This is one of the few times Yelp has let me down. We love Caribbean food and was excited to try this after reading the good reviews. I would give it zero stars if I could and I rarely feel that way about the restaurants we visit.
We arrived a few minutes before 11am and had to wait outside for it to open. At 11am, the owner opened the doors and let us in. The dining room lights were off and the blinds were closed so she began to open the blinds and turn on the lights. It was very hot in the dining room. We assumed she had been in the back prepping food for opening but we assumed wrong - more about that later.
Another gentlemen walked in the same time as we did and while we were looking for the menu, he said he wanted a to-go order. He asked for a couple items but was told "we don't have" so he finally settled on jerk chicken.
I went up to order while other half went outside to sit at the table on the patio as it was way too hot to be inside. I too was told on several items that "we are out". I was ready to give up but finally settled on the jerk chicken and the chicken curry.
Now after reading the reviews, we were prepared to wait quite awhile for our food and was surprised when it arrived almost immediately.
The first bite I took of my curry - it was crystal clear that it was leftover as it was cold and the sauce was separating. Since I have no idea how long this leftover had been in the fridge, I opted to not eat it. The plantains were delish and the rice/beans were just okay (not much flavor). My other half eat his plantains and rice and beans but was avoiding the jerk chicken so I asked him why. He said he didn't want to get food poisoning as we had a 2 hour drive back home! He did take one bite of the jerk chicken and said it was exactly as he thought it would be - reheated slightly, cold, very greasy and slimy on the outside.
Now we know that the owner was not in the back prepping food as she had just arrived minutes before unlocking the door!
