Island Cz Lounge

Great Caribbean spot—Island Cz Lounge brings the island energy! Food was tasty: jerk chicken smoky and spicy (juicy perfection), oxtail tender in rich gravy, rice & peas well-seasoned, and fried plantains sweet and crispy. Portions solid for the price. Service was friendly and quick (bartenders mix strong drinks). Atmosphere is lively and fun—dim lights, good reggae/dancehall vibes, dance floor energy—feels like a mini Caribbean escape, though it can get loud/crowded on weekends. Solid for food, drinks, and vibes—definitely going back!

I’ve been coming here about 2 years now, but last night was really the last time I come here. When I got there the security guard(he refused to give me his name) and his partner(she also refused to give me her name) wouldn’t let us in because one of our friends didn’t have ID just only a picture. Fine no problem we left and went to get it, when we came back they decided now they wanted to charge us to get in. Listen I’ve been coming here for some time and if there’s an event I’ll pay to get in but if you’re going to charge me , make sure you’re charging everyone don’t just pick and choose. Because he let people in front of us in without paying and when we asked him he said he felt like it. When he realizes we caught on to his little scheme he FaceTimed some random person laughing in our faces talking about we playing. That’s so unprofessional so we asked to speak to management several times and were DENIED, when he asked for their names we were denied that also. Ghetto! I’m going to post the video I recorded all over my TikTok and I’ll be posting it on @rawreviews as soon as I get all the footage because that’s unacceptable. We were cursed out because we asked to speak to the manager. The other security guard took off her jacket wanting to fight us because we took a picture of the front of the establishment and threatened to leave a review. This all took place on Sunday around 10pm. Believe all the bad reviews and take your money elsewhere definitely not it. It was dry in there anyways 0/10

My Bestie ❤️ and I decided to go get some Caribbean Jamaican food

It was very loud, but people were having a great time dancing. Nice vibe. However, everyone was smoking. The service was horrible, no one came to take your order and when they did they forgot about you. Overall, it was ok.

We visited the restaurant at 11pm on a Monday night. There were guys sitting smoking and drinking in the area before you enter the restaurant. No one greeted us, we sat ourself by the entrance. The staff was not pleasant and worked in a very nonchalant way, almost like they were patrons and not staff. Our food came out quickly, and was very good, but as we were enjoying our meal, this guy hops on the host station, and lights a big spliff, no regard for us what so ever. The same guy must have worked there, because I saw him go behind the bar several times, it wasn't even 12am. Overall, the food and music was a 10, but service, staff mannerism and respect is very poor.

We were a group of about 8 that came early on a Friday night. I guess they are not used to patrons so early because a wet left or seems that's when people stayed coming in. Anyway it was just one server so I can't be too harsh. He was talking orders, working the bar and trying to do the music until the DJ came lol. The tables were sticky and we asked to wipe them down. Easy fix. Since he was solo things took time. Because of the slow service they did give us a carafe of rum punch which was nice and strong. The food was okay. We ordered the plate to share and a few entrees. My friend got the snapper which was a good size and looked really good but not as flavorful as you would think. Overall the vibe is there maybe we would have to come later when the rest of the staff comes.

Found this place on a whim after completing some shopping nearby. This restaurant practices social distancing and contact tracing so I appreciate their follow through. I ordered their reggae pasta( you select which protein to add), which is penne pasta shells with lobster meat ( it was real lobster) and shrimp. My friend ordered baked salmon, veggies and fresh mashed potatoes. Overall the experience was cool. The food was enjoyable and filling. Even though there were areas for minor improvements I will return to support.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Island Cz. Shelly was our waitress. I was thoroughly impressed by the impeccable service provided by her. From the moment we were seated. She greeted us with a warm smile and was ready and open to take our order. I like her.

Came here for a graduation party and the space is HUGE!! We ordered catering which the prices are incredibly competitive. The food was delicious. Give them grace. They are trying their best. KIA our waitress was so attentive the entire time and made sure we were ok as she constantly kept checking in on us.

This place legit has the worse service. Seven of us came here and were seated immediately and that was the last time anyone came to speak to us. We sat there for over 20 minutes no one came to get our drinks order or even to say they'll be right with us. You know a place has trash service when tables that come in to sit after you get served before you. When we got up to walk out no one even acknowledged that we were leaving. It was absolutely terrible service definitely wouldn't recommend!

This review is about the service. Walked in this place around midnight on Saturday and there were FIVE employees standing behind the bar. Not ONE of them came over to greet me or take my order. They stood huddled together cackling likes hens with one another. My friend and I left immediately. Sad when you have workers who make your establishment look bad. Would not recommend!

Every single time someone new takes over this location, I give them a try. We ordered the pitcher of henny sour and it was ridiculously sour. I informed our waiter who gladly added more henny. The island sampler was surprisingly good. I do think the fish was a tad bit too battered. The vibe was what I need on this Sunday night. There was a baby shower going on in the back. I'm not mad but its a weird set up. I was there for the brunch which was going on in the front section and the bathrooms are located in the back. I wouldnt mind trying there entrees soon.

