We noticed it on our way back from dinner last night and decided to have a meal here tonight. We enjoyed Jamaican 'tapas' by choosing four small dishes to share, along with some beers. Every dish was delicious, with the mussels standing out as especially good. The staff was efficient, friendly, and attentive. I would highly recommend dining here.

We were pleasantly surprised by the delicious dishes we tried - the Whitebait, Sliders, and Jerk Chicken were all fantastic and simply divine. It was our first time trying Caribbean cuisine and it certainly exceeded our expectations. We also indulged in Red Stripe Beers and a lovely sparkling wine. To top off the night, we savored some banana doughnuts with rum cream, which was a delightful dessert. The staff were friendly and we had a pleasant conversation with the bartender and waitress (apologies for not remembering your names). Overall, it was a delightful experience at a wonderful bar, although it's unfortunate to hear that it may be closing due to lack of business. Such a shame.

Friendly staff, and tasty food. Fast service. Good sized portions. Nice ambience, clean, easy to find. read more Friendly staff, and tasty food. Fast service. Good sized portions. Nice ambience, clean, easy to find.

You can sit at the bar and chat to the chefs as they cook or have your own table. Definitely recommend the jerk chicken! First time with Jamaican cuisine and can't wait to go back!
