Topaze Restaurant

Topaze is the place to go on a Friday night for great food, delicious cocktails and good live entertainment. The service has been greatly improved. Our server Ali was excellent! She was professional, friendly and attentive. She anticipated our every need and was on it. Now for the delicious food and drinks.My go to at Topaze is the oxtails with baked macaroni and cheese and carrot salad. It's consistently great. I ordered the Sorrel Margarita it was delicious. My husband had the oxtails with rice and peas and fried plantains, his cocktail was the mango martini he thoroughly enjoyed. Our guest ordered the jerk chicken with streamed vegetables and fried plantains also with the mango martini. The live entertainment was a pleasant surprise to us and made the evening more enjoyable.

My biggest issue with Topaze is how inconsistent they are. I've ordered from them several times and only been completely satisfied with the food on 2 occasions. A big reason why I ordered so much is because there was a $12 off $20 special they had running on Grubhub. The first time I ordered I got the 1/4 jerk chicken it came with 2 pieces of hardough bread, side of Rasta pasta and a rum punch. I asked for jerk and pepper sauce on the side. The jerk chicken was flavorful and perfectly charred and grilled. The sauces were tasty and complimented the chicken well. The rum punch was made with wrey & nephew as it should. So it was strong but still had the fruit juice flavor. The Rasta pasta was complete trash. That was the first and only time I ordered it. The pasta was grossly overcooked and mushy , bland and the peppers were stringy and unevenly cut. Over the next few months the jerk chicken was so inconsistent in portion size, preparation and taste. They often didn't include the bread,even though it says it comes with it in the description and I reminded them in the note section. On more than 4 occasions I had to put chicken back in the oven to get more color on the skin and a better cook. The festival is always hard, dry, dense and on occasion tastes like it was from a previous day. The Mac and cheese was very salty the time I ordered it and that turned me off from ever ordering it again. They often had things on the menu that's wasn't available when you order. Then you have to go through the hassle of a refund. If they can be consistent, they could be great.

The Jamaican breakfast from here is !!!! They one of the few Jamaican spots to can get PORK FREE stew peas, any day of the week!!! The food is always fresh and delish! The fresh juice is good as well.

The food here tastes great. And the service is very good 9 times out of 10. Unfortunately, I got the wrong order tonight. And it sucks because I was actually there in person and watched them put the food into the container. But something happened between them preparing the order and packing it. I ordered a large oxtail with rice and peas and steamed vegetables. I literally watched them ladle the steamed vegetables and they even double confirmed that I wanted steamed vegetables. When I got home I saw that I had been given white rice with black bean stew and beef of some kind.It was good but I wanted oxtails. And I paid oxtail prices. And it's raining and I don't want to go back out. But they're not answering their phone.So yeah I'm not happy.

When you walk in there's a section to order directly then next to it is the restaurant where you can sit down and eat with a bar. I do believe on certain nights they play live music. Oxtail rasta pasta was great. Pasta was nice and creamy and the oxtail was very flavorful. The meat on the oxtail was generous. The rum punch was amazing! They actually use authentic Jamaican rum, Wray and Nephews (the best rum you'll ever have). Service was slow. I went with someone who's been here before and they informed me that you are able to make adjustments to your dish. When we requested to add to the rasta pasta the waitress said no. They did admit they were new so that might have been the reason they didn't allow for adjustments. Overall good place.

Popped into Topaze last minute. Wasn't thinking about it or anything. Passed by this restaurant hundreds of times but never stopped in. Was in the area last night and decided to give it a try. Menu was "meh". Seems like I seen it all before but that's besides the point. As we came in it took a while to be seated. Not because it was packed but because no one was paying us any mind. Finally got seated. Waitress seemed to be rushing us , like "are you ready yet?" We said no not yet. I wasn't ready because there was NOTHING on the menu to stand out to me AT ALL. I guess said waitress was mad that we were not ready before and continued to ignore us until we requested a new wait staff. A gentleman came over. He was actually very friendly (this is where the two stars come in ). Took our order. Mine was jerk wings and macaroni pie. He proceeded to explain that there was no more Mac pie. Ok. Jerk wings ONLY for me. My friend first wanted pepper steak, there was no more of that. Then asked for stew chicken instead. Was informed there was no more of that. . Btw time was about 6:45pm - 7:15 pm decent time. Not too late nor too early. Items should be there. That's when oxtails were ordered. They had that. Jerk wings were not as tasty as they looked. Oxtails were delicious. Also I would recommend the Rasta pasta. It was tasty. Overall 50/50 on the customer service. 50/50 on the food. Don't think that I'll be back.

Yes, nice stuff overall experience was OK. Just didn't like how the chicken roti was served outside the roti.

I am done with this restaurant, the absolute worst!!! My brother ordered from here 2 wks ago & the sold him fish heads and tried to pass it on as a meal, in addition the other meal was ackee & salt fish. Well so they they claim. More than half of the food was full of onions!!!Tonight my mother wanted oxtail, I knew it was a mistake ! A small oxtail for $22, seriously??? Uh nuh ah drink mad puss piss, Then y'all want to be flip & say inflation prices. As u can see from the picture, the few little pieces of what was SUPPOSED TO BE Oxtail, was Nothing but FAT, disgusting !! They don't even pare it off .The audacity !!!! You don't have to worry about this Family ever buying from here again!!! .

I ordered a vegetable roti it came with no skin and a roach, yes a roach. Sitting on the top of a broccoli was a curried roach. I am livid. How can a restaurant that serves roaches continue to go on. This is disgusting. There is not way they did not notice. I opened the package and notice the roach sitting on the top. Please don't eat here.

Terrible service stood there for over 10mins and nobody inquired to any customer service the entire time. The only thing that saves them is that this is the only Caribbean restaurant in the area, other than that their service is terrible. Should turn it into a damn pick up service.smh
