Every staff member that you walk by is inviting and greets you will a smile. There wasn't a wait, but also wasn't an event that day. So I'm not sure how it usually is with timing. The etoufee was flavorful and spicy, the blackened salmon was delicious as well. The drinks were a little expensive but were good. I would definitely return.

From our moment of arrival, we were greeted, seated and had excellent service. It was still happy hour, so we had drinks, which were delicious. We had the sweet potato corn muffins for our appetizer. For our main entrees, we had the surf & surf special, which was salmon with a lump crab cake baked on top, four colossal shrimp, broccoli and rice. It was delicious. I loved the decor of the place and the ambiance. I will be back.

I’ve been here twice now. They have a vegan menu so that’s an automatic plus for me. The food is so so good. Everything from the decor to the food to the staff is wonderful. I can’t wait to go back a third time.

Wanted to have brunch before going to art museum. Booked a 1015am reservation. Seated immediately, owner came in and personally greeted us. Phenomenal meal, attentive server, wonderful ambience. Highly recommend and will return ASAP as there are so many more dishes I want to try.

I had a wonder experience there my waiter was a little overwhelmed and very hard to get his attention at times. When my food came out the first time it was cold but when I told the manager he immediately got me a completely new order and this time not only was it hot the portion was way more and the presentation even looked better. I ordered a pre mixed drink that I really could not taste the rum in it at all I believe it was $12.00, but the flavor and presentation was amazing. The seats that are wood are not that comfortable and the wicker seats had me feeling a lil nervous, the waiter quickly switch them out for me. Overall my experience was great and I felt like I was back in Jamaica. The staff was pleasant and the manager was very attentive to the needs of his staff and the customers. This place is very very clean. I will be coming back and bringing my family and friends.

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🥂
