Overall a good experience the servers were good and attentive , the wait time on the food was pretty good not very long , the jerk chicken taco was pretty okay wouldn’t try again it’s just very spicy not that much flavor. For entrees we got the brown stew fish which was really was good ,good flavors and decent size , wasn’t a fan of the steamed veg but otherwise good meal we also had curried shrimp it was decent needed a little more curry flavor. But overall good quality shrimp and good flavor. We got a biggie platter to go so we could try more of the food so hears my take on it. The jerk chicken overall is not good it is just spicy no other flavor to it, the oxtail has decent flavor it’s okay it is very tender that is good , the curried goat was okay needs more flavor so probably wouldn’t get any of that again the rice has good flavor overall pretty good experience would go back for the fish at least. Last but not least we got the lava cake, was not what was expected seems to be reheated if anything it was okay also the drinks were pretty good we had the rum punch as recommended by our server. - Miranda Halatsis
