BBQ jerk wings were amazing. Just the right amount of heat and tang provided by the scotch bonnet remoulade. The Rasta Pasta doesn't miss.

Amazing food! This restaurant has really good vegetarian options. I’m glad I made a reservation since the place is small and it filled up quickly. Highly recommend!

Our group of 4 wanted to enjoy a creative and well prepared meal and catch up on what's been happening since our last reunion. We had eaten lunch previously at Freetown, and enjoyed the food, service and ambiance so we made reservations. To our dismay on arrival there was a party of about q dozen people celebrating loudly. We might have left, but the staff accommodated us by turning down the music, and fortunately, the party ended about 30 minutes after we arrived. We were able to have our conversation and were taken care of beautifully, served great appetizers, entrees of chicken and goat, and finished with dessert of choc cake and bread pudding.

Curried goat and Rasta Pasta were good. Staff was friendly and atmosphere good. Appetizer arrived with entree - would have preferred it sooner. We were there on a Saturday night and it was pretty empty. Maybe they do more takeout or maybe busier on weekdays when more workers are around. Good place to go with friends for a casual meal. BYOB.
