Honest verdict on Oxtail Stew — good but not exceptional

Oxtail Stew here was solidly made — smoky from the jerk pit without anything to complain about. ackee fruit was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

Jamaican jerk cooking traces to the Maroon communities who preserved meat with allspice and chilli. The a roadside rum bar atmosphere was pleasant enough. rum punch was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Oxtail Stew this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
