| - I made reservations for here to have dinner with a friend before a concert. I've been wanting to go here for some time so was excited. It wasn't too busy when we went in for 10pm and were seated right away. It's very small & super loud. A good place to go may be with a group, but my friend and I had to lean across the table and yell in order to hear everyone. It didn't help that there was a super loud talker across from us who literally screamed every word the entire time we were there.
We ordered what we thought would be shareable food. So went with the cheesy jerk potatoes, jerk chicken chow mein & the trini green prawns. The prawns were the best part of the meal! I wish there were more on the plate. It had some wicked salad type stuff with it too. No clue what it was, but the combo of it with the prawns was dope. The jerk potatoes were good too, but too salty. Despite it being a pretty dark atmosphere, you could see all the sea salt on these & taste it even more. The cheese part to it is a bowl of fondue. It wasn't smooth and melty like fondue so it ended up being dropped in lumps on to the potatoes. It would be nice if there was a way to keep it warmer, as they leave it at the table but it's kinda useless after a few seconds. The jerk chicken chow mein came out & looked amazing. But the taste just wasn't for me, or my friend. To us it had a bitter burnt taste to it. Which is ok cause not everyone is going to love everything. So at no point am I saying it's not good. It just wasn't for us. The server noticed how much was left and asked, so we told her it just wasn't our thing. We ordered the French toast, which they comped us since we didn't care for the chow mein. That was cool, cause they really didn't have too. The server also said that the chef tried our chow mein & said it was fine. We found it weird that he ate food we ate from, but ok lol whatever works.
I'd go again, Maybe with more people. There's way more on the menu I'd like to try. Price was decent so no complaints about that. Overall, a cute place & would recommend it to anyone that enjoys good food.
