Lucia is gorgeous! The space is stunning and the vibe was on point from the moment we walked in. The craft cocktails were hands down the highlight of the night. My absolute favorite was the oxtail-infused old fashioned. Our bartender was the bar director who created the drink menu, and she described it as rich, beefy and bold but approachable, which is exactly what it was. Do yourself a favor and try this! The shado beni Eastside was super fresh and herbaceous and I could've easily had a few more. And the Tamarind & Collins? Delicious! Cinnamon, chili, mezcal, and Red Stripe beer somehow all balanced beautifully. We also tried a few bar snacks that were super flavorful, though I personally wished less of them were fried. Still, solid bites. Especially the coconut fried chicken and plantains. We were disappointed the full dinner menu was not available so she surprised us with their signature off menu house shot, which was a version of a strawberry daiquiri. It looked like a clear pour of rum, but tasted like a rum strawberry shortcake. So good. Definitely planning to come back soon to try more of the drinks and will probably get a reservation next time so I can dive deeper into the food. Highly recommend!

Incredible service, food, and vibe!! I loved the Tuna Tartare and the Snapper both were 10/10!! The Mac was also amazing and the plantains were yum. Perfect for a girls night.

Amazing vibe, great staff, wonderful food. Would definitely come back a million times!

I finally was able to stop by and check this place out. I saw it as it was being developed and it was designed beautifully. The Ambience?!- 10/10. It was dimly lit with a romantic undertone, but had a live DJ spinning amazing music with crazy mixes. We tried the house strawberry daiquiri shots- 10/10! Then I ordered the Mai tai- 10/10 again! Surprisingly strong for such a small drink. The foods are all shareable, so I would suggest everyone ordering something different so you can sample multiple things. I really wanted to order the coconut fried chicken, but it wasn't available. Our waitress let us know they make menu swaps every couple of weeks. I ordered the grilled snapper instead. Lychee ceviche - 9/10. Very flavorful. Very different from the usual ceviche. Definitely worth a try. Plantain- 10/10. Amazing seasoning. Probably the best I've had. Steak- 8.5/10. Perfectly cooked and tender. Jerk chicken- 9/10. I'm not usually a fan of jerk chicken, but this version was really good. We ordered the half chicken. Grilled Snapper- 9/10. This was great. I enjoyed that there was a spinach surprise and the coconut sauce was good. I liked the texture of the snapper too. We were so busy having a good time, that I didn't get any pics (sorry)... but I will definitely be back.

This place has a cute vibe. But come for drinks dont eat. If you're looking for a Caribbean spot, this isn't it. I had the pepper pot, the Trinny mac & cheese, the jerk chicken, the plantains, and the shrimp toast. plantains three out of ten stars Shrimp toast, three out of ten Mac & cheese three out if ten stars Jerk chicken don't waste your time . Tastes more like barbecue sauce with herbs. The pepper pot looks cute meat with decent but not worth the price . Nothing tasted Caribbean . Service was decent. Bathrooms are clean, and they have a nice attendant.

Jesse our server was the sweetest and took care of our table of 10! The best things food wise I tried was the grilled snapper, grilled corn, the plantains, and the waygu patties but these were VERY SPICY & my table agreed. Ambiance was nice and it was very busy in there. There was also a DJ playing some good vibes music.

I passed this restaurant the other day in the car and had to find out what it was. It's the new kid in the block and it's simply gorgeous inside. The vibe feels upscale and elevated. The food looks delicious and tastes even better. I got the coconut milk bread, fried chicken, and Mac and cheese. All so delicious, especially the fried chicken. The mocktail I got was okay -- in general most mocktails aren't that impressive for some reason. We waited about an hour at the bar for our table but it passed by fast. We just sipped on our drinks and people watched; there were so many beautiful people everywhere. The service was also kind and attentive. I found Lucia to be a great place to grab dinner and drinks!

