    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!

    My wife and I chose this spot for a Saturday night late dinner and a walk up South St. found parking right on 3rd street right up the street. Great atmosphere Outstanding service Drinks were good prices were fair. I had the Oxtails very good. Fine Caribbean Menu. Definitely will visit this spot again.

    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.

    Never really got to sit there and enjoy our food. We constantly felt rushed! Almost as if they were over crowded. They were just looking to flip the tables and get the next set of bodies in a chair! Not very welcoming. As we were pulling out our money to pay, the bus boy is literally huddling over our shoulders waiting for us to move out of his way.
