Dunns River Lounge Inc

Came here on a friday night a month ago for my birthday, reserved a table for 8, at first I refused the party packages where they have pre-fixed menus. The owner I believe her name is Naala, called to confirm and suggested we try the pre-fixed menu as it would better acommodate the party. Once we got there and looked at the menus, we finally agreed with her..So glad we did.

We got the Gold Special, with the salad, wings, & codfish fritters as starters..good amount for 8 people. And received a platter of jerk chicken, oxtail, & curried shrimp with a platter of both rice & peas & white rice with plantains. THE OXTAIL WAS OFF THE HOOK!! def thought the jerk chicken would be the main attraction but it and the shrimp were just OK, not spicy at all, and the jerk could've been more moist. At the end we were full and more than satisfied. We ordered drinks at the bar, pretty strong.

Atmosphere itself was a cozy lounge, nice small bar, dj at the time played some cool tunes. Only lost one star from me due to only one server for a packed house, so service was a little slow.

Def recommend the package if you go as a party, check this spot out just to chill with a smaller group still worth it.

Named after a popular waterfall in Jamaica, Dunns River Lounge is a cool trendy looking place a stones throw away from the Rockville Centre LIRR station.

The front of the lounge is quite nice with a couple of plush swanky furniture on one side and dining tables on the other. There's a small bar near the back of the place and tables are placed aside by the bright colorful walls in order to ensure a space for dancing.

My party and I came here early on Friday night, when I was unfortunately dressed a little to casually in my hoodie compared to the other sharply dressed customers. Please don't make commit faux pas like me and come in the proper sexy but classy attire.

My bf and I shared this spicy shrimp dish that was offered as a special. The shrimp was big and spicy, but I think it was a little too overcooked and I wasn't crazy about the flavors of the marinade. Please monitor your shellfish-ignorant loved ones because my bf ate an entire shrimp or two with the shell on. This is not the ideal way to eat shrimp.

We also shared the Spicy Curried Goat ($18) with a side of rice and pigeon peas. I would recommend this dish for anyone who likes lamb, because the goat meat had a very similar taste to lamb and it was quite delicious. I wasn't sure about the cut of goat we had but it was very bony, as in oxtail bony, and there wasn't a lot of meat available. The curry was yummy and the excellent rice and peas was very fragrant. I wouldn't recommend sharing this dish because as I mentioned the meat was scarce and the bones were plenty.

If you want to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or any other special occasion but don't want to coordinate an event all the way in the city, Dunns River Lounge offers to host dinner parties for groups of 7 or more. You have a choice of three different party specials that each includes a prix fixe dinner and a complimentary champagne bottle for every 10 guests. The Bronze Special is $24pp, the Gold Special is $30pp, and the Platinum Special is $36pp plus tax and gratuity.

The lounge is chill, the waitstaff friendly, and it's one of the few places around the ares that serves Caribbean food. I don't personally feel a draw to come back, but if I have another <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestaurant.com&s=c5fe485af4df376130bee54f875814d79c4d7913e1258123b1206d2bdbf4873b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restaurant.com</a> certificate for this place and friends want to go somewhere that calls for a cool party feel to it I would come here a second time.

Good West Indian food can't go wrong nice live band
