The Reef Restaurant
Oct 3, 2008
Ain't No Island Vibes
Maybe my expectations are too high, but I expect a Caribbean restaurant to have some Caribbean soul. You know slow relaxed friendly service, great food with large servings… well that ain’t the Reef.
Servers were rushed and way too trendy to for Caribbean soul. The food was decent, but portions we embarrassingly small for a Caribbean kitchen. The jerk pork was dry, the curry goat was dry, the rice and peas tasted like it came from a box of minute rice. The pints of beer were served in glasses sub pint size and the pitchers were filled with too much foam and not enough beer. I even ordered a glass of Havana Club reserve neat and let’s just say I inhaled the aroma of the fine rum and the little that was in the glass evaporated into the air.
I wouldn’t go back and would be ashamed to take anyone from any of the islands there.

Plantain Chips and Jerk Mayo
Dry and over fryed. Jerk sauce and mayo… not impressive either but helped add some moisture to the dry chips.
-
Jerk Pork with Rice & Peas
Small serving and dry. Rice & Peas were nothing notable. It was edible, but nothing exciting.
-
Curry Goat Roti
The texture of the roti was too brittle, good roti should have some elasticity. The goat was dry. The serving was small.
