From the OpenTable editors: It’s always island time at this laid-back Jamaican restaurant, which draws regulars for sensational jerk chicken and oxtail stew, best paired with a hibiscus mojito or two. There’s a popular back patio for the warmer months, but the tropical vacation vibes are just as strong indoors thanks to a lush, plant-lined dining room.

    Great place, amazing quality food and our waiter was wonderful. We had a great time, but the overall experience was dampened by the manager when we had just ordered the desserts. The manager walked up and said that our table needs to be cleared in 5 mins because the next booking was there. This was not the customer service experience as the manager should have at least given us a heads up 30 mins or so ahead of time, if there was another party coming in for our table. This behaviour definitely ruined the vibe we all had that evening and just made the entire experience go down hill. A little disappointed on that but overall, food and service by the staff was excellent!!!

    Great dinner with friends. Only a minor issue is that they were a bit slow with service, but our server was amazing. Just seem really busy and it took us a while to get a drink, but I will come back.

    I had the chicken curry, plantain, rice and peas, and patties. Everything was amazing. The rest of my party had the jerk chicken. Everyone enjoyed, but definitely asked for the oxtail gravy. Staff was very friendly and the restaurant was clean! Great experience overall!

    Great little spot. Food was spectacular. Atmosphere was fun and lively but able to converse and enjoy a romantic dinner. We tried a variety of dishes and didn't find any we wouldn't have ordered again.
