Ripe Kitchen and Bar

Great place for a date. It has a feeling of being in the city or the village. Great atmosphere and good food.

Great food great service they have the world's best crab cakes, plaintain with saltfish mad , nice ambiance the only drawback is it's cash only.Totally Jamaican love it will tell my friends.

I've been here several times prior to having my Birthday dinner here April 2015 the ambiance and service was spectacular not to mention the food was delectable . I would recommend this Restruant as a date night with friends or as a couple. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I learned about this restaurant from a friend/co-worker who speaks very highly about this restaurant. After hearing about it so much from her I decide to stop by one Thursday after work.
We arrived at 5:00p when they opened because my friend warned that it could get crowded very quickly and that they took cash only. The restaurant resembles local food spots that you might see in Jamaica - very simply made of wood and not fancy at all. Once you enter you walk into the bar area and can either dine there, order take out or wait to be seated.
The drink and food menus were very simple. Also, because it was weekday we were able to order mojitos at half the price. The mojitos were offered in various flavors (I chose Mango) and it was VERY strong but got sweetened the closer I got to the bottom of the glass. For appetizers, my friend ordered the codfish spring rolls and I ordered the jerk chicken quesadilla. I wasn't impressed with either appetizer but the quesadilla was best out of the two in my opinion. For our entrees, my friend ordered the rasta pasta with shrimp which I have had at footprints in Brooklyn but this version blew footprints version out of the water. It was absolutely delicious and the shrimp complimented it perfectly. I am not a steak lover but after seeing all the yelps about the jerk steak I had to give it a try. I personally haven't had a steak like that in a longtime. It was very meaty and extremely tender but not overly seasoned. It comes with a salad and rice and peas or white rice. I didn't care much for the rice and peas at all. I am definitely returning for that steak and the rasta pasta although I would love to try the oxtails also. Before leaving my friend and I had already made plans to return with our other co-workers.

Crowded but worth it. Food are in large portions and delicious. Fine Carribean music, drinks, dining experience. Outside patio as well. Beautiful ppl and awesome Rum Punch drinks. A must go to at least once in life. Luckily, I stay near by lol
