   Food didn’t taste fresh and the kitchen was closing as soon as we reached at 9.30 but there was no such warning while we were making the reservation

   One of my pet peeves was when tables are sat very close to each other even when there are other tables available and when you pre-booked, here we were squished between two other couples and our tables were all about a foot away from each other which meant you could hear every conversation either side of you and it was hard to have a conversation. I also ordered starters and definitely said 'to start' but then it all came at the same time as our mains which is not what I intended and meant the meal was over very quickly. The food and cocktails themselves were pretty good though, and we even got a discount on cocktails by downloading an app (although this was a very confusing process; you couldn't order food through the app so had to order food and drink separately, and there were loads of steps to register and get your drinks so I think many people would've just given up).

   My friend and I booked a table for a dinner date at 9:15pm and we were really looking forward to it. We got there and our reservation wasn’t on their system. To top it off, the host informed us that they were only doing drinks as the kitchen had closed at 9 - this was not flagged up when we were making the booking. We travelled from a distance so I’m sure most people can imagine why this was very disappointing. We’ve previously been to run kitchen and really enjoyed it, food was great and music was a vibe - but this was quite upsetting.

   Service - friendly and welcoming Starters - absolutely delicious Main meal - dissapointing, I found tge RK jerk bowl dry and tasteless, a bit of a let down considering thectasty starters. The cocktails were good Overall, would definitely visit again

   Excellent food. I am not a lover of spicy food but this was absolutely lovely. I liked everything about the experience except the fact that it was very noisy due to the music - bear in mind the restaurant is located in a very lively spot of London, with many other restaurants surrounding this one and the court on the ground floor.

   Food was average but arrived very quickly. Drinks were good. Service was a bit slow. The 50% off food on Monday deal is a great deal though.

   Food was served very quickly, got the starters & mains together; Jerk chicken was lukewarm on arrival and didn’t have the authentic Jerk taste or kick I require, when I asked for hot pepper sauce, I was told they have none, very poor for a ‘Caribbean’ restaurant, Doubles were bland, the tastiest item ordered were the salt fish fritters, these I recommend. Service was good; Restaurant was very loud and sociable with a good Reggae music selection. Cocktails were decent. I wouldn’t return here, not as authentic a Caribbean taste as I would of hoped for.

   The starters were served at the same time as the main, which was surprising. They were both served before the drinks arrived. The meals lacked the West Indian spices which would be expected ( e.g scotch bonnet peppers)

    Good cocktails, service was a bit shoddy and high tables really uncomfortable. Happy hour well worth it and good music, wish the dj started earlier
