A must try!! The food was absolutely amazing. The jerk chicken tacos is probably the best food we've ever had. Service was attentive & friendly. Atmosphere of this place is really great. Cocktails, food, & atmosphere make you feel like you are in an upscale luxury restaurant. Everything is made very fresh & the tapas style menu is a perfect way to try everything because everything is truly delicious. Will recommend this place to any & everyone, it's a hidden gem.
Visiting from NYC & was hoping to have some Caribbean food on our last night in Montreal.
Unfortunately, we did not have a good experience here. The service was extremely slow & unorganized. We waited about an hour just to receive our drinks & about an hour & a half for our food.
When the food finally arrived, the portions were very small for what we were expecting. My oxtail came with a small scoop of rice & only about four pieces of oxtail, & unfortunately, the oxtail was extremely salty. My sister-in-law said the jerk chicken was good, & my husband enjoyed the Rasta pasta, so there were a couple of positives.
The service was the biggest issue. Our food was initially brought to another table, placed in front of them, & then picked back up & brought over to us. Everything just seemed very disorganized. There also appeared to be people who were hanging out at the restaurant helping serve food, which was a little concerning.
Overall, the experience was disappointing, especially considering how long we waited. The restaurant has potential, but the service & organization definitely need improvement.
We will never be back but wishing the best to the restaurant.
Tacos were the best I've ever had! Oxtail was great & the jerk was delicious but I would've loved it more with some of the more traditional spice. Definitely coming back next time!

Nous sommes venu à 19h puisqu'il était écrit que cela ouvrait à 18h & pourtant nous devions revenir 30min plus tard. Cela devrait être corrigé. Les pâtes au crevettes étaient correct mais un peu froide. Le griot & le poulet jerk étaient bon. Dans l'ensemble c'était bien mais pas wow.
10/10 would definitely recommend staff is attentive & sweet & food is immaculate !! For first time in Montreal I would definitely recommend :) the chef Shaq is an amazing cook everything is very well cooked & seasoned
When I got there no one said hello, they where just staring at me. J'ai du moi-même les approcher & leur dire que j'avais une réservation. Je m'assoie on ne me donne pas d'eau. L'ambiance à l'intérieur était sombre & le staff n'était pas professionnel. La gérante non plus. Pour le prix ça ne vaut pas la peine, car tu sors de là-bas & tu as faim. Pour terminer, on a demandé des mocktails & on a reçu de cocktail 🤦🏽?♀?🤦🏽?♀?🤦🏽?♀?🤦🏽?♀?🤦🏽?♀?🤦🏽?♀?🤦🏽?♀?. C'était la dernière fois que je mettais les pieds dans cet endroit. Je suis profondément déçu.
Nous sommes arrivées à 20h45
Personne n'est venu nous expliquer le menu
À 21h45 la manager est venue nous expliquer que la cuisine allait faire une pause de 15 min pour se réorganiser (alors que le restaurant n'était pas plein)
Elle revient une vingtaine de minute plus tard pour prendre nos commandes & une bonne parties des items dont du plantain frit par exemple n'étaient plus disponibles.
Quand on lui demande combien de temps ça va prendre elle nous dit 10 min
Nos plats sont arrivés à 22h47 & surprise un des plats commandés n'étaient pas disponible.
Bref manque d'organisation & de professionnalisme.
La musique est forte, les toilettes sont sales & on se paye votre tête 😊
I visited the restaurant this Friday & had a really good experience. The food was very tasty & packed with delicious flavours. It did take a little while for the food to come out, which is understandable as the restaurant was completely full from the back to the front, even around the bar. The cocktails were delicious & well balanced, but definitely creepers lol.
I was invited to an R&B event in the speakeasy after dinner, which was a really nice touch. Unfortunately, I was wayyyyy too full to go, but I'll definitely have to check it out next time!
However, if I had one suggestion, it would be to add more toilet stalls for such a large crowd. I had to wait both times I went to use the bathroom. Other than that, I'll for sure be back!
First thing the food was off the charts. They have great food & I will not say no 10/10. The reason the 2 star review is mostly service. Everyone's nice but they have a really bad service flow. Almost 45 min until someone acknowledged us at our table to bring water or even ask what we wanted. Food came out pretty quick after that but we ordered another tapas, mind you tapas shouldn't be so hard to make especially if they even'Recommend' 2-3 for each person. Never received it. They forgot the drink & then ask us if we wanted the bill another 30 min after never getting our last tapas. Overall time was about 2.5 hours of just wasting time waiting. Food is good if you have the most time in the world. Please improve the workflow, would love to go again.
