When you're in the mood for authentic Jamaican cuisine and "fall off the bone" Barbecue venture to Mo Bay Uptown on 125th between Lenox and 5th Avenues. Normally I wouldn't recommend a thing on 125th; except for the Apollo Theatre, but I must take exception with the ire of this restaurant.
MOBAY is never empty and the food is always dalish. And the drinks are worth the 12 dollars that you plunk, b/c you will surely feel a tinge in all the right places; they do not skimp on the alcohol. They also make this alcohol-free Jamaican punch that will make you put down the Kool-Aide forever. The place is kinda on the small side, and when the house jazz band isn't in, they could use a better soundtrack in terms of their music selection. "Ready for the World's: Let Me Love You Down" is not my idea of music to my ears when I dine out; in fact it's quite distasteful. And sometimes you will have neighbors who simply do not have any table manners when it comes to the dining out experience; the wearing of Yankee caps, obnoxiously loud conversations; and we are all too familiar with ultra rudeness that the invention of the cell phone brought. But that's just snobby me looking for ways to be offended.
The plus plus here is that they have a great restroom; an indicator of good business practices.
No dress code. Reservations are recommend; even though I've never made a reservation ever. Otherwise, give them a call.
