Great food and waitress. Cornbread, Jerk salmon bowl, mashed potatoes, and homemade ice cream were great. Salmon and potatoes were large portions. Probably my favorite salmon dish I have had at any restaurant. Chicken just okay. A band started at 6:30. We were sitting at a table near the bar and it was loud enough that we couldn’t talk so if that matters to you, ask for a table near the back of the restaurant.
