Came on a Wednesday and very very disappointed in the service. The only things i got that tasted good were the french fries and the plantains.
I got the pasta with jerk chicken and was very disappointed. Extremely. The pasta was not cooked well, and the chicken did not taste like jerk chicken at all.
Nick, my server will go down in the bottom 3 so far. I was here for an hour and the only times her stopped by were to get the food order, deliver the food, and to bring the check upon request.
You have to pay for water because they don’t give a glass. To make matters worse, automatic 18% gratuity. This man did absolutely nothing, the kitchen did not deliver but felt they deserve that for showing up.
I will not come back her for dinner. Drinks maybe.
Atmosphere is extremely loud for a Wednesday. Can’t hear yourself think, have to shout to get attention of the server, and it’s just vibrating noise.

My daughter suggested we celebrate my son’s new job here and l must say it was a good choice, plus l knew the Dj ( Mike from Hitmatic Sound) was playing so he definitely made the night special and yes, the food and drinks were incredible.l hope to be back soon.

I base my stars on five different factors:
Staff: Jazz was our waiter/bartender. Very nice, welcoming, and had a lot of people so not as present but was just few steps away. Service was a liiiiittle slow but the slow where you can see it’s because he was busy.
Cleanliness: Very clean as soon as you walk in. Very cozy, bar type restaurant.
Bathroom: Clean and very pretty green.
Food&Drink: Food was amazing! A lot of pineapple which I don’t mind at all. Drinks tasted amazing but not too much alcohol. Decent I would say.
Overall experience: Went for my friends birthday and she had a blast. Live DJ Mostly Jamaican music

This spot has a great deal of potential. The space is small and intimate, but the layout could have been better laid out to optimize the seating. The atmosphere gives off a safe and happy vibe and the staff was lovely but could do with some training. Our server forgot our food twice and mixed up the drink order. The food was a high point for me; simply put it was amazing. Well cooked, properly spices and professionally presented. I will definitely be returning to try some more dishes.

Looking for amazing Caribbean food look no further this restaurant has flavorful food, great atmosphere and a live DJ that plays all the vibes. We ordered mojitos and the bartender did not skimp on the alcohol and the drink was made well. We ordered the ackee and salt fish rolls, and bread fruit with the shrimp dip for appetizers and they were flavorful and good portion size. For our main entrees we order Rasta pasta with oxtails and the fried lobster it was tasty, and came out quickly. Overall this place is a must try for date night, girls night or just for a quick bite. It’s street parking no parking lot so keep that in mind. Will definitely be coming back.

My college friends and I reserved a table at Sugar Cane Rum Village for dinner on a Saturday night at 6pm!
We were 30 minutes late (coming from Jersey City) but the restaurant still was able to accommodate us. Street parking only so make sure you leave some time for that. They also take walk ins on a first come, first served basis.
We were seated towards the back where it was booth seating + a couple of stools. I loved the ambiance of this spot as it definitely gave off Caribbean vibes. At 6pm, it’s not packed just yet since they open at that time.
Of course we had to start off with the drinks! We all basically ordered the sugar cane margarita which you have the option of 3 flavors; strawberry, mango or prickly pear. Since they did not have prickly pear, I ordered the strawberry with Patron and WOW it was delicious AND they did not skimp on the alcohol.
For starters, my friend and I ordered the ackee & codfish spring roll which was a 10/10! My other friends ordered the shrimp spring roll and sugar cane wings which they loved. After our starters, we all ordered another round of drinks. We asked for strawberry but was given mango. The mango wasn’t my fave but I stuck with it. Definitely prefer strawberry.
For our mains, my bf ordered the fried lobster tail which we didn’t hear from him the entire time we were eating LOL he was devouring his dish. I ordered the penne alla vodka with shrimp and my friends ordered the oxtails. The portion of my dish was well worth the money but I wish the sauce had a bit more flavor. My friends liked their oxtails but wish more came in the pot. On the side, we all ordered the Jamaican bammy fries which we thought were steak cut fries with seasoning but they tasted like churros to me. We were all unfamiliar with bammy fries so my friend actually sent them back for regular fries which were crisp!
Of course we ordered another round of drinks. We felt like the drinks became weaker and weaker as we kept ordering them and they line the rim of the cup with liquid sugar cane which drips down all over the cup and gets on your hands. We were constantly asking for napkins to wipe off the excess sugar. After the 3rd margarita, we stopped ordering drinks and decided to order hookah. Hookah was $40 cash (not included on the bill, need to pay separate person) and refills are $20. They have a bunch of flavors on the menu so we went with a blueberry mint.
By this time it was around 9:30pm and we already spent 3 hours here, we were having so much fun! The restaurant started getting more packed and the music was a 10/10! We appreciate the waitress letting us stay longer than the 90 minute limit.
Since we already finished up our food and drinks, our waitress let us know that the tables are only for people who are ordering food and drinks. Also, if another big party arrived we would have to leave the table. Since we still had the hookah, we asked where could we be placed. They set us up a smaller stand up table next to the waiting area which was tight for 5 people to fit but we made it work until it was time to leave. We wish we were able to relax here all night since we drove over an hour and it was pouring rain but understand the need of tables.
The bill came out to a little over $500 which included 18% gratuity and an additional $20 for using card.
All in all, I would visit again! Perhaps on a less busier day since the other reviews state Fridays and Sundays are less rowdy. I don’t mind a rowdy crowd when I’m sitting but since we were standing towards the end of the night, there was a lot going on between people trying to get around us, people trying to sit in the waiting area and being bumped by people from surrounding tables.
Note: They stop serving food at 10pm.

