  • I wanted to like this place. So many reviews about how authentic and great the Jamaican food is and the vibe of the restaurant. First, the restaurant itself, decor is nice. The music is good, all and all a nice place, but that's about it. I would probably only come back for drinks and hang out and not the food sadly. We ordered a lot of things off the menu. Starters: fried salt fish cakes, pepper shrimp and the beef patties. The patties tasted just alright, some where completely bland the taste of the pastry itself was just ok. It wasn't flaky like you expect patties to be with a warm filling. The overall was a soggy/soft middle and flaky sides and just bland filling. Everyone who likes patties knows what's good and trust me if you think these are good you really need to go to Eglinton West and hit up some of the Jamaican spots and try good patties. The salt fish cakes. First you need to soak the salt fish properly so it's not too salty. Second why are they burnt to a crisp? The end result was a burnt, crispy outside layer and a soggy filling with a overly salty taste and no real flavour at all. The pepper shrimp. I know some people leave the shell on and cook but in this case it should have been removed. It was basically cooked in a tomato, mildly spicy sauce. And just bland. Tasted more creole, Louisiana shrimp then Jamaican/West Indian pepper shrimp. So for apps: 0 For the main we ordered the half jerk chicken and the jerk pork. Side: rice and peas, and fried plantains. The chicken had a good flavour and was actually the only thing I was somewhat impressed by. Good flavour, a little dry but at least it tasted good. The jerk pork was cooked well, but that's about it, the flavour was non-existent, and bland. The sides were ok. Rice and peas, ok. The fried plantain was horrible. Good plantain has good flavour and if fried correctly is not dry as hell inside, and sadly this was. Entrees: 1 good thing, jerk chicken. All in all for the owner to say this is the first real Jamaican place in Toronto. First you should maybe get outside the city and try real Jamaican places that will not only give you amazing food you don't have to pay double the price for someone interpreting Jamaican food and that's what this place is doing. A sad interpretation of Jamaican cuisine.
