Ok so having experienced Chillin' Restaurant before I had high expectations once again about this new location. But to my surprise, I was left in dismay as those high expectations were quickly humbled. The food was not very appealing nor did it taste as good....I ordered a grilled sandwich that is as basic as basic can be, my only request was that I asked to make it spicy (that was a fail), and my wife ordered Shrimp Pasta. this however was the straw that broke the Camel's back as the saying goes, the Shrimp were literally swimming in cheese! it was more like Cheese Soup than Pasta. I gave that a 2 out of 5 and that's just me being generous. Drinks were another failure as I had to send my drink back and have them remake it as it had little to no flavor. another thing they were lacking was the restroom. the sink faucet and the lights were probably the only things working. Maybe my expectations were too high for this place, but as I mentioned before, I've been to the previous location (Hope Gardens) and that was a great experience. this new location and its Chefs are just not cutting it.More

A group of us visited August 2021 ( we tried making reservations however their online reservation service that they tell you to use was down at the time of planning to make it), tried calling and each option, the phone just rang and no one...picked up for about an hour. We finally got through to someone and they told us that they had no room for reservation but they still accepted walk ins and she said that it would be fine since my group was small and we were going early On the day, we were seated and someone gave us water until the last person of our group arrived. Gave us the menu and started taking our order but after one person they asked us to move upstairs which we did because it seemed like lady didn’t want to sit upstairs. -when we were upstairs no one came back to us to finish our order, we sat for over an hour waiting and no one came back, one waitress and we told her what was going on and she said okay and left us. We went downstairs to query what was going on and we were told someone would be with us shortly, no one came to us. Waitresses came and left and took up chairs and no one came to us. It then started to drizzle and not one soul came to us and asked us to love downstairs (despite there being no space). To keep it short, we were basically left in the rain with only the bottle of water that was given to us initially. We eventually left because it was getting late and we were extremely hungry. To our surprise people who came after us who were downstairs got their food and drinks and were eating while we were left starving upstairs. If the restaurant is full just say that from The phone call and don’t be greedy and try and include more customers. Take your money and visit another restaurant it also seems from other patrons that the food is not worth itMore

I went there for Lunch. The Goat was really good as always. Customer service was warm and the location is clean and relaxing with the nice floral plants and cool shaded area in the dining. Highly recommended.

My classmates and our instructors were visiting Kingston. We had an amazing dinner there. The food was delicious. I had the oxtails and fried bammy. We had the platters to try out the wings and more. Everything was tasty, hot and delivered quickly to our...table. I plan on return to Chillin' the next time I visit Kingston. You should definitely give it a try.More

We had dinner here, on Valentine’s Day, made reservations online, before travelling and call and confirm 1 hour prior to arriving- At time of arrival, the hostess told waiter to take over to the nicer side of restaurant, as we requested nice table due to...us being on honeymoon. We walked over all excited to find out no seats were there, the waiter than shuffled us over to any available seat, which was a back facing to stage show, small cocktail style seat, close to waiting bar area. We were not happy, asked to speak to manager, who then proceeded to say “oh we saved these seats for all reservation customers, and no one else complained” Thank god, another hostess over heard and told us to place our orders, as it takes time to come out, have a drink and he would move us to nice bigger table. Once that was resolved, we got to enjoy the live music, we love the atmosphere, the ambiance, the scenery, love it all. The food was really good- flavorful We will return on next visits. Would give 5*, if the table mix up didn't happenMore

The ambiance of the zoo is so nice...especially when you get there when the suns about to go down. Can’t go wrong with the salt fish fritters, wings, jerk pork and the “Burga”. Just order a que of rum with couple friends and catch a...vibe. The staff is polite and chill. Chillin is a whole Mood!More

As always a great experience. Food is always palatable. However, I believe I have exhaust the menu and for 2020, I would be delighted to see some addition to the menu. For example Chicken Buritto or even to introduce new meals on specific days apart...from the standard menu. OTHERWISE, ALWAYS PLEASURE DINING HERE.More
