| - I've visited Kaya several times now, both for lunch and dinner. This review is a little bit biased in that I'm generally not a big fan of the "island cuisine" that Kaya serves. It's one of my least favorite "Big Burrito" restaurants. As such, I've never independently chosen this restaurant as a place to eat, I've only met people who are already there.
Nevertheless, I always receive friendly and knowledgeable service from the waiters. In terms of the appetizers, I enjoy the calamari and the tuna tartare. My favorite entrees (the only ones I can order, really) are the kaya burger and the crispy fish tacos. The burger is huge and packs a punch, but for some reason has a sunny side up egg on top of it. I don't understand where the egg fits into island cuisine, but ok. The fish tacos are less substantial but still very tasty.
I'm don't like "jerk" spicing, but if you are, you will have a great deal to choose from on the menu. EVERY category of food from the tapas to the appetizers to the main courses has SOMETHING "jerked." Hey, did I mention "the new phone book's here!?"
All around, Kaya has quick and nice staff but few offerings for a lady who doesn't like the cuisine theme, so three stars it is.
