    Everything was really great. For someone only getting to know Jamaican food a spice warning might be helpful to choose between the several great dishes.

    First time here, everything tasted delicious and was fresh. Would definitely go back but not sure if I’d go back without the discount, prices pretty normal for this part of town though

    A refreshing cocktail with a blend of fruit juices and spirits, garnished with lime and mint, served over ice for a tropical flavor.

    Food and atmosphere really enjoyed. However, when we went it took nearly an hour to receive our main course which was unacceptable. We raised and it was explained there was a private party that was causing some challenges with service. That's again not acceptable since they have a function room set aside and would imagine this is an ongoing service provided therefore be aware but I hope this was a one-off / they resolve.

    Had a reservation for 7:00. arrived at 6:55 and there was an offer for two cocktails for 12 pounds when I asked it was exactly at 7 o'clock and the woman says no the offer is over so sad obviously not wanting to give you too much

    Pros: decent vibes and service. Mac and cheese wasn't bad. Chicken was good. Cons: most of the other food was disappointing. Flavour of the jerk wasn't great. Ribs and salmon were a little overcooked. Chilli sauce wasn't spicy at all. Fried foods (fritters, dumplings) didn't seem freshly fried. And the most disappointing was the rice and peas. I've never had drier rice in a restaurant...

    Food was very disappointing this time. The oxtail was hard to chew and the plantain was tough and horrible. The only nice thing was the rice and macaroni cheese.

    A bowl of fluffy rice with caramelized onions, accompanied by golden-brown fritters, sautéed shrimp in a glossy sauce with fresh greens, and fried plantains.
    Caramelized plantain slices and sautéed shrimp with fresh herbs and red chili, served with fluffy rice topped with diced tomatoes and green onions, accompanied by a dark soy-based dipping sauce.
    Grilled fish with crispy skin, garnished with fresh herbs and bell pepper strips, served with fried plantains, seasoned rice topped with red chili, and a savory dipping sauce.

    more vegetarian and pescetarian options in general to all restaurants menus, good flavour to the food, need to add more colour to the plating of food, great value for money with the folk festival offer

    The staff were attentive, however the food was not hot enough. Though we ordered the fish platter for x2 there was no flexibility to change or alter choices to accommodate clients choice. Also limited choices on the tea selection.
