😐 We had high hopes for this food hall and we were disappointed. On the website, it listed 6 different food places to choose from but only 3 of them were open when we went on a busy Saturday afternoon. The outdoor patio seating is nice but the picnic tables are old and shaky and the live performer wa...

👍👍 This place is such a gem. The best Jamaican food I've had in a restaurant in the United States (yes - even better than New York and the greater Miami area).

👍👍 Solid chain restaurant. Great quantity of food and service with surprisingly good cofee. The ingredient quality was fair. The chicken on the crispy chicken and waffles is milder in flavor.
