A great find - an odd location down a quiet street in Watertown but glad to have found it. Decor was bright and warm - perfect for a chilly winter night. We split the Mediterranean mezze plate and also tried the plantain appetizer - both were fantastic. Very different styles of food (Caribbean and Mediterranean) but everything was delicious. Service was so warm and welcoming. Definitely will be back!

This place is so good that I can back for a second time in a week. The first time, we had more of the Mediterranean food, the second time we chose the Caribbean food. Both were amazing.

This is a gem. Been going here for several years and find the menu and the chef and all who work there to be welcoming. Had a squash soup that was a meal in itself. Parking, by the way, is plentiful, easy and free. Enjoy.

Great food, we ordered the jerk chicken, the meat just fell off the bone and the chicken kababs which were also flavorful with great portions. Good cocktails and the service was nice and quick.
