Customer Review Summary
Oxtail draws the most praise at 876 Uptown, described as tender, fall off the bone and absolutely delicious, with curry goat and curry chicken close behind. Reviewers also single out the salt and pepper squid starter and its chef-made dip, plus jerk chicken and fried dumpling. Cocktails come up repeatedly, including the 876 Zombie, a sorrel and Guinness punch and non-alcoholic cocktails, and one reviewer mentions the owner making matching mocktails for the children. Music and atmosphere are called great, and several describe friendly, helpful staff and generous portions that left enough for leftovers. Red velvet and chocolate cake get a mention too. The one mixed account calls the food a bit average, with a small jerk chicken portion, the rest bland, and little left on the menu by 8pm. Several large family and birthday groups describe the service positively, and one reviewer says a server fetched a cake from across the road so the table could sing happy birthday.

“Went to this restaurant to celebrate my cousins birthday. And honestly it was the best experience. The food was lovely the atmosphere was amazing and the cocktails (876 Zombie) was beautiful. The owner personally made matching mocktails for the children. Soon as we sat down we was greeted with polite and caring staff who promptly took our order and answered any questions regarding the menu. The gentleman serving us also went out his way to provide us with a cake from across the road to sing happy birthday. I will definitely be returning in the near future. Thank you 876 Uptown…”

“Went for Valentine’s Day & was not disappointed. The food 10/10, oxtail was absolutely delicious. Had starters too and recommend the salt & pepper squid, the sauce is made by the chef. Took home a slice of red velvet & the choc cake which both tasted amazing. The decor, seating & music gives the restaurant a relaxing & comfortable ambiance. Will definitely be back. Thank you to the staff for a great & hospitable experience.”
