So I decided to go here after seeing that it was a new place that opened up around the area. Based on the success of most of the west-indie places around the area I thought that it couldn't be bad at all right?
When you go inside, you're not really sure what the deal is. It's half cafe, half bar. On one end you have a cafe with cakes and cafe tables; on the other end you have a stage for a band and a pool table. Weird.
Oh, did I mention that the place is also filthy? I'm not really a big stickler for a really clean restaurant or sparkling floors but a pair of spring rolls and some napkins underneath my feat is going a bit far. Maybe that was the appetizer?
To give it to them, a 5.99 daily special is pretty enticing, that's what I ordered. It was a plate of jerk chicken with coleslaw and rice & peas. It also came with a soft drink of your choice. It was a pretty good deal in my mind.
The chicken was dry and not really flavourful... I'd almost put it on par with chicken from metro that had been sitting out for a while. That's about what it tasted like. Same thing with the rice and peas. Not exactly the best thing in the world; in fact, far from it.
Being in a plaza with pretty strong contenders, this place isn't going to win anyone over at this rate. If you want to have some jamaican food, drive 2 minutes down the block and you'll get something way better.
