Beautiful neighborhood spot with a creative twist of Caribbean and Mediterranean dishes. As other reviews have noted, the chef/owner really cares about what he's putting out to customers and the service is exceptional. We ordered three appetizers to try: the conch fritters, the trio of hummus, and the grape leaves. According to the chef, the fritters are their specialty - my husband loved them with the accompanying sauce (and it's hard to go wrong with something battered and deep fried). They'd pair well with some beer. My favorite was the super fluffy pita bread with the beet hummus, which was a beautiful shade and had some sweet beet flavor. The pumpkin hummus was a tad too sweet for me. Rave reviews for the braised lamb shank and jerk chicken. The entrees are pretty massive and very reasonable at the price point. I wasn't super hungry so opted for the fattoush, which came with grilled, crispy pita. The dressing for the salad was very tart; a touch less acidic and it would've been perfect. Next time, I'd get the kabobs or the lamb shank, enough food for two meals. They also have mezze boards to share a bit of everything if you're coming as a group. There's a small parking lot in front; we snagged the very last spot. Reservations are recommended for weekend dinners, the place filled up quickly.
