Reviews

The only bad thing about this place is the SLOW service. You will wait 20 minutes to order a drink, 20 more minutes to order your food, food comes quick, waitress comes by 3 minutes later and then you will never see her ever again. The food and atmosphere were great!! They need to hire more wait staff, or better wait staff, or both. We almost walked out before even ordering and almost forced us to dine and dash because she never came back!

A bit loud with music playing. Comfortable chairs, waitress was pleasant and attentive. Ceviche was delicious and the jamaica was rich and delicious.
