Island Cz Lounge 1440 Utica Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

"Spacious and well lit inviting atmosphere....seating indoor and outdoor( warm weather)....drinks are strong.... good spot even if you just want to come to the bar or dine in. Music is good . food is pretty good at least the main entrees that i tried... After hours on some days they host party events which is convenient especially if your out on a date or with friends...."

"We went on a slow Monday but the food came out quick. The waitress was attentive and the food was dope. A nice little kick in the food but not too much. Even my white girlfriend could handle it. Wel..... most of it. Lol We love the food!! Drinks were tasty. Pro tip- don't get the Island shot to save dough. Save dough by getting a 10 dollar drink. You won't regret the value. Value overall was great. We got the sampler, so we can get a taste of what they have to offer. Very satisfied. Might be our new tradition to pop in every time we are in my old hood. Hopefully our next server is as nice. The Cons: only 2 1- No desert menu. After a nice romantic moment, something sweet would be nice to cool the spice. Then start working some cakes 2- Table was rocking all over the place. Needed to be weighted, tightened. ( hire me next time lol)"

"I won a free dinner from a comedy show raffle. And when we went the following week, to be honest, we were quite impressed!! Granted, it was very empty for a Monday night, but we were there for the food! We were able to get 1 app, 1 drink each, and 2 platters. I got the oxtail dinner. IT WAS SO FREAKN GOOD!! Seasoned to perfection! With good portions, too! Hubby had the jerk shrimp, which he enjoyed as well. We will definitely go back! Thank you, Patrick!!"

"The food is pretty good and the drinks are cool but I'm confused about the service. For example, there was a man behind the bar, and I asked him for water. He pointed at the busy bartender and continued having his conversation. A server just brushed past me as well knocking some of the water out my hand like come on. The service is a little slow, but it seems like it is due to a lack of staff for event nights. The atmosphere outside is nice but towards the back area isn't so nice. The bathroom doesn't have a mirror, and the bottom of the door looks like it's eaten away."

"I ordered BBQ wings and fries and it was disgusting. It looked like the wings weren't cooked and they just drowned it with BBQ sauce. I did not enjoy the food. However, the rum punch was good and the employees was nice. Other than that, it was not a vibe"
