Ambiance is AMAZING. Went twice when I was in NYC for a long weekend. Drinks are very pricey, but the food is incredible! Servers were attentive. The person bringing corn bread around when you are seated was funny to chat with because I wasn't having any. Awesome place. Worth checking out.

Great food every time! I love the oxtails more than anything. All the food is good. The Door never disappoints!

Caribbean cuisine in both takeout and dine in. A victim of its own success with mob like takeout and rushed service. Great meals once settled down.

The streamed snapper is consistently good but the take out side takes a very long time. I called in 2 dinner orders at 7pm and was there by 830 and so had to wait. I think they lowkey lost my order.

OMG, the food is delicious!!! The service was great, if you ever want to try delicious Jamaican food this is the place. It's a very nice restaurant. I had the drink pineapple ginger, j*** chicken, oxtail stew, surf and turf, mac and cheese and it was all DELICIOUS!

I appreciate the authenticity of The Door. I've patronized your Restaurant for over 15 years. No regrets about any meals purchased. However, the WAIT TIME is atrocious. On 8/19 at 7:13 pm, I called in my order for 2 Large Fried Chicken. I arrived earlier but elected to wait until 7:50 thinking out loud that 30 minutes should be enough time. I get to the counter and was politely asked can you give us another 10 minutes for Fried Chicken. To avoid the waiting area which is filled with dissatisfied patrons also sharing disbelief in the wait time. I returned to my car. At 8:05 pm I returned to the counter and was told your order is not ready. Unreal we are approaching 1hr for fried chicken, not seafood. Nonetheless, at about 8:15 my number was called by NADINE providing OUTSTANDING customer service by extending apologies on behalf of the Door. By no means is it the front line staff's fault. I requested to speak with the manager and also suggested gestures that can help address the customer's frustration. Manager Ms. DOREEN gave me a blank stare with a robotic response. She appeared unbothered by my concerns. The DOOR your establishment continues to prosper because of your patrons without them there is no The DOOR. Please don't take that for granted improve your production and get your customers in and out. The waiting has been flawed for years. Please CHANGE YOUR WAIT TIME!!!!!!

I love the door for over 10 years but the service is so slow. I place my orders for pick up and still have to wait forever to get my food upon arrival. They need to do better they make a lot of money get some people that actually like their jobs.

So after reading the reviews on Yelp I was intrigued to try the food. Upon arriving at the restaurant there was a 10 -15 min. So we elected to get to go. The to go side of the restaurant has a different entrance and it was packed. About 10 -18 people had already placed their orders and 4 people were waiting in front of us to place their orders. So from the looks of it the food perceived to be good. So after waiting about 30 mins for my food be ready I was ready to indulge. My taste buds were truly disappointed. My goat was old and not good at all the rice was hard. I won't be returning.
Order from Uber eats. Food came super cold which I would expect because they dasher stopped somewhere else on a bike to deliver.... But the 3 stars is for the curry goat and oxtail combo I received smh so disappointed! Smh

First time back at The Door since before the virus. The food was very good at this time. We decided to go there on Sunday, and were so disappointed! I ordered Stew Chicken, my fav Jamaican food. After waiting over 30 minutes it finally arrived. It had been sitting on the buffet waiting for a server to serve it. The stew chicken was just awful! It tasted like baked chicken covered in a little gravy & a lot of BBQ sauce. Stew chicken usually has many layers of flavors due to the ingredients and long slow cooking. Returned it and replaced with Curry Chicken, which was equally horrible. I'm not Jamaican but I have eaten a lot of the cuisine and know what the flavors should be. Will not return.

Always a good experience at the Door. It was quiet for a mid-week dinner but the service was great. J*** chicken tastes like drum it may have been cooked on and the curry goat was excellent! We tried calamari with the sorrel sauce. Blew our minds. Just do it! Dwyeth was pleasant as a waiter. Glad we made this classic choice.

My type of vibe this place .. food is very good I recommend the snapper run down sauce with rice and peas or course

Okay, so here's the deal: Some people love The Door and some think it's a bit overrated. Where do I stand? My scales of fairness vary from week-to-week. Sometimes I'm so super impressed by their efficiency and how organized the takeout/delivery ship is run, that I forget to judge the food and experience. Today. I will attempt to do just that... I had a taste for oxtails and was not too surprised that they were sold out late on a Sunday evening. We instead opted for the curry goat, stewed snapper, a side of Mac & Cheese, and drinks: a spicy strawberry margarita and red sangria. Here's what we got: Curry Goat: Tasty but... Cold? Stewed Snapper: No complaints here - delicious sauce. Spicy Margarita: Was not spicy, was very syrupy though Red Sangria: Perfect color, not perfect taste Side of Mac - usually good but unfortunately, it never made it to the table. Why 4 Stars? My love-hate relationship probably stems from the huge difference in price and portion from delivery, takeout, and catering vs dining in. My original bill was $101 dollars but the Macaroni charge was removed since it never came out. I was going to tell the server at the beginning of the meal but I didn't see her again until check time so it only made sense to remove. Although the meal was decent, it was not two people, $100 dollars good. Delivery is MUCH cheaper. The drinks didn't set the right tone from the start. The red sangria was waaaay too sweet and fruitless . The spicy margarita wasn't spicy at all, and was in fact pure syrup. The Bar and food issues aside- the staff was really warm and inviting. So even with the short comings, good service makes things feel a bit better and allows room for growth. The flavors were there and that's a huge win. It's definitely great for a family night out if you're prepared to spend a bit more for really comforting food. So to conclude how I feel... I'm somewhere hidden in the middle. I love it and can still see how it can be a bit overrated. Will I return? Uh... for sure!