Made it back for a second time!! I can honestly say I still am in love with the vibe!! It's what L.A needed. Lucia continues to deliver the perfect balance of ambiance, delicious food, and sexy! I ordered the Waygu Patties of course followed by the croquettes. Tons of flavor!! This time I tried the grill snapper and was extremely happy I did!! It comes with a hot curry sauce that they pour onto your freshly prepared fish. Get your camera ready for video if you wanna post on the gram! The crowd watching is my favorite! Lots of beautifully dressed people and smelling amazing! It's becoming a scene since it's the freshest new spot on this side of town. Book a table for a date night, go with your girls, or hang with one of your boys.... It's a great place for any adult occasion! You're welcome!! #_friendzAndFood #Lucia #ToniAndTheTwins

What a delicious and pleasantly different menu to the LA scene! Lucia is beautiful. It's perfectly dim with great large booths. The food was wonderful! I highly recommend getting the coconut milk bread and the shrimp toast. Those two will be living rent free in my head for some time. The trini mac and cheese was also amazing. Service was great. Our waiter was very nice and helpful and the wait staff overall were on it. Highly recommend checking out!

Lucia is the fine dining Caribbean experience weho had been WAITING FOR. When I tell you the vibes were immaculate, with a stunning interior, gorgeous and attentive waitstaff, the most innovative cocktails, and food that is so nuanced and delicious. Coconut bread - so different and delicious Pepper Shrimp toast - one of our favs! Crunchy, umami Wagyu patty - an upscale twist on the classic Coconut fried chicken - I usually don't love fried chicken but let me tell you this was so airy and perfect and light, and a huge portion size! Grilled snapper - a must order, that coconut butter is something I want to SWIM in , recommend asking for a little extra on the side! Jerked steak - sooo much umami, jerk spices were perfect Agave pina colada - defies the eye as it looks like water with a pineapple in it, but oooh my the light refreshing pineapple flavors! Passionfruit jungle bird - another favorite of the night, on the sweet side with so many interesting flavors and topped with soursop foam that I also want to swim in. Sticky pudding - the sauce is sweet but the cake is not, so you can add sauce to your liking! We were greeted by Toni, the AGM, and not only is she STUNNING but also she was so gracious and welcoming. We also got to meet Alysa who was soooo nice and brought amazing energy to the dinner. Bryan, our server, took such great care of us, and checked on us multiple times. He gave great recommendations and was super sweet. Dale, Bianka, and CA also gave great recs and we LOVED our cocktails!!! They have a dress code, so make sure you look nice. There is valet parking out front but also metered parking if you can grab one. 100 percent will be back.

I only came for drinks. I'll update this when I try the food which is Afro Caribbean cuisine. The ambience has a very elevated a grown and sexy vibe to it. I'm not sure if they have a DJ there every night they're open, but they had one on this particular night. The interior design of this place is amazing from the booth to the bar area the layout was really thought out. My friend and I sat at the bar our bartender was Dale gave us different cocktails suggestions for the first one we asked him to surprise us and wow it was delicious. The whole staff was friendly and attentive from the bartenders and servers to the general manager, who came around to make sure everyone was OK. I highly recommend checking out whether for dinner or just going to have drinks.

Had the best night at Lucia! The vibe was immaculate--great energy, amazing food, and a DJ spinning which kept the whole place feeling alive. Our server Kennedy was so sweet and super knowledgeable--she gave great recs and took such good care of us. Alyssa, the GM, even stopped by to check in, which was such a nice touch. We ordered a little bit of everything: coconut milk bread with thyme butter (a must), spring greens, Trini Mac pie, loaded rice & peas, Wagyu patties, and coconut fried chicken that was out of this world. Drinks were on point too--we tried the Tamarind "Collins", Lychee "Margarita", Passionfruit "Jungle Bird", Masala "Moscow Mule", and of course, some champagne to celebrate. 10/10 would come back. The whole night felt like a good time with great food. Highly recommend.

