That Umbrella Guy @ Simone's Caribbean
Service was great. Waitresses were friendly and explained what the dishes were since I wasn't particularly familiar with this kind of cuisine. Things like "Jack Cakes" and "Ackee" were new terms to me.
I ordered the "Ackee and Saltfish" with a side of dumplings, having never heard of the dish before and seeing that it is the "national dish of Jamaica". Personally I found the salt fish a bit too salty, though I mean...it is salt fish I guess, so some degree of saltiness is to be expected.
The ackee had an interested flavour with a smooth, scrambled-egg-like texture, but when it was mixed with the salty juices in the dish, the salty flavour was too overpowering and I didn't like it as much.
The dumplings were the caribbean variety, so it was just flour on flour with no other fillings.
It was ok, but I liked the jack cakes that someone else ordered more.
I'm sure the dish is great; the flavours just didn't work for me since it was all too salty.
Next time I'll try getting their chicken.
