Accidentally finding this speakeasy was a fun surprise! Delicious food. Kind service. Cool vibes! I'll definitely visit again.

Perfect example of not judging a book by the cover...this place is an underground treasure. Food was AMAZING and service excellent. Nice quality spot to have an intimate dinner or go out with a couple friends.

The food is alright. It isn't bad but it's nothing that has blown me away. Their selection of rum and liquor from across the Caribbean was impressive. The vibe is cool but it's so narrow and small in there. The staff is polite. For the music, vibe and service it's a yes. For the food I would say don't kill yourself to get there. I think the menu lacks imagination and needs to be elevated. Why pay dine in restaurant prices for hole in the wall basic food. You can literally cut the cost and get the same quality from any Jamaican take out place. Sorry not sorry

I meant to write this review a while ago. I went to brunch on a Sunday and the food was good but my friends and I agreed that the service was off. First, we stood around for a few minutes without being greeted. We had to approach to tell them we had a reservation; our entire party wasn't there so we were told to wait. Not at the bar, just standing. Then, the menu was limited for brunch, wish worked in our favor since we were going for the chicken and waffles but damn. I think the worst part was the issue with the drinks. We were told the bottomless drinks were for the table, the waiter messed up because the bottomless was actually per person. Again, fine if that was stated in the beginning. We asked to speak to a supervisor because this was a big mistake to make. I think every order was $45 maybe, on top of our food. We were given an apology but told the bill stands. We thanked them, paid, tipped and left. We didn't go back because the bill jumped $150 and we were a table of educated women being gaslit into thinking we misunderstood.... after they apologized and admitted the mistake It's been some time, so I may try again.

Well Mangoseed is back! Sorta??? Stopped here before heading to kings theatre for a show, it wasn't far from the venue, and the menu had appetizers we were intrested in. It has a cute speakeasy feel...after passing the bike shop area you're in a cozy restaurant with velvety furniture and decor. The space is small, but that's how speakeasy styles are. The staff was friendly buy didnt seem knowledgeable about the menu items. We know that it recently opened back but it feels like a more soft launch then we are in buissness. The food was not what we remembered from the old mangoseed and the choices were a bit limited. Nothing came out hot and we had to ask some of our accompanying sides. I'm sure with more time, things will get better.

Came here in a Friday night with my boyfriend and had a great time. We both ordered the jerk chicken plate and loved it. The plantains looked dry but to my surprise they were not. The chicken was a little spicy and we liked that. Big disk, I ate 2/3s and have some lunch tomorrow, my bf finished. Drinks are also great! I got the lemonade and my bf had the henny one. I can't wait to come back to try brunch!

The food was amazing. Jerk chicken was outrageous. And the burger was delicious too. Perfect spot for a date or pre-show at the Kings Theatre. Really cool entrance through a bike shop. Definitely recommend it, guy. Super cute.

They've reopened and we were originally excited but it's clear they cannot keep up with the previous standards they set for themselves. The space is a quarter the size as the bike shop is in front now and their menu has about 4 items on it....... Also found out that this business is not black owned as a women by the name of Julie Petrusak is the owner.

Everything I said 4 years ago still stands. The food here is too delicious! Even the strawberry that goes in the prosecco is yummy! I have tried to stop by on days I forget this spot is closed and I curse my belly for for not wanting anything besides MangoSeed because those j*** fish tacos are divine and neither to be trifled with nor compared. I can't wait to go back!
The best pizza place in the neighborhood! Delicious! Delicious! They make a perfect personal sized pizza. Trust me, get your own. You will not want to share. YUMMY!

Came here for dinner Friday night and they were closed. They're supposed to close at 11, but they were closed at 9pm with no sign on the gate. If you went out of business or changed your hours, say so

Solid brunch spot, went around opening time on a weekend without reservation but got busy quickly. Oxtail and grits was so good, the best dish on a cold gray day. $28 for a hefty portion, plus parm grits was thicker than most and definitely cheesy and savory. Friend had the namesake burger and it was good too. Endless mimosa was a good value too, they let you have 1 carafe/person at a time. You’re allowed to order more flavors but when a new carafe/flavor arrives you have to forfeit one from the table. Service was great. Bathrooms are clean.

Excellent food, fresh ingredients, & amazing blend of flavors. We ordered the j*** chicken which was seasoned perfectly and the mango salad which was do refreshing on such a hot summer’s day. My friend ordered the guava margarita and it was so good ! Highly recommend

The food was great, staff was super friendly! The Mac and cheese was heavenly and the cesar sald had actual anchovies! Fish tacos and jersey chicken for the main courses. It was yum
