Description

**Restaurant Review: A Mixed Bag of Experiences**

At this cozy corner bistro, diners have reported a blend of experiences. While some rave about the tender oxtails and perfectly seasoned cabbage, others express dissatisfaction, citing bland flavors and inconsistent quality. The atmosphere is praised for its charm, and many appreciate the friendly staff and fresh, hot meals. However, issues like excessive BBQ sauce and changing prices have been raised. Overall, this restaurant showcases the vibrant flavors of Jamaican cuisine, but guests may need to temper their expectations regarding consistency. With a little refinement, it could truly shine as a local favorite.

The wait time is absurd, especially when I've ordered in advance!

I do not know how this place have such high reviews but it's a BIG no. I used UberEats. I ordered oxtails with rice and peas, cabbage, and Mac and cheese. The oxtail taste like they were boiled in water with little season. No gravy at all just seasoned water with a back taste of vinegar. The worst. The Mac and Cheese tasted like wax. The cabbage tasted the best. I payed over $40 bucks including the price of food, UberEats, and a tip to the driver, just to be completely unsatisfied. I threw the food away.
