Tiny Caribbean vegan restaurant run by a husband and wife team. One of them will likely be your maitre d', waiter, and cook all at once, and you may be the only ones in the restaurant, but the food is always good. Hardwood benches, eclectic decor. Not the kind of place you'll find in a guide book, but if you're in for someplace off the beaten path, check it out!