- I like the Friday night party - drinks are way strong - outdoor dining, you can't really hear the music - the jerk wings don't taste very jerk-y, but they are tasty nonetheless - hookah is available for a very expensive $45

This place has LED lights running throughout the restaurant and plays a good mixture of R&B and Afro beats. For drinks, we had margaritas. For food, we had rice, steam vegetables shrimp and curried goat, which was properly portioned and tasted good. My favorite part of the restaurant is in the back where there is a swing you can take photos on. My least favorite thing is they played Zeus shows on the TV, which wasn't really my vibe personally. I would give this restaurant an 8 out of 10.

Went here last night had a great time food ambiance everything was on point it's a great place to be in Brooklyn.

food was great ...love the appetizers.... clean and very spacious you won't feel like the next person can hear your conversation.....nice vibe for the most part....you can eat during the day and have a night out after hours ,,,,and the drinks are strong....ask for "liquid marijuana" ...it's creeps up on you by drink 2.. ...

Had my Dad"s 88th BD dinner party atIsland Cz. It was a picture- perfect event. Food as amazing (I visit this spot one Friday a month so know this) i choose music, staff were amazing. Great memories were created

So I ordered Lobster Mac n Cheese and Honey Chipotle wings via doordash. The food came at a decent time. It was very tasty. I like that they separated each item in its own bag.

The DJ played R. Kelly in the year 2023. Who does that? Would not recommend. My friend also ordered a vegan dish, and they put fish in her food even though she asked for tofu.

Service can certainly be improved, I was pleasantly surprised with my meal... the right amount of spice which I love and flavor, I would definitely recommend and go back again.

Attended a memorial service reception in the private dining section and I must say the food was great. The host selected several dishes for cater and the escoveitch whiting, reggae pasta, and macaroni stood out the most to me. However, the roti skin was a disappointment it was very gummy like fondant and needed to fry a little longer. Guests were served by a nice woman who appeared to be a manager/co-owner. My only issue was the two young female servers (1 unmasked) who were assisting guests with drinks and hookah meanwhile smoking and blowing their own hookah near the food. Overall, I would eat here again.

People swear by this place for some reason that's unknown to me. I've been twice. The first they took about 40-45 mins to bring out chicken wings & French fried & the wings were so tiny & horrible looking. The drinks were okay. The hookah was good. Now the second time I've been which was more recent was horrible. Me & the person I was with ordered two simple drinks & waited about 10-15 mins until we realized it shouldn't be taking this long for margarita let alone any drink especially when there was only two tables out of the entire lounge being occupied. We left. But the worst part was the person handling the hookah. Both times I've been the hookah girl (not sure if it was the same person) seems like she doesn't wanna be there & has horrible energy. Her customer service skills are lacking. When a patron enters your space you say hello & if not atleast say something back when they greet you. Management was also useless in that scenario. This place needs major improvement with customer service. I will never recommend anybody to this place. The only person I've had positive experiences with both times is the security.

I Visited your establishment once before and I had a great experience... the staff you had then was cool, which is only one was a bartender that was serving as a server, the host, all in one but he handled his job splendidly and the food made up for the short staff but that was then.... today I had a horrible experience. I understand all the complexities of the situations that we're having via covid right now with restaurants and maybe the lack of qualified employees available but the young boy you have right now in your establishment as a host/server will be the end of your restaurant. Not only is that kid rude he's disrespectful and has ZERO sense of customer service. Doubt I'll ever come back or refer your restaurant again just because of him. You worked very hard to get your business were it is today. Don't lose customers over trying to help out a child who obviously hate his job.

Great food, pleasant staff and spacious atmosphere. What more can you ask for. I've been coming here before COVID and they never disappoint. When the COVID restrictions are over its the first place I want to be to celebrate with my friends.

This restaurant is always a great place to eat. The food is good and always fresh. I love most dishes especially, the Oxtail with Rasta Pasta

excellent place to get a drink and a bite to eat. The seafood is top notch

Food was great and the service was good. However, the wait to get my food was very slow. It took over an hour from when I ordered until my meal can to the table. I am hopeful that they were having a bad day. I would give them a second chances because the was really good.

Great food and great environment. The outdoor seating makes for a kool chill spot. Check it out and thank me later. Seafood boil, Fish cook up and curry lobster Etc. Those are just few recommendations.

The worst service and food ever. I came here to eat before the club and boy was I disappointed. We had to beg for service, at which point we should have left. finally getting the servers attention and ordered some sweet chilli wings and lomein. The lomein came first and was the saltiest everrrrrrrr. I explained to the server however I ate some because of the my hunger headache however, it spike my blood pressure so pure failure. Finally the wings arrived salty, dry and hard. I'm like this is rediculous. While trying to pay the bill I explained that the food was salty and the wings was not eatable either. I was told by the server who is now the cashier that no one was present to take the salt wings off my bill. Stood there while the staff congregated and about 5 five to ten minutes a dude appeared to ask wat happened to the food. My date was charged 20.00 for a shot dusse which she requested on the rocks, which was served neat instead. Like come on you have no idea what the rasshole allyuh doing.

Great music and hookah But the cocktails suck ... better off buying a bottle or getting a shot with some chaser .. been there a few times and one of their bartenders always has this horrible look on her face it just turns me off

Had a terrible experience tonight. Waited two and a half hours for my order pickup food with no sense of urgency or awareness from the manager. Didn't even make the time to update me on the status or offer anything while waiting. Please don't forget those who frequently supported you during the quarantine when business was slow and then treat people like this when you're finally open and back in business. I'm all for supporting local businesses but this was unacceptable. Please do better!
