Caribbean Scene, I actually thought I was there!

Welcome again to another dosage of my life you occasionally experience. On the lovely long weekend we had I decided to treat my mates to dinner (quarterly we do this) to this restaurant called Caribbean Scene. We were in desperate need for a good meal and good scenery. One thing I can definitely say about this restaurant is that it is uniquely tasteful with it's interior decor and food presentation. Not the usual massive pattie all cracked in cheap packaging, and hot heater with a rude individual behind the counter. This is upmarket baby! Every meal here is detailed with craft and passion for its aromatic spices and delicious cocktails.

I must admit this restaurant is a hidden gem of East London, forget Mr Jerks in Soho that restaurant is so 90's. The music gives it charismatic feel as well as the waitresses dressed in traditional Caribbean attire. However, it does seem a bit haunting, reminds me of the 'big-momma' servants who were aloud to be indoors of their master's plantation home. The service absolutely great, very friendly especially the manager he told to smile even though I was in immense pain from cracking an acrylic nail, huh the price girls pay just to maintain upkeep of nails! I must add the yummy cocktails... Nothing else can be said hmm...

Caribbean Scene is one of the new Restaurant ventures every exotic tongue must encounter. It's located at Royal Victoria Dock, for those who have no idea, it's near Canary Wharf. A little word of advice it ain't cheap, yes it's Caribbean but don't expect to be paying £10 per meal. A new one will open in Stratford later this month, so those who fancy paying around £15 for a meal, head there. If you want to get away from the so-called 'rif-raf', and fancy a lovely view, you're better off at the Victoria Royal Dock or even Chelsea Bridge restaurant. For four people including drinks and desserts, the bill was serious pounds, you get what you pay for. Al la Carte style food... but this time with flavour. I give it a 8/10.
