Very little food in my plate for $34
I Ordered an oxtail meal and a drink for dinner. I trusted that they would do the right thing and did not open the bag until I got home! Big mistake….I was wrong. I was supposed to have 2 sides items. I chose plantain and got a very tiny piece of plantain… It was so small that it blended in with the cabbage. Then, the Mac and cheese LARGE portion did not even fill my spoon. It cost me $34 and I am super upset. I did not want to drive back to return the food and get my money back.
Customers, please be aware… don’t trust them… check your food before leaving …. The lady tied my bag so tight that I had to rip it open. It should have been a sign. I will NEVER go back there…. I feel like I was robbed in daylight. Absolutely mischievous.! Sad experience for a Caribbean restaurant in Jacksonville. I just really wanted to support the cause but, I was very disappointed. I will post photos later

What can I say? My son and I visited today. We were welcomed to Jamaica by Morteshia as we entered. I don't know exactly what we were expecting to see, but it certainly was not this spacious dining area, with a stocked bar behind the counter. The delicious food is cooked to order, so patience is needed. We had a great conversation with "Teshia", and drank a couple of Jamaican sodas while we waited. She presented each of the three entrees separately, and they were beautiful. They are as tasty as they are beautiful. According to the menu they cater, we ordered to go, but next visit, I want to sit and enjoy the full experience. Go visit and have some great food and great conversation.

The artwork inside was beautiful when I walked in. There was no one inside when I came in, I sat myself and waited 20 min before someone greeted me. I ordered my food and asked for a water and ginger beer. Food came 30 min later, which was fine, but I still never got a drink, so I asked again and got my ginger beer but no water. I got the brown stew chicken. It was tender and wasn't bad, but it wasn't to my liking. I found it salty and just not what I was looking for. Cabbage and rice n peas were ok. They also included a 16.5% gratuity to the bill, and it was just me. They no longer do happy hou, and I wish the cocktails had the items in the drink. If you're from South Florida or the island, you may not like i, but find out for yourself

The food took a bit long to prepare but it was really good! We ended up getting the jerk chicken and the oxtails with side of Mac and cheese. The chicken had a spicy smoked flavor and it was a dry rub. The oxtail was cooked very well, very tender. The Mac and cheese was a bit dry but had good flavor. Called the order in and it took longer than 20 minutes waited inside for about 15 and about 10-15 on the way there.

Shout out to my server Nikia! Very friendly, attentive, and helpful. Great interaction with the chef. The staff was very welcoming. DJ was jamming. The main event (the food) was good. It's the authentic Jamaican cuisine...jerk pork was extra spicy for me ....but flavorful. Check it out all you spicy lovers. Great vibes! Get your Happy Hour drinks!
