IF YOU ARE USING A CARD YOU HAVE TO TELL THEM PRIOR TO PAYMENT IF YOU WANT TO INCLUDE TIP. They do not have the option to do so after paying. Wild to me but, it is what it is. Music. 10/10. The main staple is House from the 80's-00's, R&B from the 70's - 90's, and a couple other genres but still a great mix. Hookah is available for purchase. Bar in the front is L - shaped. Ample space to sit and dance if the spirit so moves you. Drinks - Electronic measured pours. A negative for me but! If it helps control profits and diminish bad behavior, let it rock. After 10pm the front area closes and the back opens on certain nights (Sunday I stayed all night in the front) Much larger space and also a cover. Again, cash is king here. All things considered I can overlook some of my minor inconveniences because the totality of the experience is worth it. To Me, lol

The tables are really meant to either stand around and drink/eat or for 2 people if you are sitting down. There's a selection of spirits and you can mix in some kind of juice/soda. Went with mostly passionfruit and Titos with the occasional add-in of rum. They also had sangria! Drinks were pretty strong. The buffet offered 7 tins: recall salad, yucca, rice dish, one with shrimp and one with chicken. Honestly, the whole time flew by. I didn't even grab seconds although I would've prob liked to. At some point this place turns into a club and they open the doors that partition the area where the event was held with the area that has the stage. Music was of the Latin variety and a lot of people were piling in. You can also get hookahs there. Would def go back there for an event.

This was like being at the loudest yet at least attended bar mitzvah ever! The music was blasting! The food was OK. The server, well, I don't know if she was new, but she didn't know very much. She brought me a cocktail menu, but didn't know what was in the cocktails. (she said she did when I asked, but then had to go ask someone probably because she didn't understand what I was asking because it was so loud.!) when I asked for a glass of water, she brought me a bottle. I told her that I meant I wanted a glass of tapwater and she said that they don't have that, they only have bottles. I asked if they charge for the bottles and she said no so I figured that was just the way they do it here. Imagine my surprise when there was a charge for the water on the Bill. The server spoke to the manager and got it taken off. The manager is the person who came over when it was time to pay, and I thanked her and explained what happened and she seemed very surprised that the server had told me there's no tapwater. Also, they build in an automatic 18% tip, which is a shame because I usually tip 20% but oh well.

Everyone at my table, enjoyed their food and their drinks. The service wasn't super fast, but it wasn't slow. The waiter was more than happy to accommodate when and where needed. The downside of this place is it can be a bit cramped and extremely loud. I could barely hear myself think I had to text the people sitting at the table with me because we could not hear each other at all. Nonetheless, if that is not of your concern, and you are here for a good time and not a long time you need to come here.

The restaurant ambiance is chill and the music is all types of Caribbean. My 3 stars is for the service. For a Wednesday night, they only had one server to manage the whole floor. Took a while for us to at least get waters. The bar was super slow to get drinks out. When we go our appetizers we asked for side plates and that took a while. They ran out of oxtail for my friend's dish so she switched her order to Jerk Chicken. We had to remind them for napkins twice. Tip was included which is really annoying when the service doesn't match a guaranteed tip. Maybe we came on a night they were short staffed but I hope it's not like this if I do come back. Other than that, food was great and the space was nice.

The music and strobe lights were a going. Had to ask the individual behind the bar if they were open. He nodded his head and I took it upon myself to find a place to sit. He then followed me to my chosen sit with the menus (dinner and drink). While they physically have a bar, music and strobe lights it appears they do not have any type of liquor license. Also, they did not have most of the non alcoholic drinks on their menu. Mostly just can sodas. So i ordered ginger ale and the oxtail with a side of Jollof rice. When the food was served (see pick below) it came in a nice bowl and plate and plastic take away silverware. Quite the different dynamic. The Oxtail had great flavor, but the use of plastic silverware was a downer. The Jollof rice was bland, but ok. Overall, not sure I will be back. The music and strobe lights for dinner were not for me. I would come back for the oxtail, but think I will do a takeaway and use my silverware at home.
