The food is excellent. The wait was extremely long. Our server was very polite and apologetic. Would go back, but when we are not in a rush.

The owner was very nice but our experience was not the best. We had a reservation for 6pm and we didn’t get seated until 7pm. We did not get our entrees until 9pm. They did advise us that a chef called out and we were patient but when the food came it was not the best. The candid yams seems that they were put in the bowl straight from a can. Have the chef season them up a lil. My dish was the Rasta pasta and when it arrived it was not hot at all. The server was kind enough to take it back and warm it up again. The sauce for the Rasta pasta was watery maybe thicken that up a tad. Hope my details were helpful

Thank you, Tracy. We appreciate that you took the time to dine with us and leave this review. We apologize that your experience was not what you expected. We acknowledged the delay and attempted to accommodate your party as best as we could with comp drinks. We would love for you to elaborate on why the food wasn't "the best" so that we can work on improving. We hope you will give us another try in the future.

The food and drinks were outstanding! The mac & cheese was spot on, and the oxtail empanadas were equally impressive. The drinks were fantastic as well. I will definitely be returning! The staff was wonderful too.
