Description
The owner sets a hospitable tone at this neighborhood favorite. For the main plates, the jerk pork earns stamp-of-approval praise from Jamaican-born patrons, while the jerk chicken delivers heavily seasoned, bold heat. Regulars also turn to the kitchen's red pea soup, a comforting bowl loaded with carrots, potatoes, tender beef, and soft dumplings.
