In contrast to its reputation, this hip and popular rookie sits on a quiet corner of Kent Avenue. Steps from the waterfront, it isn't as beloved for its views as it is for its uplifting vibe, set by Owners Ria Graham and husband, Kevol. This is cooking that pans the Caribbean and Chef Mitchel Bonhomme infuses it with unique twists. Yard-long flatbreads, like the rasta pasta, are a favorite, thanks to the presence of shrimp, Jamaican callaloo, and plantain. Other hits include a vegetarian whole-roasted cauliflower in cashew sauce seasoned with allspice. Fish tacos and braised oxtail will leave you wanting to return for more.

Weather permitting, sit outside, groove to the DJ's beats, and devour a Kokolada pineapple rum cake. Sound like bliss? You bet it is.
