The flavor... the experience... the family... wow. After I ate here once I decided to have them cater a huge event for my husband. I showed up and was greeted with graciousness and kindness. They worked to ensure that I ordered exactly what I needed for my event. When we picked up they went out of their way to ensure that we had what we needed in the way we needed it. Everything tasted heavenly and we have recommended them to so many peers! We will be back as often as my waistline allows!!

Seems to be a small operation with one or two cooks in the back along with the lady manning the front desk. Has daily specials which I ordered and for the very fair price you get huge portions of food, I came out feeling full while others might need a to go box. Was rather disappointed that they only had fried yuca that day and not the steamed version but maybe they'll have it in the future, easy to see myself coming back especially since I'm curious about the Cuban sandwich now.

I ordered the jerk chicken, and they served a generous, well-seasoned chicken breast that was incredibly tender and full of flavor. The rice and beans were delicious, the black beans were a great addition, and the plantains were cooked perfectly. The prices are very reasonable, and they also offer a military discount, which makes the value even better. Nice on the inside. Like the decorations. If you're looking for authentic, flavorful Jamaican food with great service and excellent value, I highly recommend Willie & Rum Island Grill!

The space felt authentically Jamaican, which added to the vibe. No oxtails available though, so just be prepared for that. Also, it was my server's first week, so give a little grace and patience with timing. The drinks were amazing. My only observation was that, like many places using fresh garnishes for cocktails, gloves weren't worn during drink prep but hey, maybe the alcohol handled the sanitation duties *shrugs* Overall, it was a really good experience and I'd definitely go back.

They don't have a waitlist though so you just kinda gotta wait and it's first come first serve. We sat at the bar and just snatched a table when we saw someone leave. If you come here you should DEFINITELY get a mojito! They're HUGE and delicious and STRONG. My friends (who don't drink alcohol much) had a couple sips and were gone we had to walk around the square after to sober up! I got the ropa vieja and thought it was delicious! The beef was super flavorful and tender. I was a bit disappointed that they only gave two tiny plantain slices cause it was good and I wanted more. The rice and beans were pretty average, the beans were extremely plain, definitely could've been better. I would definitely come back to try a Cubano though since that's what they're known for and my friend who got one almost melted when she took a bite cause it was so delicious (I took a bite too and it really was very good!). Definitely recommend this place! I will say the service is a bit slow because it was packed but servers were very nice!

Visiting from Miami, the Latin food standard is high and this was perfection. The restaurant has great decor, staff is really friendly, and the menu is super ample and diverse. We ordered the take on ham croquetas and they were so delicious. Melt in your mouth, explosion of flavor delicious. We also ordered their salad which came with a vegan feta and that was so good and fresh. For the entree we shared the cubarrito and it was delicious. Really generous portion. I will say food is a little pricey but worth the flavor and ambiance. Unfortunately we didn't get to try dessert as the kitchen closed but it seemed delicious. Would definitely return to La Semilla when ATL.

I adore sitting on the patio and soaking in the neighborhood's vibrancy. Watching the e-bikes whiz by with kids on the back and teenagers loitering the mini-market gives the whole scene a modern Norman Rockwell feel. The margs are cheap, the food is a great value, and everything always comes out quickly. The service is attentive, too--you'll have multiple people checking in to ensure you're happy. As a regular, I've tried most of the menu. One of the 'secret' standout items is the salmon salad (insider knowledge passed down to me!). The quesadilla is my other go-to, though I do wish they'd finally start cutting the darn thing into triangles! Bottom line: this is a place to just hang and relax. Don't expect anything over-the-top; it's simply a very comforting, reliable neighborhood staple.

We decided to start with the chicken soup, and wow -- what a pleasant surprise. It was warm,…read morecomforting, and packed with flavor in the best way. Honestly, it almost stole the show. I could have happily ordered a full bowl as my main dish and left completely satisfied. For my entrée, I went with the Original Paella. Overall, it was very enjoyable and nicely seasoned. The flavors were there, and it was definitely pleasing to eat. I will say, I was expecting a bit more protein. Everything tasted good, but a slightly more generous portion of protein would have taken it to the next level for me. I'd give the paella an 8/10. We also tried the Enchiladas de Pollo. The flavor was definitely there -- the seasoning and filling were enjoyable -- but the tortillas didn't seem as fresh as I'd hoped. Because of that, the enchiladas lost some of their structure and would fall apart before you could really get a solid bite with your fork. It didn't ruin the dish, but it did take away a bit from the overall experience. The atmosphere was really nice. They offer seating on the first floor (inside and outside), plus a second-floor outdoor option. If you're worried about being cold upstairs, don't be -- they have ceiling heaters, which is a thoughtful touch. We went during lunch, so it wasn't too busy, and it felt relaxed. I can only imagine how charming it must feel at night with the city views -- I'd definitely love to come back in the evening to experience that. The food came out quickly, which is always appreciated, and parking wasn't too bad to find. I could see it being a little more challenging during peak hours, but for us, it worked out well. Overall, I'd give this place a 4.2/5. I'd absolutely return -- especially for that chicken soup -- and I'm excited to explore more of the menu next time.

It was flavorful, well-textured, and paired perfectly with the creamy orange sauce, which was absolutely delicious. I'd honestly come back just for the mofongo and sauce. The tofu, however, was a bit of a letdown. It was crispy on the outside, but much too salty for my taste, which overpowered the rest of the dish. At $20, I'm on the fence about whether it's a great value. It's not cheap, but the quality of the mofongo almost makes up for it. Would I order it again? Absolutely, but mainly for the mofongo. Next time I'd probably ask if the tofu can be made with less salt or try a different protein.