I could go on and on about how much I loved Lucia but I'll keep it simple--Absolutely delicious food and one of my favorite dining experiences ever! Every single item was exquisite and cooked to perfection. The menu is innovative while also being simple and giving you Caribbean classics. The ambiance was perfect, cocktails were well made and refreshing, the DJ was AMAZING, and the space is stunning. The host stand staff were all so friendly and our waitress was warm and attentive. I loved this place so much!

beautiful restaurant. great service. fun music. but the food was just okay. we spent around $300, got quite a few dishes, and left quite disappointed. best dish in our opinion was the shrimp toast. the drinks made the night better - and would be the main reason we come back. The service was top tier, getting checked on often despite how busy it was. the water was also constantly getting filled which was great. dress code seems to be strict. I wasn't aware and didn't see anything on the website about no sneakers (and sadly wore sneakers) but was just told that next time that no one should be in any type of sneaker. overall decent experience - would come back for drinks!

We were lucky enough to have dinner at Lucia last Saturday. I'm pretty sure it will only be getting tougher and tougher to get a reservation, as they are really firing on all cylinders. Yes, it has an incredible and unique design. It feels like a super chic pop-up lounge was dropped into an industrial warehouse. There are giant clamshell banquets, and a massive sculpture/structure that serves as the bar, and there is a DJ... and that's all cool, but if the food didn't deliver none of that would matter and this place would be forgotten. But the food does deliver. However, before the food, the cocktails need to be mentioned. They're fantastic. While they put twists on drinks (such as the Okra Martini, the Oxtail Old Fashioned, Chado Beni Eastside, and more) none of it is gimmicky or heavy handed. All the drinks (and among our group of 4 we tried and got to taste at least 6) make sense and are well balanced and layered. Oh and quick shout out - the service was excellent. Professional and attentive. Pleasant and friendly. Obviously they're turning tables, but we never felt pressure. The food is great. It's unique but familiar. Refined yet comforting. I'm not going to say every dish was a home run, but the overall experience was incredible. You might look at my notes and wonder why it was still 5 stars, but I do think while a few dishes weren't perfect the cumulative effect of this meal was top level. Our meal: Coconut Milk Bread - Fantastic. The Thyme butter is packed with flavor and the bread is soft and delicious (but don't skip the butter) Saltfish & Figs Croquette - I remember enjoying eating it and then pretty much immediately forgetting it. I know the dipping sauce packed flavor, but if you told me there was no sailfish or fig in that little fried ball I would believe you. It could basically have been a nice hushpuppy (which I like, but not what we ordered) Waygu Patty's - DO NOT SKIP. We almost didn't get this and that would have been a huge mistake. They are incredible and each sauce take this dish on a different ride (both delicious rides) Shrimp Toast - I went around and around on this. It was the dish I was most excited about, and I have to say it let me down a bit. I think like the croquette the deep frying left it just a bit greasy and therefor the shrimp, pepper or even the aioli flavors were pretty much lost. Spring Greens - It was a nice salad. Actually appreciated as a bit of bright and light between some heavy and fried dishes, but I don't think I'd order again. It was a nice salad. Coconut Fried Chicken - DO NOT SKIP. This was the dish I wake up thinking about. So many things done right. Impossibly crispy. Bursting with flavor and in such a weird little way the MVP of this dish are these little bits of fresh dill that seem to perfectly cut through the richness. Oxtail Pepper Pot - Yeah, I would say do not skip on this too, if not for the chicken taking that top spot for me. For as impossibly crispy as the chicken was, the oxtail was impossibly rich. I think by this time we were all pretty full and we could only take a few bites. But it's oxtail done right. Overall highly recommend and look forward to returning.

Lucia was a whole vibe!!! From the dim lighting to the well-curated music, this spot instantly sets the mood. It's the kind of place that feels sexy and upscale without being pretentious. It's perfect for a date night or a dinner with friends. The service was attentive, and I appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the experience. from the cocktail presentation to the plating. The flavors were bold and well-seasoned, true to authentic Caribbean cuisine but elevated with a modern twist. The oxtail was tender and rich, and the fried plantains had the perfect balance of sweet and crisp. My only downside: I do wish the portion sizes were a bit more generous, especially given the price point. The Wagyu patties specifically were so tiny! The food was amazing, but for the cost, I expected just a bit more. Still, I'd definitely come back. maybe for drinks and appetizers at the bar or just a night out. Lucia hits the mark on ambiance, music, and flavor ... just go in knowing you're paying more for the experience.