3 stars because I went on a Friday for happy hour. Promotion on ig caused my visit. If an establishment is petite, I believe reservations are a must and promotion should be limited. It’s a cute small spot but it doesn’t allow for service to be good and people will be in the way. The hostess was a waitress and the security guard was security, bartender and server. It was too much going on. Also, my sister and I ordered shrimp tacos. Based on the image of the menu, we assumed it was soft tacos but they gave us hard shell Ramen noodle sized baby shrimps. Highly disappointed. For $14 it could’ve been better. Lastly, the drink we wanted they didn’t have which was the froze. On a warm day, expect to receive lots of clients and requests for froze. I understand staffing issues because I deal with that myself, but things could’ve been handled differently.

Positives
1. Vibes were great, good DJ.
2. Staff was nice and pleasant. Great service.
3. Ackee and saltfish spring rolls were delicious!!! Excellent best item I had that night.
4. Lobster Ravioli and fried lobster tails were good. Nice flavors.
5. Pricing overall was decent
Cons
1. The lobster Mac and cheese was not good. A new recipe is needed.
2. The crab cakes use claws meat. The recipe should use lump meat and less filling. Flavor is okay.
Things to note

2. You pay a fee if you pay with credit card.
3. Gratuity is added to your tab. When you pay with a card the the receipt you sign suggests gratuity again. The suggested tip amount is based on your bill, the gratuity you already paid and taxes. Be mindful if you’re not interested in tipping twice.

I don’t know what’s going on with the food lately at Sugar Cane, but they changed the menu and removed my favorite items. The new items are smaller portions for the same price or more expensive. They removed the shrimp and lobster meal and now only serve a lobster meal for almost the same price. They removed breadfruit fries/chips from the menu, and the lobster tacos were removed from the menu. They removed the brown stew snapper. They aren’t serving grilled jerk anything, everything is done in the oven. Atp it’s just underwhelming. In my last 3 visits, I’ve been trying to find something else that I love, and I haven’t found anything.
I had oxtail on July 27th, and it was really tender but salty, and it wasn’t slow cooked it was done in a pressure cooker pot. So the gravy wasn’t nice, thick, and rich in flavor.
I had the plantain shrimp boat, which was good, but the tails were left on the shrimp, making eating it unnecessarily inconvenient because you have to dissect the meal to remove the tails, then reassemble it.
I will say that I absolutely love this place, but they need to get it together like yesterday. Otherwise, I’m gonna have to eat elsewhere before I go to Sugar Cane.

Where do I start? First, its a cute small spot with a live ambiance and great music. The dj was playing all the good hits. But, service needs extreme work. Its crowded on the weekends so make sure to reserve seats. Waited hours for a table and even more for my meal. There should be no reason why I have to wait almost 3hrs for my meal. Service needs improvement. But, the food was ok.
