The food was absolutely delicious…read more We got the sampler platter with braised oxtail, jerk chicken, curry goat, plantains, and rice & peas so we could try a little of everything. It was the perfect size for two. The meat melted in your mouth, and the sauces were incredibly flavorful and not too spicy. We also split a very nice bread pudding for dessert. We liked the ambience and the music - nice for a date night, not too loud and not too soft. The chef Patrick was really hospitable and explained the different dishes to us. The prices were good and we left stuffed. A fantastic experience and I can't wait to come back.

I really wanted the cleanliness and flavor to match the prettiness of the establishment. Maybe in Nj it's common but I'm not from here

*TooGood2Go Review*…read more I only see this spot on the app once in a while and since it was a place I had bookmarked already, I jumped on the chance when it popped up on TooGood2Go. For this order, we received some stewed curry chicken with rice and peas. The chicken was kind of dry. I'm not sure if it's an end of the day thing, or that's just how their chicken is. I guess there was a reason why there was still some left at the end of the day. I'd still come back to try their gyros and jerk chicken, which is what I originally wanted to try and was hoping to get. Maybe those dishes will be better.

I stopped in for lunch with a serious craving for Jamaican food. You know the kind of craving where…read moreyou already have the taste of oxtails in your head before you even walk through the door. The oxtails were fine. They were some what tender, flavorful, and coated in a rich sauce that soaked into the rice and beans. My only complaint was that I wanted a few meatier pieces. With oxtails, there's always that delicate negotiation between bone, fat, and actual meat, and my plate leaned a little too heavily toward the first two. The sides were where the meal lost some momentum. I went with rice and beans, which did exactly what they needed to do, but I wasn't particularly impressed with the cabbage. The plantains were not enjoyable that day. More importantly, I wish there were more side options altogether. Jamaican food has too many great possibilities for the supporting cast to feel this limited. The pricing is also a little curious. There isn't much difference between a small and a large, which makes ordering the small feel almost financially irresponsible. Just get the large. Is this the best Jamaican food I've ever had? Absolutely Not. But it's certainly not the worst, either. The oxtails were good enough to satisfy the craving, and I left feeling like I'd eaten a solid meal. With stronger sides, a little more meat on those bones, and a few more choices on the menu, it could be considerably better. For now, I'd call it a respectable neighborhood option when the oxtail craving comes calling.

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.