Atmosphere, food, vibes 200/10 The DJ plays great music Service was amazing I love it here. I will be back.

Came in last Friday (6/13/25). Had a reservation for 6:30pm. Was seated immediately as it was not crowded at all. Beautiful decor, great music playing in the background, spacious bar area, nice vibe, attentive service and delicious food. Very upscale with a few celeb sightings. Spring greens - yum Wagyu pattys - super tiny but tasty Trini Mac pie - disappointing. Lacked flavor and cheese Loaded rice & peas - yum Oxtail pepper pot - about 5 good size tender and flavorful pieces Grilled snapper - very good! Sweet potatoes dessert - the salted Carmel sauce made it good Lychee drink (forgot name) - but good! Loved the lychee balls Scotch bonnet hot sauce - homemade and yummy Cute date spot or to hang with friends! They do have valet parking as parking in this area is challenging. @travel_lifestyle_chow

We had an amazing time trying this new restaurant. Our server Kennedy was excellent -- attentive, polite, and quick with our orders. She went above and beyond to make our dining experience enjoyable. Food was really good. I love the Jerk Steak and Lychee Ceviche! Beautiful place for a date

I really want to love this place. I have family from the Caribbean and the Caribbean is nostalgic for me. I was excited to experience their take on Caribbean food and vibe. Having worked in the restaurant industry, I know it's takes some time to get it flow but there was a lot to be improved upon at Lucia. What is working: the decor is beautiful. The cocktails were solid. The host working Sunday evening was wonderful- he was so warm and apologetic for the delay. Some of the dishes were excellent- we enjoyed the cod croquettes, the rice and beans, the greens and the fish. What needs improvement: Though we had a reservation, it still took 40 minutes for us to be seated! The food is very pricey for what you're receiving. Our desert took around 30 minutes after ordering. The dessert menu needs some up leveling. It was missing the birthday candle- we were celebrating my dear friend. 20 minutes after getting our desert, the one with the candle arrived- so the communication in the kitchen is off. Lastly, it feels like a club atmosphere- it was way too loud for dinner. It was very difficult to converse. There's a DJ which is fine but I still need to be able to talk and connect with those at the table. I love R&B (which is what they were playing) but there was little to no Latin music (in a Caribbean restaurant). Just my two cents for improvement for an excellent experience.

My partner and I recently checked out Lucia on Fairfax and honestly, I was really hoping this would finally be the high-end Afro-Caribbean dining spot LA needs. The ambience is absolutely amazing--gorgeous space, great energy, and the vibe is on point. The drinks were also pretty good and definitely added to the experience. But when it comes to the food, we were really disappointed. With the exception of the shrimp toast (which was actually delicious), everything else we tried were extremely mediocre. The rice and peas were salty, ox tails were bland, the coconut chicken was average and the coconut bread...nothing special. I've had much better at high end Caribbean restaurants in New York and Miami, so I was expecting more. Overall, I wouldn't go back for the food, but if you're looking for a spot with a great vibe and decent drinks, Lucia is worth a visit. I just wish the food lived up to the setting--unfortunately, it misses the mark for me.

Honestly, I wish I'd have taken more photos of the food but I ate it too fast. This is hands down the most creative and uniquely flavorful meal I've had in LA. I'm obsessed and will for sure be a regular. The vibes, the staff, especially Shelby, are on another level. Beautiful people, amazing food, great drinks and chill turn up. Highly recommend.

Lucia was such a great experience! My favorite dishes: shrimp toast, coconut chicken, that mac. Tried so many things on the menu...can't wait to get back to try more.

