   Dinner with the family and The Grotto BK did not disappoint! We started with drinks and then the ackee tostones along with the Octail spring rolls were delicious. And then we moved to the main event of dinner which brought on Oxtails with rice and peas with fried plantain, crab stuff shrimp, steam veg and fried plantain and a rather tasty baked Mac and cheese with oxtails..... Yes we love oxtails very much. All in all we loved the entire experience and the service was amazing.

   It was the best birthday dinner. I felt right at home. The taste in every bite was everything I expected and wanted.

   The appetizers came out 20 minutes after the entree’s. Were we almost finished with our entree’s so I cancelled the appetizers. However they were brought out anyway and we were still charged. Perhaps this was a mixup because we had 3 different services. It was like team serving. The oxtails and jerk pork were tough. Needless to say I will not be going back. #foodie

   Decided to come for Brunch since i heard so much soo much good reviews on this restaurant. Upon arrival we were told they are alittle behind but not to bad. So we chose to sit and enjoy our bottomless mimosa and convo. Ordered appetizers to only wait 1 hour and a half for them to tell me there was nomore bake for the ackee and saltfish. Mind you Other Tables that arrived after us got food and appetizer before us and they had a bigger party. They messed up my Boyfriend wings and gave him jerk and he didnt request jerk. I ordered Curry shrimp with rice and peas the shrimp had no flavor it was very bland. They give 4 pieces of shrimp for 25 😩 which was crazy to me. My Boyfriend jerk lamb chops was good. The presentation of the food was just not what ppl talk about and post all over social media platforms. Not sure if ill be returning to give them another chance they left a bad taste in my mouth.

   The music was way too loud to enjoy the food. Reservation at 9pm....seated at the table at 9:40pm. We ordered 5 mn later and the food arrived at 10:30pm. Did I talk about the music?? yes music is important for the ambiance but it was too loud, borderline painful.

   Excellent food, Excellent service. Don't plan on having a conversation during Sunday brunch. You can't hear over the music.

    The best oxtails in town!! Ackee & Saltfish tostones are delicious! Service is mediocre. Ambiance is pleasant with good music but the tables are small. Drinks are ok. Location convenient. This was my 2nd visit snd not my last.
