The restaurant was very…read moreaccommodating when making our reservation, which we appreciated, especially with a larger group. Before our dinner, I asked about bringing an outside birthday cake and was told there would be a $20 holding fee plus a $5 per-slice cake-cutting fee. I completely expected there to be a cake-cutting fee, but charging per slice felt a bit excessive, especially for a party of 11. Most restaurants I've experienced charge a flat fee of around $30-$50 depending on the establishment. Because of the additional cost, we decided not to bring the cake. The appetizers and drinks were good, and overall we enjoyed the food. However, some of the entrées were served cold. My entrée in particular was not warm enough for me to enjoy, so I decided not to eat it at the restaurant and packed it to go instead. One person in our party also received the wrong order, but the staff corrected it. Despite those issues, we had an enjoyable evening celebrating my mom. The ambiance was nice, the music created a great Caribbean vibe, and our group had a good time overall. With a little more attention to food temperature and a more reasonable flat cake-cutting fee, the experience could have been even better.

My friend also had to ask for water to be brought to the table, and we waited quite a while for our entrées. That said, the staff appeared to be working hard and may have simply been overwhelmed by the number of patrons. As for the food, it was delicious! Five of us dined, and the total bill was under $400, which I thought was very reasonable. The drinks served in the glass vase-style bags were also delicious. If you order one, just know that it's large enough for about three people. Overall, despite a few service and noise-related issues, it was a decent experience.

I'm changing my review from 2 stars to 1 because after thinking about the overall experience, there…read morewere just too many issues to overlook. My girlfriends and I came here for brunch a few Sundays ago, and one of the things that attracted us was the presentation of the drinks in their signature glasses. The way these drinks are promoted on social media, with people literally posing outside with the glasses, gives the impression that the glass is part of the experience, especially since there is an additional charge for the drink. I was surprised to find out that we could not keep the glass. There was no mention from our waiter that the glasses were for dine-in only, nor was there any clear indication that the additional charge was simply for the drink being served in that particular glass. If you're charging extra for something that is being heavily used as part of your marketing, I think it's reasonable for customers to wonder whether they're actually purchasing the glass. What made this worse was that I mentioned my concern on their Instagram post, and instead of acknowledging that the promotion could be confusing, the response was essentially that it's their signature glass and that customers don't get to keep it. But that doesn't address the issue. The issue is the lack of clear communication. And even after people in the comments were asking whether they could keep the glasses, I noticed they continued promoting the drinks in the same way without adding something as simple as "dine-in only" or "glass not included." That would eliminate the confusion completely. Unfortunately, the service itself wasn't great either. The food took a while, my waffle came out cold and had to be reheated, and I believe my friend's lamb chops were forgotten because she was waiting significantly longer for her food. The food was good when we actually received it, but good food doesn't make up for poor communication and a disappointing dining experience. I'm especially disappointed because the glass situation could have been handled so easily with a little transparency and customer service. I'm giving 1 star because this experience could have been much better, and the response afterward did not make me feel like the restaurant took the feedback seriously. Update: updated to 3 stars... the business reached out to advise my recommendations were recognized.

We also shared the lo mein with beef and chicken, and it was packed with flavor. For my entrée, I ordered the salmon with mashed potatoes and sea vegetables, and everything on the plate was cooked beautifully and tasted amazing. And the rum punch by the pitcher? Definitely worth ordering! The food, drinks, and overall experience made the birthday celebration feel extra special. We had such an amazing time, and I would absolutely come back again. Highly recommend for a birthday dinner, date night, or just a great night out!

My grits were creamy and buttery. I enjoyed my meal and I thoroughly enjoyed my new favorite lychee martini! Service was good! The servers were attentive and knowledgeable on the menu.

We devoured the appetizers and was looking forward to our main course. Everyone ordered some variation of fish and I ordered the duck. Everything was delicious and we were all satisfied with our food and drinks. We ordered everything on mini tablets.

Went to D Garden for a quick late-night bite and they had Taco Tuesday going on…read more We tried the oxtail tacos, jerk chicken, sweet chili salmon, and a margarita. The oxtail itself was pretty delicious, but the sauce was a little overwhelming for me--it almost gave a Thousand Island-type vibe, and I think less sauce would've let the oxtail shine more. The jerk chicken though?! Definitely my favorite. It was flavorful and delicious, and if I came back I'd probably skip the salmon and just get the jerk chicken dinner. The sweet chili salmon was okay, but it had an interesting taste that wasn't really for me. The margarita was pretty standard. Service was good and we never felt like we were bothering anyone, even coming in later. The space definitely gives more sports bar than restaurant since there are TVs EVERYWHERE So if you're coming for a date where you really want to talk and connect, or have a serious conversation, I probably wouldn't choose here because there's a lot going on visually. BUT the music was amazinggg! If you love Soca, reggae, and Caribbean vibes, you'll probably enjoy yourself. The DJ that night was really good We did notice a few house flies, which were a little distracting, but it's summertime and we were sitting somewhat close to the door, so I wasn't completely surprised. It's also not a huge space, so I could definitely see it getting packed quickly on a Friday or Saturday night, especially with a good DJ. Overall: Food: 7/10 Drinks: 7/10 Vibe: Come for the music + Caribbean energy Would I return? Yes--but I'm getting that jerk chicken next time!

Seconds later a young woman brings out steamed cabbage, and the server didn't even offer the veggies and my husband had to ask to get a serving (attitude intensified).
