Bottom Line
Verdict
We had a delightful dining experience at Jasmine's Caribbean Cuisine. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a nice "Jamaican vibe." The staff was friendly and attentive, and the service was prompt.
We started with the Codfish Fritters, which were a bit different from what we're used to, but still tasty. The oxtail, however, was absolutely divine! The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender and perfectly seasoned. The plantains were also a hit, soft and flavorful.
The drinks were a highlight. We enjoyed the Coco Breeze and Scandal Rum Punch, both of which were refreshing and flavorful.
While the food was delicious, we did find the portions a bit small, especially for the oxtail. Also, the restaurant is quite small, so we recommend making a reservation to avoid a long wait. Overall, though, we had a great experience and would definitely return to try other items on the menu.
