Yah Mon Caribbean Restaurant Tampa Reviews from The Last Year
Food and service was great! I highly recommend you try them
Food and service was great! I highly recommend you try them out for yourself. You won't be disappointed.
10/10 EXPERIENCE!!!!
Let me start off by saying this restaurant had CLASSIC SERVICE. This place really allowed you have a nice dinner date night. Coming from a Caribbean background The Food was great. The food had an authentic taste but still with a classy vibe to the restaurant. We had the jerk wings, coco bread, and the taste of island. Everything was hot and flavorful!! When I go to restaurants that are franchise everything is always rushed, but not here. My Husband brought me here for a birthday dinner and it was a great intimate time. The waiter was very friendly with a great attitude. I recommend coming here with reservations & great patience. Truly enjoy the carribean flavor & music, I promise if you slow down your mindset it’ll make your night worth every bite!!!!

The Good, the Bad and the WTF?! We arrived at our
The Good, the Bad and the WTF?! We arrived at our reservation time of 5:00pm, the same time they advertise they open for dinner. I was surprised to see several people inside already eating. Since we had a 7:00pm show at the Straz I would have come in earlier if I had known. Our waiter warned us that he was the only one in front of house and he hoped we could be patient with service. I told him that we had 1 1/2 hours--a normal amount of time for dinner--and he assured us we would be OK. I would have been fine going elsewhere and returning on a different day and that I didn't want to have to rush eating. Nevertheless, it took a very long time before he took our order. The menu, only available on their website via my phone, is relatively short--normally a good sign. I got a Yah Mon Signature Cocktail with Passion Fruit. There is an option of "virgin" or "relaxed" with the second choice meaning there is liquor. I love passion fruit and the drink was tasty but didn't taste of alcohol. I asked the server if they used rum and he said that it was wine based. An ounce or two of wine for an extra $5? The menu should have clearly stated that the drinks were all wine based. We got some of their wings for an appetizer and they were good. But we barely had time to eat one of the wings before our entrees came. I guess that's how they figured they could save time--by rushing us. My wife had the Caribbean Chicken Platter for an expensive $39. There was chicken, rice and beans, fried plantains and a bit of slaw--all inexpensive ingredients. The chicken was quite good and flavorful. I had the Escovitch Fish, one of my favorite things to eat in Jamaica. It was a whole, small snapper for $49 with rice and beans and none of the salad mentioned on the menu (unless you call the load of cilantro dumped over everything a salad.) For that dish $49 is expensive. Similar ingredients at one of many local Thai restaurants that serve a whole snapper would be $20 less. In any case the fish was nice, but the Escovitch was way too heavy on the vinegar. Everything is very overpriced. One drink and one appetizer and two entrees added up to $115 before tax and tip. I waited a long time for the bill and had to go up to the kitchen door to get it and pay. I expected to see 20% added to the bill since the website says: "Kindly note that a 20% service charge will be included with each order to support the seamless execution of our services and maintain exceptional standards for your satisfaction." I don't really like enforced tipping, and usually tip more than 20%. When the waiter showed me the total on the credit card machine he said that the 20% added was for the kitchen staff and would I like to tip him an amount as recommended on the screen with an additional 20-25%. Now that takes a lot of gall. It felt like a scam and I refused. Food was good, service was bad, and the pricing was way too high with WTF tipping policies. I won't return.

