The restaurant itself is beautiful with lots of love and thought to detail put into the decor. Iwill definitely be back many more times and will be recommending you to all of my people. Read more
Flavorful, but very spicy for my own taste. It?s Caribbean food so you have to expect a certain level of heat. I had the pork... belly, it?s a very big portion. My daughter had the mac and cheese with pork and it?s was excellent. Read more

Tonight I feasted on takeout from Bess Restaurant. @bessrestaurant I was adventuresome and tried their signature dish,... recommended by the ever so helpful Stephan. Main: Braised Oxtail served with rice, peas & steamed veggies. Side: Pressed, saltedplantains The oxtail was very tender, sliding easily off the bone. The veggies and rice were tasty. The plantains were nicelycrunchy. I have to say, I?m a gal with a healthy appetite, and there was more than enough food for me. Also, i like my hot foodhot (heated), and it was. On a spiciness scale, I would say it?s mild. They have a great cocktail list, and jerk dishes, whichI?ll try once I visit the restaurant. They open next week, so if you?re in the mood for Caribbean food in an intimate & casualenvironment, check them out! Read more
Great quality and good people! It's not Caribbean home cooking. It's an original menu, created by Caribbean people. I've been... twice and had a great experience both times. My only complaint is that the roti skins are basically tortillas. Everything elsetastes hand made and flavourful. Read more
