    Took 20 minutes just to get a glass of water. It was a very rowdy vibe. Do not go if you are looking for a nice classy dinner. A club/dinner scene. Didn’t get a waiter period. We left after the insane wait for a waiter. Wouldn’t recommend.

    Great experience!! We arrived early for our 715 reservation and we were seated immediately. Our only complaint was that our drinks were a bit pricey for the serving size. However, it is downtown Boston. Our appetizers and main course came out hot and so delicious. The Rasta Rasta with salmon was amazing!! Our waitress was very attentive and the manager stopped by our table at the end of the meal to check on us. We will be back.

    Wanted to try a new spot in February. Ended up sitting at the bar as it was a week night and not super busy. Took awhile for us to get any service and throughout our meal we had to fight to get the bartenders attention for more drinks or food orders, even with a nearly empty bar. The food was sadly disappointing, seasoning was no existent on the lamp chops, and frozen broccoli they served. The jerk chicken wings were just smothered in some BBQ sauce and sadly had none of that Caribbean jerk flavor. The menu had such promise but the flavors just weren’t there.

    I ordered blackened swordfish, it was so over spiced I did not taste the fish itself. It was not edible, I had to scrape the layers of spices off in order to eat it. Meals were overpriced for the quality that they offered. We also had a steak and it was a cheap quality steak but for the price of expensive one.
