What diners say — our read

The crowd and the inspector reached the same conclusion. Reviewers who mention front-of-house rate this place 4.3 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour.

Of the 20 rated reviews, 17 sit at four stars or better and 1 at two or below. No one in this corpus comments on how food arrives at all. The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (14 of 20).

The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (90/100) with 1 high-priority and 2 basic violations. The visit behind that grade was March 25, 2026. On health score it sits safer than 42% of the Orange County restaurants we grade. For specifics, the last inspection cited cross-contamination and in-use food dispensing utensils properly stored.

Both measures agree, which is the least complicated version of this page. The reviews themselves follow, unedited and newest first.

    Went with a large group of adults and kids for volleyball and everyone complimented the tasty food, enjoyable service, and Caribbean atmosphere. Most people got seafood or surf and turf. The price is reasonable for the large portions. I went with the filet and coconut shrimp which was highly recommended and now I know why. It was excellent.

    Voolbplace I had no idea it was a chain! Food was good and out of our party of 7 everyone was happy and satisfied with their meal. However, the waitress told us that they are closing soon....

    Fantastic drinks! There for a company event so had a private area but everything was top notch!

    Best restaurant in Orlando. Happy hour food is amazing. Try it while you still have a chance. Darden restaurants are not smart enough to keep them open in the South but are closing them all permanently. Being eating here for many years but I guess they will lose their business to others. Sad but maybe they will wake up before closing them all.

    I am a big fan of the grilled Jamaican jerk wings. Conch fritters are a winner in the drinks are always good.

    Had a enjoyable experience.

    Ordered food to go. Arrived at time provided by website and food took 30 more minutes. Food was good but portion sizes have definitely decreased but the prices have not. We were visiting out of town and the one in our area closed in tennessee. We thought we'd give this one a try and we wont be back.
