I really enjoyed my visit to RapChar. The food was excellent. The menu was great and well considered. I noticed that there is also a very good wine list. I did feel rather rushed towards the end of my meal which was a pity.

Booking via open table was quite straightforward. I have taken a couple of points away as there’s no provision to manage one’s booking (e.g. make a change to one’s reservation) after initial booking has been made. Also the seating arrangement is a bit tight as the restaurant is quite cosy. Other than the comments above, the food and cocktail I had was great!!! I had the seafood platter and rum punch. Staff were friendly too. Will definitely come back as I hear the oxtail is really good!!

Very warm welcome upon arrival, attentive throughout. Starter Prawns, chicken wings, scallops and ackee and plantain croquettes. Absolutely delicious Main - jerk chicken-boneless curry goat - seabass. All our meals were spot on and served in a timely manner. Desert - Caribbean mess - sticky plantain cake - rum & raisin ice cream - All very tasty. The food was excellent and beautifully presented. The service was on point and no request was too much. I have been here a number of times and the thing for me is that this restaurants standards are consistent. Definitely would recommend
