I live in eastern Putnam county and am always looking for central meeting places to have dinner with friends who live closer to the Hudson River. By chance I happened to stumble across this gem and am so glad I did. Very unassuming but, as soon as you walk in, the vibe is warm and the staff is incredibly friendly. It was quiet for a Thursday night, but the atmosphere still felt cozy enough to catch up with an old friend.

The menu is reasonably priced and the food is fresh. I had a margarita, beef patty to start and the pernil with rice and beans. The plates were rich, filling and full of flavor. The drink was well mixed and if I didn't have to drive, I would probably have a couple more rounds!

Ingrid was super friendly and attentive while also minding our space and giving my friend and I time to enjoy our company and the meal. Overall, I'm very pleased with my experience and I look forward to returning with more people next time.

We finally made it here tonight for dinner and we are so happy that we did. We love Caribbean food so we had to come visit.

The space is on the smaller side, not a lot of tables. Loved the decor. They have decent size bar which was nice. We were greeted and seated right away.

Started with rum punches , freshly prepared and my god were they good.

For apps we had with the jerk dry rub wings. So tasty!! I am a bit of a wing snob and these were good. Would def recommend blue cheese vs ranch as dipping sauce but that's just me

For dinner we had the jerk chicken and pernil. Love that they have different rice options, white, rice with peas and Moro. Jerk chicken was flavorful. Spicy! Pernil was good. Tender. I enjoyed it.

To finish it off we had the in-house Dominican tres leches cake. Amazing so so good.

We did also order a beef pattyto try but had to bring that home, was so full! Can't wait to try it tho.

Would highly recommend going. They also offered happy hour specials which was great. Vibes were definitely Caribbean and we were loving it.

I was waiting for my car to be serviced and was told the food was good here. That information was correct.

I got to talk with the co-owner and her husband is the chef. We had a great conversation and she assured me that the Mac and cheese is of the “snooty” quality I’m used to. They use 3 cheeses! And it along with the pernil was great!!

I’ll be back again the go thru the rest of the menu and support this hidden gem!

A secret gem! Id you live on the area or you need to stop for gas, do co sodee giving youeself tome foe lunch or dinner.We fell upon this restaurant am
And loved every dish we got. The pastelitos (empanadas )and tostonos were some of rhe best, we’ve ever had. Also the sauce over the pastelitos and hanger steak was in an extremely fresh ssuce with garlic, cilantro and parsley.

We arrived extremely late on a Friday evening but they were extremely accomodating and did not rush us. There were also alot of tropical drinks and unusual sounding salads which we will need to try next time.

Thank you, this was a great stop on our way upstate!

Great new place, happy hour hours until 9pm with changing daily specials. I got jerk chicken, wife got stewed chicken, both were fantastic. Highly recommend and hope this place sticks around. Thinking it's going to be our regular place to get drinks after work. Reasonably priced and each cocktail we got was sizable and delicious. Don't sleep on the place.
