So I made a reservation don’t get the point of that if I come in and they tell me to wait 15-20 minutes to be seated. Lets fast forward to sitting down we wasn’t greeted with water & WAITED 20 MINUTES before the waiter even came to greet us . When she finally arrives and takes our drink and appetizer order in a rush as well. We waited another 20 minuets to get OUR drinks which came after our appetizer which makes no sense . After 30 minutes comes back to get our entree order and that gets brought out to us & WE never saw the waiter we had to GET UP and find the waiter after being done eating for over 30 minutes with NO water no napkins no nothing provided so now we are over it trying to get the bill so we can leave. The food was a 3/5 and honestly all that waiting we had to do wasn’t worth it and that’s just horrible customer service & I for sure will NOT be back. Also will be advising my friends/family to not waste their time on horrible customer service & that’s truly the issue with black businesses a little hype and attention & they forget about the establishment should still flourish with effective customer service .

I was so excited to come here especially since my mom went a couple days before me and she enjoyed it. For starters my boyfriend and I got the burger sliders. They were good, then we didn't know what we want to get so we decided to share the Biggie Sampler Platter. It came with white rice, rice and peas, oxtail, curry goat, jerk chicken, steamed veggies, and plantains. We underestimated the size on the picture because it was huge and definitely enough for two people. The flavors were definitely there!! The platter was very fulling and tasted so good!!!! We also had two drinks each. I had the Barclays and the pash island and my boyfriend had the 673 and the island hype an they didn't disappoint!!! Taste the liquor but it was still delightful to drink. The only downfall was how slow the food came out, but after that and with how good the food was, it didn't matter anymore because thy made the food with loveeeee. We were so full that we didn't get dessert but it's okay because we will definitely be back!! 10/10!!!

Food was delicious, from the appetizers to the entree and drinks were on point. However, they were overbooked and we felt rushed while we were having dinner. We ordered another drink and they brought the bill instead . I didn't like that, but great food.

We ordered oxtail entree and it contained a sizable piece of hard plastic. The manager saw me pull it out explained that it was a piece of the container that is used for measuring a serving. Beware of the hard plastic in the oxtail!

There was no point in reserving. They sat us in the corner and forgot about us for up to 50 minutes before we decided to go to a better restaurant. Very disappointing.
