Unique restaurant serving a fusion of Caribbean and Mediterranean food. A little off the beaten path but well worth a visit. Overall food was well executed and delicious! Highlights include Hummus, plantains, falafel. Plenty of meat dishes but also seafood and non-meat/vegan; great place for variety of tastes. Service was friendly and relaxed.
