Food is good I came here twice. Both times I enjoyed myself the service can take a little longer due to it getting crowded but overall a good experience.

Came here just for drinks only. 2 glass of baileys cost me $50 with an auto gratuity of 18%. Apparently this JAMAICAN establishment doesn’t carry a standard size bottle of baileys; they charge $10 per nip and use 2 nips per drink. I was not informed prior to ordering and will not be returning.

Drinks were juice, no liquor in the margaritas. I basically paid $40 for two caprisuns. Went during a comedy show and immediately got targeted by the comedian. Luckily I'm tough skinned and it was about all them muscles 😆. But a bit of a surprise. After the comedian ended DJ was lit, but everyone left... it was a Thursday 🤷🏿‍♂️

My server name was Vanisha and she was amazing so friendly and check on our table so frequently and don’t forget she had more than 2 tables she is an asset to your restaurant. And I couldn’t forget Maya who was behind the bar. These ladies made my visit special. I have already told so many of my friends of this new spot I found. In case you want to feel as special as I felt you try to get there on Sundays Wednesday Thursday Friday and Saturdays. You won’t regret it.

Shout out to the young lady that stayed on the phone and tried to help us! My Husband and I love this restaurant and always try to support by dining in however we just have tried to order online to support via delivery and uber eats and all other apps. I tried to do delivery around 2 times on different occasions (Jerk Chicken).

I have called and shared that this specific item that we want we is not an option on these apps; however they shared that it is on there end. We tried to see if we can take a different route by asking to order something that’s the same price and place in notes that we want jerk chicken since it’s not an option on the app; the manager said no. I’m not sure how we can continue to support if the customer needs are not being met.

This is my 3rd time there and twice for happy hour. Happy Hour is until 7pm. Yayy. Our bartender was Chris great. Drinks were great and strong. We had margaritas, Tequila sunrise and my lemon drop with Tequila was so delicious. Now the food. Definitely worth the trip. For happy Hour the meals are like $8-$10 bucks. We had jerk Chicken euthanasia rice and peas, cod fritters, escovitch fish was nice and spicy, the peppers shrimp is definitely my favorite is just you have to peel it with your hands but if you ask for gloves you will get it and the buffalo wings with fries real good. Now as far as ambiance it's not the best but the food is worth it and the music is always on point. Let Chris know he was highly recommended.
