My experience at this establishment was beyond expectations. From the moment my party stepped in to the moment we departed everything was top notch from the service the quality of food the plating of the food the ambiance the music the energy divides and just seeing people enjoy the meals and their beverages just spoke volumes and it happened during restaurant week here in chicago. Carlos was my waiter and full of knowledge, great with recommendations and looking forward to returning to this restaurant in the near future. Definitely on a Friday or Sunday when Carlos is available so that I can sit in his section. By far the best restaurant I've visited thus far in 2025... Please add the Oxtails to the regular menu, even if it's a monthly special... The Paris Punch is a great drink as well and I'm not a mixed drinker.
Came here for a late night dinner and it was pretty empty so the service was nice! The bartender was so kind and funny! The Mango Walk was strong! And the Mac & cheese, I am definitely coming back for that. The plantain was freshly made but I isn’t taste the sweetness. I do want to return and try the salmon dish! Definitely give it a try.
food is delicious. drinks are some of the best ive had in the city. they were busy when we came to visit and got on the waitlist. we waited maybe 30 mins to be seated at the bar. the service lagged a little bit but they were bustling that night. our server forgot to put in our desert order but happily rang it up when reminded and gave us a free drink for the wait. we really didnt mind the wait as we enjoyed the island music vibe and good food. my friend and i ate so much she caught a food coma!! so good 10s across the board and def worth visiting.
This small eatery in Hyde Park is everything! Great ambience, music and food. The wait was about 30 minutes but so worth it. Mermaid Bathwater was the opening drink - I would describe it as a blue sweet tart with a boozy kick. Once ordered the food came out hot and fresh. It was absolutely delicious!
Omg!!! My first time in Chicago and I try to support Black owned business. We just happened to find this place through a Google search. The decor, the service, and THE FOOD!!! I had the short ribs, cabbage, rice and peas and a cherry lime Rickey. Hands down the BEST MEAL I HAD IN CHICAGO!!! everyone’s food was hot, fresh, and well seasoned. Perfect bites. Ooh and the MUSIC was a vibe.
It it a wonderful place - exactly what I was looking for. We wanted to drink and have some appetizers, and this place did the job. Music wasn’t too loud and everyone was very nice.
Alex was a great server the food was phenomenal. The atmosphere was a vibe will most definitely come back. I had the roster pasta, and the famous drink the (Hyde Park) I truly recommend getting this drink
I visited this place once, and I loved the experience I got as soon as I walked in I was seated to a table. I wasn’t rushed to choose a drink or order. It could’ve just been the time of day but either way that’s valuable to me. I got an entree with corn(not pictured) and it was warm so I did not like it but my husband thought it was good. I got the Rasta pasta and he got the steak with cabbage and muffins. I loved my Rasta pasta I couldn’t stop thinking about it until it was finished. I also tried his cornbread and cabbage and those were good too.
