Used to like this place

Food is consistently good, if you like it spicy. Over the years this place had been a favorite of ours, but sad to say that the service has consistently gone down hill. Most notably on a recent trip: after we paid our bill we still were finishing our drinks. Wife had about 1/3 glass of wine left and I had about 1/2 a beer. The server came back and told us that people were waiting on our table and they'd appreciate it if we'd hurry up. We had a reservation, wouldn't that at least give us the table long enough to finish our drinks? I later complained to the owner who seemed to be appalled and said she would send a gift card, but that never happened. Not the first experience with poor service at this restaurant. We do like the food, but will not be returning.
NO WAY

The hostess asked us to wait for ten minutes after acknowledging our reservation and then forgot to seat us. After 45 minutes when approached she bought us each a drink (2 people) and seated us within minutes. The waitress ignored us until prompted by the hostess. The food was mediocre bordering on bad. The bartenders were competent, the music too loud for the space, and we will not return. We will make faces at them when we walk by and tell our friends not to attend 8 Rivers.
just ok

We decided on trying this restaurant based on CitySearch reviews and a Westword 2008 recommendation. In that regard, it was disappointing. However, overall, like many restaurants, it was just ok. Ambience is a matter of taste, but again, in our opinion. It was just ok. The prices and food portions were fair. We tried the two different rum drinks. On the positive, they didn?t skimp on the rum, but otherwise the drinks were just ok. The crab cakes appetizers were ok, but the fried chutney appetizers were boring. The dinner presentation was nice and we enjoyed the seasonings ? the sides were just ok. The jerked pork was drier than it should have been and was tough ? and my wife didn?t even take home the leftover jerked tofu. She obviously wasn?t impressed. Our waitress was helpful, but didn?t have the subtleties or unobtrusive nature of a good server. She was just ok. Finally, the fact that the restaurant remained 50% - 67% empty (at the busiest time) on a beautiful Saturday night indicates to me that others also think this place is just ok.
Love this restaurant

I have to say that this was one of the best dinning experiences we've had in a while. The atmoshere was romantic and the food was spicy. Our server was polite and made an excellent wine suggestion. We started off with soup for me and a salad for him. My JRK chicken and rice soup had the perfect amount of spice and his salad had the most wonderful curry dressing atop mixed greens with tomatoes and cucumbers. We had to keep switching back and forth. Our entrees were no let down either. I had the Tropical Chicken which was incredible. Who knew chicken wrapped plantains could be so divine? He had the Jrk Tenderloin, impressive indeed. Needless to say we have been raving about it to our friends ever since. Certainly a place I will be returning to again and again.
