Food was delicious. It was a busy night, so after we were seated we had to wait for about 10-15 min before our waiter came to greet us and after we were done with our meal, we waited about 20 min before the waiter came to take our dessert order. Other than that, we enjoyed our night and would definitely return.

Had yet again a great time at NK restaurant. Went for brunch with a friend. Food was great ( I had the lamb chops as appetizers and my friend ordered wings). Our server Nigel, was great, friendly and thoroughly explained the menu to us. Our entrees were great as well. I ordered the codfish and ackee meal and my friend ordered grits. We were stuffed and satisfied. I’ll be back soon!

The food was exceptional except I didn't rally like the mac & cheese, far too cheesy for me -- I like more of a balance. My sister also said that the rice n beans were cold. I think they were short on service. When I realized I didn't like the mac n cheese, I couldn't find the server so I had to ask the maitre'd for an order of mashed potatoes which did come immediately. I asked for the lamb chops to be medium, but they were well-done, but they tasted excellent. Only thing, I didn't get a steak knife, and I didn't see our server so I had to eat the lamb chops with my hands. The server finally came when the meal was practically finished and asked us if we enjoyed the meal. Tip was included in the charge, so I think that's one of the reason the server didn't really care how we were served. I also think due to it being the holiday season and that the restaurant was short-staffed is another reason service was off. I live in Manhattan and there are very few restaurants like this so I would definitely come back here, but I don't want a server who I only see long enough for me to guess which Latin country he's from.
