Palm Tree Caribbean Cafe

I had the vegan oxtail with yams and red beans with rice. I also had a vegan chicken sandwich w cheese and fries. Everything was well seasoned and just tasty. The texture went well with the imitation. They let me try the tomato bisque which was equally flavorful. Thank you for an excellent experience. Food-excellent. Service-well it was good, server was multi tasking, the place is small. Atmosphere- its nice its is not elegant or trashy, it's clean, colorful and upbeat.

I have been to this restaurant multiple times but this is the first time I’ve gotten the Mango-Pinapple Jerk Shrimp. It was good. Cabbage was well cooked and seasoned, yams were good but more like sweet potato casserole “style”. The jerk shrimp was good as well. My complaint, they switched their containers from the last time I visited. Used to be the styrofoam white containers and now they have the smaller black plastic ones. These containers are a bit smaller, not deep at all and the jerk shrimp only comes in one size, which is their large dinner portion. For $25 (after tax), 8 shrimp that doesn’t automatically come with rice so it’s just sitting in sauce and half ladle filled sized sides, is just not cutting it. It “looks” filling but it is not because the containers are thin. I probably will eat here again but probably only to get a lunch special. I get they need to make their money but serving dishes for the same price or more, for less food is not it.

Husband wanted to get Jamaican on his bday so he chose this place. I ordered curry chicken and he got the oxtails. The curry chicken to me was ok the curry was a little thicker than usual making it a little bitter but still it was okay and I love that they add potatoes, a lot of places don't. You also definitely get your moneys worth on the portion. I got a medium and it was more than enough. My husband's oxtails on the other hand were tough. You couldn't break the meat off with a fork, he had to pick them up with his fingers to eat them. You couldn't even stick the fork in them. He did mention it and the lady bought out a very small sample for him to try to see if that was tough but she said it came from the same batch but he didn't try it so since he didn't I don't know what her point was going to be. Anyway I had also bought to pieces of cake, chocolate and the pineapple upside down cake. We tried the chocolate and it was dry, couldn't tell if our eyes were closed if that was chocolate and the middle was runny (like a thin watered down chocolate). So we both tried the other cake I spit it right out into my napkin. It crumbled in my mouth dry and lumpy or spongy idk but it was horrible. I am really upset with myself that I didn't go ahead and bring that to their attention and ask for my money back at least. I just hate confrontations, people were there. I feel like I'm going to look like I'm the problem. I feel like the health department needs to be involved over the cakes. Either they weren't made well from the start or they were left on there too long.
