Was told to come here by a friend and the vibe didn’t disappoint. the hard working woman staff called “shkri” sorry is spelled wrong was an absolute delight as a people person and calmly explained everything. Noticed that while serving everyone, she still smiled throughout my stay! 10/10 to the food and literally will visit again. Here’s a video

Ok, so let me tell you, Sunday Brunch on 27 April 2025 was an *absolute* vibe. For a bottomless brunch offering, the food was honestly so good. I went in with low expectations as the food offerings at bottomless brunches are typically bad to average and the portion sizes can be small. However, from the moment I tasted the the saltfish fitters, I knew it was going to bang. All of the food was delicious, the curry chicken was really good as were the rice and peas and the coleslaw. The plantain was a little bit dry for my liking, but we move. The whole table were unable able to finish their meals as we had so much food. Next, shout outs to the waitresses who were all so lovely, kind and friendly and went out of their way to help and made sure we had a great experience. Two people in our party suffer from celiac disease and gluten intolerance and the waitresses and kitchen were diligent to make sure everyone received food that they could eat. One waitress (I didn't catch her name) even went to great lengths to see if the kitchen could do be a crumble, but unfortunately they were out. On to the entertainment, DJ Target and Maximum in one afternoon, like are you joking? Every single song played, did. not. miss. The breadth and depth of musical knowledge from the DJs was incredible - a lot of old school anthems that I haven't heard in years, let alone being played in a function. Honestly, one of the best back to back DJ sets I have seen in my life. It was going off that brunch overran as the tunes were non-stop. Honestly, what a great afternoon! Please do another DJ event because I will 100% be back with more friends! Thank you so much :)

Went for the buffet (only selected days), food was exquisite… My Mrs and I still have day dreams about the Oxtail. Was surprised how filling it was too as the portions for the buffet come out as tasters but if you order it correctly you’ll be left satisfied. Also becareful because the rum punch pitcher is no JOKE!
