Unfortunately my friends and I got sick after eating there (it is the only place and meal we ate in common so we know for sure it's from here), however the food was really good with good service, and seeing the other comments it doesn't seem like a current problem but we got really sick after eating there so I cannot recommend.

Edited on 6/29/25 in response to the owner's claim that they are open.

I went to this restaurant on Father's Day, 6/15/25, and there were notices from Marshalls taped to the door and enclosed glass veranda. Boards were in some of the windows. It was dark inside and looked closed for business. Since it was drizzling and overcast that day, we left and went somewhere else. I was really looking forward to eating there on Father's Day.

Best place in Fort Greene! Latoya runs the most fun spot in town and makes you feel like family the moment you walk in. Great food, drinks, and vibes. If you want to dance Latoya wants you dancing. If you want to eat, she wants you eating the best Caribbean food in the city and she delivers!! Her husband is awesome and they take care of everyone. Incredible spot.

Vibes were amazing, and the food was delicious. Had the opportunity to talk with the owner and her spirit was everything. Looking forward to returning.

Our food was seasoned well. I had jerk salmon. Not spicy and very moist. It came with a mixture of vegetables and not the typical broccoli. My friend had curry chicken and buss up shot. It arrived in several little pots. Very cute. The music had us jamming in our seats.
Unfortunately, happy hour is only at the bar which was disappointing. I still ordered the rum punch which was heavy on the Curacao. I like this version and yes I could taste the liquor in a good way. Our waiter was a sweet teenage boy who was knowledgeable about the food.
I'll come back when I'm in the area.

Oh gosh, the food good, ya see! I'm at this spot whenever I can because I love good food - and when I tell you everything on the menu is fire, I mean it. Flavors are rich, authentic, and always hit the spot. What truly keeps me coming back though?
The consistency. Every visit, the food is on point and the vibes are just right - welcoming, warm, and full of energy. And I have to shout out Toya --remarkably polite, always serving with a smile, and just a joy to be around. Service is 10/10 every time. If you love real island food and good vibes, this place is a must.

Oxtail is a little too sweet. The young man that waited on me was very nice, but the man behind the bar has a mean spirit.
