This is a very cool speakeasy experience in downtown Macon. I highly recommend checking it out…read more They're a tiki themed bar located in a basement. The ambience is very fun and immersive. They specialize in rum based cocktails (and will publicly shame you if you order a vodka drink). Their menu was pretty huge and full of very interesting and fun looking drinks. The Big Willie D in particular was phenomenal and tasted like a coconutty White Russian. They also have a passport where if you try every drink on the menu you get access to their exclusive explorer's club menu. The staff added to the fun atmosphere by periodically making announcements and playing along with the crowd. You can tell that this is a very local, family owned business. A few things to note: -You MUST make a reservation and if you don't show up to that reservation you will have to pay a no-show fee. -You only get one hour in the bar per reservation. They rotate out the entire bar every hour on the hour. It's a fast paced but fun atmosphere. Defined not a sit back and relax type of cocktail lounge.

This is the kind of place I love to find when I'm on vacation…read more We were on a side trip to Macon and found Tropical Flava on Yelp. We walked in right at noon. Every table had a lilly centerpiece with full place settings, it gave off a nice vibe. My wife had the fried fish and I had the jerk chicken. The fish was tender and fresh. My jerk chicken had a great flavor, just enough spice and the rice/beans were the perfect compliment. If we were locals, we'd be frequent visitors.

I was really excited to try this place, and yeah, as expected the food is good. It's cooked well…read moreand flavored deliciously. The jerk chicken had a great kick, which was exactly what I was looking for, and the rasta pasta slapped. It was creamy and flavorful. Honestly, the best side option, and I wish I opted for more of that. Better than the mac n' cheese, which I found to be alright. I have been to other places that include rice, but the meal here doesn't come with rice, so you have to choose it as a side. Not that it's necessary since there's rasta pasta right there. It's not a particular big place, but you can definitely eat here. When I visited, it was empty but busy because most people seem to opt for takeout here. I wish that the person at the front was a little more helpful with the difference between a medium and a large. I understand it's more food, but is the container bigger? Or is it another scoop or portion of meat? Does making it a large mean the sides are more too? I don't know, I was only told it was more food. I got the impression that I was being annoying, and I should hurry up and order, so I did. Not the best experience, so it's a good thing the food makes up for that.

I ended up getting the Salmon Rasta Pasta and Collard Greens. The collards were amazing! Honestly the best I've ever had from a restaurant. The Salmon Rasta Pasta was just okay. The pasta was quite dry and the salmon overcooked. Lastly, the two plantains were good. I would give this place another try, although not with delivery. The charges were too high.

My husband got the jerk chicken. His taste hadn't returned fully so he couldn't tell me if what he had was good or not lol. I however thoroughly enjoyed my oxtails. They were flavorful, tender, and the portion size was hefty. I ate off this plate for three days. I think the price point was average for Jamaican food. The rice and peas were good, but just a little greasy from the oxtail gravy. I also was hoping the rice would have a more coconutty flavor than it did. The Mac and cheese had a really good flavor, it was nice and cheesy and they had some kind of pepper in there. The greens were alright, about as good as you can expect for a restaurant, nothing like homemade though. I would definitely like to come back to try their jerk chicken and rum cake.

They had the audacity to get offended when I questioned them about the portion of this $18 plate. I had no problem paying $18 for oxtails, but these were the smallest oxtails...EVER!!!
