    Sweet Jesus! This place was soooooo good. We stumbled on here actually when where we were planning to go was close. From the entrance, the hostess was friendly and kind. We were quickly seated and almost immediately greeted by our waiter. The food was phenomenal! My husband and I are both from the islands and have come to expect subpar jerk food at best however this place outdid themselves. Literally our new favorite spot in Deep Ellum. The drinks were phenomenal and the service even better. To top everything off, there are some cute backdrops in different parts of the restaurant that make it Instagram worthy. 10/10

    Nice experience for a good Saturday outing. We ended up not dining at the scout but rather had drinks and played games. It was not crowded due to the time we arrived. Perfect Sunday meet up spot.
