“The service at this restaurant is exceptional, from the moment you walk in to the very end. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure that their customers are taken care of, earning a solid 10/10 rating with service. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with soft lighting and a simple yet classy interior design spread out over two levels.We tried a variety of cocktails and starters, including cassava fritters, pork paw, and jerk wings - my personal favorite. Other starters such as Aloo and Channa Pies and Callaloo soup were also delicious. For my entree, I opted for the oxtail with coconut rice and plantains, although it was tasty, I have had better oxtail elsewhere and found the flavor to be a bit underwhelming.Overall, I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try as the service and ambiance alone make it worth the visit.“

“Ridiculously good. Lively, super fun, delicious food, friendly staff and super busy. I'd be here every month if I lived closer. Visited from out of state and a friend suggested we go. We went last minute, we didn't have reservations and it was a 45 min wait. Absolutely worth the wait. Loved it.“

“Had a Jamaican Pattie once over 20 yrs ago and it made a huge impact on me then. You can taste the heat from the scotch bonnet which at the time, was the most delicious and spiciest thing I had had ever. Today’s brought back those memories. We also ordered the chix curry and oxtail stew, which all came in perfectly made. This might just become our weekly lunches delivery staple!“

“Delicious and very friendly service! I had jerk chicken (spicy) which came with rice & beans, cabbage, plus I ordered a side of plantains and a bottle of sorrel (hibiscus/ginger drink). All were excellent. I was going to try a seafood dish but those are made fresh to order and take about 20 min whereas the other dishes come out immediately. Next time I'll have to order ahead for fish! btw I accidentally dropped a tip in a coffee mug and Andrene was very gracious about it! ☺️“

“I stopped by this bar on a Saturday night and the atmosphere and vibes were amazing, 2nd floor was a cool lounge area and the bartenders were on point especially JC! His energy and attentiveness was great as-well as the food and drinks recommended were 10/10. He recommended a Smokey old fashioned which was delicious as-well as the Jerk chicken which went CRAZY. I will definitely be back for the food and drinks and especially for the bartender JC!!“

“Wow. Amazing flavor. The jerk chicken was mind blowing smoky goodness and paired perfectly with sweet habanero sauce. Everything else was excellent - rice and peas, cabbage stir fry, candied yams, collard greens, reggae rice, fried plantains, and porridge.“
