This review is a little late, but I visited over the July 4th weekend and had a great experience…read more Even with a reservation, we waited briefly while the restaurant seated a party of six. The interior is cozy, with tables fairly close together, but they seemed to turn over quickly, so it was not an issue. The décor gave the restaurant a warm island vibe, and the music fit the atmosphere perfectly. The music was played at a comfortable level, so we did not have to shout across the table to hear one another. Once seated, we were promptly given water and menus. The service was great. Although I no longer remember our waitress's name, she was friendly and very attentive. She checked on us regularly and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed throughout our stay. As someone who grew up eating Jamaican food, I was a little skeptical, but this place far exceeded my expectations. I started with the codfish fritters, which tasted like home, except home does not serve them with such a delicious dipping sauce. I also had the Scandal Rum Punch, which was very good. For my entrée, I ordered the oxtail with rice and peas and vegetables. I was pleased that the oxtail was not overly fatty, and the meat fell right off the bone. I also really enjoyed the rice and peas. My only critique was that the oxtail had a little too much browning, but it did not overpower or negatively affect the flavor. They were also offering happy-hour specials on appetizers and drinks, which was a bonus. My company and I left happy and satisfied with full stomachs. I would definitely return to explore more of the menu.

There were only 2 other parties seated and we were seated immediately upon arrival. It's fairly dark inside and the decor reminds me a bit of New Orleans. I enjoyed the ambiance. The drinks were great! I had the cocobella while he had margaritas. The table bread was hot and fresh, so make sure they bring it to the table for you. We had the mussels for an appetizer, lamb chops and bass. EVERYTHING was excellent! The flavor of the broth for the mussels was Devine, so much so my husband used his bread to sop up all he could. The bass had great flavor and came with sautéed spinach that was well cooked. It initially looked like a small portion but turned out to be plenty. The lamb chops were cooked to the requested temp and seasoned well. We left no crumbs. This one is definitely worth a try!

This is truly an incredible place. It is located on Time Square. I visited three times each time…read more The food is absolutely delicious. The live band is amazing and the service doesn't disappoint. This time I ordered a coconut Mojito, Mango Glazed Salmon, and the Empanada sampler! The coconut Mojito was absolutely delicious and refreshing. The mango glazed salmon was prepared perfectly. It was flaky and tender, with fresh, ripe, sweet mango salsa on top. It was served with your choice of steamed white rice or yellow, rice and beans. The rice and beans were absolutely delicious and seasoned to perfection. Everything arrived at the table hot and fresh. The Shrimp and Chicken Empanadas were tasty! They had a crispy crust with a delicious savory filling! My partner said the chicken was better! Our server, Dahiana, was very pleasant and professional. She greeted us with a smile and was very accommodating. Lastly, was the live music. I must say I love coming to this restaurant mainly because of the live music it never disappoints. You truly feel like you are in a restaurant in Cuba. It is just an amazing