TLDR; Good to start the night... have a drink and enjoy the music... but do NOT stay to eat. I will say they got the music, vibe, and drinks down great. It seemed like they had this goal of curating an afro-centric sophisticated space and I feel they achieved that. The drinks were also so good., What I didn't like however is entering the restaurant felt like going through a bouncer to get to a club. The moment we stepped up to the place we see a black rope blocking the entrance and a security man blocking it asking us questions before we can even talk to the host... 'do you have a reservation'.. 'whats the name under' 'what time is the reservation' etc. it gave me 'is your name on the list' vibes and was not a nice start to a very expensive meal we were about to have. Our awesome waiter though made up for it a bit. Now on to the food..... unfortunately I won't be coming back to eat here. The food was sooo mediocre. Maybe the one thing with enough flavor was the rice and peas? But the plantains the jerk chicken the mac n cheese pie the croquettes all were so insanely bland. They're trying to give this upscale energy so of course the plates are tiny like bird food ($30 for 3 'pattys' that combined don't even make up half of 1 single real patty is ridiculous) but most importantly they weren't good. So you leave hungry and you leave unsatisfied. Do yourself a favor.. save your coins and go to some other jerk spot. Or start the night here then go somewhere where you'll really enjoy your meal. In this economy it just don't make sense to be spending all this money on some unseasoned, un flavorful non enjoyable food.

Absolutely phenomenal experience -- 5 stars isn't enough for this Afro-Caribbean gem in LA! From the moment you walk in, the vibe is electric. The DJ was spinning the perfect blend of afrobeats, dancehall, and R&B that instantly set the mood -- finally, a spot in LA that knows how to create a full experience, not just serve food. Every dish was a knockout. The plantains were sweet, golden perfection with just the right crisp. The coconut fried chicken? Unreal. Crispy, juicy, with a tropical twist that had us licking our fingers. The lychee ceviche was refreshing, bold, and beautifully balanced -- a tropical dream on a plate. And an honorable mention that deserves its own spotlight: the shrimp toast. So good it should be illegal. Crunchy, savory, and packed with flavor. If you're looking for a place that feeds your soul, your stomach, and your love for good music -- this is it. LA desperately needed this kind of energy and flavor, and it delivered hard. I'll be back. Again. And again.

It is a beautiful restaurant. The space feels high end, the music was great, and the overall vibe had me excited before I even sat down. I came in to celebrate my birthday solo and was really looking forward to treating myself to a nice evening. I sat at the bar at first, assuming I could order from the full menu. When I was told only the limited snack menu was available, I was caught off guard especially at a place with this level of pricing. I ended up making a reservation on the spot so I could get the full experience. Oddly, their system doesn't allow parties of one, so I had to book for two just to be seated. That part alone was frustrating. Once I got to the table, my server was warm and welcoming. I appreciated that. But after I got my drink and food, I didn't see her again for quite some time. I had to ask another staff member to help close me out. So the service was a bit slow and inattentive during a time when I really hoped to feel taken care of. The snapper I ordered came out cold. Not lukewarm. I was disappointed, especially after waiting. They kindly brought me a dessert to make up for it, which I appreciated, but that was also cold and didn't feel like a proper finish to the meal. It was underwhelming. To be clear, everyone I interacted with was kind. The space is stunning, the DJ set the perfect tone, and I can see the potential here. But for the price point, and on a night that was personal, it just didn't land the way I hoped it would.

Dear Lucia Team, I wanted to share my feedback about my unfortunate dining experience at your restaurant last night. I had an 8:00 PM reservation and arrived a few minutes early at 7:54. I was promptly told to wait at the bar until my table was ready. While the initial greeting was friendly, we ended up waiting at the bar for over 30 minutes without any updates or check-ins from staff. Eventually, I went outside to ask for an update on our reservation and was informed that we were second on the list to be seated and that the kitchen was backed up. So being patient, we went back to the bar and attempted to order the tuna tartare appetizer in the. After about 20 minutes with no sign of the appetizer, I followed up--only to find out the order had never been entered into the system. At that point, we chose to leave. Not once during this time did anyone acknowledge the delay, apologize, or attempt to make us feel taken care of--not even as we exited. I understand that Lucia is a new restaurant, and opening challenges are expected. That said, the lack of communication and guest relations was disappointing. While I wanted to support and be excited about this new spot, based on this experience, I'm hesitant to return. I hope this feedback is taken as an opportunity to improve service moving forward.

