    A really nice, moderately sized restaurant but was just right. The service was fantastic from stat to finish and the food was phenomenal. The starters were perfectly sized and flavoursome especially the King Prawns. The Goat Curry was tender and captured the true essence of the Caribbean. I was extremely impressed with the whole dining experience and would fully recommend to anyone.
