The food is so great !!! I had the wings and the salmon cooked to perfection, I did pick up so for wings to hold up during the ride home I was impressed . Only thing is the service, the wait was so long , the host/waitress didn't give me any updates . They were swamped but when I asked for one they were clearly upset.

This place has a cute vibe! I loved everything about it! We were greeted and seat once we arrived. Our server Ramell was attentive and kind! He made a few recommendations, which is always helpful! We ordered corn bread that was to die for! Literally made perfectly, loved it! Wings w' Mac & Cheese, Rice&Peas! It was really good! The mac was soulful! Also ordered the jerk chicken with mac&chees and potato salad. The jerk chx was good and soooo soft literally slipped off the bone. They know what they're doing in that kitchen! We ordered a mojito and a rum punch both drinks were really good!

Came in today for a late lunch. The place was pretty empty. But it looked really nice. We had a very very nice server who I believe name is Tiffany or Tatiana. It seems as though she was the only one there at the moment, but she did a good job Being our waitress. We ordered the lemonade and the hurricane rum punch. The rum punch was good and strong. We then ordered the jerk chicken with rice and peas and cabbage, and the Rasta pasta with pan seared salmon. The food came out a little while later, and it was very tasty. My partner liked the jerk chicken, but wasn't a fan of the rice and peas . The Rasta pasta was really good and enough to feed 2 people, but I wasn't a fan of the teriyaki sauce that came with it. We then order the banana pudding for dessert. It was really good. Our bill came up to $66 which wasnt bad at all. All in all I would come to this place again .

My friend and I were craving some southern comfort food something casual and was recommended this location by a few friends. We went on a Sunday evening around 6, we made no reservations and were seated in less than 10 minutes. We ordered the around town drinks which is lemonade, strawberry lemonade and iced tea, so delicious. For our appetizer we ordered the jerk shrimp egg rolls and the honey butter cornbread skillet. For our main dishes, my friend ordered the fried salmon and Mac and cheese. I ordered the fried catfish with Mac and cheese, sweet potatoes and collard greens. We also shared the banana pudding for dessert. These dishes were amazing! Filled with flavor and a good portion for the price. The banana pudding was a but underwhelming but overall good flavor and presentation. The location is a bit small but they do have bad seating. Ambiance nice and casual, great music. There is also street parking available. I would recommend to make reservations ahead of time we definitely got lucky this day. Thank you I will be back for more.

We came here on a Monday afternoon so the vibes were chill. The service was attentive, our waiter was very nice and accommodating. The decor is really cute and you can definitely get some good photos here against the banana leaf wallpaper or near the lit up sign in the front. The food was amazing. I like that they are taking classic Caribbean foods and giving them a slight twist, they definitely live up to the name "blended flavors". We started with the jerk chicken egg rolls. At first the waiter forgot our sauce and we weren't sure if it came with any. I took a bite of my eggroll and honestly, it was so flavorful and juicy it really didn't need sauce- and I'm a BIG sauce fan. Our waiter came back fairly quickly after realizing he forgot to give it to us. The sauce was good but honestly, you get more of the flavors without it, so I recommend trying it both ways! Next was our entrees, we both selected the Rasta pasta, it sounded too good to not try. My hubby ordered oxtail with the Rasta pasta and I got the jerk chicken variation. Both meats were super tender, the pasta was creamy and had a nice blend of spices to make it truly unique. We also ordered sweet plantains as a side, they were so delicious, tossed in a spice blend that made them spicy sweet, it may have been my favorite part of the lunch! Lastly, we couldn't leave without trying the banana pudding. We saw that you could get it with churros so we opted for that one, WOW the portion was so generous. The churros were crisp on the outside with a slight gooey texture on the inside- perfect! They were also super buttery and had a nice caramel drizzle on the top for good measure. The banana pudding was a FULL portion and had just the right amount of sweetness and banana flavor, and of course, the nilla wafers. We had a great experience and absolutely plan to come back!

It became clear to me how popular this spot was after observing how the line for takeouts was almost out of the door. I initially mistook the crowd for the wait to dine in, but our table of three was able to be seated immediately. It's sort of an L-shaped space with table booths lined across the walls. They also have an attractive looking bar with well positioned tv screens. Our server was very personable and made sure we had everything we needed. I ordered the catfish which had a lightly fried, fresh taste. As my sides, I chose the macaroni and cheese along with the yams. These are not so much your candied yams but were still very good. I also tried some of the jerk chicken spring rolls ordered as an appetizer which was not as spicy as I worried it would be. The accompanying sauce was full of heat, however. I was hoping to try the peach cobbler pudding, but it was out of stock. Better luck next time.

Blended Flavors impressed my friend and I as we decided to visit for a last minute Sunday dinner date! There's a full bar, a couple of tables and an IG worthy wall for photos. We were seated right away as there weren't many people dining in; there were a lot of people ordering for take out. We started off with mango margaritas, Caribbean street corn and jerk shrimp egg rolls. SO GOOD! Then for our entrees - fried salmon with potato salad and mac and cheese as our sides. It was my first time trying fried salmon and WOW! It was smothered in teriyaki jerk sauce and fried perfectly. The potato salad and mac and cheese just tied the dish together. We decided to order dessert and try the banana pudding. It was decent but next time I want to try the Oreo bliss t-cup. Staff was super friendly and attentive. Would recommend this spot for delicious Caribbean soul food, good music and good vibes!

Food: 9/10 Got the hot honey fried chicken wings and Mac and cheese. Both were delicious and flavorful. I want to try more food from here. I've never dined inside (only picked up twice) but the quality has been consistent. Will have more to share as I try more food on the menu.
