10/10I went to this restaurant to celebrate my mother and brother’s birthday. The food was absolutely amazing, flavoursome and such a good size. The customer service was wonderful and the waiter was super attentive and excellently communicated with us. I will definitely be back here.

5/10Me and my partner went to your restaurant on Saturday 2nd November. We went there to celebrate his birthday on entering the restaurant. The decor needs to be redone. Tables need to have white tablecloth glasses that was on the table was plastic and was dirty. No flowers on the table no salt no pepper not even a candle. We have been there before for my birthday food was lovely but this time food wasn’t up to standards. Oxtail was too black had the browning taste, not good. Coleslaw wasn’t nice at all and the rice and peas was not cooked properly. The whole place needs to be decorated quality decor tables are too small toilet terrible need to pay attention managers please quality quality quality do not drop your standards. Please please decorate the place. Make it a little bit more classy for the money that customers have to pay your not a cafe. Also, the staff have their uniform, but they should be wearing half aprons for a little bit more class. Please hear what say. Thank you

10/10Decided to have an after work link with friend and decided we would have cocktails too. Made a good choice 👌 all on par, and especially sweeter with Fork discount. 😊

8.5/10The staff are polite patient and amenable. The food was good and the atmosphere satisfactory. The toilets were poor and let the venue down. I will visit again but would encourage the management team to pay more attention to the facilities. Sonia

10/10Delicious cocktails (made better by a 6-9pm 2-4-1 happy hour) accompanied some perfectly cooked, outstanding authentic Caribbean cuisine. The staff were very helpful and friendly and there was some lovely Zumba dancing happening that evening which inspired a little impromptu dancing of our own. A very fun night indeed. 😊

6/10Service was good. The price didn't match what was on the online menu. The Jerk Chicken, rice and peas jumped from £13 to £19.99 for a small thigh, drumstick and dried out, clumpy rice. In a barbecue sauce. So disappointing, I have had jerk in 4 Caribbean islands, as well as making it from scratch with my family. This was not jerk. Dried out strip of chicken in my daughter's burger, plus crunchy (?) dumplings. Flat Diet Coke. Not an experience I would like to replicate. Gave it a try. Thanks to The Fork, I didn't have to pay full price.

Thank you for your feedback sorry that the current price of Jerk Chicken did not meet your expectations as raw material costs have sky rocketed - nonetheless feedback will be taken on board

8/10drinks were great, food was ok, had the prawns in shell, the sauce was lovely but could do with a bit if seasoning as the prawns weren't seasoned enough. also my tilapia seemed burnt and rubbery

5.5/10The staff were really friendly. Not quite sure why they wore black plastic gloves though. The menu prices were different to the prices displayed on the app and were increased by quite a bit from £2 to £5 per dish which was quite a surprise. We ordered the chicken wing platter which has increased in price to £50. This item came with a few side dishes one of which was fried dumplings but the chef forgot to send those!! When I enquired about the price increase I was reminded that I was getting 50% off all food so I should be okay!! Not quite the response I expected. We also ordered the king prawns in a spicy garlic sauce they arrived in a bowl looking more like bowl of soup. Our cocktail order was given to the adjoining table by the young waitress who clearly wasn’t on point at all. The restaurant itself is in serious need of redecoration with deeply scuffed walls and tired chipped paintwork. The food wasn’t bad but didn’t reflect the quality either in taste or presentation.

9.5/10Went here with my husband to celebrate my last day at a job . We were seated at the back of the restaurant as a Salasa Class was taking place ; we really enjoyed watching everyone enjoying themselves . The food was delicious and the waiters were so friendly and made us both feel very welcome . The place is really casual and makes you feel very chilled . The cocktails also were great !

9/10This place is a hidden gem in plain sight. The curry goat, shell-on prawns, ackee & salt fish and callaloo are consistently excellent🤌🏿 The cocktails are very strong too - definitely worth the happy hour and if there’s a Fork discount, it makes the food even sweeter!

6/10The was the second time eating at Escape restaurant and this time was disappointing, both our starter and main course came out at the same time resulting our mains was cold when we got around to eating it. Hopefully our comments will be taken into consideration as I am sure others will agree with me in this instance. All in all we had a pleasant time and would go back again.

10/10It’s a hidden gem, the food is always a 9/10 (I never give a 10/10 to anywhere as I’m a harsh critic). I’ve been coming here for a while and the food is consistently good, it’s because of this place that I now eat Ackee and salt fish - the flavours are unmatched! Good cocktails and friendly service.