First time trying this new restaurant and I'll definitely be back. The food was fresh and delicious, I've never had Caribbean food, but this was familiar, yet new. The ambience was comfortable and relaxed, the service was friendly and attentive. The cocktails were definitely a standout, I had the oxtail old fashion. the okra martini and the espresso martini. All cocktails were well balanced and had an interesting and unique quality. Overall, I would definitely recommend!

Wanted to love this place but it was really disappointing. Had a reservation over the weekend that involved standing in line for 20+ mins outside. They even had another woman waiting alone who's party had already been seated & she just wanted to join them. We made it to the front of the line only to be escorted to the bar to continue waiting. I guess the hostess essentially forgot about us as we never ended up being seated after spending another hour at the bar. In the meantime we ordered drinks & tried out the $30 wagyu beef patties. I'm unsure if the meat used was actually wagyu as the patties were very saucy & not meaty at all. I'd presume no more than 2 grams of beef was included in our three (2 inch sized) patties. Overall a pretty awful value coupled with pretty awful service. We were kind of thankful we were never seated as we fear it might have caused us to waste more money. What makes it worse is we went to Linden the following night & got a 1st hand view of what we THOUGHT we could have expected at Lucia - fabulous food & service with a Black Excellence vibe. I can tell this is a "see & be seen" type of place & not one for foodies who expect quality service with quality ingredients. The interior is gorgeous so I hope they make improvements to live up to the space. Otherwise I don't expect this place to be around for too long :(

Speciality cocktail....music is amazing. Easily my new favorite bar. Be sure to book a reservation for the full menu. Food is delicious.

Lucia is SEXY!! The vibe is probably one of the best I've experienced in LA and I'm a native. It was giving Black Sex in the City vibes! The drinks were amazing 10/10. Ambiance/ music 10/10. But the food... I was ready for mouth watering Caribbean food but that was not the case. We order the peppered shrimp toast and plantains for appetizers 10/10 but our entrees could have been better. We ordered the snapper and the oxtails. We sent the snapper back it was dry and the oxtails had a bbq not gravy taste. Someone's Jamaican grandmother would have been fussing in the kitchen so bad lol! They're new so I'll definitely give them another try because everything else was perfect!!! Also a lot of eye candy made it better

This is thee spot to visit for good vibes, an excellent rotation of DJs, and a memorable experience with flavorful food. The ambiance is moody and sexy, perfect for a night out. The drinks are unique--my favorites are the Tamarind Collins, lychee martini, and spicy margarita. For food, the standout is the lychee ceviche, which is truly one-of-a-kind. And if you can handle the extra kick drizzle on some scotch bonnet ‍‍‍

Delicious, Artisic and Friendly! I still think and talk about my experience at Lucia only a few weeks ago! It was like a magic show is my mouth. Their menu was undoubtedly focused to infuse magic into every bite. The vibe with the music, decor, and smiling staff felt friendly and comforting! My wife danced in her seat with the tuna, I made her a little jealous by falling in love with the fried chicken and we were stunned by our dessert because it disappeared before our very eyes(we ate it so fast)! Bring your wife, friends, enemies, make new friends, by yourself, whatever it takes to taste the amazing flavors Lucia has cooking in their kitchens. Enjoy!

Don't come here hungry because the portion sizes are sub par especially for the price point you'll pay, however, everything you order will likely taste SO good! Ambiance is beautiful and staff is super friendly.

