IQ Bar and Grill

Great food & customer service. Stacy was the absolute best server & bartender! Went in for happy hour to celebrate my moms birthday. Stacy & her team went above and beyond by providing her a cake, complimentary champagne and signing her happy birthday. The food was incredible, fresh and timely. Drinks were strong and refreshing. I would recommend. Ask for Stacy!

Service was EXCELLENT!! We came in behind a big party, so our wait time took longer than expected, but the food did not disappoint! Well, seasoned, good portions. But above all, the service from the managers, front of house, and our severl Shavaughn was top quality. My group and I were very impressed and satisfied. We will absolutely be back again! *Parking is somewhat of a challenge with the popularity of the establishment and limited spaces, but is doable.

1.5/5 stars. The intent was to give 3/5 stars but I am still uncomfortable even giving 2/5. Let's dig in. We went to Island Quizine to dine in. We did not realize that they separated that order section and no longer had the cozy eat in section. So they sent us over, to literally the next door over. When we stepped in and realized that this was a Bar vibe (all BLACK)...it did Not give a Grill vibe. It seems the staff were mostly in the next section with the barn doors having a STAFF MEETING with the door open, which is a NO NO because that takes away from the ambiance. Furthermore, the staff was going back and forth with their kids and carrying on conversations. (No issues with kids, but understand what customers expect from this setting). The hostess came out, pleasant, and greeted us to seat us. The tables are tiny and the patron beside us started to COMPLAIN that her meal was not going to fit . They ordered finger foods, we ordered a meal so you know we struggled on those TINY TABLES as well. Also that should have indicated that the EXPENSIVE servings were gonna be tiny as well. The only big thing we got was the BIG FISH, . But that too was a RUBBERY disappointment. We will get to that in a bit. While the staff was in a meeting I decided to cut to the chase and asked the hostess please can we get bowls of soup while we wait on the waitress who they said would come in 3 MINUTES. Being very hungry and a DIABETIC not only did the order NOT go in, but we had to wait about 15-20 minutes including for the waitress to come and take the order again for the soup. Then the big bowls came only to contain about HALF cup of soup . Ok, let's see what happens to main course. The soup was the ONLY tasty thing that night.MAGGI..wont disappoint with it's saltiness . When our meals came, the fish was STIFF, DEAD and DRY on the plate, when we specifically requested that we did not want a DRY FISH and the waitress had convinced us to take an escovitch over STEAM OR STEW fish. Next we got a tiny cup of rice . Dry, no gravy or sauce in sight. I requested a stew fish gravy or something to at least moisten di food. Ahh that's a NO! ****OK, let's try this pasta . pasta was bland. Whatever was used killed every flavour so though edible, it was anticlimactic for a Chicken & Shrimp Reggae Pasta. ****The cup of rice and peas was insulting. Especially for the cost. We didn't even finish it. *****The fish was rubbery and proved awkward to eat or manage. $60 ****The drinks FULL OF ICE, allowed 3 sips. for$8. Then Done. So ask for lite ice or no ice. **** The tables are tiny. **** Utensils unwrapped and exposed to germs in the air. ****$150 price tag was not worth it!! I felt cheated. ****My guests did not even eat half the meal, which if you know AFRICANS this speaks volumes if they are not eating and asking for seconds. My guest, who was not JAMAICAN feedback: -the little Island Quizine at Windsor Mill which had only 3 tables in an informal setting had better food than this. - CHEF BOBBY D's restaurant had far tastier RASTA PASTA than this. -CHIK FIL A Cobb salad and chicken strips meal tastes better than this and was only $25. Overall, what should have been a celebration turned out to be a DISAPPOINTMENT . The GREATEST DISAPPOINTMENT for me was I had ordered the dessert, rum cake with vanilla ice cream . They used a TINY CONDIMENT PLASTIC CONTAINER to put the ice cream. . Sometimes we aim for more and lose what makes us good and unique in the first place . Again, Island Quizine please do better by BRAND JAMAICA. My RECOMMENDATION is to travel to Allentown Pennsylvania and visit one Jamaican restaurant in that area. A man runs it that will have you licking your fingers just for the rice and gravy alone. And you don't taste meat yet!!! People all over the country has him cater and ship the food to them. Happy Dining!
