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.

    The best Jamaican food I have ever had, the jerk chicken wings are enough reason to come back and I typically avoid any meat with bone in it so the Curry Goat was also excellent. The fish dumplings tasted better than any crab cake I’ve ever had on the east coast.

    Wow, thank you for the incredible review, Brock! We can't wait to host you again!

    Amazing vibe and spot - great food, great drinks, great service! The people are so warm and welcoming. Hard to find a place like this in the city where you feel like you’re really getting an experience. The music creates a fun vibe, but not too loud. Decor is super cozy and feels like you’re away! Such a great value

    Service was a bit slow. One from my party arrived on time, followed closely by another. 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.

    Over rated. Wings were tiny , and food was subpar. Dinners corners is way better. Even the festival were extremely tiny. First and last time going. Not for me
