“The music was a throwback to the reggae of my HS basement parties – Shabba Ranks, Maxi Priest, where've you been?”
“As for food, I ordered the rasta pasta with chicken, my friends the oxtail with macaroni pie and jerk chicken with rice and peas.”
“All in all the ambiance was nice and authentic we felt like we were in Jamaica, they played authentic old school reggae music while you eat.”

Went for Sunday brunch. The banana pancakes were delicious just wish it was served in a bigger portion. Cheesecake dessert was good too but wish it was a larger serving size. The dinner menu looked really good and I definitely want to come back to try the seafood roti. Overall nice ambiance, the owner and waitress were very nice. Our food took a while so they gave us complimentary cocktails as we waited which was a nice touch. Would come back for dinner but not brunch because of the portions. Not too many Jamaican restaurants in Manhattan so I have to give this place another try.
I came by on a Tuesday night because my sister's friend invited her to "One Love Tuesdays," reggae party.
The space itself is a bit narrow, but cozy as is the top floor. The top floor is cool because it's like a little hideaway, bungalow where you can just relax, listen to some great music, turn down or turn up a little bit. The crowd was diverse and filled with laid back, unpretentious, professionals there to have a little fun and socialize on week night. Just my kind of vibe.
The drinks were strong and one drink in particular is quite the show at the bar: The Brown Sugar Cocktail. It's a fruity, spirited cocktail to the tune of rum and pineapple … set on fire. If you want a great video or photogenic drink. this would be the one. And it's tasty too. (Not too sweet at all!)
Definitely a good look if you're in the mood to kick back, relax and enjoy a cocktail.
This place has potential, the location is OK the atmosphere inside is nice, staff is very friendly, but the drinks are lousy!Absolutely lousy, pricey and watered down. Based on that alone I would never come back. We were small group who sat down and staff seems disconnected as far as getting our orders together. The music was really cool- from oldies to old skool, hip hop and reggae. Even the crowd was diverse and cool, But we could not get over the pricey watered-down drinks. I have no problem paying top dollar for a tasty cocktail but this place missed the mark with little effort. The food was ok, nothing memorable.
Good jamaican food- hard to find in NYC- get your jerk chicken (which is NOT that spicy if you can handle spicy) and brown stew chicken here. mixed drinks were made super strong the last time I was here. nice to eat al fresco with out door seating.
