    Amazing dining experience. The food, drinks, vibes, and ambiance. Drinks are strong and price low compared to other similar spots Upscale carribean dining. The Cove Shrimp is a must. Your tastebuds will thank you. Large portion size, definitely get your money’s worth. Although on a smaller scale the design is such you don’t feel cramped and there is ample space between you and other customers. Enjoyed everything ordered will definitely return to sample other items.

    Wait staff took a long time to come and initially greet the table when we were seated. Our actual cocktails ordered came out before the waters. As someone who works in the hospitality industry this was the biggest turn off. We had to ask our server Jayden for water and it was quickly brought over to us. Floor was not busy as well so very unsure of why that was. Currently on the fence on returning. Service is a big part of the experience and this wasn’t great for us. Food was great! We ordered calamari and mango spicy wings for our appetizers. Best calamari I’ve had in a while. Everything tasted amazing and portions were a great size. We were full even before finishing off our meal.

    Hosted an earlier business dinner. Atmosphere & ambience did not disappoint. Food was well seasoned. Waitress was pleasant and accommodating. Drinks were my favorite. Why would establish as such not serve tea or coffee ???? ?

    We waited several minutes to be seated while the greeter was on the phone on a personal call. We then waited another 10 to 15 minutes for a waiter to come to our table. The waiter took several minutes to come to the table and then came with a really unfriendly attitude.. They didn’t have the food that was on the menu. Also, they did not bring the rice portion of my meal. I had to ask for an I had to ask for the rice three times, and they did not arrive until my guest and I will finish eating the rest of the food and not find a rise portion of my life I had to ask for it several times. the race was not brought until it was time for me to go I did not get to eat rice with my meal. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone..

    The service was poor, two of our orders received were incorrect. The food came out one by one after waiting about 50 minutes. The drinks were not strong. Our table was charged a $40 gratuity fee, we believe was not deserving. I must say the food was delicious ,this will be the only reason why I would recommend the restaurant.

    The ambiance was romantic and the food was good. But wait staff need to be more attentive. We sat their for a while waiting for our drinks and then when I wanted a 2nd drink it took a while. It wasn’t packed for it to take that long. I have had better wait staff serving us.

    We had a reservation and we’re seated right away. However, it took the server over 10 minutes to come introduce herself and take our drink orders. While the couple behind us, sat down well after us and received what seems like immediate service. When she finally came to us, she said she was new and had to ask another worker for help to figure out the tablet to complete the ordering process. We put in the appetizer and entree orders together since we had enough time to decide. The entree came out before the appetizer. We completely finished the entree and still waited 10 more minutes before the appetizer finally came out. Although everything tasted great, service was terrible.

    Ambiance was spectacular. Food was delicious and well prepared. The place was clean and immaculate. Drinks are good, the real deal. Server, Mario is handsome and attentive. We went there to celebrate my birthday and we did not regret it. Black own business. Music was great. Only con, I feel they should tell you if you pay cash you get a discount. Our bill plus tip was 722.00 for party of 9 including myself. You get a 22.00 discount if pay cash. Other than that I'll definitely be returning with my gang.

    We got seated right away. Our waiter took a while before he came to ask for our order. After we ordered it took like almost and hour when someone from the kitchen came out to tell us that there ran out of the appetizers we ordered. He offered us something else that was available but we didn’t want it. Our main course came out like 30 minutes after. The food was amazing but we waited almost 2 hrs before we got it. We will give them another try and hopefully we get served quicker. The place is clean and inviting. The vibes is worth subscribing to. The Dj played great music. Even after the food misshaped we left there wanting to go back.

    The quality of the food was amazing! I ordered roti with curry shrimp and enjoyed it. My friend ordered brown stew escovitch fish and the flavor was delicious. The rasta pasta was soooo delicious and the broccoli was crunchy and well seasoned. I had some codfish fritters which were okay but would have tasted a lot better if they added more codfish. The sole issue my friends and I had was that it took 1 hour for the server to bring our food.

    I was recommended this restaurant by a family member for Brunch we had such a good time. They have such good food and their Brunch menu comes with a big rhum punch. The music was good but not too loud it was perfect and we was a larger group. The manager was so nice she even charged my phone for me. Def highly recommended

    There was no communication at all by any staff members. No hostess available to greet or direct consumers. Waited almost an hour WITH RESERVATION for someone to finally ask if anyone standing (more than 15 people were standing at the front, small cramped space) had a reservation or not. When finally seated, we were asked to move WHILE EATING in order to accommodate a larger group. Unacceptable. Food was good and so were the drinks. I honestly feel bad for the waiters who are seemingly overworked and take the brunt of the complaints. Will never come here again.

    We came for dinner around 830pm (with a reservation). They close at 10pm. But in the middle of us eating our food (around 930), they turned the lights on and stopped the music to clean up. I’ve never experienced a restaurant doing that while customers were still enjoying their meal. That took me back. Food was good and ambiance was good until the mood was rudely interrupted. When we asked the waiter to mention our feelings to the manager , he said he cannot.

    Celebrated my sister’s birthday here. The experience was awesome. Parking around the area is easy to find. Once we entered we were greeted and seated promptly. The music wasnt too loud, they had games on the tv, the restaurant is beautifully put together. Our waitress Lisa was wonderful, very friendly, attentive and kind. The drinks were great, food was amazing — everything came out in a timely manner. One of the best West Indian dining experiences and the pricing was reasonable. Overall 10/10.
