We sat upstairs where it was a little tight space but you surely forget that when the water is distrubuted as soon as you are seated. Chandler welcomed us almost immediately as our server for the night and apologize for any delay throughout the night because it was just two servers on a busy X-Mas eve night. My partner and I had the Grilled Beef Kabab with the Honey Jerk wings for the starters and it was amazing. The presentation on the kebab was exuberant with the blue fire still managing to engulf the bell peppers and kebab. The wings had a kick but not too spicy, just the way I liked. For our entree we had the lamb chop with jollof and sweet plantains and the Jaimacan chicken and shrimp with sweet plantains. Both dishes were amazing. Chandler stood out by checking on us and bringing my girlfriend and our other guest who were celebrating birthdays together, both cheese cake on the house. Gratuity included makes sense for an establishment like this. They deserve the Gratuity. Being that my lady and I have been here multiple times, Chandler has always managed to be our server each time and remembers us everytime. We look forward to coming back each and every time because of the food and the service. Finally, for drinks, my Lady had the Beach party and I had the Brazilian Kiss. The Brazilian Kiss was soo good, I order more for the table. Overall, amazing experience 4.5 Stars

Need more wait staff. We waited a long time for our mimosas that we paid $20 x5 person. Also, they brought my daughter a birthday dessert but they didn't sing to her unlike they did for someone sitting a table near us so we did.

Unfortunately my medium well lamb chops was more on the medium side. The salmon sliders were delicious. My husband had the braised oxtails that Unfortunately weren't braised...they were tender and dry. His sweet plantains were delicious and the mac &cheese as well. It was early afternoon and everything outside of our choices was not a disappointment. The owner was there and very apologetic and offered to cook my lamb chops to my liking but I never eat all my food so I took it to go and will fix it up at home. We did receive complimentary fried chicken and cornbread for all our troubles. Under cooked/ pink 😔. I really did like the spot , just not the food.
