Staff can’t seem to handle waiting tables on a busy night. The service was terrible, but the Chicken Quesadillas were lovely with the perfect bit of spicy at The Regency Bar and Lounge last Friday night. The Lobster Mac-n-Cheese is usually very tasty as well.

SuGa Comments: It is always a little too cold for comfort. The quality of food is not nearly as good as early days after their opening. Thankfully the Pastas and Quesadillas are still decent. The menu is revised from time to time, for instance, Chicken in Chimichurri sauce was added. However, they need to offer more sides other than the dry rice served with it. The Chicken complemented with the Chimichurri sauce was tasty though. The service for at least the past 2 years continues to be horrible, from waitresses forgetting orders, waiting forever on food to arrive with no updates as to the status of it (always 35 minutes or more), to hardly any pleasant faces besides when they are forced to do their perky Birthday Jingles. Thank goodness the Oreo Madness is divine though the topping is a borderline toothache and it is definitely for two based on serving size, however there is a price option for half the serving. But what is up with NEVER having mint to make Mojitos?! Unacceptable. Support our Jamaican farmers and reaping homeowners. Disappointment to the franchise. Miami and DC still booming!
Chilitos Jamexican Restaurant on 64 Hope Road has crazy deals. I had to share and make everyone aware that instead of a Burrito they now have a Burrito Bowl with everything that comes in the Burrito for $500JMD. When you hear that you would think you get a scanty serving, but that’s definitely not the case. That Burrito Bowl for $500JMD is actually the smaller version aka a half box full of vegetables, chopped salsa, rice, black beans, grilled chicken and more! You will hardly be able to move after you are done, so you may want to think twice about getting it for lunch because once you start eating it you can’t stop and don’t want to leave anything behind. It’s awesome though and a super deal, so go get it and check out their other deals!
