"The Deal: $10 select cocktails; $7 select wine Kokomo is a Caribbean spot where you can get pastas, flatbreads, and more topped with jerk chicken and oxtail. When the weather's nice, enjoy their "Koko Hour" specials at one of the many outdoor tables set up along a tree-lined sidewalk in Williamsburg." - bryan kim, kenny yang
"An over-the-top Caribbean restaurant in Williamsburg, known for its vibrant atmosphere and diverse Caribbean-inspired menu." - Melissa McCart
"Owned by Ria and Kevol Graham, this restaurant offers an elevated Caribbean dining experience with dishes like coconut-curry mussels and Jamaican jerk shrimp. They also plan to open new ventures like OxKale and Bait & Bow." - Nicole K. Grimes
"When Kokomo opened during the pandemic, the New York Times exalted it as the party restaurant to meet the moment. Some three years later, this spot is still serving up vibrant Caribbean cooking and keeping things just as lively. Reservations for groups of up to nine people are available to book on Resy. Parties of 10 and up can inquire on the Kokomo website for private dining pricing." - Eater Staff
"The party is at Kokomo, with DJs most of the weekend and not one but two happy hours (here called Koko Hour) midweek. You better book a reservation to ensure a seat at this often jam-packed dinner spot. The pan-Caribbean dining here comes with a touch of fusion that seems to draw on the global flavors along this stretch of the Williamsburg-Greenpoint border, in case you wondered how truffle or jackfruit pair with ackee. Lentil meatballs in coconut curry and pappardelle with island cream sauce keep the flavors global, just with a Caribbean spin. Fitting at a place that wants to party all the time, the signature BACARDĺ Ocho cocktail here is the Cardi All the Time: sweet orange vermouth and passion fruit liqueur blend with lemon juice for a tangy and sweet taste of tropical climes. If that’s not to your tastes, there’s also the Duckie Wine, which combines rum with hibiscus cordial, cinnamon, lemon juice, and egg white." - Brendan McGinley
