Description

The kitchen's strengths include Trinidadian-style shrimp wontons, which match the island's style when mixed with ketchup, pepper sauce, and soy sauce. Other options include veggie fried rice and curry crab and dumplings, though the latter can sometimes run light on crab. Be prepared for high heat levels; some patrons have found the jerk lamb to be intensely, even overpoweringly spicy. Drinks can also vary depending on the bartender, though the table service remains consistently attentive.
