  • My first time trying Trinidadian cuisine. Came here on a night where they had a live band playing, Chakai Manta... plus!! Not a very big place. It's a long, narrow space with tables and seating on one side, and the bar and kitchen on the other. As the band started playing, people started to fill the place up. It took a while for a server to come our way as she was by herself. Eventually, as the place filled up, the bartender had to step in and take some tables as well. Wait staff was spread thin, but were very friendly. The place was lively. Live Latin American music with many of the patrons dancing in the small space right by the entrance. Onto the food... as I am unfamiliar with Trinidadian cuisine, we asked the server some questions about the menu. I heard their wraps/burritos are very good, but I was starving and wanted something a little fuller. Our server suggested something I didn't see on the menu... Jerk Chicken. She mentioned that it comes with rice and beans, salad and corn on the cob. Sold! Also had their soup of the day, which was a spicy broth with corn... pretty good. My platter, however, left something more to be desired. While the jerk chicken was okay - nicely seasoned and spiced, the rice and beans were hard and dry - as hungry as I was, I didn't finish it, and it's very rare that I don't clean my plate. There was a tiny bit of salad on the plate, which had no dressing on it whatsoever. Also, I thought the whole portion was scant (see photo for proof). I opted for the "dinner", which was the most expensive thing on their menu for $12 thinking that I'd be getting a pretty good portion. Needless to say, I had room for dessert. Asked the server what the dessert options are and she responded with "let me ask". Huh? She came back and said "you want one or two blueberry pies?" I thought it was funny that she just assumed that we wanted it, but we played along and said we'd share one. The pie came in a bowl in a hefty scoop. It looked more like cobbler... and to my surprise, it was actually very, very good! I've read good reviews on the drinks here, but I don't really drink. Tried one dish here so far, and it was okay. On this visit, I think the dessert... along with the band Chakai Manta, is what I'll remember. I'll come back and try their roti and burrito next time.
