   Our waitress was so sweet and attentive. Nia made our anniversary dinner very special. The food was really good. I would definitely go back again. Food was fresh authentic and came out quickly.

   Horrible experience here during Valentine’s Day. I was seated 30 minutes late. For my wait, I was offered no type of consolation or offered anything to make up for the time. After being seated I ordered drinks and food immediately. I waited over an hour for drinks. They never brought my food and tried to charge me for it on final bill. All they offered was to take the food off the bill. The food others received looked good but I was robbed of a proper experience.

   The location is perfect and the vibe was very nice. However, the food situation was odd we ordered; wings, chicken patties, and oysters as the starter and the pasta salmon as entree. The female came back and told us that they were out of oysters and this was about 7:30 - 8:00. I was shocked to hear that they were out on a Valentine's Day night and the restaurant wasn't the pack when we arrived. So my partner decided to order an oxtail entree in replacement of the oyster. The crazy part is that we got the oxtail entree before the starter of the (6) wings and (2) chicken patties. Also, it seems like the female was alone because she overseeing multiple tables on both sides of the restaurant. I would like to go back and support the small black restaurant but I may go during happy hour to try the vibe again. I would rate the food 3 on a scale of 1-5.

   I was hesitant to give Bammy’s a second chance, but I was pleasantly surprised and had a terrific time! There is new ownership and the customer experience and service was exponentially better and more authentic than my first experience a few years ago. All the food hit the spot (we had curry goat & oxtail; the dessert, a toffee cake with cinnamon ice cream, was memorable). Both the alcoholic & non-alcoholic drinks made with Sorrel were so good and not too sweet. Our server Brittany was thoughtful and incredibly personable. I’m looking forward to coming back and trying more dishes!

   We were greeted by a vaping host. Clouding the doorway which was the only entrance. So all we could smell and taste was his vape. Service was extremely slack. To the point that we ordered wine and they forgot. The kitchen seemed to be doing well. The food was good and tasty. Will have to be desperate to go back here.

   Terrific food with a bit of a kick. Everything was delicious: jerk chicken, rice and beans, beef turnover (empanadas?). Service was horrifically slow—only a problem because we had a show to get to.

    My favorite Caribbean restaurant! Had a delicious virgin mojito and jerk wings with an order of breakfast bread to start; then onto oxtails with rice and sautéed cabbage. It was all so good! Our server, Dre, was so friendly and accommodating which made for a delightful evening all around. Will definitely be going back!
