The designer and the chef have drawn from the same palette at this multi-story Caribbean restaurant on Pratt Street. Vibrant shades of red, mocha and mustard adorn the walls, and couches and easy chairs provide comfy seating options. The menu is light and bright in flavor, made up almost entirely of sandwiches and salads, and it capitalizes on the owner and chef's Jamaican heritage.

Hot spots for that Urban sophistication Flavor
These is all the places that I go to to get that urban flavor with a dose of sophistication. There are a good mix of crowds and the people are pretty outgoing.
