The establishment is clean and comfortable. We were seated at a table by a young man who brought over menus and took our drink order a short time later. He would return to the host desk at the entrance and seemed to be distracted by an electronic device, phone or a pad. He finally took the food order and brought utensils. The lemonade was delicious! I ordered Jerk chicken with red beans and rice and garlic green beans. The chicken has good flavor but was on the dry side, the rice and beans were nice and the garlic green beans were okay. I think they may have come out of a can. My friends Curry Chicken was very tasty and had nice depth of flavor. The sliced rice had a little heat to it and she had the same garlic green beans. This came to $43 plus a gratuity. Give them a try.

I was really looking forward to this Jamaican/Caribbean food, but this meal was a complete letdown. • Rice and peas: dry, hard, and flavorless — tasted old. • Mac and cheese: this was the biggest disappointment. It came out like mashed potatoes — overcooked noodles, no cheese pull, and tasted like jarred Alfredo sauce. I paid extra for this and it was inedible. • Butternut squash & spinach curry: watery, oily, and unappetizing in both taste and look. The spinach was stringy and the squash mushy. Paid around $20 total ($2 upcharge for rice and peas, $5 extra for mac and cheese) and didn’t even get a drink, plantain, or any patties. Just a small scoop of dry rice, that so-called mac & cheese, and a soupy curry all mixed together in a foam box. Which also spilled over into the bag. As someone who works long shifts in EMS, I grabbed this on the go and couldn’t even finish it. I wanted a refund but had to head back to work. This food was not worth the price — disappointing in flavor, texture, and presentation. I rarely leave reviews, but this was a complete miss. Hopefully they take this feedback seriously and improve the quality and consistency.

The fried plantains and the jerk chicken were phenomenal! Ask about their new in house hot sauce. You will not be disappointed. They were very popular for takeout but I recommend sitting in. Great atmosphere, bright and inviting. Wait staff and the chef were first class! I’ll be back!
