   I believe this place will actually graduate to astonishing outstanding levels and for a place that’s only been open for a relatively short amount of time this place is really fantastic. I think they just need to get a few things fine tuned.

   We ordered apps only but it was quite filling and tasty: plantain, octopus, ackee & saltfish egg rolls, corn, ribs, goat puffs. Service was amazing and the best part of the night, Julani was there like State farm ...in a great way. He checked up on us! 😀

   Mango Bay is New York dining done right! Outstanding service, authentic & inspired Afro-Caribbean cuisine; warm, inviting decor; and top notch musical choices. The ambiance is optimal for a romantic evening (sparks were flying this Valentine's weekend), or dinner with good friends. We felt at home the moment we walked in from the snow, and the lead server Jelani took amazing care of us all night. MB has a small menu that is pared to perfection: completely wowed by the Goat Puff Pastry, King Salmon, and Ras & Pasta; we paired those with a tea-infused rum cocktail, hibiscus mezcal margarita, and Falanghina, and couldn't have been more pleased. Might be my new favorite restaurant.

   WOW. what a treat. Chef London Chase delivered on this menu. Everything from the signature cocktails to the food to the mango custard was incredible. I highly recommend the Crudo and Hen as appetizers. The oxtail rivals that of Little Caribbean neighborhood restaurants in terms of flavor and portion. Absolutely amazing staff that were friendly and knowledgeable. Will be returning!

   Love the space. Been there through several different restaurants in that location over the years and Mango Bay's touches look great. Find was flavorful. The only negative was that they ran out of sweet plantains, and bread pudding the night we were there.

   Upon arrival for a 9pm time slot me and my date were informed the restaurant was running behind schedule. We were seated at 930pm. The drinks were very good but the waitress for our table returned several times to inform us of options being unavailable off their prefixed menu. This made enjoying our dinner difficult as the menu was scarce as it is and only one or two options per selection as is. The couple next to us informed us they had a 7pm reservation at 1030pm as they witnessed the struggles we had with the service. At 11pm my date and I decided to leave and pay for what we received thus far which was only a starter and appetizer which I received the wrong order for. Overall seemed like a nice place but I wouldn’t advise attending for Valentine’s Day or special occasion dinner from my experience.

    Having never been and seeing this spot turn over many times through the years, we weren’t too sure. Well, wow. Exceeded our expectations for sure. We live nearby and very frequently (at least twice a week) dine at many of the spots nearby, this will 100% be added to our regular rotation! The service was outstanding (Adrian, I think?) and their suggestions were spot on. Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu! Keep doing everything you’re doing, you just gained a regular customer. ❤️
