The atmosphere was well lit and cosy. The service was excellent. The bartender made exceptional drinks. My wife had The Rum Punch and I had a Passion Fruit Margarita with shots of Don julio blonco. Chef Teran stole the show with his jerk chicken egg rolls as an appetizer, the entrees were really good as well. I had the Oxtail Linguine and my wife had the stuffed salmon with veggies and rice and peas. I drove from The Bronx to experience this restaurant. It was well worth the drive.
One of the few places that actually have happy hour on a Friday. Place was empty when we got there but more people started coming over time. Rum punch was good (can’t really go wrong with rum punch) and the food was good. Wasn’t too crazy about the sauce for the calamari and I wish they were bigger. Also would have liked the cheese to be more melted on the loaded fries and I didn’t get any jerk chicken flavor on the chicken. The chicken tastes good but it was like regular grilled chicken. Besides that everything was good. Wouldn’t mind returning for happy hour. For three people we had everything pictured plus another order of wings and two drinks each and the bill was $117 (no gratuity).
Super quiet Monday night, we sat at a table, the bar was kind of full. The food and the drinks hit better when it's empty. Faster for my food and drankk to come.
Oxtail Linguini ate down 8/10 .
Jerk Chicken Egg Rolls 7/10
I ordered the Pineapple Jerk Salmon however our waitress said something about not being able to find a pineapple, cancelled that order.
Rum Punches were PUNCHING 10/10, the Wray and nephew is a great rum for this. (Waitress was not stingy)
Overall I enjoyed the food.
I went on a Tuesday evening to celebrate a friend’s birthday, my friends and I definitely enjoyed ourselves. Stephan (hopefully I’m spelling his name correctly) was a great host! From his hospitality, to the drinks, to the customer service he was top tier. I enjoyed the music (Dancehall, Reggae, and Soca) and the food was very good. The restaurant was aesthetically pleasing. I wish there were more people dining to create more of an ambience, but it was a Tuesday night so I do understand. Thanks again to Stephan made the experience worth it for my first visit!
