    Best Caribbean fusion food I've ever had! The flavors were out absolutely delicious . Every bite of the dishes were pleasing. I have to be honest the wait was very long and the service was subpar but the I would have waited forever just to have the food. I would highly recommend dispute the long wait.

    The ambience was chill, The food was great, I had the oxtails, rice and beans and cabbage... Absolutely delicious. The service was lacking because for our table of 10 there was only one server and several side were forgotten, but the young man was very nice and so he did explain he was the only one... We hope he enjoyed his generous tip for trying his best.

    My friend and I went in around 8pm on a Saturday and were able to sit in the high tops by the bar. Our server, Solomon, was super sweet and attentive! However, we waited over an hour for our food to come out and when it did, I was missing a side dish and my friend's macaroni was cold as if it was never put in the oven. I ordered pasta to go at the end of our dinner and that came out quicker than the food we ordered while sitting inside the restaurant and they gave me the wrong pasta! But we got the seafood dip as an app and it was absolutely DELICIOUS! 10/10 recommend. My friend really likes their jerk chicken and yams. I got rib tacos and wasn't really impressed but I' willing to give them another try in the future. Also, there was a live band which made it a little noisy but nothing too crazy.

    So after learning the was a Jamaican restaurant I could wait to go. I got the large oxtail with fried okra and beans and rice. My husband got the jerked catfish Mac and cheese and cabbage. My son Got the kids catfish We also got the smothered cornbread with yams. We ordered from people drinks which were really good. The food gave me the runs. Everything was too rich. I'm going to blame it strictly on the oxtails. Because when I ate my leftovers two days later same thing happened. I'm a little traumatized now to be honest. Even now that I am looking at my pics. I get a little squeamish. The drinks were good though A Bob Marley And Good vibrations.

    The food was excellent! there should of been lobster on the burger, I didn't see any. But the food was great. The service was meh. I never had a server stand and waited for me to tip/sign the receipt. That was weird and kind of rude in my opinion.

    The oxtails are AMAZING! The sweet potatoes are mid and I didn't like the Mac n cheese. I also got the cornbread which was also really good. You get a lot of food for what you pay for and it came out pretty fast. The service was pretty good and the live music was good as well. It can get pretty loud, so just be aware of that. Overall it was a pleasant experience!

    Y'all.... Take a seat for this one! Quickest seating is at the bar and thankfully we did because the bartender's attitude and hospitality is really the only saving for this experience. Symphonie is a diamond in the rough. If you stop in, take my recommendation and sit w/ her at the bar. The live music was pretty good on this Sat night. The artist was very talented and the island vibe is catchy but, you can tell the owner(s) skimp big time on everything from decor, cups, utensils, sauces. Y'all.... These prices and they're serving plastic utensils, plastic cups, and freaking sauce packets! They should be ashamed or just set up picnic tables & use to-go boxes!! SMH We ordered a variety appetizer, which was served quick and spot on with good flavors. The cocktails were also on point. Dinner was extra slow and served in rounds, rather than all at the same time. One meal was served Luke warm, the pork chops were moist but as small as a Wendy's kids burger patty! By 7:30pm they were out of greens.... WTH?! It's y'all's top selling side and can't manage thru a full Saturday dinner service. The GM popped around but, wasn't seemingly useful to the opportunities. Another recommended spot bites the dust. I suggest low expectations & mostly come for the music & drinks.

    Cajun Jerk wings!! They were amazing, a slight kick to it but it's bearable to eat

    I got the Cajun Jerk chicken Togo, they were amazing, a slight kick to them but bearable to eat. For my meal I got the Large portion oxtail meal, with greens, rice and beans, and sweet yam cornbread! The cornbread is not in the picture but I would give this meal a 10/10. The greens were my favorite with the cornbread, it tasted like somebody's grandma cooked them, they were so juicy and tender. The oxtails were full of flavor all the way to the bone, and the rice and beans were really good as well, no complaints. I went on a Sunday which is always busy, they said an hr wait from when we ordered, but the food came out in less than 15-25 mins!!! Amazing.

    Food ok, nothing to write home about. Food came so fast and it wasn't as warm as it should have been.

    Taste of the Island Caribbean Takeout - Jerk Ribs

    Y'all, I'm not gonna lie--I got a little nervous when I rode by and saw the old Taste of Caribbean…read morelocation CLOSED! I thought, "Now hold on... somebody better start explaining!" Luckily, no need to panic! They just moved right down the street to 141 E. Capitol, in what I believe is the old Elite Restaurant location. Walked in and, just like always, was greeted with a friendly face. I ordered the jerk pork and cabbage, and LORD HAVE MERCY... it was absolutely DELICIOUS! That jerk pork was packed with flavor, and the cabbage was so good I could've eaten another plate of it by itself. And let me tell y'all something else--the ribs I've had there in the past are legitimately some of the BEST ribs I've ever put in my mouth. And I've put a respectable number of ribs in my mouth over the years, so I don't make that statement lightly! Looks like they are working on their decor, but it doesn't affect the food! Quick, convenient, easy parking, friendly folks, and food that'll have you thinking about your next plate before you've finished the first one. If you haven't tried Taste of Caribbean, that's your loss--and I mean that with love! Do yourself a favor, go see these folks, order you something good, and GET SOME CARIBBEAN IN YO BODY!! You can thank me later!!

    food was terrible tasted like the seasoned everything a dirty sock. Not authentic Jamaican food…read more definitely not worth the price. I literally left my plate outside.
