The curried goat was excellent. Their rice and peas was moist and flavorful. The steamed vegetables were not over broiled, veg maintained crunch and has flavor. The restaurant's service staff worked tirelessly to ensure that I was satisfied and even offered, then gave, me a side serving of avocado; gratis! I highly recommend their food and intend on giving them another visit very soon.

So happy we tried this new spot. The food was delicious. Service was prompt, we came On a Thursday right when they opened. We had the curried shrimp, the oxtail and margaritas. The margaritas were delicious. Our server was also very courteous. Looking forward to trying more dishes here.

The service and the food was amazing! I highly recommend any time you're in the area stop by. The owners make sure that they are on site meeting and greeting each client. The best Jamaican food and reggae band for entertainment. I can't wait to go back!

Delicious food the ambiance was great and the service was remarkable. The steam fish with steam bammy was superb. The fried shrimp with rahtid sauce was amazing . Another amazing dinner 10.25.24. The escovitch snapper and brown stew snapper were delicious. The live band is so soothing to hear Lee and the band belt out beautiful Another Great Dinner 7.6.25 1 meal we had was Escovitch snapper with bammy and 2nd meal Blackened Salmon with rice and peas and steam veggie. The only thing wish there was gravy. The salmon had a great crust and nuff flavor. Definitely get the pepper on the side.