Love the crab fried rice! Food is very tasteful. Service was very lovely and friendly

Great place to pull up with a baddie and impress. We'll be coming back again . Service was great and shouted to the valet really nice people.

10/10 I've been waiting for a restaurant like this in LA. As a fellow Caribbean, being able to combine a fine dining experience with some nostalgic food is amazing. Of course the dishes are not super authentic but I love the spin on everything! The vibe is amazing with a dj playing some classics and dancehall favorites. This is somewhere I would visit every weekend... whether for some food or just a drink and vibe! Super dope!!! Congrats to everyone who worked on this place it's very refreshing for LA!

Phenomenal food, service and drinks. One of the most unique and beautiful restaurants I have ever been to. DJ was a nice touch. Will definitely be back!

The vibes were immaculate! You definitely get transferred into the Caribbean as soon as you walk in. I got seating in the clam booth which was super cute and comfortable and gave a great view of the whole restaurant. The music they played was mostly Afro beats which I loved but they also add in R&B. So great music in my opinion! The food was so good definitely get a taste of the Caribbean. Although I only went for the appetizers and drinks I am excited to go back and try the entrees. I did order some drinks they were really good I had the Agave Pina colada and the toffee expresso martini which were so good. I like that the expresso martini was made with tequila. The service was also amazing my waitress Kennedy was really friendly and gave really good suggestions. Reservations do get booked up fast so I recommend booking in advance for preferred seating However, the floors are a little slippery especially if you're wearing heels but other than that I recommend this place and will be back!

Amazing customer service, and amazing patties! Really yummy, and quick service. I came really late and they still put my order in.

The service and ambience are all very amazing. However, they say they are a family style restaurant but the portions are not big enough to feed more than 2 people. This is definitely good for a dim date night type of vibe. I think they could do better at explaining the amounts of food that is required to be ordered in order for you to get full. There were 4 of us and we ordered the wagyu patties ($30) and it only came with 3. Which is fine, but I think it is good service to let us know if we need to order multiple in order for everyone to at the very least get their own piece (keep in mind, the patties were the size of mini empanadas).

Beautiful restaurant with a great vibe from the moment you walk in. The jerked steak was excellent and their variety of house cocktails were delicious. Highly recommend.

Celebrated a friend's birthday here & the experience was great. Seated immediately, friendly staff & beautiful inside. Food was delicious. We ordered just about everything, bread, fritters, ceviche, rice & peas, waygu patties, oxtail & Mac pie. We also ordered drinks from the cocktail menu that were just as good as the food. Small shareable portions but reasonably priced. I would definitely come back

Beautiful restaurant, delicious food and really amazing service. The staff were so kind, music great and overall great experience. Definitely recommend!!

Great space, beautiful and polite staff, delicious food !! I'm no food connoisseur, but I really enjoyed the Caribbean influenced dishes. Reminded me of home.

I've been to every restaurant in LA you can name 5 star 4 star 1 star this place said I couldn't come in because I had a hat on and smelled like weed smh. And it's black owned what a disappointment

We came here to celebrate our anniversary. Both food and drinks were flavorful and unique. They have a DJ which I thought was cool. Good music and vibes all night! Deeva and the rest of the staff made our night special. You must try the beef patties. Next time I'm ordering two of those!!! They gave us champagne at the end of our meal to make a toast. Highly recommend it if you wanna try something full of soul and creativity.

overpriced, overhyped LA instagram fare! good cocktails and bar service. maybe it's just me, but I expect decent portion sizes and well spiced food for what I pay. Took over 30 minutes to receive our order while the people next to us (who came in at least 20-30 minutes later) got all their food. One of the items we ordered never came and we were charged for it before reminding the wait staff we never got it, and they proceeded to remove it from the receipt instead of bringing it out. Did they want us to leave? Got complimentary cocktails for the bad service which we didn't want (came for the food). Music was popping but service might have been the worst I've ever experienced. It's still a new place so they have room to do better. Mildly classist/elitist vibes, not surprising. Do yourself a favor and go to any authentic Caribbean place in LA.
