| - Although I am of West Indian Heritage, I tend not to be the biggest fan of West Indian Restaurants. As a small business owner myself, I definitely like to support other small businesses so on Saturday night, my sister and I decided to try this place out.
Thank goodness we did! Where to start ...
FOOD
Absolutely delicious, great presentation, good mix of flavours that blend together perfectly. I would call it West Indian/Caribbean fusion. I had the Thai Beef Salad which would be perfect if they dropped the Thai descriptor (as one who loves Thai food and flavours I can say there wasn't much that was Thai about this salad but I didn't care it was so great!) My sister had the jerk chicken salad ... perfection!
Great portion sizes and good pricing.
We had the salad because our server/hostess suggested that we leave room for dessert. Drum roll please. So glad we listened ...Dessert was like heaven in your mouth. The funnel cake (yes, I said funnel cake ...really why don't more places have this on the menu) was made to order ... I really didn't care how many calories I was consuming at that moment, it was worth the extra dress size. The same could be said of the brownie with cheese cake in the middle, I mean really brownies and cheesecake, you had me from the get go (just so you don't think I'm a pig, I didn't have both desserts .. my sister had the brownie, I just snuck a taste).
Next time, I'm going in super hungry so I can have an entree and dessert!
SERVICE/ATMOSPHERE
As I sat down, I felt as though I was in someone's home. I was seated by a super friendly server who made sure that I was comfortable in her place. As I sat down, a pitcher of water with lemon appeared on my table before I could even ask. The seating was comfortable, the decor was cozy and tasteful and the music was lively but just at the right level. Loud enough for you to enjoy, not so loud that you have to yell at your dinner companion. Kim is the most attentive server without being overbearing. At the end of our meal she invited us to stay as long as we wished, which we did because the atmosphere was so great. If we didn't have things to do that night, I'm sure they would have had to kick us out.
This is a place that you should not miss, get in here quick before you have to line up for a seat!
