As usual the food and service was everything I have come to expect from this excellent restaurant. My starter of pork ribs was beautifully prepared succulent tender and full of flavour and my main course of The Roger's Kitchen Signature curry goat a favourite of mine was as I was anticipating fantastic. To finish off I enjoyed the Caribbean fruit cake with rum and raisin ice cream. At the end of our meal, as we were belatedly celebrating birthdays we were offered a complimentary glass which was a lovely touch to a great experience. Roger's Kitchen is precisely where Caribbean cuisine needs to be in the 21st century as a person from this very culture it makes me extremely happy to make this statement once again. Keep up the stellar work.
