From the OpenTable editors: It’s always island time at this laid-back Jamaican restaurant, which draws regulars for sensational jerk chicken and oxtail stew, best paired with a hibiscus mojito or two. There’s a popular back patio for the warmer months, but the tropical vacation vibes are just as strong indoors thanks to a lush, plant-lined dining room.

While the one was waiting for all of 10 minutes, she was told there was a 90 minute dining window. We sat there for 3+ hrs. It was a Tuesday and not very busy. That limitation was unwarranted. When the waiter finally came to take the order, we had been sitting there for nearly half an hour. After the food was served (somewhat promptly) it took upward of 15 minutes for him to clear our plates. For the food, the jerk chicken was overly spicy.
