Food taste great. The food portion compared to other Caribbean restaurants for the price is a smaller portion. There isn't that much of a difference servings wise between a regular and large plate beside the higher cost! They have a constency of well seasoned cuisine

Food was decent and prices were good. Came on a night where there was no entertainment so it was a calm atmosphere. Was hoping for some memorabilia from the movie or something, but that wasn’t the vibe.

Tonight I stayed in, ordered DD.

The food was fresh, it was NOT worth $29 for this combo plate.
The best flavor was from the brown stew chicken, in which I was given 3 pieces. The plate was covered w/rice. A little cabbage on top. (Cabbage was good tho)

The Oxtails were tender & bland.
2nd time I’ve tried their oxtails recently after giving them a rest for a couple years.

It’s been a long run,...
