Brian Rattray is long gone from that operation. he is now in Sosua at Swizzle. he was the chef, so i suggest you go there with reservation if you liked his stuff.
Brian isn't the only Jamaican chef on the island
Why don't you go and try it out, let us know how it is.

i just mentioned that he had left in order to throw some light on the delay. the restaurant was to have started with him, but he got into some disagreement with the owner. from what i heard, he went to Jamaica to bring over another chef. Brian is hard work. he is a pastry chef by training, and i am not too sold on his cooking. his donuts might be good, though.
I'm glad they're up and running. I was disappointed in July but VOTB took good care of me and I was happy to see that they've gone the route of BnB with the rooms upstairs. I told you those Kids were sharp. Next time in BC I'm headed straight for Little JA.
HA!!
Yeah.. You wish!!
no wish, Natu. you cannot compare the food of the DR with that of Jamaica.. no contest.
LOL, but oh so true. I was putting some thoughts together of a reply to this thread but you beat me to it. "Bland" is the word.
Back to Little Jamaica Restaurant. Has anyone eaten there yet?
I was in Boca a few days ago. The restaurant had no sign on the outside to indicate it is a restaurant that is open. I peeked inside and saw no activity and this was mid day Saturday. I hope I am wrong but this place seems doomed before it gets started.

i'm... confused... i looked at their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/Little-Jamaica-1682348892044968/?fref=nf
and they talk about 95% of customers coming back. but the photos are mainly of the dishes and none of the place buzzing and busy...
these Jamaican guys who are trying to start these restaurants are a bunch of comedians. the guys in BC planned to start because they had Rattray. they had a falling out, and he split for Sosua, so the guys in BC went to Jamaica to get a chef. meanwhile, Rattray had some ideas for Sosua. he got the uncle of some guy to put up the money for Swizzle, with Rattray at the helm. Rattray wanted to do pastry, so he did an end around and got the kid to blow 100k on a Vulcan oven, meanwhile they were doing the food on a 2 burner stove. Rattray split, they brought two other chefs from Jamaica, neither of whom lasted 2 weeks. now Swizzle is up for sale. the financier has had enough of the antics.
no big loss....they were not too good, either.
