"Awesome!"--Marsha Kimpton, KTVU, Mornings on 2

"Who needs a trip to Martinique when Tropix is just a bridge toll away? Coconut-crusted red snapper with a lush strawberry salsa is remarkable. Spicy grilled jerk chicken and luscious chunks of mango arranged over a heap of shredded vegetables and mixed greens makes a perfect patio repast. Don't miss the shrimp pawpaw, which pairs curried vegetables, shrimp, and fontina cheese with a meltingly ripe hunk of fresh papaya."--Stephanie Rosenbaum, Bay Guardian

"Tropix Caribbean Spices Up Oakland"

"Tropix reminds me of one of those friendly, spirited Caribbean cafes. The colorful Haitian art, lush plants, and tropical rainbow colors suggests an island retreat."

"On warm days and balmy nights, the deck makes a delightful escape from urban life."

"The thick, dark, and deeply spiced gumbo was one of the best I've ever tasted."--Maria Cianci, SF Chronicle


"Tropix lets diners take a culinary vacation. The menu features a mix of hearty, well-prepared Caribbean and Cajun-Creole dishes at reasonable prices. Eggplant fritters and the accompanying mango-pineapple chutney are heavenly. Crab cakes are fresh, crisp, and delicious with plenty of crab under a golden brown crust."--Robin Davis, SF Chronicle
