Our niece recommended that we come here. So disappointing. Where do I start… we drove from Berkeley thinking that we were gonna have a great experience, but to our disappointment the food was disgusting. We ordered two supposedly succulent and falling off the bone chicken wings plates which were clearly just party wings out of a frozen bag and tossed in some sauce after fried. We also ordered the oxtail dinner which was under seasoned and whatever that coleslaw stuff is on top you guys should stop it. I had the vegan plate which was at the very least mediocre and my plantain was sour and clearly past it’s days. We ordered the island bread which looked very good online, but when we got home and open the box it was just Hawaiian dinner rolls which were a bit burnt and without any garnish as presented on the online menu. What’s funny is when we got home a neighbor was barbecuing and her food was better than this! OK…so there you have it. If you eat at his place just be ready to be disappointed. Terrible and nauseating. Never eating here again. And her stomach hurts.

This place is wonderful. I had the vegetarian stew and I've had it before. But they have a new recipe and it's seasoned so well, it's pretty, lol, and it's a huge portion. I do wish that they had more vegetarian dishes, but they always have new things on the menu when I come, which is a plus and I love that they do that. Nathaniel was my server tonight, very attentive & knowledgeable of the menu. He also suggested great drinks from the bar that I really enjoyed. He has great customer service and went above and beyond to make sure I was a satisfied customer. Great sense of humor as well. The bartender; Joshua makes a great Margarita Colada. That sweet potato Cheesecake tasted so good I could have ordered a whole one lol. Outside dining includes heated lamps too.I highly recommend this place

Wow, y’all, this place was awesome! Good vibes galore! The chef brings unique and fun flavor to classic seafood dishes. The crab, in particular, came in an incredible savory garlic sauce-would recommend ordering the bread as a side to take full advantage. We had an awesome dinner here, complete with good vibes from the whole staff! Highly recommend for a casual but nice seafood dinner downtown

Sunday brunch was tasty and different. The Chefs creative blend of American classics and his childhood NYC Dominican foods brings a fresh twist his seafood creations. This restaurant has a mention in the Michelin food guide! I did not give it 5 stars only because the menu online was different from what was available upon arrival. The menu changes more often than what I thought as he serves fresh local foods by the season. So the dish I was expecting was not available but I will call first to make sure before driving an hour to get there.
