| - While shopping at the Farmer's Market downtown one Saturday, someone handed us a little square sample of something.... so delicious, we went back for another bite. It was the sweet potato bread pudding served at Breadfruit, and knew this was a restaurant we had to try.
We went for dinner on a weeknight, and were immediately greeted by a friendly and knowledgeable server. The restaurant is inviting and cozy, lit with candles, and open kitchen, polished concrete floors, a brick wall and bright green accents.
The waiter, who was attentive without hovering, recommended an appetizer on special that night, and it was fantastic. It had heat, but it was the flavors that came through. We ordered rice to go with at the server's recommendation, and were glad we did, as it gave something to soak up that leftover sauce. Fantastic. My husband order another special for his entree -- oxtail rice and chard. It was delicious. But the hit of the night was a staple entree, jerk chicken. Again, plenty of heat, but the flavors were doing a reggae in my mouth. We ended our meal with rich coffee made in the French press and the dessert that had lured us there in the first place: Sweet Potato Bread Pudding. The menu isn't extensive, but what we had was exquisitely prepared, and the specials added variety. It's also vegetarian friendly. We will definitely be back.
