The Bob Marley drink was yummy, and the Jamaican Black brought back childhood memories of Jamaica. The restaurant itself is beautiful, very sophisticated decor with a nod to island culture, great photos, and music that sets the vibe without being too loud.
A wonderful place for authentic Jamaican flavors. Highly recommend!
Now let’s talk about the confusing part… the menu situation. There’s a menu placed on the tables with a QR code (see picture), and there are also printed menus. Naturally, we scanned the QR code only to realize it was the menu for their New York location. Every item I asked about, the waitress just looked at me confused. She finally looked at my phone and said, “Oh, that’s our N.Y. restaurant.”
So you’re telling me you place a menu on the table that you don’t even serve from?? Bizarre. Note to self: do NOT scan the QR code menu on the table!
Now onto the good stuff
My fiancé ordered a Bob Marley drink it looked amazing, and you could definitely smell the alcohol from it!
We started with the spring rolls nice crispy outer layer with a yummy dipping sauce.
He ordered the oxtail with mac and cheese and completely devoured his plate. He said everything was seasoned perfectly.
I ordered the jerk chicken with rice & peas and seasoned veggies. The jerk chicken was to DIE for so moist, flavorful, and it came with a side sauce that had the perfect little kick at the end. The rice and veggies weren’t my favorite, but that chicken absolutely carried the plate!
Overall, the restaurant is a vibe with a fully stocked bar, great music, and flavorful main dishes just be prepared for a little menu confusion when you sit down.
As we’re sitting eating our appetizers and vibing to the music, which was great and not too loud. We saw the owner walking around and recording the vibe of the restaurant , not once did he stop to say hello to any of his customers! That to me was very poor customer service, its also took away from the overall experience. When you see the owner walking around, it naturally raises your expectation that they’ll acknowledge you — even just a quick smile or “Thanks for coming in.” When that doesn’t happen, it can land as:
Indifference
Arrogance
Disinterest in customers
Or simply poor hospitality awareness
Appetizers- 1.Bourbon BBQ ( which tasted like bbq jerk, and could’ve been fried just a little longer to ensure that the skin maintain its crispness.
2. Tostones and dip ( guacamole was good)
Entrée – My husband
Dry Aged Cajun Bone in Ribeye
He requested for it to be charred/ medium well but it wasn’t, and lacked the Cajun aspect!
Me- Bourbon Jerk Lamp Chops
I request medium well , they came well done and hard to crew .
Mash potatoes were real
The veggies that came with the meal , i really enjoyed. So much so that I made them for our family for Sunday dinner .
Drinks – Exceptional
Hubby – The Notorious
Me – Rum punch
In conclusion- The food was ok , drinks are exceptional and a owner who doesn’t take the time to say hello to his customers took away from the overall experience of customer service!
