    Delicious! Appetizer sampler was phenomenal and every single dish we ate is a 10. Kudos to our very lovely waiter who took the experience to the next level. Thank you so much for making my daughter's birthday memorable.

    Cavernous space that needs a lot of people to fill it but the food is terrific!

    It's been years since I've had good, authentic Jamaican food and this place did not disappoint. The waitress was extremely personable and the staff were respectful. The portion sizes made me feel like I was eating my Nana's food again.

    In town for the weekend Oregon does not have this and it was 🔥🔥 big up to the culture and the cook. Taste of Caribbean red lounge food was freaking amazing wish we would have found this hidden gem when we came up the first night. This is a must.

    The best Jamaican food I have tasted outside Miami! The curry goat, rice and peas, salad, plantains, and Jamaican patty was delicious! Next time I'm getting the curry chicken. Im sure it will be equally good. Highly recommended!
