Description

Behind the counter, Candy and her crew run a clean kitchen where you can view how your food is being prepared, watching them cook with fresh herbs rather than powdered seasonings. The menu stretches from jerk chicken and salmon—cooked jerk, sweet chili, or grilled—to fish cake fritters. For a traditional option, they also serve Irish Moss porridge.
