Reviews
Then the other server came over with a weird attitude from the start. I’m not sure what was going on with him, but the energy was off the whole time. When I tried to say “thank you,” he just lifted his nose up and walked away without acknowledging me. It was strange, rude, and very unprofessional. Like what’s the deal? Overall, the food was solid, 10/10! But the service was so bad that I wouldn’t return. A restaurant should make you feel welcome, not judged or ignored. They really need to work on their customer service. Oh and the rum punch was god awful! OMG? I love rum punch! But it was bad…
The inside setup is nice and very accessible.
On this visit, the service staff was attentive and helpful.
The one page menu features drink selections on the reverse side.
They have a regular menu and a brunch menu at $45.00 that features unlimited mimosas for 1 hour.
Sampled the Fusion Sampler that had Jerk wings, callaloo spring roll, coconut shrimp, and codfish fritters. However, they had no collaloo, so the spring rolls were filled with regular Asian spring roll vegetables.
The jerk wings were dry rubbed and a tad bit dry, the shrimp allowed for options of jerk, grilled or fried. Tried the fried, but it lacked any cocktail or tartar sauce. The provided sauces were mayo or a curry mayo that didn’t taste much like a curry mayo. The cod fritters were good.
Not sure why the feature callaloo if they don’t have it. Just calling it a vegetable spring roll would work and then it could be filled with the vegetables available for that period.
For the entree, had the Oxtail with Slow braised beef, rice & peas, collard greens, and Brown Stew chicken with chicken in brown stew, rice & peas, collard greens. The oxtails did not taste as if the meat were marinated before cooking, it had a very oily mix with the gravy on the plate. The chicken was good, but again to much oil to the gravy ratio.
As a island eatery, the addition of a good pepper sauce or hot sauce is needed. The hot sauce offering was bland and tasteless.
As for the drink options, the pairing were a bit contrary to the desired taste. Had the Rum Punch that contains Wray & Nephew white rum, Meyers rum and fruit punch. The Meyers rum on its own is over whelming as it is a dark rum with its own distinctive taste.
As for non alcoholic drinks, they feature no sugar free options except a in house lemonade.
Overall, this is a reasonable price restaurant. It’s the details of the menu and drinks that need improvement to make this a much better food establishment.
