From the OpenTable editors: It’s always island time at this laid-back Jamaican restaurant, which draws regulars for sensational jerk chicken and oxtail stew, best paired with a hibiscus mojito or two. There’s a popular back patio for the warmer months, but the tropical vacation vibes are just as strong indoors thanks to a lush, plant-lined dining room.

However, I didn’t get to enjoy this as much as we were cramped into a 2 seater table that really shouldn’t have been a spot. Our chairs barely fit to be pulled out against a cramped wall and the table was wobbling like crazy. The jerk chicken was the star alongside the slaw that was refreshing and brought the zing. Oxtail w rice was served in 2 separate bowls which seemed just odd not really like full entree (very pricy for a small bowl of mostly bones), I wish there was more beans to the rice. Plantains were a hit.
