I thoroughly enjoyed the curry goat at this restaurant. The patties were delicious and the chicken wings were cooked perfectly. We paired the wings with some Walkerswood spicy spice, which reminded us of the Caribbean. My partner ordered the jerk pork and raved about how amazing it was.

I love the atmosphere at this restaurant. It's eclectic and inviting. The drinks are reasonably priced and the cocktails are a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the jerk BBQ meats, salted fish, plantain chips with dip, and the wonderful prawns. My only letdown was that they were out of the signature dish, goat curry, on the Sunday night of a long weekend. Despite that disappointment, I still highly recommend this place and will definitely be going back again.

It was a treat to have a taste of Red Stripe beer again. We didn't try any cocktails, but they looked enticing. The Sound System wall of speakers added a cool vibe, especially with a DJ playing that night, getting many patrons up and dancing. Overall, a great experience with a Caribbean atmosphere.

Even not being from Jamaica, but living in manly for few years, I could always say that this place feels like home, young minded people, great friendly staff and the food is always great, I have on my calendar the reminder to go at least twice a month to have some plantain chips and some red stripes.

We bought a groopon - $50 for $80 for a dinner as we like to taste different countries food.The place is just a little bar with a few tall bar tables and bar stools. We had to ask 2 times to turn the sound of the music down as it was too loud. The wine was the cheapest wine you can have. All the food was over salted and absolutely untasty. You can have food in any cheap food court and pay 4 times less and have 10 times nicer food. The presentation of food and the service were as bad as the food. No wonder why this bar was almost empty. We would never ever recommend this place to anybody. Waste your time and money.
