No Sugar But Will Beat You With a Cane
I've never visited Sugarcane for the warm and fuzzy service; it has never existed. That said, the food was once enough to lure me back to experience the punishment doled out by the staff. Where else would you go, and have the staff (especially the bartenders) force you to take control of your dining experience? I've sat and watched them communicate via grunts and nods of the head: Who does that? Is the clientele not worthy of communication? About two weeks ago is when I decided that enough is enough. On top of the indifferent and sometimes rude staff, I was served a red snapper that was so not fresh; I could smell that it wasn't fresh as it was placed in front of me. Anyhoo, I replaced it with oxtails, a dish that was once stellar at this place, but one that I could only pretend to enjoy on this particular evening. Sugarcane, you need to get it together, and stop taking your patrons for granted.

Brooklyn restaurant with a city feel!
Everything that I've tasted from Sugarcane was amazing! I highly recommend the macaroni pie, callaloo, and oxtail. The sorrel martini is potent, yet delicious. The space is pretty small. There is only one table to seat large parties. Even if you have a reservation, you have to wait for the seated group to finish. If you go in a weekend, don't wait until you are starving (just in case you have to wait a while). It's dim and each table has a candle. Great music, and interesting photos on the walls. The bathroom is pretty cool.

Oxtails to die for !
Would absolutely go again!! Although the place is small, the atmosphere was soothing, the music was pumping, the food was banging...Need I say more? I went on a Friday nite and it was my first time. I'm not sure if this is what they do everynite (music) but I was pleasantly surprise by the whole dinner experience. The Jerk chicken was just like the jerk chicken hut on the beach, the oxtails were truly delicious so if you're looking for some jamaican fun try Sugarcane. Oh and the drinks are no joke ! One drink limit because they are NOT stingy with the liquor !

Great Food, Somewhat Good Service and Congested Environment
The food and drinks are great to me but the location needs to be bigger. Because of limited seating the staff are usually frustrated and patrons are also frustrated because of long wait time. They need to expand.

Good
I have been there twice and both times was excellent. The service was good and also the service. I do encourage people to make a reservation.

Service
The service at Sugar Cane is not good...You wait forever to be seated then you wait another 1/2 to be served. The music is too loud...It's way too small...but one good thing the food is delicious....
