatos for the best service!
This place is only getting a 1-star because the food was amazing!! I ordered 10 wings and only received 6. The waitress made sure to get the other 4 to me! Other than that, my FIRST experience here was horrible. Staff is very rude.(My fiancé and I were attempting to get the bartenders attention and he kept blatantly ignoring us. After patiently waiting, I grew angry because it seemed as if he was assisting everyone else around us.. we finally got around to him and he told me that he was “purposely ignoring us”, “there are people ahead of y’all”. I told him that he was very rude, and he said “I’ll show you rude if you don’t hurry up and order” with a sarcastic attitude. All I’m saying is, As a “professional “ He could’ve informed us that “there’s others in front, he’ll be right with us” I do not mind waiting, instead of BLATANTLY ignoring others. I made sure to work with another lady bartender named Amanda. Very unprofessional as well! They both were joking/laughing about my situation.. Will NOT go again. Drinks are overpriced, $25.
We love the realting. Accept all the reggae music on a Saturday
