We ordered snapper fish w/fries & it was delicious. The party vibe was also great. Saturdays the place is overcrowded but get there early & secure ur spot. U'll be fine. Nice west Indian spot

I’m jamaican & a chef so when I tell you it’s a nice vibe it’s a nice vibe! The food is delicious especially the jerk - how they get so smoky and juicy is impressive when there’s no “jerk pan” in sight. The music is fantastic and its a nice respectful mixed crowd after midnight . Dj Friday & Saturday night is definitely fun! And the Bartenders are cordial and happy to serve u up some Carribean hospitality- no attitude ! You can go casual or bring your hotness fashion if u like ! Glad it’s local & worth it.

This is just a great hang out spot. Me and my friends go here every time we visit Brooklyn you can hang out and get some great food in the process. Man we stayed till the club closed so fun. Thanks Chef Tony the food we ate was off the chain definitely going back. this NYC so parking can be tricky when the lot gets full I dont care I took a uber after I parked my truck to go hang out.

It was great, I've been here a couple times, but beware if your surroundings , left my bag to go purchase a drink, however someone went into bag and took one of my credit cards. Just careful, females pretend to talk to you and distract you.

One FridayMe and my fiance was looking for A "Bar" that we could call our own.Several bars did not make the cut . The bartender "Misha" on that shift won us over. She made the perfect "Screwdriver" for my fiance and the comfortability and hospitality was awesome. there always make us feel comfortable. Along with the existing everyday customers, they also make you feel welcome. Kind of give you that family feeling. The seafood soup was once Elite, but now it seems they take the cheap way out and it's more yucca than seafood but the rest of the food is awesome.I gotta have my Ox Tails with Pasta and one Friday became every Friday.Facts!

This neighborhood rum bar is the best hidden gem in a undeserved community. It promises welcoming environment, tasty traditional Caribbean food and indoor and outdoor dining. The rum punches are strong the beers are ice cold and the food is prepared fresh. I'll always come back here no matter the day no matter the time it's always the right time to visit and stop by to say hi
