"First time here. Came early on a Friday and place was empty, great for us. Loved how it's decorated on the inside. Modern decor. Sat at the bar. Drinks were made quickly. Bartender was attentive and knows how to actually make drinks. Great happy hour special! Lemon drops were made to perfection and strong!! The chicken bites and calamari were tasty. The salmon was ok, a bit dry. Broccali, rice and skewers were really good! Our server was great. They had an erotic poet event that night which we didn't know about and it was sooooo fun! Loved the energy. I will be back for happy hour at some point soon. I do recommend to give this place a try."

"Wanted to go to a little lounge type spot to watch the NBA 3 point contest and Dunk contest. The drinks were made very well, tasted great, and there is a vast variety of alcohol to choose from. I ordered the Jerk Chicken skewers, as well, and the chicken was juicy and full of flavor. The staff was very professional, and did a great job on making sure I was comfortable. Definitely 10/10, will be coming back here for sure!"

"Whew!!! Bomb.com this place has some real good food & drinks. I’m so picky on oysters & calamari so I ordered both on purpose. They definitely passed with flying colors. They didn’t have me waiting long either. The drinks are also 10/10. I expect this place to be fuller & fuller every Wednesday."

"I wanted to take the time to give a detailed review because, like others, I check a restaurant’s reviews before visiting. We were a bit skeptical based on the reviews we saw but decided to give it a chance after seeing a few personal reviews on Instagram—and I’m so glad we did! Atmosphere: The décor was just the right touch—elegant but not over the top, perfectly fitting for the area. It wasn’t overly packed for a Friday night, which my husband appreciated. The old-school R&B playing in the background created a chill and inviting vibe that made the experience even better. Staff: Our waitress was exceptional—friendly, professional, and attentive from start to finish. I’m not usually a big tipper, but she went above and beyond, ensuring we were comfortable throughout our meal. She even updated us on how long our food would take, which is a rare but thoughtful touch. Drinks: I had two Amaretto Sours, and let me tell you, the bartender did her thing! I usually stop at one drink, but it was mixed so perfectly I had to get another. My husband had the Berry-Rum Collins and enjoyed it just as much. Appetizer: We both ordered the jerk chicken skewers, and they were juicy, flavorful, and seasoned just right. My husband especially loved the chef’s special jerk sauce on the side. Dinner: I had the Island Blaze Chicken, while my husband went for the Tropical Tango Sensation. Both meals were packed with flavor, and we appreciated the generous portion sizes—especially since many restaurants have started cutting back. The presentation was also impressive, making it feel like more than just a regular restaurant meal. Overall, we were thoroughly impressed and will definitely be back for more date nights!! Highly recommend checking out if you are in the area!"

"The service and vibes were excellent. You would be lucky to have Nia and Jasmine as your waitresses. The food was delicious and would recommend ordering the Jerk chicken skewers and the Ceviche as appetizers. For an entree I recommend the island blaze chicken. There working on some dessert cheesecakes and let me tell you. If they feature the key lime cheese you will be coming back for more."

The atmosphere is absolutely gorgeous, with elegant decor and a warm, inviting vibe that makes you want to stay for hours. The DJ was on point, setting the perfect tone and keeping the energy just right throughout the night. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and the overall experience felt effortlessly luxurious. A perfect spot for both special occasions and casual indulgence. Highly recommended!"
