We patronized this establishment for my daughters’ birthday brunch. We ordered the Deviled Eggs, Jerk Shrimp and Grits, and the Jerk Lamb Chop Breakfast. The egg filling was sweet with a scrumptious taste, the perfectly seasoned blackened shrimp was on point. The Jerk Shrimp and Grits - marinated shrimp over creamy grits with seared peppers and tomatoes. The jerk sauce was the real deal, spicy and literally finger licking good. The shrimp were large, fresh, and juicy; the grits were perfectly cooked (not thin or lumpy). The Jerk Lamb Chop Breakfast - three marinated lamb chops with scrambled eggs served over crispy potatoes. Again, that jerk sauce was everything 😊. The lamb chops were a good size, juicy, well-seasoned, cooked perfectly (medium) with the right amount of fat. I recommend you order the following brunch cocktails: the Harlot (Passionfruit Martini), the PYNK (Lychee Gin Gimlet), and the Housewife (Dragon fruit Vodka Martini). Two of these drinks were sweet, one was slightly sweet, all three were mouth-watering with its own unique taste and a powerful punch.
Comments: This establishment has a nice vibe with smooth R&B music playing in the background. The ambiance is calming and inviting. Our server Genesis was pleasant, charming, patient and on point with her food and drink recommendations. I highly recommend you make reservations. If you are interested in visiting Tampa and patronizing this establishment, I can assist in arranging your travel 😊.
