A common myth about Jamaican food is that it is all spicy which is not true. We serve a variety of foods.

Chef G hails from Clarendon, Jamaica. Gareth learned the art of West Indian cooking from his grandmother Mrs. May. In a tiny kitchen, he was drawn to the smells and sounds that created authentic Caribbean flavors that are infused in his menu today. Her influenced Chef G to enter culinary school.

This encouraged Gareth to enter Runaway Bay Training Institute, a very well known culinary and
