I made a reservation to avoid waiting outside like I usually see a pretty long line whenever I pass by. The security (which acted more like club bouncers) didnt allow us in. They said its because we still had to wait on one person but turns out they allowed too many walk-ins prior to us coming on time for our reservation. After waiting maybe 20 mins, they let us in and seat us. Another 20 mins later, the waiter finally comes to take our order when he suddenly tells us “oh we take cash only since machines are down. The atm cost $3.” If I hadnt already wasted almost an hour I wouldve walked out; that information couldve been told to us way earlier. I ordered my food (jerk shrimp tacos that they got wrong) but the sides (mac and cheese with greens beans) were pitiful. Mac looked like Kraft and the greens beans looked like they came from the can. Very disappointed when they brought half of our food on plates and the other half in to-go containers. Pretty much All their drinks are $16-$18 but all have heavy fruit grenadine syrup in it so you pay basically for sugar with a table spoon of liquor. Music was decent, really loud for a so called restaurant. They got it set up like Buffalo Wild wings with all them TV screens. Anyways, the Jerk chicken was good 8/10, curry goat was maybe a 6.5/10, callaloo (like Caribbean greens) was 10/10, tacos were 7/10. I wouldnt dine in here due to the inadequacies but if they do take out, I could see myself getting that. Portions are just okay for the cost
This place is so good and our waitress Ari was so amazing! We got the pork stake and Red Snapper and both were so flavorful! Definitely stop by
UPDATE: they never answer the phone but take forever to make the food soooo not have a reliable phone service for orders and or questions?? The food good as always It’s the attitudes for me. The bartender had an attitude (or gave off the non friendly energy) as if she knew me Personally and I did something to her. Like don’t seem uninterested to do your job …. Especially if you taking orders. I’ll always do pick up to avoid the energy in here .
It was a nice experience. Quick bite to eat after work. Seems to be a nice place to meet friends or celebrate a special occasion. The cocktails were tasty.
This place is Terrible, Ordered by phone for pickup and still waited 2 hours for my food. Both times was an extremely long wait with the DRIEST SALTIEST OXTAILS I have ever eaten. The Mac taste leftover from yesterday, and the string beans had no flavor!!! They actually don’t deserve any Stars!!! Taking this food back for the 2nd time!!! This time I want a full refund!!! I would love to speak with the owner!!!
