A group of college friends got together for a weekend in Atlanta and football. We made a stop at Rock Steady, and I'm glad we did. It was a bit loud, so communicating with the staff was a bit of a challenge. I asked about the honey fire shrimp, and asked for recommendations for a substitution for the coconut rice as I'm allergic. I got the jahn jahn rice instead, and the dish was fantastic. Very flavorful with a complex taste with simple ingredients. They have a pretty strict limit on time you can be in there, which was bit of a turn off. But, I have been singing the shrimps praises since I returned to California.

Rock Steady, baby...it's what I like, let's call this place exactly what it is AMAZING... The atmosphere is sophisticated with its unique lighting fixtures that resembles a bramble, but works well in a space that offers different dining experiences from the bar, table or lounge areas. The selection of cocktails leaves nothing to the imagination, but if you are a true Caribbean foodie, the offer Jamaica's award winning Red Stripe beer. The food is Caribbean inspired but still has the authenticity of the cultures that inspires their culinary selections. I highly recommend the Caribbean Queen Chowder as a starter, a blend of seafood and vegetables in a delicious cream broth. Follow it with the Oxtails served over pasta or the Jerk Chicken (served with collard greens) not seeing the island flavor there but who does not like well prepared collards. The curry goat was very good, not the goat granny made over an open fire, but still good. The service was top notch, from the valet parking to the greeters, hostesses and bartender, they all complimented the dining experience. Now steady yourself, this dining experience is not for the frugal as it is on the $$$$ pricey side, but well worth it. A great place for special occasions and I strongly suggest making reservations.

Ordered the mango shrimp as an entree. The vibe of the restaurant was really nice, grown, sexy, dim lights vibe. I'd say the entree list is pretty limited and would suggest getting appetizers and splitting amongst the group but we couldn't finalize on any so we stuck to entrees. The drinks were also super strong but sweet so definitely have a ride prepared. I need to come back and try some more of their menu!

This place is a whole vibe! (It was recommended to us while visiting Atlanta). The Afro-Caribbean influence is apparent as soon as you walk in. The art, lights, music, and overall vibe of the place is 10/10. They had a live DJ playing on Saturday night and they serve a late night menu until 1am. Our waitress was pheeenominal. So personable and friendly! She recommended a few dishes to us but we decided on sharing some apps between the four of us. We decided on the jerk chicken egg rolls, calamari, collard greens dip, and cauliflower. All was delicious and the flavors were insane. My fav was the calamari and dip tho! The egg rolls need hot sauce or something else to give it a little zing in my opinion. We didn't order drinks but they have a great cocktail menu. Just upstairs is a night club with a DJ and couches / bottle service. Whole place was a vibe and the melanin was popppinnnn everywhere. Definitely a must if you're visiting Atlanta!

I finally made it to this restaurant. And I like it. Parking: street, valet or public parking all around. Most economical was street. 3 hours for a little over $6. Entrance/decor: nicely dressed doorman, valet and staff. Decor is as is from the pictures. Food: we had lamb chops, cauliflower and wings. Enjoyed all of it. I would have preferred the lamb chops a little more tender. My preference. But everything was seasoned and presentation was perfection. And drinks were very good!!! Service: our waiter was phenomenal. I had tons of questions, and she was very patient. It seemed like it was a busy night. There is a lounge upstairs and a private room downstairs. Upstairs was thumping, Dj and vibes was great. I will definitely return.

I loved Rock Steady. Met up with a childhood friend for Sunday brunch. It was the perfect ambiance for 20 years of catching up. The decor was a resort like tropical oasis reminiscent of the Caribbean. The thatch covered ceiling/light fixtures were aesthetically pleasing. The food was delicious. The sweet potato French toast was a nice twist. It was more like a fluffy monkey bread than a traditional French toast. It was also quite filling. I only ate one of the two toasts. The cocktail was tasty and strong. This may have made it somewhat difficult to read the bathroom signs to differentiate the men's from the women's. The letterings were confusing. We received great service. Our waiter was attentive. He also took our picture as we were leaving. I wish we could have dined in the music gallery, but I plan to go back on my next visit to Atlanta. Why not five stars? I parked in the parking lot adjacent to the building. It's valet upon entry. I paid and tipped via the app while dining. When I retrieved my car, the parking attendant made a spiel about tips. I told him I'd already paid via the app. He said they don't receive tips from the app. That should be sorted out with the restaurant. I didn't like being solicited. Note that there is ample street parking. It was raining and I had luggage in my car, so I opted for secured parking. I highly recommend this restaurant.
