| - What we had: jerk chicken poutine, ox tail dinner, tiramisu cake
Taste: 9/10
The food here is flavourful and if that's not enough they provide a hot sauce with a great kick. I was a little worried that the jerk chicken would be dry, but it was not dry at all! The poutine was solid and I particularly enjoyed it with their hot sauce.
Steven had the oxtail dinner, which was good in terms of flavour but the oxtails seemed to be overcooked. Some of the oxtails were hard to chew and a little dry on the inside. The rice was really good with the hot sauce. Did I mention their hot sauce is delicious? Haven't had hot sauce like that in any other restaurant.
Tiramisu cake was good but didn't actually have any coffee flavour so it was really just... a slice of cake. Didn't seem to be made in house. The funnel cake that everyone is raving about in the other reviews wasn't available when we went. Wanted to try that out.
They serve water with cucumber in it so it tastes refreshing.
Value: 7.5/10
I forgot the prices of the individual items, but I do remember the total price.
**Average cost per diner: $20 after tax and tip
Service/Convenience: 8/10
This place has a sign facing the street, but you would have to go down a flight of stairs to enter the restaurant. The inside of the restaurant was not very spacey and tables are packed closely together. We were lucky that we went in the time that we did, because we took the last non-reserved table. This place gets packed FAST.
When we entered, we were felt a little misplaced as the server at the counter did not try to engage us. It felt like we had to make some effort to get her attention at first. Once we did get her attention, she seated us quickly and took our orders quickly. As she was taking our orders, she seemed to be very distracted by something.
Our food came after a long wait that day. The owner later explained that it was due to their delivery person being late and throwing a tantrum when he was confronted about his tardiness, so I won't hold that against the restaurant. That was why the owner and likely the server were so stressed.
The owner was nice and she even gave us an extra slice of tiramisu cake on the house as an apology for the wait. :)
Would go back? Maybe, this restaurant is fairly out of the way for us but we might come back when we're craving solid Caribbean food.
Would recommend to friend? Yes, if they enjoy Caribbean food.
Similar places: None that we know of.
**Disclaimer: Average cost per diner constitutes the amount (per person) we eat to get full without drinks. Total cost is usually divided between 2 diners, one of whom can regularly eat 7 slices of XL pizza
