    Do NOT support this business if you do not want to be scammed. I would give them a zero just for lying if I could. Ordered my food and a Dragon Fruit Margarita, they came out at the exact same time. I started eating my food first, and maybe about 5 minutes later I tried my drink. It oddly tasted like Robitussin. I waited another 10 minutes for my waitress to finally come down and let her know about the drink. When she returned, she said the bartender stated we had it too long. When I requested to speak with a manager, I asked two separate employees, no one ever came to the table. By the time I asked for the check, I asked another employee for the manager and let him know about the drink. He said the bartender said we had our drinks for 30 minutes and there was nothing to be done. There was no issue with the policy, just the lack of respect for a customer and the blatant lying. I was trying to support a black owned business but this is not one to support if you’re looking for quality customer service.

    The salmon was cooked to perfection, the wings were tasty and the drink was amazing. It was too loud to talk though.

    It’s always great to Caribbean(Jamaican) restaurant in the community. People from Jamaica, and other islands alike, are always excited to support our Caribbean brothers and sisters. When we visit these restaurants, we want to feel like home. Having basic essentials, such as, the local ginger beer, and other tropical drinks, gives a homely feeling. We tried calling prior to our arrival (7 times) and were unsuccessful because they have an automated phone system. I sent 2 messages to the restaurant via Open Table messaging (no response). The $25 per person to reserve is ridiculous and added 18% to each bill. Customer service is important to me and this restaurant has not proven to value their guests. This was my second time visiting and my last. The tables were too small to enjoy your meal and we ordered fish, it would have been nice to have an extra plate for the fish bones. The food was not bad, a little salty. M friend enjoyed the fesitvals.

    Nice restaurant, my second time here . First time I sat at the bar. This time I made a reservations, they were nice enough to accommodate my tardiness! Tasty drinks, nice happy hour price’s .. the food is t bad… not many options on the menu. thought we were going to be able to do karaoke … but it seemed reserved to a party at the time . Also they have early closing hour’s . But overall a nice friendly environment .
