    The atmosphere was really nice there wasn’t a lot of tables in there so it does get full fast. But the food selection looked so good, sadly i can only choose i meal at a time. When i received the food, the food was great i would just say the vegetables, in my case the Brussel sprouts needed to be cooked a little longer. The service was good, they were very accommodating.

    Such a cute spot. I decided to check it out as I was too early for an event nearby (across from the Barclays center). My drink was so good. I think I got the drink called dream catcher. Well made. I only had enough time for an appetizer. I decided to get the crab cakes. You get two. When I got to the middle of one, it was freezing cold .. too late, I ate it. The second one, same thing! I was disappointed and it made me sick (humans shouldn't wake up at 1am running to the bathroom). So I would for the drinks but not for the food (or maybe I should’ve picked something else). I'm glad I only had time for the app.

    Wish I could give 4.5 Stars but here we are. Ok, YES for the Vibe, Food, Drinks, Service and location!!! No for the parking but it is across from the Barclay! The Guava Jerk Wings, although baked, are still delish! The MAC & CHEESE is an ENTIRE YES!!!! (It's NOT Caribbean Bake iykyk!) It is Down South Muhdeah APPROVED! The Jerk Lamb Sliders are a MUST BUT...they're TINY, like Silver Dollar sized. Makes you mad because they're so good. To wash it all down, the Wray Maker will set you all of the way straight! So, it's a place to go to regardless of a Barclay's event or a weekday winddown, any day at Charm Bar is the right day!

    Charm Bar & Restaurant is what I consider to be cozy and small, but not cramped. The decor is inviting, the vibe is right, and the music brings a lot of nostalgia. A lot of classic reggae tunes that is sure to keep your head bopping. I made reservations for 7:30 pm (to celebrate my sister's birthday) for a party of 4. We were seated immediately with zero wait time (a huge plus). Dinner Service Review: Our waitress for the evening was pleasant and kind and gave each of us an iPad to view the menu. I was excited to try the "oxtail crab rangoon" but was disappointed it was not available. Quite a few menu items of interest were not available. So, it left a limited amount of menu options to choose from. I ordered the crab rangoon which was tasty and flavorful, but was not "piping hot" it was surprisingly just warm as if it was left out for a while. I ordered a side of sweet plantains as an appetizer which was delicious and was served hot (happy camper). I tasted my mom's Maryland style crab cake, it was soft, flaky with lumps of crab meat with great flavor. I also tried my sister order of buffalo style cauliflower chicken, it was warm not served hot. However, it was tasty and delicious. The entrée of choice was rasta pasta with shrimp (any protein of choice added is extra) it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I enjoyed the spicy notes of the jerk, the pasta was cooked al dente (huge plus) it was definitely memorable. I did sample a piece of my mom's oxtail and was greatly disappointed. It was tender, but lacked spice and was just "too sweet." The balance of flavor was off. I took away one star mainly due to service and the appetizers being warm. Our waitress for the evening was wonderful, but because it was super busy I did not recieve the full service attention refills of water, check-ins if everything is OK etc. Will I return? I just might as the brunch menu items peaked my interest. I see oxtail and grits on my radar amongst other brunch items.
