    My friends and I had a reservation at 11:30am. While the restaurant name would insinuate Caribbean food, there was no Caribbean food on the menu. Additionally, we asked to see a lunch menu after seeing only six items on the brunch menu but were told they could not serve lunch that early. The service was atrocious - rude staff from host to waitress, and an excruciating wait for mediocre, overpriced food. This place was a total letdown.

    Came for Valentine’s Day dinner. When I say the food was awful, that is an understatement. The wine was cheap. The soup was bland. The croutons in the soup were hard. The capris salad was unseasoned and the tomatoes not fresh. The sea bass was clearly frozen and the texture was like it had been frozen twice. The cauliflower was hard. The potato cake was not fresh. The desert was dry and did not taste fresh. This was a horrible experience to say the least.

    Really enjoyed the food - can highly recommend the fish tacos. Service was great and the live music was just the right level to enjoy while eating and chatting.

    Beautiful restaurant on the main beach walk. View of the beach and ocean on the patio. Perfect weather in January when we went. Best crab cake of my life. Tuna tartar and jerk chicken were delicious. Service was prompt and courteous. It's attached to a hotel.

    Food was ok (except for the Blackened Mahi Mahi sandwich, served late and cold). Service was horrible. Either understaffed or the staff (besides our waiter) was lazy. Our waiter was trying his best to serve 8 or so tables, but failed. 2 of the 3 meals came out. After 10 minutes the waiter came back and asked if the 3rd had arrived. Obviously it had not. He did comp the meal after I canceled it (he still served it cold). Ordered a second drink that never arrived but made it to the bill. On top of that they add an 18% "service charge". A forced tip. If the service improves it would be fine.
