I HAV BEEN THERE SEVERAL TIMES. THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES I TRIED THE RASTA PASTA (SHRIMP 4 TIMES AND CHICKEN 1 TIME) AWSOME! THEN I TRIED THE CURRY SHRIMP WHICH WAS ANOTHER EXCELLENT DISH. THEN I HAD THE JERK RIB EYE STEAK. OH MY GOD! I AM REALLY IMPRESSED THAT A STEAK THAT THICK CAN BE SO TENDER AND JUICY. I'M ALWAYS RECOMENDING PEOPLE TO THIS SPOT AND THEY COME BACK WITH GOOD COMMENTS AS WELL. I WILL BE THERE TOMORROW WITH TWO MORE FRIENDS TO TRY OUT YOUR DISHES...SEE YA TOMORROW.

I went to Ripe and was very disappointed. The decor and our waiter Jeffrey were great. The salad was good and my husband said the shrimp appetizer was tasty. My sister said the quesidallas were good as well. The drinks were excellent-the only thing I would go back for! Though I usually do not order steak out, based on the Bobby Flay throw down and my family's recommendation I ordered it. I should have had the Rasta Pasta! The steak was fatty and grisly -shame on you! There were four of us, two of us ordered the steak medium well, one medium and one medium rare - they all came out the same! Though I know you are famous for your spices, I did request that you not put the sauce on my steak and waste it, but my request was not adhered too. After dinner, the only dessert was tiramusu - an Italian dessert and there was no coffee! What no Blue Mountain coffee!

First time to the restaurant on Sat. Sept. 27th, we did wait forever for a table as it was packed, but was well worth it, because we got picture with Usain Bolt as he was leaving. You must be doing something right since he chose your restaurant to eat at with so many other choices in New York. And he was right, the steak was juicy and full of flavor!

I agree the wait's a pain on the busier nights but I forget about all of that once the food arrives. Not a large menu but every items's a hit. Soooo glad I live close by. Thanks Ripe.

The food was AMAZING. We had the quesedillas, the jerk steak, jerk chicken, and rasta pasta. The jerk steak and chicken were to die for. The chef came out afterwards to see if we had enjoyed the meal, which was a nice touch. The place was intimate and the ambiance was great. 10/10!

Everything is delicious, from the Jerk chicken to the Fish! Don't be afraid to try anything on the menu. The ambiance is perfect inside and who wouldn't want to have a catering event in the out doors portion of the restaurant where thers a beautiful island theme? THE SERVICE IS HORRIBLE, but you can put it to the side for that great FOOD!

Super friendly staff for our take out order. Had the jerk chicken quesadillas and the Rasta Pasta. Ordered two of the q's but even with our hearty appetites, the portions were generous and only one was needed. Leftovers ;) The mango salsa is excellent & the pasta was amazing. Great shrimp!
We'll be back to enjoy the atmosphere next time & try the ribeye!

Your Jerk Ribeye was absolutely awesome! We were in NY for the 4th of July weekend and I'd seen the throwdown on food network and told my wife that we were going to go to the Yankees-Red Sox game and then go to RIPE for the Ribeye. I'm from New Orleans area and that steak rivals any down here done the cajun style, similar to yours. KUDOS!

Absolutely the best, hands down. This past weekend was my first time and I am totally sold...on food, drinks, people atmosphere. You have a great thing going. Whatever you are doing - it's working, so keep it up! And, yes I waited for my food and for my table...just like at any other good restaurant you go to on a busy summer day! And, I will wait for my food and table again if I have to because it was worth it!

Go early as it gets busy but the food is absolutely fabulous. Very flavorful and affordable considering the Food Network thing. Great show by the way!
