Omg food delivers an unforgettable taste of the islands. You can tell every dish is made with care — rich in tradition, full of bold flavors. A must-try for anyone craving real Caribbean soul food. Highly recommended,

I love Jamaican food and couldn't wait to try this spot! When I arrived I parked on the street nearby! I walked into a dimly lit place and was greeted. Allison was my server/bartender, and she was nice! She sat me in the back area. I started with the Grotto Punch, which was like a sangria, and it was good but a little sweet, so I added some more Merlot. For my appetizer, I got the mussels, and it was delicious! I then had the stewed red snapper with rice and peas, and that was also very good! I lastly had the rasta pasta with shrimp. This dish took quite a while to come out. When it did, the pasta was good, but the shrimp was a bit salty. All in all, I had a pretty good experience!

The Mac and cheese is to die for, the most creamiest and cheesiest macaroni you will ever taste, beautiful crispy crust. Home made ginger beer feels like home, great balance of ginger and sweetness. The red snapper was lovely. The food was great. Service excellent and atmosphere very chilled vibes. Defo recommend

The food was phenomenal!! Everything was fresh, made to order, and seasoned with love. The staff was kind and attentive and did what they could to ensure the experience was a good one. The sweet chili wings and mac&cheese changed my life off of the first bites. The restaurant itself is quite small, but there is an outdoor portion (heated in winters) with additional space. The food may also take some time because it is made to order, but it is SO so worth it. P.S. I had white rice with my jerk chicken entree and was given a side of oxtail gravy for it. That took the cake✨

Food was good but i wish they had all day entrees instead of brunch until 5pm. Nice backyard seating with heat and sombrero. I had the shrimp and grits. Good shrimp but too much grits for the ratio. Chicken and waffles was nicely waffled, meat nicely fried but was a bit dry. Staffs were friendly and very organized. Qr code menu, hookah not on menu but $40 cash with $20 refill. Good service on that as well. Bottomless $40 per person with flavors to choose from. The pitcher just kept refilling and coming back its worth it!
