    Amazing mussels in a variety of sauces. Thai & Lobster flavors were delicious. Escargot & French Onion soup to start along with a flavorful salad to start also hit the spot. If you aren’t into mussels & like curry, try the Shrimp curry. No room for dessert but the menu selection looked really good.

    Dunns River is always an amazing place to eat, celebrate or just hang out at. Food is great and the place is very nice. On some nights there is a DJ and Live Music from a great band. Recently I ordered catering to go for the holidays and it didn't disappoint. This is definitely a must visit, although NYC is blessed to have many great Caribbean, Jamaican restaurants, this one is special and separates itself from the pack.
