From the OpenTable editors: It’s always island time at this laid-back Jamaican restaurant, which draws regulars for sensational jerk chicken and oxtail stew, best paired with a hibiscus mojito or two. There’s a popular back patio for the warmer months, but the tropical vacation vibes are just as strong indoors thanks to a lush, plant-lined dining room.

    Great evening. Staff were all really pleasant and helpful and the food was fantastic! Especially recommend the Jamaican Mule to warm up at the start of the evening.

    Our appetizers arrived kind of lukewarm, and the wings were very small and sad-looking. Hot sauces were excellent. Flavour of our mains was good - nearly there but didn't quite meet our expectations given the Michelin recognition. Everything was good but we've definitely had better Jamaican food in the city. The energy of the restaurant was fun, the front of staff & our server were all so lovely.
