We were impressed from the start. The decor is stylish but simple. The welcome from the staff was warm. (Also Lyn already loves the place!)

With all courses, the tastes were fresh, elegantly combined and adventurous. The jerk chicken had a spicy warmth but was not overpowering; the Coconut & Pimiento Chicken came with various extras (plantain, spinach and sweet-potato cake) that combined to make a dish we all found delicious.

While both desserts were delightful, the steamed pudding was most impressive. A delicious balance of subtle flavours with plenty of succulent sultanas in a light sponge.

In all a wonderful meal in delightful surroundings, with a very good selection of 'dinner jazz' playing in the background. Our waitress was attentive, friendly and kind - so much so that we gave her generous tip.

Our rating: FIVE STARS - we didn't feel able to fault a thing.
