Loved the Baja Saba Fish Tacos - they were so full of flavor, I never wanted it to end!!! The flavor combinations are pure magic! The lemon drop martini was perfect - nice taste and not overpowered by alcohol... excellent bartender - I had 2. Perfectly prepared flan dessert was a perfect ending to the evening.

Service was attentive and excellent. The waitstaff is professional and very friendly. They also don't rush their clients through dinner - much appreciated by me. This place has the formula for success.

The atmosphere was very eclectic and party-like. The decor is nothing short of eye-popping and head-turning. VERY artistic!

This is an interesting restaurant with eclectic decor that offers a variety of "international" dishes that are neither authentic nor innovative. If you like Caribbean food, then this place may be OK for you. On the plus side, the portions are huge and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. 5 stars for the service, but only 3 for the food. We had a Groupon so the total bill was not too bad, but we probably won't return because there are so many new and better restaurants to explore in Portland, especially in the SE part of town.

Very interesting restaurant, very good food. It's a cozy (small) bar/cafe serving food from around the world, I would not say just Caribbean food because they do have Hawaiian, as well as some Asian inspired meals. My wife had the Molly's Hot Tamales, (she is from New Mexico, no gringo food), one of our friends had the Cush Cush, which she said was excellent. Her husband and I each had the Pampas Chimichurri Steak. We also had the Afro-Caribbean Bollitos and the Namibian Braii Chicken both excellent appetizers. Not a bad meal in the bunch. Definitely worth going back to try other foods on the menu.

This was my first time here, and I'd heard about it from friends. Very diverse menu. I had the Jamaica Road. Every bite tasted different from another, due to the ingredient mix. Very good meal. My daughter had the Cush Cush and was less satisfied. The veggies were mainly onions and peppers, which are not her favorites. The veggies with my dish included hardly any onions or peppers. The place was packed with a short wait, but still attentive service. They do have you go get your own water from some dispensers on a table, which I thought was odd. The adult beverage menu had some great choices.

Quite an odd mix of food and drink but very good. Lots of spicy dishes which I really enjoy and good microbrew beers.
