We dined early on a Sunday evening and looked like one of the first guests. As we were looking at our menus a large noisy and rude party was sat right behind us, bumping into the chairs. We moved, and then the waitress moved us to another room. The same thing happened as we were finishing our dinner. We had... More

Fun happy hour from 5 to 6:30-- $4 draft beers and $4 well drinks... But their cocktails (which are about $10 on average, whether you're there for happy hour or not!) are really the sweet spot here. The award-winning sorreling bird is really delicious, especially if you like playing the dangerous game known as tequila. I had the bahama mama... More

We met friends here for lunch. We shared the Chef Sampler as an appetizer. Everything in the sampler was tasty. Each couple shared one of the Combo lunches. There was plenty of food to do so. The Jerk chicken and salmon were quite good. I found the goat dish to be delicious but it was difficult to get much meat... More

My daughter and I were looking for something different for lunch - and that we found in this hidden gem of a Caribbean restuarant. Loved the flavour of their jerk chicken. For dessert we thoroughly savoured their home made key lime pie. Only thing was the Caribbean coffee with rum was too strong for me! Looking forward to sampling more... More

Any place that has Rum Punch on their menu with a floater, without even asking, is alright by me! I loved the drink, the music, the photos on the wall, and decor. We sat outside, which kind of looked like an alley, with tire planters, and an electric palm tree. The pork bites were spicy but not too hot. The... More

This was our first time trying Carribbean food. The atmosphere was a bit boisterous with loud Carribean music and the place was packed. We did not have reservations but there was room for us at the bar so we were happy. I had a really good kiwi lemon drop, it was delicious! The owner/chef came over and asked us if... More

Started with the Chef's sampler appetizer. Everything was tasty, but I have to say the jerked chicken wings took the show Dinner was the steak with a root vegetable gratin. The steak was cooked as ordered and very tasty, but the surprise was the gratin. Excellent! Stuffed and really too full to eat more, we had to try to the... More
