    I went last night with my cousin to this restaurant. This is a spot that is unique. It can be girls night out or a date night. I'm Jamaican American and love carribean cuisine. The food was chefs kiss. I began with wings ooooh i think it was red chili i asked for flats which they normally do not do but did it yesterday for me. They were finger licking delicious cooked just right and I'm picky with wings. I was in heaven, then we proceeded to order our entrees delicious once again. I had King Fish my cousin had the jerk salmon. Very large portions as we took some food home. Trust me this restaurant did not disappoint. The owner even came around and was very warm and friendly. They have a back room that he was so gracious to give us a tour for future party i want to plan. Top it all off they even had a dj and the music was good it just set the tone. I wish I would have taken pictures of the food to share. (I'll do so next time) go check it out thank me later

    Visited Bacchanal Junction recently. The place was very busy, but seating was handled in a reasonable amount of time. Drinks were okay and the atmosphere was lively. I’m Very disappointed with the pasta, the shrimp, and the overall food quality. The dish was dry, poorly prepared, and did not meet expectations. Service and atmosphere were okay, but the food was a letdown.

    For starters the venue appealed to me because they are a black / Caribbean owned business. Black owned restaurants with a nice sized event space are almost non existent. The price of the food can rub you as being a little pricy but don’t let that scare you because their chef is on point. I’ve been there on a few occasions I even had a catered event of about 30 people. I initially caught grief from some in my group because they did not know what to expect but after the event everyone in my group had nothing but praise for the food and staff at the Junction.

    The food was honestly just okay. There was a noticeable lack of consistency in flavor across several dishes, including the Rasta Pasta, Jerk Chicken, and Oxtails. That said, the King Fish was a standout and absolutely worth ordering; each bite revealed layers of spices that became more pronounced as you continued eating. The drinks, however, were well-crafted and definitely worth noting, offering a nice balance and complement to the menu. While the staff was knowledgeable, the service lacked warmth and personable engagement. The atmosphere is visually appealing upon entry and very photo-worthy at the front, but the ambiance becomes more subdued and less engaging as you move further into the space.
