“The service was excellent Gina was amazing. Very attentive, super pleasant and had an amazing spirit!! The food was good and they have pretty good portions. The shareables were a lot for 2 people, so be ready to take food home. Overall great experience The Manager coming out to check on everyone was nice too.“

“Food was delicious! Good vibe!“

“Customer service was exceptional. Seating area was a bit small but everyone was so friendly and worked as a team. Honestly the best service I ever had. I went for restaurant week and ordered the shrimp creole. Omg I cleaned my plate and was still salivating over the idea of more when I got home. My partner ordered the crab soup and the salmon. Eyes rolled in the back of his head y’all. Everything was so well and for my first time they left a lasting impression. Would definitely dine here again. I’m just disappointed the shrimp creole isn’t on the regular menu.“

“I was at the restaurant with 5 of my senior citizens friends celebrating a birthday. I would like to thank staff for allowing us to come in and sit down. Everything was excellent! One complaint one of the ladies had a Delicious Drink and it turned her into Chatty Cathy 😀 thank you again for our 5 star service !“

“It was their last day of business. I will miss this gem in West Oak Lane. It was always a good time had at this neighborhood restaurant. A Black owned business that gave their community the very best‼️ Great run, Bynum brothers. Your dad, Mr. Ben, would be so proud of how you have taken his legacy to the next level and have established your family name throughout the city of Philadelphia. Thank you for the great times @ Relish?“

“Im gonna say Samantha, was the number 1 server! I believe everyone's hospitality was unmatched. I almost felt like family. The food was A1 and it came fast. I couldn't believe it. I had the salt in pepper shrimp, omg it was soo good! I got gout and still kept pushing on the seafood. Im going back as soon as I paid again. My children loved the seafood fried rice, the dumplings wasnt good, but the overall 10 stars. They even put my food in containers without asking. Top tier service!“

“Loves the food and the service was outstanding“

“I just moved to the area and was looking for something affordable and filling through Uber Eats while I was unpacking boxes. Clearly I made the right choice with D’s Caribbean. For an amazing price not only did I get amazingly seasoned jerk chicken, but 2 sides as well. My first meal after moving and it was everything I could ask for and more. They absolutely made a strong first impression and made a regular out of me.“
