    I was celebrating my bday, made the reservation and got seated in the window with all the incoming door traffic looking over me while I ate my food. Very crowded and very cramped. My fiancé advised me we wouldn’t be going back!

    Great place to dine for Caribbean style food. If you want to be seated in a reasonable about of time I would suggest dinning early especially on weekends.

    Food was GREAT!!!! Waitress was kind of slow, but it may have been because her tables were a bit spread out. Made mistakes putting in our order because she returned twice to repeat what we ordered and it still was a little wrong. However we have eaten there before and it was better. So maybe our waitress just had a bad day.
