I recently had the pleasure of dining at Dunn's River Jamaican restaurant in Rockville Centre, and it was an experience I won't soon forget. From the moment I stepped in, the decor struck me as both chic and inviting, setting the stage for a wonderful meal in a great ambiance.
The food was simply outstanding – a delightful journey of flavors. Each dish was seasoned to perfection, capturing the essence of authentic Jamaican cuisine with a nice, spicy kick that tantalized my taste buds. The drinks complemented the meal beautifully, each sip as delicious and tasty as the last, adding to the overall enjoyment of the dining experience.
Parking at Dunn's River was an absolute breeze, which is always a bonus. Plus, its proximity to the LIRR train stop, just a block away, makes it incredibly convenient for anyone traveling by public transit.
What truly set this restaurant apart, however, was the staff. Their service was impeccable, contributing significantly to the overall five-star experience. Each staff member was attentive, friendly, and genuinely seemed to care about providing the best possible experience for their guests.
In summary, Dunn's River Jamaican restaurant is a must-visit for anyone in Rockville Centre looking for delicious food, great drinks, and an inviting atmosphere. Their combination of mouth-watering cuisine, exceptional service, and convenient location make them deserving of a solid five-star rating. I'll definitely be returning and recommending it to others!

Delicious food. Loved the snapper and the curry chicken. Shari was EXCEPTIONAL! She went above and beyond to give us world class service and welcome our family: Amoy also was a true gentlemen in terms of hospitality. Great food and experience!

I visited this restaurant for the first time with my dear friend. The food here is lovely and the staff friendly, professional, and very attentive. Especially, Nick, who made me the most awesome drink,'Good Fi Yuh Back' The atmosphere was relaxed and warm.

Had another fantastic experience at Dunns River in Rvc. S/O to Shari for holding us down. She's super friendly, made sure we had everything we needed down to the sauces. Rum punch was delightful. The food is excellent hats off to the chef .

So I have been here a few times. Once during a Sunday brunch with my bestie back in 2013 which was good. Then I decided to do the new year here one year food was good. Then I came twice during the pandemic and was disappointed due to a take out order being wrong and then a time my rice tasted burnt. I decided to come back and give it another try. The place is upgraded with different seating arrangements which is okay just kinda close to the next person dining . Also the new chairs are not that comfortable. Service was kinda slow but that's expected because I believe I only saw two girls and they had to make the drinks and wait on the tables. Food was great this time no complaints! Drinks were okay there was a guy who made amazing drinks but he wasn't there and that was a time ago. Overall I was satisfied with my meal and I'm glad they are still up and running after all these years.

Highly recommend! The flavor of the food was delicious. We ordered the jerk chicken lunch plate and the jerk salmon. I knew this restaurant was going to be good when the sweet plaintain were actually sweet! The rice and peas were really delicious too.
Not only was the food good but make sure you get the Tropical Storm Margarita. That coconut flavor made the drink instantly one of my favorites. The watermelon margarita was refreshing too. I appreciate that they are not stingy with the drink size too!
The host was really kind and offered recommendations based on the type of drink we wanted. Great service, great music, and great food and drinks! I will be back again for my birthday! Yes, I’ll drag my butt from Brooklyn out to Long Island for this. Next time I’m going for the curry chicken and the macaroni.
