    First time here and this has been a pleasant experience. We were greeted very warmly and welcoming. My sister and I ordered the jerk chicken and curry chicken. The place wasn't too busy and we waited about 15-20 minutes for our order to be completed. We quietly sat and listened to a nice mix of popular Jamaican hits to keep us entertained. Here's my take on the food: Jerk chicken: Tender. Smokey. Flavorful. Unfortunately not spicy. Everyone makes their jerk differently and in my opinion the flavor of the chicken makes up for the lack of heat that I was anticipating. Curry chicken: Pretty good, very tender. A good amount of flavor. Vegetables: The cooked/steamed perfectly with the right amount of flavor. Rice and peas: A bit on the mellow side when it comes to flavor but it's a good consistency in texture. It serves its purpose in soaking up the flavors of the entrée to provide a balanced experience without being overwhelmed. I will definitely come back and I encourage others to give this place a try.

    Friendly service and delicious food. I ordered fried snapper, head removed, and jerk wings. I got a whole snapper with head and leg thigh quarter instead of wings. This is the reason for 3 stars instead of 4. The food was delicious! Snapper was crispy and seasoned. The flavor of the chicken was so good. Then I combined it with the rice and cabbage and it was another level. Get extra jerk sauce on your rice. The portions were very generous. I'm going back to get my wings. Great food.

    Small portion of Jerk Chicken and cabbage. Yum!

    I ordered the jerk and cabbage and OMGoodness! The dish was bursting with flavor!!! The smokiness of the chicken, the ginger, allspice and pepper I could clearly distinguish, it was all good. Because it is a "carryout only" spot (curbside for now) and it was my first time dining there, I figured I should take a couple of bites before I left. Well, I ended up devouring most of it before I drove off. Lol If you enjoy Jamaican food, this is it! In all transparency, the people in the surrounding area initially had me on guard, but proved to be unbothersome. Don't let that deter your visit.

    So decided to go to this place because I have been craving Jamaican food, let's proceed. Venue: I'm not going to lie when I pulled up the parking lot was being worked on and the venue kind of looked suspect. However, When you go inside there's a left section a right section, and about four tables where you can sit and dine in (two tables on each side). Then you walk up to a glass where you put in your order. The inside was clean. The only thing was their door every time it closed kept making a loud banging noise so it was alarming until you got used to it. We decided to dine in and I'm glad we did. Would I come here on a date, naaa. But would I come here with the family and some friends for sure (which I did). Service: First of all you know there's that stereotype that if you go to a Jamaican restaurant and the service is bad the food is going to be amazing? ROFL. Honestly, I was scared because the guy who greeted us, Jason, was super nice. So in my head, I'm thinking oh man this food is about to be horrible lol. Jason is one of those people with an energetic, charismatic personality and he spoke with such kindness and happiness. I was thinking to myself whatever he's on I'm trying to get on it as well l, to be as happy as he is. Throughout the whole meal, he checked on us, made sure we were good and asked for our opinions. There was also another lady who came out and greeted us as well as very nice people. Amazing service!!!!!! Once again amazing service! Shout out to Jason! Food: like I said after the great service we received I wasn't feeling too hopeful about the food being good rofl. However, let me state this, I'm actually upset that I went into this establishment because now I have to figure out how I am going to budget for coming here so often. The food was unbelievably delicious!!!!! Danggggggg. (Punches air) l wish the food was nasty so I could not go back but it's nootttt. I'm about to go broke coming here every day almost ugh. They should start a loyalty program rofl. I got the Oxtail, on everything, this was so fresh and hot. Some of the best oxtail I've eaten. I've noticed a lot of Jamaican restaurants making their oxtails overly sweet but this was perfect. Like the gravy was really really good. The only thing I should have done was ask for more gravy which Jason told me I could have done after the food was gone lol. I know for next time. The rice was good. Let me say this, I don't even like cabbage but the way I smashedddddd. I legit inhaled all the food. My friend got the chicken curry. That chicken curry was seasoned just right not too salty not under season but perfect for dipping my beef patty in. My sister got the jerk chicken and when I say it tasted like they were killing the chicken and smoking it out in the back babbbyyyy!!!!! Whew, lord the way I'm trying not to go there while writing this ugh. I also ordered the festivals...... Just buy two orders trust me. Listen I could go on and on about the food let me just do the cons because it's easier. The only thing I wasn't too fond of was the plantains I feel like they were overly cooked I like mine's little bit firmer but to each their own they were still not bad. And the drink I got the Sorel was good but it was overly sweet. However, once I started eating the sweetness definitely went right along with the savoryness of the food. Price: for the oxtail, jerk chicken, two orders of festivals, two drinks I paid around $46. Not bad at all because the way I was eating all I could think about was my bills about to be $100 and it wasn't so I was happy. Pricing isn't bad. Yall know oxtail expensive! Lol Summary of you can't read all that lol. Do I recommend this place I sure the heck do! One of the best Jamaican restaurants in Cincinnati, I would say. I'm trying get a part time job here so I can eat for the freeeeeee. Hahaha. 10 outta 10 would recommend!!!!!

