  • Short story. Went for a groupon of 1 appetizer, 2 entrees, and a dessert. We went for a 6pm reservation on a Friday. Had friendly and and helpful service that checked in on us occasionally in between courses. Food arrived at a decent pace though it could have been quicker but nothing to complain about. Food was amazing. Everything was cooked perfectly and the jerk taste had a great kick without overwhelming you with spice or completely taking over the taste. No complaints at all on any of the food. Good rum selection of all kinds. Tried 2 cocktails which were good and expected. Atmosphere is ok at this time but we were not there for music or anything like that so it was ok that there basic restaurant background noises. Details. Even though I live in Toronto I pass by Ajax every few months and saw a groupon for this caribbean dinner for two. The restaurant and menu looked interesting enough so we decided to try it. For $55 regular groupon price you get to choose 1 app, 2 entrees, and a dessert from this menu. Appetizers: jerk chicken, calamari, and banana rum mussels Entrees: chicken and waffles, jerk chicken linguine, veggie rundown, and jerk pork Desserts: rum brûlée and golden rum cake They also have an extensive rum selection including various cocktails made with rum and a small separate seasonal cocktails selection to choose from. Finding the place in Ajax wasn't hard and they have plenty of parking. At least for the time that we arrived for. We've read reviews about the place about how bad service has been to big parties and how slow it could be when they were having their music playing late at night so we chose to come 6pm on Friday. When we arrived there were a few tables that were full but obviously and not gotten into their busy period yet. We got a nice booth table from a very nice and attentive server who answered all of our questions without any disdain or even a hint of a grimace. She took our orders and brought out the drinks first. We ordered Tropical Fruit Spritzer and Pineapple Mai Tai. The tropical Fruit Spritzer tasted more of the guava and the rum and could have used more mango but was exactly what I had wanted to go with the food I was having which worked out great for me. The pineapple Mai Tai my girlfriend ordered tasted like it sounded. It was perfectly sweet and blended all the flavours perfectly and was what you expect when you order a Mai Tai. We chose to get the Spiced calamari as our appetizer. It was covered in a delicious marinade that was kept light and thin enough that it didn't taste overwhelming fried. The jerk mayo that came with it complemented it perfectly and gave it the kick I wanted from jerk mayo. We got the Jerk chicken coconut linguine and the Buttermilk chicken and waffles for our entrees. The linguine was heavenly. The sauce coated the linguine perfectly and hit you initially with a sweet creamy coconut feeling that melts you and then nails you with tangy kick from the jerk seasoning that just brings you back to the sweet creamyness that takes you in circles of deliciousness. I am speaking as someone who doesn't even like coconut that I was still a huge fan of this dish and kept stealing bites from my girlfriends. I got the chicken and waffles myself and may never be able to eat the dish so easily ever again. These were the lightest waffles I have ever had. Even though the waffle that came was your basic size from a waffle iron already split into quarters I picked up a piece and didn't even think I was holding a piece already. The waffle was light and of course quite crispy on the bite but still contained waffle softness below it. Not the softest I've had but it would be hard to have any more softness while keeping it that light. The waffle itself was a good amount of sweetness and went really well with the maple syrup which they had also jerked. The jerk taste in the syrup was not as strong as it had been in all the previous dishes mentioned and could be missed if you've been eating those dishes immediately before eating the syrup but went very well with the waffles and chicken themselves. The chicken was so moist and tender and also fried light so that I could taste jerk chicken and did not taste oil and grease any more than if the chicken had been baked. Even after tasking that heavenly linguine I don't regret choosing to eat the chicken and waffles except that I may regret not being able to eat this dish anywhere else without disappointment. We chose the rum cake for our dessert. The cake was strongly flavoured and matched very well with the ice cream which I assume was vanilla but I think was some variation of vanilla like french vanilla but not quite that. They worked very well together and the cake went down great despite being full from all the food. The cake was moist and on it's own was good if a touch heavy but went down real easily combined with the ice cream. Definitely coming back here.
