10/10 experience. Dined in for brunch on a Friday, it was really quiet, not overpacked or anything. Our server was wonderful, explained to us about how they came up with somewhat of a Caribbean menu through the owners. Was a great experience.

Just discovered this place last night! We made a reservation for 7pm and we were promptly seated. I had the flight of drinks and it was delicious along with the plantains and dip they serve. I had the Salmon, succotash, and roasted potatoes and they were so phenomenal! I love simple ingredients that are elevated with flavor, no processed stuff. This place checked all the boxes for me. As a bonus, they had a live singer promoting their music while covering Johnny Cash. Next time, I'll remember to bring cash to tip the performer.

This is such a cute little place in a cute little setting on the outskirts of Franklin! We ate lunch here Saturday for the first time with my elderly parents & were so very appreciative of the care taken by the staff to ensure we had a great dining experience! When my parents & I finally made it to the door, it was being held open for us by the kindest lady who greeted us with genuine warmth & welcome! The servers were all so nice as well & were very attentive! Restaurant was clean, food was great, bathrooms were adorable, & past the bathrooms there was also a surprise outdoor seating area with looked really nice! 5 stars for our 5 star service & food. We will definitely be back! We had the tacos(not quite as much flavor as I like, but my son liked them), stuffed chili- lime shrimp spud which my mother enjoyed, Isla bowls(one with chili- lime shrimp/ dirty rice & one with white rice/ chicken) both of which were very yummy & flavorful, and the Creole bowl which were enjoyed by the ones who had them as well!

I got a gluten free fish burger with a sweet potato side. Everything was really delicious and the portions were big so you got plenty for your money. They also serve plantains chips with dip at the table. The service was great and it wasn't a long wait for the food which was nice.

Absolutely delicious food where for once the price matched the quality of the food. Visited the area from Huntsville AL for the day and I am so glad we picked this place to eat. The lobster bisque is by far the best I’ve ever had; where as Connors was my original golden standard, it has now been dethroned. If we visit the area again we are absolutely coming back to this location. My only criticism would be the giant cubes ice cube that seems to mask how little you get with the cocktails. However the cocktail was still decent, but for 14 I would have expected more.

This place is amazing! Food is excellent!!! Fresh clean cooking and food. Made to order fresh. Taste just like your in the Caribbean. The GM is incredibly sweet and welcoming. Every time we have been the service and food are impeccable. They use no seed oils in their food prepping processes. Portions are perfect size. The owner is amazing. He explained how and why they came up with the menus and the processes. The atmosphere is really cool. Very Caribbean! It’s so relaxing and welcoming. I could go on and on about this place.

Great scratch kitchen with an island feel. A lot of the food is based off Caribbean food, however they do have burgers, salads, frozen drinks, turkey leg, plantain chips that are spiced right for flavor. Servers and bartenders are great and friendly plus they have live music performers on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
