| - I came here on a Saturday evening with a large party of approximately 20 people. They will not seat you until at least half of your party is present. So basically you are standing around near the entrance/bar area until this happens.
As mentioned in numerous reviews, the service is very slow. The staff clearly could not handle multiple tables/groups. We spent alot of time trying to get our wait staff's attention.
On to the food:
Jerk Chicken Nachos - $16 (score: 0/5)
These nachos were a joke. Sadly, there were three orders across the table. I could make better nachos at home with my eyes closed. Where were the plantain and cassava chips as stated in the menu description? It was all tostitos. Why were there peices of lettuce scattered as garnish. Haha. These were the type of nachos were there wasn't enough cheese, or toppings, layered throughout the entire platter. Once you get through the top layer you basically have naked tostitoe chips. There was hardly any jerk chicken in it as well.
Spring rolls (Ackee and Salted cod) - $16 (score 4/5)
These were really good, however it was only 3 spring rolls cut in half diagonally. Not enough spring rolls for the price.
Wings (Dry Cajun rub) - $14 (score 3/5)
Nothing special. Can't go wrong with wings.
One member of our party mentioned that the Jerk Chicken Coconut Linguini was really good.
Around 10:30pm, they will start to rearrange the tables, to open up the floor. The DJ will start to setup his station, and this place will shortly turn into a club/lounge. Coat check is $3, and I'm pretty sure there is a cover charge (not sure of the fee, since we were already there for diner) The vibe is old/new reggae, R'n'B, etc.
I was really disappointed with the extremely slow service, and the nachos. The main entrees are all overpriced. I would prefer to eat at the local jerk chicken / carribean spot, rather then come here.
I would come back hear not for the food, but later on in the evening for the club.
