I had plain Coca Cola with ice. They also had rum punch and they loved it. My wife's friend had some steamed fish with vegetables and she said she enjoyed it. I had a piece of it and I do concur. Yum, yum. The jerk chicken wasn't that spicy but I loved that it was grilled. Our waitress, Mara was awesome, she was quick to bring our drinks and refills. She was very inviting. And she kept bringing more drinks for my wife and her friend. I don't drink. So I stayed with my water and soda. I also enjoyed the World Cup game on their bring screen. Great sound and the lighting is very relaxing. Not too loud, which is a wonderful thing for me.

We ordered a variety of chicken wings, along with french fries and some light fare. The VIP room has a lively ambiance, equipped with four large-screen TVs, seating for 60 people, making it perfect for events. From the outside, the building appears smaller than it actually is, as it's a multi-level venue that can host various events simultaneously. The restaurant downstairs offers a Caribbean menu that has received positive reviews, particularly for its brunch. It's also heartwarming to note that the restaurant is named in honor of the owner's late mother, Seta, adding a personal touch to the experience. I plan to return and explore more of their offerings in the future.

I tend to be a 4+ stars dining go-er, but my husband and I came across this restaurant while attending Pentworth Porch fest. This is a grab and go establishment with a just a couple sitting areas. Food is prepped already, though seafood was cook to order. I had slim to no expectations for a random Jamaican spot I found on the block (I'm Caribbean, so I take our food serious!) but I will say everything was delicious! We had the ox tail and goat with rice and beans, cabbage and plantains. A friend of ours had the shrimp platter. I was pleasantly surprised by the portions and the costs. This area is a bit out my way, but if I'm ever in the neighborhood I would certainly visit again. (And am wondering if they do catering!)

However, let's get into this food. Both times, I have ordered the wings and tingz. I know I need to try something different next time :). My food was so good that I had to eat in silence. I didn't even have the energy to put on a show; I just needed a moment alone with my platter to savor every bite. I think the mac and cheese has the perfect consistency of creamy, crusted cheese and flavor. The wings are really good, too! You don't really need a sauce to pair them with; they are good on their own and super tasty. I hope the chef has a fantastic weekend; they deserve whatever they want for how good this food is. I hope this establishment receives all the love it deserves. I would definitely come here again, and I would bring my family in person for a family dinner. Next time, I will definitely try the Rasta pasta or some of their other dishes.

I was going to order 1/2 Jerk Chicken and 2 sides, however they explained that they did not have a chef on hand, so there were only build your own bowls available. That was sort of a bummer. I ordered a Jerk Chicken bowl with Lo Mein noodles, and a few veggie toppings. The plantain was too overcooked on the outside, and slightly undercooked on the inside. So whomever cooked it, the heat was up too high because it blackened the plantain too fast. They should be golden, not charred. The Mac and cheese was absolutely phenomenal. I think they make it with smoked gouda?? I don't know, but whatever the secret ingredient is, it was amazing. The lady that made my bowl was friendly.
