Really nice restaurant with delicious food & great service. The cocktail menu alone is worth the detour with so many options & twists on classics to give it a tropical feel. The food was really good, like an elevated fusion caribbean comfort food. Our server Stevie was super nice & very accommodating. We were a group of 9 & he kind of made us a taste all menu. Very affordable feast :) Definitely recommend!

Excellente expérience entre amis. La poutine aménagée aux saveurs caribéennes est excellente. Les autres mets sont savoureux. Les cocktails épicés sont exquis & notamment avec beaucoup de cannelle qui se marie si bien avec le rhum. Le service est attentionné & ils ont le souci de bien faire. Une excellente adresse de quartier qui mérite de se faire un nom au-delà de RPP.

Cuisine délicieuse, breuvage unique & savoureux: tout fait maison. 🥰 S'adapte très bien pour le sans gluten & sans produit laitier. Possède même une friteuse dans une cuisine indépendante pour le sans gluten. Il remplace la farine de blé par de la farine de manioc dans certains plats. J'y retourne bientôt, c'est certain!!! On a adoré!!!!
