Don't walk, run to this hidden gem. We went around 7pm on a Friday and were seated immediately.

Service
With the exception of how you order, it's the traditional table service. A member of the staff brings out your order, removes dishes, and other requests. You order and pay either via QR code or register. Everyone we interacted with was hospitable. We felt valued. 10/10
Ambiance
Small, cute, bright and colorful. The outside patio is really nice, but it was a damp night, so we sat inside. The Jamaican music was on point. 8/10

I like that you have a couple ordering and payment options. We chose the QR code method for both, which was fast and convenient. The other option is the traditional way, which is to order at the register.
Jerk turkey necks - 10/10; they've elevated the turkey neck game. Tender, jerky, the sauce.
Jerk BBQ shrimp - 10/10; this is a new way of making BBQ shrimp, and I'm here for it.
Corn maque choux - 10/10; unlike any corn maque choux I've had. It tasted like crab and corn bisque.
Spicy ginger wings - 9/10
Crawfish etouffee fries - 9/10; fried bananas never tasted so good.
Hibiscus lemonade - 9/10; yum, more please.
Jerk chicken - 9/10; tender, jerky, smoky.
Jamaican fried drum - 8/10; the fish was good, but I had drum twice this week, so I was over it. Why did I order it?
Sweet potato plantain mash - 8/10; like it sounds, mashed sweet potatoes.
Curry shrimp stew - 8/10
Brussel sprouts - 7/10; if Brussel sprouts are on the menu, we're ordering it. These needed more olive oil and salt.