The menu looked amazing, so I drove us there. When we pulled up, I thought we had the wrong place. It is inside of an office building. Tip: Go to the second floor and make a left. The aroma of the food will lead your right to it. When we arrived, they had music playing and chill vibes. You can order and pay through the kiosk. After we placed our order, we went into the dining area. The food came out pretty quickly. I ordered 10 wings and coco bread. For my flavors, I selected the pineapple jerk wings and the honey jerk wings. The owner came out personally and brought my wings to me. The owner is a really solid dude. He gave us the backstory on the restaurant and told us about his homemade sauces. You can tell that he really is passionate about his business. The wings were smoked and sauced to perfection! And they are 10 for $10! Can't beat that price for the quality they are giving you. The coco bread was a nice addition, I used it to soak up the leftover jerk sauce I had in my container! My wife got the jerk salmon with fried rice and jerk yum yum sauce. Yes, you heard me right! Jerk Yum Yum Sauce!!! I had to steal a couple of bites off of her plate, and I shared one of my wings with her. She loved her meal, and the jerk yum yum sauce was phenomenal. We ordered The Hut Punch, which is sugar-free and comes with real fruit pieces. It was very refreshing and flavorful. Lastly, the customer service! We met the owner and his wife. They have managed to bring a piece of Jamaica to Ohio. When we were about to leave to head back to Columbus, I told my wife that I couldn't leave without getting some jerk yum yum sauce to go. I asked if they sold sauces to go. The owner went out of his way to go and purchase containers so that I could take some home. He didn't have to do that, but I am truly grateful that he did. I am now back in Columbus, and I have already started pouring on my fried rice and loving every bite! If you love Jamaican food, you have to try this place! Jerk Wings 1-5=5! Coco Bread 1-5=4. Salmon Fried Rice 1-5=5. Hut Punch 1-5=4. Jerk Yum Yum Sauce 1-5=5! Customer Service 1-5=5! Even though they are Bengals fans. #GoBrowns

It's hard to narrow down a favorite because everything we ordered was delicious, but if o had to I would say the chicken kebabs and stuffed peppers were the best.

    Visiting Cincy, we decided to make a reservation here! We loved the thought of family style…read moredinner!! There were only 3 of us, so we figured ordering a few plates would suffice... except when our server told us we would need way more. We were a bit surprised to be told that everything basically came in twos or was a very small portion! (Confusing because when I think family style I think BIG plates) This is a TAPAS place... family style but small appetizers and drinks style restaurant!! So you probably won't leave here full!! The server was kind and very knowledgeable! She gave us plenty of time to pick and choose! We decided on bread w/ oil & salsa ($11), guac & tostones ($13), ceviche of the day ($22), 2 chicken skewers ($19), 2 pork belly tacos ($16), & 3 beef empanadas ($22.5) I will say all of the food was PHENOMENAL... chicken skewers were perfect (might be spicy for some), ceviche (red snapper our day) was my favorite... just a super small portion for $22, empanadas were perfect, and the oils and bread was top notch!! Seriously have nothing bad to say about the food (BRAVO Chef Jose Salazar.... You really know how to do your thing!!!!) I loved it and really enjoyed my time, but if you're looking for a fancy, cute, SMALL dinner vibe - this would be the jackpot find! Or even a drink/apps before a bigger dinner date. (But if you're looking for a traditional large family style meal, I wouldn't go here) Our bill ended up over $150, but when divided it was really only around $55 each!! Not too bad for a fun fancy meal! I would love to come here again and try more, especially knowing the menu has lots of daily rotations (ex. The ceviche) Thank you again for a lovely experience!!!

I love what they have done with the building. I love all the artwork that you can buy from several local artist hanging all over the place. They have two arcade games, a pool table and a jukebox. A coin machine for all three. Everyone who works here is really nice and down to earth for the most part. The bartenders were always making sure the place, including the restrooms were always clean. Which is nice for a bar especially when a show is happening. Things can get gross REAL fast. The woman who reviewed this place and said they didn't have cans of beer or draft, I have literally no idea what she's talking about because they definitely have both. They had three beers on tap and I know they for sure had Cheetah by Rhinegeist and PBR in cans. I'm sure they had more. They have a large drink selection at the bar. Apparently, they also have food usually, but the kitchen was closed last night. The stage is small and oddly set up with a weird pillar in the middle, in-front of the stage. But it's still a good small place to play. Just prepare to get sweaty when the room is packed. Glad we have a low key, cool place now to hang out and have shows in Latonia. We will definitely be back.
