We went here for a birthday party for a co-worker of a friend of mine. It was not my first choice to go to..honestly I'd only seen this place in passing on my way to the airport. From the outside it doesn't look like much, nice big building on the corner of Paradise and Flamingo on the Northwest side. Walking in, however, you feel transported to another place with the Caribbean theme of the restaurant and bar.\n\nHowever, like a friend has told me, you can't necessarily paint something to make it what it ain't.\n\nThe food here is expensive for what you get. We ordered quite a bit of food for the party: Spinach Dip and Island Chips, Island Onion Rings, West Indies Patties, and Creole Baked Goat Cheese to start. None of these, to me, were particularly good. The Spinach Dip was not even touched as my friend ordered it and then tried to pass it along to everyone else because she hated it. The entree's were a little better: Cuban Sandwich and Margarita Chicken. However for the $10 and $15 plates of food, I've had much better.\n\nThe service was slow for a slow Wednesday early evening dinner. It was nice that we were able to sit in the atrium outside that was nicely cooled. All in all, this seems like a poorly done chain restaurant based on a Caribbean theme. My search shall continue (though how hard I look is yet to be determined).