Best Caribbean food I've tasted.
Good customer service and food was excellent. Restaurant area and bathroom were very clean. I noticed that the server washed his hands every time he touch the phone or anything which was a plus in my mind
Was in town for a soccer tournament and saw the reviews on
Was in town for a soccer tournament and saw the reviews on Yelp and decided to stop in. So glad we did. Ambiance hits you first, nice. Real talk, I did not have a bad bite of food!! The jerk chicken wings are the best I've had and I love me some wings...they literally fell off the bones. EVERYTHING--oxtail, curried chicken and goat, jerk chicken, coco bread, rice and peas-- were amazing, no lie. Oh and plantains were done to perfection.This is my first food review, ever! It was that good. Jamaican food is my native taste and comfort food. I was comforted. By the way, it's family run place and the service was fantastic; warmed my heart to see the little boys helping and no doubt developing amazing work ethic. Bravo!
The gentlemen that greeted was pleasant kind and hospitable.
Literally great service no complaints at all. Gave recommendations and compliments just very genuine and attentive. Definitely blessed with a beautiful spirit. Food was amazing it is pricey but worth it. Portion size isn't cracy big but enough. Overall beautiful experience.
Prolly cheaper to fly to the Caribbean.
Kind of insulting to West Indies food. More like- Nah Mon.
Great food and awesome customer service!!! Definitely glad
Great food and awesome customer service!!! Definitely glad to have found this place and will certainly be back!!
The service was good, the dishes were salty.
The chicken was tender, probably meant as bar snacks. Had a quick meal and tipped 40%. There was an automatic 20% tip, and also an optional 20% tip for the kitchen staff when paying by card. Beef Patty: Tried the Trader Joe's frozen version. Taste of the Islands: A sample plate featuring oxtail, lamb curry, spiced roast chicken, and fried plantains. Everything was tender and flavorful, but perhaps marinated for too long, resulting in a salty taste. The rice was delicious. Surprisingly, the roast chicken, which I had low expectations for, was quite tender
We went here for Valentine's Day, and the entertainment was
We went here for Valentine's Day, and the entertainment was awesome. Tanner Johnson played his instrument and even took requests from people at their tables. The food was very good. We had cauliflower, snapper, jerk, wings, curry, goat, oxtail, and jerk chicken. When I made the reservation a few weeks prior to Valentine's Day, I was unaware there would be a cost for the table as I do not recall seeing that on the website, nor being told when the reservation was confirmed. When we arrived we were asked if we wanted a booth which was $450! We said no and they sat us at a table. Once we were seated at the table, the hostess advised the table was $250 which included two meals two appetizers, two glasses of champagne and one dessert. I did not mind the cost, but I would have appreciated it more if I was made aware ahead of time when the reservation was made. I was charged for two add-ons, which were two sides that I did not order and the manager was very quick to remove those charges with no problem as they were meant to be put on a different tables tab.the hostess, waiter, and manager were all super nice. The food was delicious! I am not sure if it was worth the $325 that was paid for the two of us.
Birthday Dinner Yassss
I am a foodie and LOVE GREAT FOOD!!! This is up in my top 2 favorite restaurants of all time!!! The coconut bread was extended with a to go order and the snapper stew…I slapped my moma. The fried cauliflower was like no other cauliflower that I have ever had. Each flower of the cauli had an individual crisp. Worth the wait for FRESH, HOT and DELICIOUS food!!!!
NOT AUTHENTIC AND WAAAYYYY OVERPRICED
Pros: ambiance, service, host Cons: taste, drink options, price, portion sizes The food is not authentic Jamaican food. The servings are small. I got the carribean chicken dish that comes with curry chicken, brownstew chicken and jerk chicken. My date ordered the brown stew red snapper. The fish was good. It was a large portion. It came with one little scoop of rice and peas. The jerk chicken was baked not smoked as authentic jerk typically is. The brown stew chicken was not good. The curry chicken was ok. All three meats came with one small scoop of rice and peas and about a half cup of kale salad. I added on a roti skin for the curry. It was heavy, pasty inside and dense. They were out of plantains which was really disappointing, but they did offer another side to compensate. I ended up getting a side salad which was some spinach with cherry tomatoes, cucumber and a balsamic vinegarette. We opted for a banana pudding with rum raisin ice cream. Pudding was dry. Ice cream was minimal. The pricing is crazy. The fish dinner was $49! And the chicken trio was $39. They serve tropical juices- pineapple, passionfruit, coconut- that you can add rum too but all the rum is flavored. No Wray and Nephew. No Appleton. No Myers. Disappointing.
Don’t judge by the outside!
This looked like a hole in the wall, but once you walk inside you are met with a quaint restaurant and outstanding service! We started with jerk wings, coco bread and Caribbean meat patties. The waiter made suggestions and he was on point! We then had the Caribbean chicken platter. Curry, jerk and a sweet stew. The plate also included rice and peas, salad and plantains. Everything was super flavorful and fall off the bone tender. Highly recommend!

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

Give the best answerHonest review of AT and advice to new joiners
Forget trying to snipe reservations online by waking up early and booking top restaurants at Carbone or Tatiana or Cote or 4Charles. After 2.5 months of booking reservations by setting up alarms, waking up early to sell appointments. It’s very hard to cash out on this app. During cash out, you have to pay $5 fee +3% transactions fee and max payout per day is $150.
Advice to new users:
- do not mass book reservations
- fill bids only
- don’t try to book reservations online, you need connections and call the restaurant

Give the best answerQuestion about postpaid listings for prepaid bookings
I have a prepaid reservation, but I'm allowed to transfer that reservation to others for a price that I set (up to the total price I paid).
For selling POSTPAID reservations, do I charge the buyer the full amount of the reservation when transferring? And then the buyer pays something on top of that (which is what is listed in the AppointmentTrader listing?)
