I ordered my steak "black and blue" and it was a bit over cooked to my liking. Since sending it back stresses out my husband I decided to keep it but was none the less disappointed in part because I had eaten half of it before the server even checked on us. Had he checked on us sooner I would have likely sent it back. I am always surprised when steak houses can't get steak doneness perfected.

Great food, we ordered the jerk chicken, the meat just fell off the bone and the chicken kababs which were also flavorful with great portions. Good cocktails and the service was nice and quick.
