text: I have been to Breadfruit a couple of times now My most recent experience was in the last hours with a couple of friends I should start this review my noting that I love Jamaican food In general I love foods that mix fruity and spicy and yet are not too heavy on the stomach nnFor the food the coleslaw and corn are excellent side items The bread is decent and interesting flavour though a bit on the tough side For main dishes I have had the jerk chicken and jerk prawns Indeed for me the jerk chicken was the better The shrimp was not filling at all for prawns is not only a ripoff for a restaurant that serves with paper napkins but it leaves you wanting morein a bad way The plantain and avocado rolls are perhaps the only thing on the menu worth the price They are perfectly paired with the mango chutney The scallop dish is quite appalling for value as well The waiter might have done well by us to mention that the half order for had only mediumsized scallops For you could get the full order but then what is the point Also at the table was a house salad of sorts which while it has potential went halfeatennnAlso a plus they have finally gotten a beer license so they can finally serve appropriately Jamaican Red Stripe lager At it is not the best deal in downtown Phoenix though Nickel and dimed againnnAs for the service and management there are not positive signs for this restaurant It has managed to stay in business and good on them On the other hand while the duecor is nice and pleasant typical Jamaican with it is yellow and green walls the place is noisy And that is odd considering we were the only three patrons in the restaurant Management would do well to put up a plexiglass room divider The restaurant does have a nice glass faueade which allows a pleasant view of the street Unfortunately the location is on st and Pierce which offers some of the worst views in all of downtown Phoenix Alas this location goes to waste It really is impressive that the place has not closed down My last impression is of the wait staff While the staff two years ago was helpful and polite we three agreed that the new staff was pushy and unhelpful Over and over we were pushed to order items we insisted we did not want And when it came to selling us on the dishes and informing us of the small skewer of prawns or the scallop appetizer he seemed to have forgotten I guess it is a bit like a used car salesmannnToo bad I cannot think of another Jamaican restaurant in Phoenix I would love to try it next time
