I / we loved the decor the old school soul music was definitely a ++++ and the food where do we start it was presented well tge flavors...we smelt the cooking from the parking lot so we knew the food was gonna be real (yard aka Jamaican) food. That 50 min drive to Milton was worth. I'd go back again in the very very near future. There was only 2 things that need attention: They took too long to bring our bill and also please get a portable debit/ credit machine because coming behind/beside the bar to tap is not so appealing. Otherwise Chef Courthey does not play in that kitchen. His vegetable rice is a must have side. The brown stew snapper gets 11/10 from me. I tasted the rose fettuccine pasta with oxtail and the coconut cream cheesecake ...lick your lips good. Since I can't give higher than 5 stars on here ...here's some more ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5. Nov 2. 2024
I went again on Jan 4. 2025. My friend and I had the brown stew snapper 10/10. The cow foot soup was delicious well seasoned liquid creamy but it was lukewarm. Given it's winter it should be hot.
However what I saw on this visit was issues with seating people mixing up reservations. People were seated then shifted to another table. As well, a group came and had to wait which suggest the reservations are not timed properly. We felt rushed to vacate our table. A suggestion for the proprietor...change the round table they are easier to pull apart and put together. As well have mobile payments available at least one unit. People shouldn't be lining up like at McDonalds to pay. I'll visit again but consider creating space with square table the round is not working. PS...
Read moreI recently dined at this restaurant with a group of three friends, and it came highly recommended by one of our own party. Despite my 90+ km drive, our expectations were exceeded in every way.
First and foremost, the food was a true delight. The presentation was immaculate, and each dish was bursting with flavor. We started with a trio of appetizers: coconut shrimp, spring rolls, and calypso shrimp. They were all scrumptious and set the tone for the rest of the meal.
For our main courses, we enjoyed lemon ginger salmon, oxtail, and jerk chicken. Every dish was an absolute masterpiece. The flavors were bold, and the execution was flawless. It's hard to pick a favorite because they were all so delectable.
What made the experience even more special was when the chef personally came out to greet us. It was evident that they take immense pride in their craft. The waitstaff were attentive and contributed to the overall positive atmosphere.
To top it off, the prices were reasonable, considering the quality and portion sizes. I can't wait to return to this restaurant, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking an extraordinary dining experience. This place truly deserves a resounding...
Read moreThis place was recommended to a friend and when they told me where it was located I was skeptical. A good Caribbean restaurant in the lobby of a Best Western? How can this be? Well, I'm glad a gave this a try.
Came in for dinner and the place was moderately busy. Walking in, I saw the food that was on other people's table and the smell assured me that this place probably lives up to it's high rating.
I had the Oxtail with Rice and Peas. The oxtail portion was very good. Sometimes you get oxtail and it's all bones, but this one had tons of meat and fat. It was cooked very well. The meat was seasoned perfectly and was falling off the bone. The gravy was dark with full beef flavour which of course goes well with the rice and peas. My friend had the Jerk Chicken and said it was like the ones they've had in Jamaica. I'm not really a fan of jerk chicken as the spice combination, for whatever reason, doesn't sit well on my palette. I had a taste and the meat was soft and juicy. I would say it's better than most jerk i've tried in Canada.
The service was fast and attentive. The atmosphere was cozy with an old school flair. I will return to try other items...
