The food was good and the service was great. Everything was extremely clean and organized. I had Kim as my waitress and she was very attentive and had great customer service. Tyrone was very attentive as well. He was constantly checking on me and other patrons and he was very respectful. Great food and great customer service overall so I will definitely be back!

Had a lovely table in bar area — server was friendly and drinks were great. Calamari was excellent and some dishes (bolognese, shrimp and grits) were lovely. Marsala was ok but not really a traditional presentation so that diner was a bit disappointed.

    Cam in for a solo date and loved every moment of the experience. The fried fish gravy is soo flavorful, the steak skewers are to die for and the mac and cheese is also awesome. Im a huge fan of spicy food so asked for extra pepper sauce on the side and it was BANGING. not just spicy but spicy and flavorful. Had an espresso martini and a couple of kush cocktail which is like a tart strawberry and gin drink. so good !!!

    I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant as a solo diner. I was treated well and the food was incredible. My eyes were bigger than my stomach, and the server very carefully packed up my leftovers so I could enjoy them the next day. In short, I was treated like family and I cannot recommend this place enough!

    The jerk chicken was very good. I had some of my husband bbq ribs and it was delicious but my favorite was the salmon with collard greens and candied yams. Simply delicious. I would recommend this place to anyone. Make a effort to go on Thursday nights for their 'Caribbean Summer thursdays' the DJ is on point and keep the crowd grooving to the best reggae music.
