  One of the best Jamaican restaurant I've ever been to as a New Yorker....Service is excellent plus the staff makes you feel at home.....now that's comforting

  The food here is some of the best Jamaican food in Florida. I ve dined at many Jamaican restaurants in Miami, Orlando and Tampa, this is my favorite one! They have really good jerk and fried chicken.

  We live 5 minutes away and for many years we drove past without stopping in, often driving 20+ minutes away for mediocre food from other popular Jamaican restaurants. We were blown away when we finally tried it for the first time about 6 months ago and have been regulars ever since. We dine in and order food to go and it is always fresh and flavorful. Their lunch special is perfectly sized for the price and the gravy is yummy. My only quip is the salad can sometimes have a bit more water in it than I’d like but at least I know it’s been freshly washed, it’s not that big a deal to me. When you dine in the presentation is impeccable. I’m always very happy when the food arrives at the table because the plates are beautiful you can tell the chef takes pride in his work. We just went again for dinner tonight and the food and drinks and hospitality was so wonderful I decided I must leave a (long overdue) review. The brown stew fish is to die for! I would lick the plate if I could and the fish is always fresh. Calamari was crispy, wings are always excellent I love the ginger in the bbq sauce. And the drinks! Boy! My husband and I are heavy-ish drinkers so we can be hard to please when it comes to drinks but I’m pleased to report that the cocktails are not lacking at all. One cocktail and my head was spinning (in a good way) and that says something. Like I said, im no stranger to Wray and his nephew lol. The hospitality from all the staff was excellent and we felt very welcome and not rushed even though we came close to closing time. This is a must try restaurant for anyone who appreciates good Jamaican food. Our only regret is we didn’t stop in years ago. This is our go-to spot now and the best part is it’s just down the road.

  Bad attention, there are people who work should have a uniform and be more proactive and stop using the phone and pay more attention to the public and diners.
