At that point - I did not want to eat anything else. I'm was quite upset that I was not offered any type of discount considering if I swallowed it All could have been injured! I wanted to compla n and speak to the manager but they was with my daughter and grandson and didn't want to make a scene. My 11 month old grandson was eating a side of mashed potatoes and if it was found inside his dish - that would have been a disaster. I wasn't even offered an explanation of where it came from or how this could have happened. Very disappointing!

Let me just say, this was the FIRST restaurant in Jersey City that I had absolutely no complaints…read morewhen it comes to the taste of food! I was surprised, with how surprised I was at the taste and quality of food. Due to food prices rising and quality going down, I have managed to cook at home as much as I can. I usually go out, order food, pay all that money, and regret it because it wasn't satisfactory. I was really pleased with this restaurant. I went for brunch. The steak and eggs plate was more than enough. I'm not a bread fan, but the biscuit with the homemade strawberry jam was actually to die for! The biscuit was fresh, moist and soft. The jam was not too sweet and paired together they were extremely satisfying! I could've eaten the biscuit with just the eggs and still recommended this place. I did think the steak was not the best, but the chimichurri sauce on top *kinda* helps you get over it. If you're a big fan of steak, know what well cooked steak is and that's your favorite food and you need it done perfectly, you also will not like it. To add to this point precisely, generally, steak and eggs plate are on the pricy side. With how good everything else was on the plate, how much food is provided and the lower cost of this steak and eggs plate makes it well worth it! Idc, if you feel like you make the best pancakes out there, the softness of these pumpkin pancakes are simply unbeatable! I absolutely love pancakes, and these may be the best ones I have ever had. They melt in your mouth and there's not much I can say other than please try the pancakes! They offer blueberry pancakes as well, but I did not have those and can't speak on that! With the trio appetizer, I think the pita was very good. Perfect crunch, perfect softness, slightly some flavor. The dips were okay. I was expecting more flavor, but that's the fun part of being able to try a variety, some you are gonna like more than others. I think we were given more than enough pieces of pita and that was nice since we can all agree sometimes the dip to chip/bread ratio does not really match at most places. The middle salad was fresh. There was some olives (which I generally do not like) but they were not as salty as olives generally are, and it was a good appetizer of choice to get some freshness, some slight protein (from certain dips being made out of beans) and it was a great introduction to our main meals. This if my first time going to this restaurant, hopefully other things on the menu will also meet my standards of good, but for the first experience and the selection of what I chose on the menu, in the least, I say try the steak and egg plate and DEF the pumpkin pancakes (ESPECIALLY if your a fan of pumpkin like myself). I'm not someone that cares for ambiance much, but it was nice in there. Typical amount of people in there for brunch, but did not feel overcrowded or loud although the space (that I was sitting in) felt slightly small. The service was nice, but I did feel it was a bit overbearing. I don't like to be asked how I'm doing every 10 mins, but maybe some people do. Also, waited for a while trying to get the check from our waiter. Saying this for the people who care about these things, me not so much.

The food was fresh, flavorful, and exceeded expectations. I got the fish ceviche and my date got steak. We were not disappointed!

Fast forward to a week ago i was watching a local content creator from JC do a food review of this place and he raved about the Oxtail Rasta Pasta! I said i HAVE to get there!! So Friday i couldn't wait to treat myself. I ordered the Oxtail rasta pasta and a curry chicken Jamaican patty. The patty was soooo good!!! Good amount of chicken and the curry was perfect!! The rasta pasta is made to order. The oxtail is done already but they have to make the pasta fresh so it took 20 mins to prepare but i didnt mind at all, i was so excited. This place is special because its a fusion of Jamaican and Dominican flavors!!! The young lady who was doing it all that day was so sweet. She told me the pasta is a best seller!!! Once i got home i immediately tote in and i see why its a best seller!! The Oxtail was TENDER fall off the bone! So tender i barely had to chew it!!!!! It was so good' the pasta was flavorful and juicy. Not dry at all!! Tiny peppers and onions and a bit of spice but not too much. I truly enjoyed every bite and i had left overs for the next day. I also saw the wings being ordered and they smelled amazing!!!!! I will definitely return to check out other items on their menu!! This is a true hidden local gem!!

The female that was rubbing the show single handed was so nice and friendly. I ordered the oxtail and jerk chicken Rasta pasta which was made fresh to order.

The jerk chicken was perfect pairing with the pasta, juicy and just the right amount of sauce. I also got the chicharron with the pickled red onions amazing and the pricing and portions were great. I highly recommend and I'll be back to try more from the menu. The wait is alil while but if you want fresh food and great service you won't be disappointed.

The prices, especially for drinks, seemed really fair. I saw a coconut Negroni on the menu made with coconut water and decided to give it a try. It turns out it's made with a creamy coconut syrup - truly the sweetest cocktail I've ever tried. It wasn't for me, but they were very kind when I swapped it for the house champagne. We ordered the French onion soup dumplings, the short rib grilled cheese, and the burrata pasta. The French onion soup dumplings were really creative. It was a dumpling skin in the holes of an escargot dish, topped with French onion soup and broiled cheese. This dish was really cool, my only note would be that the dumpling skins were doughy and not cooked or noodle like. Burrata pasta was great, short rib, grilled cheese was good. Would definitely be back to enjoy more of the drinks, and try some other menu items. A lot of the dishes looked tempting and I'm looking forward to coming back.

For starters, they speak minimal English here, so make sure to know some Spanish, be ready to point, or have Google Translate on hand. Within the Bandejo Paisa, the grilled skirt steak was thin and tough, a little hard to cut. The skirt steak was well seasoned though a bit too tough. The beans and rice? Oh, they were amazing! Not sure what's in them, but I did not see myself enjoying beans and rice so much. The slice of avocado and a fried egg were also delicious and unexpected, especially in the current times (*ahem* cost). Now for the plantain, it was enjoyable, but the main star of the show, the pork belly tasted candied, sticky, and reminded me of chincharrones. If you enjoy a fatty pork belly, then you'll definitely enjoy this main. Otherwise, you may stray away from it like I did. Overall, I think it was a good experience, but I wish that there was a more descriptive menu for those who don't know as much Spanish.
