The restaurant is beautiful. The menu was very limited. I was really excited to be able to get in but disappointed once I looked at the menu—chickpeas, chicken and goat. The food was good but not what I expected. Our server had too many tables which meant we had to wait for everything. Hopefully after the pandemic things will get back to normal.

We had read wonderful reviews of the restaurant and decided to dine out. The food was very good but the limited menu was a surprise (not on website)! The disappointing part of the evening was the service.... or there lack of it! The restaurant was 70% full and there appeared to sufficient staff but they were not attentive or better defined as “lazy”. We have always allowed room because of the pandemic but this was disappointing.

The food was unbelievable. The service was not great. It took a very long time to get non alcoholic drinks and to place our order. Showed up on time for reservation and still waited in a line with people who did not have reservations for 10+ minutes. I would return based on the quality of food only.

My friends and I dined here for my birthday and it was a nice experience. We were extremely late (due to looking for parking) and the staff was still able to accommodate us. The food was great despite it being a limited menu. Would go back if/when there are more offerings. Service started off a little slow but got better; I think there was a shift switch and once we got a new server the service was great.

There were only two things on the menu and the previous chef had left with all his recipes.

Pros: *Delicious* food, friendly service, and great covid-19 safety protocols. Cons: We waited 25 minutes after our reservation time to be seated (outside); menu was extremely limited (jerk chicken or curry).

I really had high expectations, but was disappointed. Hopefully it was the result of the pandemic. The server was preoccupied with one of the 4 tables she had, causing us delays in ordering our different courses. The menu was extremely limited. With that being said, I expected the food to be amazing. It was amazingly ordinary. It was no more than a strip mall, Styrofoam containered carribean carryout. At this point, the only thing I see going for this place is the ambience. I want to give them another try, but will wait until things normalize.
