Food presentation was very nice. For a seafood restaurant, I think we were expecting more seafood options. Server was very nice. Drinks took a while to get each time we ordered.

All five of our entrees were ample, flavorful portions. The goat curry was excellent as was the fried snapper. The sweet plantains as a side were worthy of a return just to have those again. Prompt service and plenty of parking nearby. We look forward to soon returning!
