The plantains weren't soft and squishy they were kind of dry. Not what I expect from a traditional sweet Plantain. Everything else was phenomenal, especially the oxtail. I will be back, just not for the plantains. Probably the rice and cabbage only.

Finally had the chance to come check this place out tonight we arrived at about 5:45 PM and we’re seated promptly. The atmosphere was relaxing and and inviting music playing in the background. Everything gave off a welcoming and chill vibe. We started off with a patty and some fritters everything was seasoned with a great balance not too salty not over seasoned not underseasoned. The patties had a great flaky crust the fritters were fried to perfection not oily. We were a party...

The food was delicious and well proportioned. The large oxtail meal has enough to eat off of at least twice. Oxtail was tender, everything well seasoned. The young man that took my order was polite. The place looked clean but there was a strange odor like a garbage disposal. I didn't get the sense that something was dirty, more like a plumbing issue. I plan to go back.
