Our waitress was warm and accommodating. Food was good. Enjoyed the jerk wings. Oxtail was great! Mac and Cheese a little deceiving no macaroni.... spaghetti noodles with smoked cheedar, you may like it. However I wasnt a fan. My friend ordered the red snapper it was a bit dry but the sauce that came with it was AMAZING!

Came here with a friend during a trip to Washington. The food was amazing! We tried the fried curry chicken and calamari, the best I have ever tasted. Our servers were super friendly as well! I will definitely come back if I am ever in Washington again and would recommend this place to friends!

Went here for brunch. Love the menu but needs bottomless Mimosas.

My girlfriend brought me here for my birthday and it was amazing. First, you're in an old firehouse, which is already awesome. Next, our server, Eric, was great and steered us to the right food and drink. I love whole deep fried red snapper and it was great. The brisket was the most tender I've had in DC and put actual BBQ/smokehouses to shame. The Mack and cheese was amazing. I basically want to live here. Highly recommend!

This is a Caribbean INSPIRED restaurant. Emphasis noted. Small-ish portions compared to what you would expect from a traditional Caribbean restaurant. The food was great and this place was really fancy! A little pricey but you get what you pay for. Wasn’t what I had expected but I was happy. The dressing on the salad was actually my favorite part! I always get teased for ordering a side salad but this time I think I lucked out!

The new decor is amazing. It's a good place for group outings.
The new menu has a lot of options to share. The calamari is my favorite!
We went right after work, around 5 PM.
The bar tender was okay. Forgot our orders couple times but maybe because there were too many of us.
They have a nice outside seating and I would imagine it would be perfect for evenings and late night outings. I haven't been that late yet.

By far my favorite find in 2018. From the sides to the drinks to the main course, everything was fantastic! If you come here, do yourself a favor and get the rum punch of the day and the oxacan oxtail. Such delicious dishes and the rice is nice and refreshing. Give this place a shot!

Love this place. Really nice people and amazing food. Fun twists and combinations. Love the sauces and dips. Definitely try the whole red snapper. Huge and awesome-one is enough for the whole table. Wings and brisket are also amazing. Dont skip the sides, they're worth it. Dessert is also fantastic and playful- popsicles, etc.

I came here for Sunday brunch. The food quality is excellent. I had coffee, the curry breakfast potatoes, French style scrambled eggs and the coconut French toast with lime curd. The French toast was my favorite! The wait staff were attentive. I’m not a fan of the A la carte style menu but I would still recommend the restaurant if you’re in the area. Total bill was $26.00 before taxes and tip.

Sometimes I cry thinking about how good that porkchop, kale, and mead was. I've only been once and am dying to go back. Our whole table shared bites of food and everyone was blown away by each dish. Our waiter was incredible, and went out of his way to make us feel welcome. The atmosphere is great. I highly recommend dining here.
