This is the best caribbean food that I have ever had and that's why I keep going back. If you want a true west indian experience straight from the island of Trinidad & Tobago then Sugarcane is the place to be. Please note that you should make reservations ahead of time for any weekend dinner plans. IF not the wait can be over 2 hours since this place is very popular but very small. Call ahead! Then when you get to the table have the appetizer sampler and order the roti and curry chicken. Yummy!
Pros: great food, drinks, music
Cons: too small

while visiting from England, my two cousins, took me to this place, i would not go as far as much to say is that it is really not a resturant as i think only maybe 6 sets of table it is in my opinion, a bar that wants to be a resturant, but the space is far too small, and the music loud enough to be a club
we ate, i had asked for a drink strainght, no ice, so they bring it , full up of ice, so i let that one go , ordered a steak well done, it came cut into it, it was red rare, they took it away, and surposeddly cooked it some more, and it was a little rubbery, came back not much different, gave up so i would not really go there again
Pros: friendly crowd
Cons: food on the everyday menu ran out

Now the food was great! The price was ok. Its was waaay too crowded and the service was extremely slow. Be warned: Bring cash do not use your credit card. They tacted on a extra $20 even after we left a cash tip. If you dont mind going thru all that for some good food, then enjoy!
Pros: The food was great!
Cons: The service/ credit card fraud

I visited Sugar Cane Restaurant for the first time last night and I must say that it was quite a delightful experience! There was about a 20 min wait before we got seated but it was all worth it after we got in. Wendell, who worked at the door was very pleasant and would continually give us updates about how long it will take till we get a table and that he didn't forget us. Even after we got a table he would pass by and ask us how we were doing, if we needed anything and was always available to answer any questions we had. Within 12 minutes of being seated we were served our drinks and appetizers. The drinks are out of this word - very creative, colorful , tasty and reasonably priced. I had a delicious sour sop colada and my girlfriend had the sorrel mojito. Our waiter was very pleasant, professional and did not make us feel rushed at all. It took about 15 minutes to get the food and when it came it was out of this world. The presentation was fabulous, and when we finally tasted it it tingled all the senses! I had the oxtail, macaroni pie and the best tasting callaloo I have ever tasted (and coming from a Trini that says alot). My girlfriend had the curry shrimp, rice and peas and plantains - she couldn't even finish her meal since the servings were so large. She truly enjoyed the trini syle rice and peas that we were use to and said the food was very, very tasty. The ambiance was elegant, great crowd, friendly bartender and the surroundings had a fancy manhattan feel but we were right here in Brooklyn. Great place to hang with friends or sit by the bar and enjoy good music and a great vibe.
Kudos to the Chief, Management and staff of Sugar Cane Restaurant. I will be telling all my friends about it and I will definitely be going back again and again and again.
Pros: Great food, drinks, service, staff. Conveniently located on flatbush.
Cons: Music was a bit loud and it could be a bit more spacious.

I think the popularity of Sugarcane is causing it to not be the same. It is extremely packed and the service is horrific. It takes forever to get seated and get served.
If you want to get your drink on or just chill with friends, i highly suggest. If you are extremely hungry, go at your own risk. The dishes are sometimes bland (not seasoned to perfection) As a Jamaican, I have high expectation when it comes to caribbean cuisine.
If you need a scene and want to people watch - Sugarcane is for u
Pros: trendy scene, ambiance, great music
Cons: wait to be seated, slow service, bland dishes

Sugarcane deserves kudos for creating an authentic caribbean atmosphere, I must admit, I go there for the ambience created by the music and the people. The food is average at best and not very good when you factor in the prices. I've had the jrk chicken, which though tasty, still lack that bite, it was much better a few years ago. I am a native Brooklynite and grew up in Flatbush, as such I know places like Fisherman Cove (or even Mom) can offer a much tastier meal at a fraction of the price. However if you are looking for a sit-down dinner or even drinks w/friends in a cool, friendly and festive spot, I would highly recommend sugar cane.
Pros: Atmosphere that is unusual in that area.
Cons: Expensive, average food for discerning diners.

I eat out quite often and I heard about Sugarcane from a friend so i decided to give them a try.....the entrance looked a little dingy so I became skeptical but upon entering the restaurant I was impressed on what I found inside. The place was small yet nicely decorated although a lighting was an issue for me and reading the menu proved difficult as my vision is impaired and I wasn't use to the menu. The server was pleasant, the music was good....but to the best part THE FOOD.....excellent!!!!! I ordered the calypso steak with coconut rice and the callaloo puree was divine...a little spicy so i wouldn't recommend this menu item for anyone who can't handle spicy food. My steak was juicy and tender even though it was well done and the sauce was a little tangy. The coconut rice was a treat to my taste buds beacuse as a caribbean native its always been "rice and peas". The martinis were great, I had the watermelon and I got a nice chunk of watermelon which after being infused with the liquor was a nice bite at the end of my drink!! All in all a great visit...please try Sugarcane this weekend instead of Friday's!
Pros: food, food, food
Cons: parking, lighting, small space
