The food was terible, very salty. It seems like the cook may be an American trying to cook Jamaican food. Instead of using hot pepper he/she used black pepper. On top of that, the price was not that great neither. WORST JAMAICAN FOOD I EVER EAT, DON'T EAT THERE.

I have been a customer there for over 14 years. The owners are so friendly and the environment is great. I go there every Friday night for happy hour and to stretch my legs. The music is so relaxing because I love oldies

It is the number one Jamaican restaurant in the District of Columbia. My most favored dishes were the Jerked chix, oxtails stew and the salmon. The seasonings used were properly dispersed throughout. Dr. G. Hill
