   I’ve been here multiple times and also order out on Uber Eats, the food, drinks, and service are 10/10. My favorite entree is the Shrimp stuffed with crab meat, it’s amazinggggg!!! My go to drink is the Sorrel Mimosa. Grotto has a great vibe!

   Meh!!!! It was super cold but they were incredibly kind by bringing out a heater to keep us warm. The food for me was errrrr nah! I got the snapper and I don’t mind food taking a while to come out but it better be delicious. It was soooo dry though it looked wet which doesn’t make sense (I got the brown stew…) with zero flavour. I almost cried. ;( The servers were lovely though. Presentation was good.

   if you don’t mind waiting an hour for your food, then come here to be honest. The food was great but to wait an hour for an entrée is insane. And on top of that being charged a 20% service fee on top of taxes, the food was good, but I won’t be back at this establishment.

   Dinner with the family and The Grotto BK did not disappoint! We started with drinks and then the ackee tostones along with the Octail spring rolls were delicious. And then we moved to the main event of dinner which brought on Oxtails with rice and peas with fried plantain, crab stuff shrimp, steam veg and fried plantain and a rather tasty baked Mac and cheese with oxtails..... Yes we love oxtails very much. All in all we loved the entire experience and the service was amazing.

   It was the best birthday dinner. I felt right at home. The taste in every bite was everything I expected and wanted.

    The appetizers came out 20 minutes after the entree’s. Were we almost finished with our entree’s so I cancelled the appetizers. However they were brought out anyway and we were still charged. Perhaps this was a mixup because we had 3 different services. It was like team serving. The oxtails and jerk pork were tough. Needless to say I will not be going back. #foodie
