Nami Nori has quickly become me and my husband's go-to Saturday/Sunday brunch spot. There's not a single temaki roll that we've tried so far and not liked or LOVED. Get the Nami Nori salas to start, so delicious! The service is excellent. You're a little close to your neighbors at the tables/bar, but I've never really found that impeded my excellent experience here.

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.
