| - This restaurant was not one I had checked out on Yelp prior to my arrival. I had gotten a haircut earlier in the day and the hair stylist mentioned this new restaurant was next on her list.
Recently I saw a travel show which featured the Jerk Chicken being cooked. So when I saw it on their menu, there was no doubt in my mind where I was dining and what I would dine on.
When I got there, there was a line just out the door. The couple ahead of me was told of a half hour wait for a table, so I told the hostess that I would like it to sit at the bar. Since the downstairs bar was packed, she mentioned another bar upstairs which appeared to slightly bigger.
While waiting for the bartender to take my beverage order, I observed her making an interesting drink and ordered it, the Hibiscus Mojito. It was one of two cocktails I observed being made frequently that evening. The other being the Everything Nice.
I knew before I walked inside that I would get the Jerk Chicken. The bartender told me the half chicken would be appropriate for someone with moderate hunger. When the food arrived, she had provided bottles of mango chutney and papaya chutney in case the food was not appropriately spicy. Since no one on that travel show added any type of chutney on their jerk chicken, I decided not to put any on mine. The chicken had plenty of spices to be flavorful, so I saw no need to make it spicy hot.
Before I ate the chicken, I had a few bites of Chubby's Slaw, the default side. Unfortunately, I was not too excited by its taste. Rather than risk spoiling my appetite, I decided I would eat the cole slaw later. By the time I finished the chicken, I had no desire to eat any more.
None of the dessert choices seemed appealing. So, I asked the bartender to suggest a cocktail. I was amused when she brought out the Everything Nice. I saw the drink being made several times during the night and considered ordering one for myself.
