The food looks, smells and tastes delicious! There are a variety of items on the menu that make me happy that they do not have their own delivery system! The cooks prepare and display the food just like the beautiful pictures. The service from the staff at the register is becoming more like the stereotypical Jamaican restaurant! It is feeling as though they have to be coerced into a greetings other than next rather than showing an appreciation that there is a line during a pandemic when most businesses are struggling to remain open. They are the only reason for a less than 5 star rating.
I ordered Jerk chicken pasta a few minutes before closing. When I got home the food was cold as if it was in the fridge. Pasta was cold and the chicken wasn’t jerk but instead baked with ranch dressing. I called the restaurant immediately and explained what happened, then they told me I must have gotten someone else’s food and I could come and get a freshly made order again. When I got there the cashier with the nastiest attitude ever, ignored me for approximately 3 minutes then put my food on the counter then head back to the kitchen, without an apology (Worst customer service). I then attempted to eat the second plate and it sadly once again cold! I decided to just warm it up and eat it anyways. When I took my plate out the microwave there was a weird smell like but I thought maybe it’s the sauce and I was starving!! I ate some and it tasted like raw baked chicken in Italian and ranch dressing! I couldn’t eat anymore because it was very distasteful!!! About 10 minutes later I had di
Wow was the food here nasty. Greasy, and chefs were joking around in the back and (no joke) laughing so hard i can hear them from outside the restaurant. definitely spitting all over the food. Nasty.
