They only have one waiter and we waited over a half hour for anyone to even come to our table to greet us while we watched her cater to all the “big parties”. This is the second time the service has not been good! The food is good minus the crab cakes!

This is a nice restaurant. The food is really good and the drinks were great! If you sit on the 2nd floor please ensure that you're comfortable with an elevated noise level because the DJ is there and it's not a very large space.

Second time here. This time was different. There was an extremely long wait for the food, like over 30 mins. Flavor of food was the same...good. But this time it was lukewarm. I like my food very hot. Took 3 requests to get my drink and water. Note: I went on Mother's Day and they had a special brunch offering and opened earlier than usual. This may be the reason for the ridiculous wait for food.

Ambience was excellent!! Service was not good. Server was not attentive at all. We were seated at 8:15 and didn’t receive our food until about 9:10. I had to get the server’s attention in order for her to check the status of our food. She comes back and says no white rice was available (they close at 10PM on Saturdays so I assume they were not making anymore food). I finished my drink before my food arrived. Server walked past our table multiple times without checking on us. It wasn’t until it was closing time that our server became more attentive, but that was to rush us through our food and give us containers and the check. First time there

Irie was great! Went with my family for dinner around 5 PM. Place wasn’t too crowded, we had beautiful natural light, fun but not too loud music. Food was delicious and our server was super chill and able to answer my family’s questions about the menu. Would be down to go back when they have live music for a fun happy hour!

Very nice first experience. Love the authentic flavors and spices used to prepare the meals. There was not one watered down or americanized thing in sight. Food flavorful. Drinks, strong and tasty. Looking forward to returning and I would love to experience a brunch or happy hour. Continued success to the owners of Irie entree. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

This was my first time dining at this establishment. The food was amazing and the service was nice. I decided to dine on the lower level for a more intimate setting with bae, since it was our anniversary dinner.

The entire experience was great. The food was excellent. Our server was excellent as well, he had a number of tables that night but he still made sure we received everything in a timely manner. This was only my 2nd time there and it was even better than the first time.
