Tropical Sensation
About Us
Jose Ramirez and his associate first opened Tropical Sensation in August of 2008. Over ten years, the business has transformed into a local, neighborhood, family-run business as now, three generations of the Ramirez runs the restaurant together.
What makes us special?
Quality Control & Freshness:
Tropical Sensation works hard to keep their food fresh. Most dishes are made to order, and nothing is re-cooked. They always have “garlic on hand” as it goes into many traditional Dominican dishes, and they have fresh produce delivered three times a week. The Ramirez’s stress the importance of quality control!.
Great Customer Service:
The Ramirez’s have worked hard to keep their clientele happy with great customer service and their willingness to satisfy customer complaints. Due to such great service, word-of-mouth has continuously increased the number of Tropical Sensation’s customers.
Beautiful Interior:
The ceiling is beautifully painted with birds by a Dominican painter, and the wall decorations were also completed by Dominican artists. The Ramirez’s have tried to represent “as much of the Caribbean as [they] can in [their] design” and use of colors such as yellow and blue.
Affordability::
Tropical Sensation makes their dishes as affordable as much as they can even with the changing economy. Even with the low prices, the portions are generous.
Family Oriented
Not only is the restaurant owned and run by Nadine and Alain, a married couple, their son runs Voila Caterers, a catering company that “came out of the kitchen of Cafe du Soleil”. Voila Caterers serves at gatherings of 10-300 people all over New York City. Furthermore, having managed to keep the same staff for long periods of time (6-10 years), the staff is another family to Nadine and Alain.
“We have been here for 10 years and hope to stay. We want to stay in this community with the people we know.”
