| - Came here after a show at Sneaky Dees, was very pleasantly surprised. Fantastic rum collection and the service was friendly and efficient. The place was packed for 9:30pm and the bf and I were worried we wouldn't be able to get a a seat for half an hour at least, but the hostess greeted us right away and informed us there's a table paying their check so the table will be ready shortly. I ordered the pins colada (reminded me of Cuba) and the bf got a Frangelic, a fruity rum shaved ice drink served in a copper cup; I wasn't a fan of the spicy herbal notes in the drink, but the bf enjoyed it. We also ordered the banana fritters and the Accra fritters. YOU MUST ORDER THE ACCRA! It was phenomenally delicious, the perfect balance between the crispy exterior and a flavourful, creamy centre. Paired with the dipping sauce and bites of the jalapeƱo cole slaw (if only they sell it by the bucket...) they were heavenly! The banana fritters were a bit on the saltier side and doesn't have much flavour on it's own, would be better ordered as an accompaniment to a saucy dish. The crowning glory of our evening was the Zombie; this drink arrived pink, frosty, atop with blue flames. It's sweet, fruity, and you can taste how heavily fortified with alcohol it is. With all the layers of flavour, I didn't mind the cinnamon note in the drink. This drink hits you hard after 15 mins or so; guess that's why it's called the Zombie. Definitely worth checking out, I'll be back to try the entrees; I've got my eyes on the oxtail and the fried fish for two.
