Very popular with out-of-towners. What's there not to love? People talk!: "with crab is yum! Shrimp bisque is amazing!"~"Excellent Caribbean Atmosphere"~"whole menu is tasty" Coconut shrimp is..."

Always love the food here, never had a bad meal! Great service, management obviously cares a great deal. Sometimes it's a little dark inside, but weekends are awesome, you can see live steel drums

Food was great. had the grilled chicken ..AWESOME!! and tasted the jerk salmon...very nice. The waitress was on point, very helpful. The chef even came to see us (on request) turns out he is Jamaican!

Lobster bisque is too die for. Chunks of lobster in every bite, beautifully seasoned and just the right consistency. Crab cakes w/ mango salsa are also yummy and there cole slaw was fabulous.

Food is decent, but all priced a couple bucks beyond it's value (ex: $16 "feature" salads are iceberg lettuce - I mean, c'mon). Staff is the saving grace - super attentive. Ask for Ray!

They aren't sure how the $10 special got posted but its not valid. See Shannon (awesome dude) at the bar for great service and a cool atmosphere.

This is one of those places which should be more popular than it is. Good food, portions could be a bit better but they're decent. Unique menu items and pleasant atmosphere. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

It was pretty good. The Rumba salad was a little disappointing, but the fish was delicious and cooked really well. Awesome outdoor seating area as well. I'll be back.

Good atmosphere, boring menu. The seared tuna appetizer was great, only outstanding part of our meal. Also, no bar menu.
