I came here with my boyfriend for a date night. We got seated by the window in a nice, secluded area. Our waitress, Ashley, was very nice, attentive, friendly, and descriptive about the dishes. We ordered the salmon egg rolls and the bisque as appetizers which were seasoned to perfection. Highly recommend the bisque! It had lobster and crab in every bite. For our entrees, I got the jerk pasta with chicken and my boyfriend got the lamb lollipops (medium rare). My dish was amazing and so flavorful. The lamb was good but it was cooked well done but my boyfriend didn’t want to say anything about it. For dessert, we ordered the fried banana pudding and that was hands down delicious! We couldn’t stop eating it no matter how full we were. I would definitely go back to try some of the other dishes. We ended up paying about $180, which I think is on the high end but for the ambience and scale of the restaurant, it is worth it.

This was my first time here and I will definitely be back! Went here for a girls night out with a friend and we enjoyed the food and ambiance. Portion size and flavor was good. Noise level was good, we didn’t feel as if we had to yell to speak to each other. A special thank you to our server Kae! He was very kind and helpful. My only feedback is concerning parking, though this is no fault of the restaurant. There is a parking lot across the street and street parking on the next block. Even with this, I will still return.

The ambience was great. Nice place for a date night. Small but cozy. Food was delicious. We had the salmon bites which was delicious and the red snapper was good as well. The drinks were good as well.
