   Our meal was amazing, the oxtails, Mac and Cheese, Collard greens, cornbread, and fish fry with oxtail fried rice were all delicious!

   Hector was a phenomenal server and the food was divine. This was easily the best part of our unexpected layover.

   Felt rushed. Had reservations ahead of time for a birthday celebration. We got seated at a small table and didn’t really get an opportunity to sit to enjoy the meal. Food was great but the experience just felt really rushed in general dining area.

   The food was flavorful and I would absolutely visit again. We had the Overtown Fish fry and oxtail fried rice. I would eat this dish over and over again.

   Food was good, not remarkable. Service for drinks from the bar, after seated was exceptionally long. Delivery of food was slightly less of a wait. Pretty disappointed that the Gospel singer was not there today.

   The food was interesting; a southern Caribbean concept. The portions were good and we enjoyed everything. Everything had a spice to it. To my surprise, the greens were very spicy, but tolerable. The service was not very good. Our server didn’t introduce himself, so we thought he was the server assistant. One person asked for an appetizer as their meal, yet the plate was sent out 15 mins before everyone else’s. He wasn’t very talkative and did the bare minimum. He would stand there and wait for us to speak to him. This would be a good date night spot. I wouldn’t recommend it as a family spot. The restaurant is very beautiful inside and out.

    I took my fiance to Red Rooster for his birthday. My recent visit to this restaurant was frustrating from the moment we arrived. The initial interaction with the host was far from welcoming - we were abruptly informed they were fully booked, despite having a reservation and seeing multiple empty tables. When I mentioned our reservation, the host's response was dismissive, stating they were holding the dining room and not seating guests. The situation did not improve when I approached the manager about the delay. Her response was curt and unhelpful, essentially telling me to have a drink and that she would come find me when they resumed seating (which she never did). Adding insult to injury, we were seated after our reservation time, and another group that arrived after us was seated before us. The reservation management appeared completely disorganized. Once seated, we learned that several menu items were unavailable - a detail that would have been helpful to know upon arrival. Our appetizer was initially prepared incorrectly and had to be sent back, further extending our already prolonged dining experience. The sole bright spot of the evening was our waiter, Carlos, who was attentive and provided excellent service. A few dishes stood out positively - the oxtail rice, collard greens, and cornbread were quite good. However, these bright spots were not enough to salvage the overall disappointing experience. Given the poor organization, dismissive staff (outside of Carlos), and inconsistent service, I cannot recommend this restaurant and will not be returning.
