| - We've been here two weeks in a row already for lunch and brunch and will definitely be coming back in the future. I'm not sure how authentically "Jamaican" the food is, but it's still pretty good food nonetheless. It's probably best to get reservations, because it fills up pretty fast on weekends, if you want to avoid waiting around.
It's nice that they change their menu every so often, to keep things new. The brunch menu online hasn't been updated since April 2011, but after eating brunch there today, i think it's not too far from the real thing. For brunch today, hubby and I ordered the pulled pork benedict and the shimeji mushroom omlette.
Hubby really likes the pulled pork ($13, i think) there. Too bad they don't sell it by itself. It was also pretty good in sandwich form last week when there were bananas mixed in. I know, it sounds weird, but the added sweetness really does work. Reminds me of a sweeter/mild curry flavor. Anyways, brunch options come with grilled pineapples and breakfast potatoes (referred to as hashbrowns, but they really are cubed bits of potatoes and onion and bell peppers). His pulled pork benedict came as two crisp cornbread rounds with pulled pork piled on top and two poached eggs with hollandaise sauce. We got the eggy-buttery sauce on the side, which was good, because it didn't need too much sauce. It was pretty flavorful on its own.
My shimeji mushroom omlette ($9) turned out really well. Our waitress actually admitted that was her favorite. They used shimeji mushrooms (the little japanese brown ones that you buy in clumps) and some arugula (i think) and chevre cheese inside, then I requested the omlette to be made with egg whites. It was a good combination with the chevre cheese, and I was surprised that they were nice enough to change it to an egg-white omlette free of charge. I'm pretty used to being told it'll cost extra. Oh, it also came with grilled tortillas, which are clearly way better than plain 'ol tortillas. And the salsa verde drizzled on top is amazingly good! And the soy sausage patties were especially delicious. They didn't taste like soy at all. Kinda meaty, without being too heavy/oily.
When they brought out the dessert menu, we saw the ice-cream/sorbet assortment for $6.50. We got to pick 3 flavors/scoops on tartlets (out of a choice of 5 or 6 options). We went with the chipotle, avocado, and coconut/chocolate. The coconut/chocolate is the best chocolate flavored ice cream we've ever tasted! It was a really rich and velvety dark dark dark chocolate ice cream. I assume it was made with coconut milk, because there was a very subtle coconut taste, but it's not as if there were flakes in there. The avocado was our 2nd favorite. The taste and texture reminded me of a lighter green tea ice cream. Lastly, there was the chipotle ice cream. It was good, but just good for a bite. The aftertaste gets a bit too spicy/overpowering and is hard to get rid of.
All in all, a great meal, and for a great price. Deee-licious!!
