    We went out for dinner as couples on this night. A couple of issues with the drinks, but they were remedied. Lots of good food and it tasted really good (jerk wings, jerk calamari, brown stew red snapper)! Warm ambience with good music playing. Plans to revisit another day and time!

    Server was not checking on the table instead she was focus and worried about men at the bar had to try hard over and over to get her attention to order another drink and food. Will never recommend or go back here after my experience tonight. Waited atleast 20mins to get her attention after her flirting with men at the bar for her to come to the table when the tables place was closing zero stars if I can de to service

    Enjoyed it very much. Authentic Caribbean. Our waitress Jody was excellent and very helpful. She said her favorite dish was the curried goat. I tried it and loved it. Top notch as was our other food.

    Great vibe and band. Food took 45 mins but wasn’t an issue for us. Curry chicken was bland and wanted to love it but didn’t. We never had jerk pork with BBQ sauce on it, not traditional jerk pork at all and again , disappointing. Our waitress was barely at our table so service lacked. Would def go back for entertainment and to try couple apps. Drinks were also just ok.

    Good food, good waitress. The only downside is that they were out of the ingredients needed to make two of their drinks listed on the menu. Upside is the rum punch was good and cost only $6!
