Phenomenal food, so so delicious. I ordered the jerk smoked ribs, my partner ordered the deep fried soft shelled crab Fry Bake Sandwich. Both were so good we've been talking about it for days. The food was delicious, all the spices were spot on, the plate was like a gourmet meal.

One of the most flavorful jerk chicken dishes I’ve ever had. If you put raisins in your potato salad, this ain’t for you, Karen. The spice is spot on, the ginger yams are to die for, and the Manhattan is one of the best I’ve ever had.

Amazing. Caribbean Goddess is a must drink. And the ribs are ? ? ? Also the crab pasta is great portion. The beans are wow just the right spice.

We ate an early dinner, shortly after opening, so we did not encounter a wait. The dinners we ordered were delicious! If you are a fan of jerk chicken, then this place is a must for eating in Seattle! Cocktails were also delicious with a nice variety of options.

What an awesome, delicious, and educational experience. The bartender explained the alcoholic beverage. Our waitress and other waiters were very well attentive to all guests. The flavors were remarkable ! The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxing. Something about a place to hold your bag while at the bar was also pretty nice and convenient place for tourist or any sort of bag.

The balance of spice is near perfection! Everything is packed with flavor! Rich, spicy, savory, sweet, it hits them all. While the chicken is a staple, a must try is the ribs, they will not disappoint!The bartender Nick is a true person of craft! The cocktails were top notch and specially curated! An amazing business and amazing staff! A must try when in Belltown.

Great place to try some delicious jerk chicken and Jamaican food. Had the half fried chicken, partner had the soft shell crab both delicious, hope your hungry, otherwise you will be leaving with leftovers! Also had some delicious cocktails care of Nikolas the bartender, great conversation and service. Will recommend for sure!

Such wonderful flavors. The bartender was very informative of the alcoholic drink “12- Miler.” They specifically relayed the historical attributes of the alcohol that was used in the cocktail, never had that type of experience at a restaurant and found it so innovative. The flavors were wonderful, the atmosphere was great, all walks of life came into the restaurant whether to sit down or take out. Our waitress was very attentive and held some great conversations with us as well. Kinda disappointed we could not stay there longer, would definitely return. The bar is beautifully set up as well! Staff all were extremely in good spirits and helpful. Definitely a place that is a “must go” to for jerk chicken dishes. My spouse had the jerk chicken burrito, I had the jerk chicken and shrimp pasta! All of it was delicious!

Great great food and super tasty drinks!

The smoked ribs were delicious. The meat was tender and I loved the dry rub seasonings. The cocktails were good especially the lychee flavored lemonade. The only disappointment was the rice and peas which were bland & plantains were cold.
