For a relatively casual restaurant, the food, atmosphere, and service were excellent. My only comment would be that while acknowledging the restaurant offer outdoor seating with patio heaters, the doors to the main interior portion of the restaurant were kept open for the wait-staff, and it was uncomfortably cool in the indoor dining area.

We loved this place! The ambiance was great and fun, but the staff's knowledge of rum, especially Jacob's walking us through the rare Demerara tasting was over the top awesome. Natalie was our server, but also is a bartender and so knowledgeable about the cocktails and ingredients. They not only know a lot, but also clearly are passionate about the rums. and food. As some have said, it takes a bit to get a drink or food, but they are crafting complicated drinks by hand.
