This restaurant was recommended to us so we're excited to try it. Service was ok, the lady was really nice. Food came out on time. My husband had curry fish, it was mediocre at best, not our imagination for curry. Rice was bland. I had grilled calamari, since they were out of conch. It was ok Chevy and not a lot of flavor. The plantains were bland and the coconut beans were sweet and didn't taste like coconut. We both had a really bad headache afterwards, suspecting the sauce had MSG in it. I would not recommend this place plus it was 42$ for lunch, with just bottled water.

Owner operated very good flavor and good sides with the meal. I had the 3 lobster tails for 25 dollars and my friend had the blackened snapper!

It has outdoor seating in a neighborhood not far from the beach but no beach view, but you don't go there for the atmosphere you go there for the food which is amazing and one of the locals favorite eating spots.

We went at around 7 pm on Saturday night and they close at 8 pm. It is a quaint, casual restaurant. They only had a few items left. We ordered shrimp curry and conch fritters & each dish came with 2 sides. The food was ok and pricey.
