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.
