    I had the jerk chicken pizza. What a great combo of plantains, chicken, cheese and a tasty drizzle.

    We were a party of eight. We arrived early and the house this was able to accommodate us Very diverse menu waitress was able to make some good recommendations. Some highlights… The calamari brussels sprouts appetizers were great ! Salmon was plentiful , cheese, pizza was piping, hot and the sauce was flavorful. Would definitely recommend for a repeat meal with teens, and adults.
