THE FOOD: Dunns River Lounge offers authentic Jamaican cuisine since 2004 in a casually elegant & intimate setting on Long Island. Our menu, prepared by our Chef Bobby and his crew features traditional dishes like Jerk Chicken, Braised Oxtails, Curried Goat and Jerk Salmon as well as creative daily specials like Jerk BBQ Ribs, Jerk Lobster Pasta & Codfish Fritters with Guacamole.

THE VIBE: Whether you dine with us indoors or on our outdoor patio during the summer months, you'll feel like you are in Jamaica. Enjoy weekly live entertainment with the sounds of reggae, soca & r&b. We're great for everything from small dinners for two to large family-style celebrations for 20 guests or more!
