Haley K., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on Sept. 9, wrote, "So happy to have this amazing new restaurant nearby! There's plenty of seating inside to eat there. I ordered the veggie burrito, and the stir-fry filling was made fresh-to-order."

And Michelle R. wrote, "Great, flavorful jerk chicken with spicy jerk sauce on the side. I had a side of cabbage and ordered plantains as well, which were delicious."
