Jerk sauce was out of this world, oxtail was tender and in some really great sauce but fully have to steer people to the jerk chicken. Amazing jerk! The plantains could have been crispier but they had a lot of flavor and balanced the dish...Read More

Warning: Avoid this restaurant. The food is too salty and oily. The oxtails taste like a mix of oil, salt, and ketchup. Small portions, high prices, and poor customer service. Look for another Jamaican restaurant. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
