Booked our reso for the Christmas theme as a pre holiday friends gathering and was very excited to give it a try.
People are absolutely lovely, all the staff we encountered were helpful and friendly. The decor is exactly what you want for a casual Christmas gathering.
Cocktails were fun, priced nicely and and good variety. Staff were happy to make suggestions and the ability to purchase the perfectly kitschy cute glassware (like Santa as a mermaid) was a nice touch!
Where this fell down for me was the food. We ordered a variety of items to share off the limited menu. The Beef patty is the highlight - crispy, spicy, would absolutely order again. The Doubles were a close second, not traditional but very flavorful. The plantain chips arrived at our table like a bowl full of crumbs at the bottom of a chip bag - just a pile of tiny broken pieces, they were ok but difficult to eat as intended which is a shame as the dipping sauce was good, but tough to use with just crumbs to dip.
We ordered the oxtail curry and short ribs to share between us all and both were a huge letdown. The ‘curry’ was the blandest thing I have ever eaten, which was a bummer, was really hoping for a flavorful plate. The ribs were in a sauce that was sooo sweet it overtook everything - no other real flavor to accompany, just sweet. The ribs were Cooked really well, super tender, falling off the bone, but the rice & beans underneath were so soaked in the sweet sauce it was tough to eat. We did enjoy the roti.
I would like to return in the new year to try the regular menu and cocktails, but we all agreed the food left us a little disappointed.
