Visited this establishment for the first time on December 20th for dinner and had an amazing time!

I wasn’t too hungry so I ordered the jerk and honey chicken wings and a side of plantain. The wings were absolutely devine; I don’t think I’ve ever had wings that good in my life. It was the perfect blend of savoury and sweet and the flavours just melt in your mouth. After I got my wings and let the table try them, the rest of my friends ordered their own! The plate is also a generous portion for $18, so it was definitely worth the price and filled me up! The fried plantain was also delicious but a little too soft for my taste. I personally like them a little more firm, but that’s just me preference and they were still enjoyable. For my drink, I ordered a blue lemon drop (first time ordering one), and it wasn’t my cup of tea but I still finished it.

The service was also some of the best service I’ve ever had. Our server, Ugo, who I didn’t know was the manager at the time, was so personable. He was always cracking jokes with our table, super engaged and attentive with us, and patient with our craziness. Ugo explained that the establishment was revamped a bit with the new management, so it was great to see more diversity on their menu and even within the staff!

The vibes are also immaculate! The dim lighting adds just the right amount of intimacy and I’d definitely come back for a dinner date! We left before it turned into a little club after hours so we didn’t get to see what it looked like then, but I definitely want to come back again in the future!

Great food. Great vibe.
Gave jt’m a second chance and had a couple of friends over. First visit didn’t go perfectly cos of some challenges with the service. However there was great attempts from the owners to recover that experience. Came a second time and everything was good. Food is so well seasoned and good portions. Had the best crème brûlée.
Thank you guys for creating such a good spot. Wish you the best!!

I had such a great time! I was there a Friday night with my friend, and our server was the best! Her name is Brooklyn and truly we will make sure she’s working every time we show up! The food was great and Brooklyn made sure we had a good time and enjoyed our meal. The new owners made this spot even better than before ❤️

Service was quick and polite. But not a place for foodies. More a place for drinks and 20 some to party or enjoy a good time. The music was very loud. The food was horrendous. First, we got there at opening and already there were things not available on the menu. The appetizers were really subpar. The crispy calamari tasted like they had just been unfrozen. The batter was excessive. Main course came, the veggies were under cooked, my salmon overcooked and didn’t taste fresh. It came with a salad served with cucumbers and tomatoes that looked as though they had been sitting out for a while. Very mushy. I tasted it once and left the salad. My friend barely touched her burger and didn’t like the food either. We were having a good time otherwise and didn’t complain to anyone as we didn’t want to ruin it for staff or our party. They came often to ask if the food was ok and I didn’t comment as too much was wrong. I had given up. My recommendation to this place is to limit it’s menu options but to propose a few prepared really well. Otherwise I do not recommend it and will not go back. TBH I’m probably not their target clientele either. I went home and made myself dinner.

I had shrimp tacos and they were so yummy! I also asked for a double shot neat of 1800 Reposado--the waiter brought it over in the most elegant glass over a mirror tray that shimmered and dazzled as it made it's way over to me while traditional nostalgic Mexican music from Guadalajara played.

We have always had great experiences at your establishment in the past. Unfortunately, our recent experiences we were left feeling deceived and dissatisfied.

The first occasion was on October 30th. We arrived, excited to enjoy our meal, only to find out that only wings were being served that day. This was a huge disappointment as we had been looking forward to the variety and quality we had previously enjoyed.

This past Saturday, we made another reservation, eager to enjoy the plantains and ribs, which were key reasons for our visit. However, upon arrival, we were informed that both the plantains and ribs were unavailable. This, again, was very disappointing as these items were part of the main reason we chose to dine with you on this occasion.

We understand that staff limitation or food shortages can happen, but we did not expect these issues to affect at the opening on Saturday.

We truly value your restaurant and hope that adjustments can help restore the great experiences we've had in the past.

A Great Spot for Celebrations! I recently attended a party for a friend here, and the experience was fantastic. The staff were incredibly accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. Their attention to detail and exceptional service made the event truly special. Overall, I’d give my experience a 4/5 and highly recommend this spot for hosting celebrations!
