Now, I have never had Caribbean food in a restaurant before, so I have no idea how this place stands up to others, but all I know is that the food in this place was beautiful. There was so much choice, I found it difficult to choose, but seeing as what I did go for (curried goat) was so nice,... More

My husband booked this highly recommended restaurant as a half-birthday treat. With a 70 mile trip home, hubby booked and confirmed a table for 19:00 via their website. Staff showed us to the table next to the door onto the street despite the almost empty restaurant. Although summer it was a dropping temp of 13°C and an ill wind. There... More

Trip advisor wouldnt let me publish my original reply... So I'll keep it brief! As the head chef I am also the owner, I manage/allocate the table reservations to ensure my business runs as smooth as possible. Moving you to another table was no issue at all. I'm glad you enjoyed your food, we were told you were allergic to... More

Went there tonight for a celebration meal. Friendly greeting and excellent service. I can recommend the belly pork starter it was delicious. Little things like actually cutting up the belly pork goes a long way with me. I had one of the best cooked steaks ever, very succulent and tasty. My fellow diners had jerk chicken (fairly spicy) and the... More

Rang ahead on a Thursday for my Saturday night booking to ensure they had my favourite spicy red snapper prior to booking, of which I was assured this was available. On arrival I ordered starters and a jug of rum punch. When I came to ordering main we were informed the red snapper was not available, I was particularly disappointed... More

Hi Crawford, It's Craig, we spoke at the end of your evening... as discussed if you ask for me when you phone up, I will personally ensure your requirements are met. None of our staff should promise any customers specials, as these are very limited and only done for the weekends. So I will make sure this never happens again.... More

My wife and I, went on a Saturday night for the first time and we can't wait to return! The food was delicious, the rum punch was punchy, the service friendly and the cost was respectable... An absolute gem of a restaurant!!
