The bright décor with tropical greenery and Caribbean artwork gives this restaurant a delightful, breezy feel. Located at the back of Corona Del Mar Plaza, this homey restaurant serves up a somewhat good hybrid of American and Jamaican fare. But first, start off with a handmade tropical cocktail, which will begin the evening in earnest. Next, it’s time to try the coconut shrimp appetizer, followed by an entrée of jerk chicken, spicy pork tenderloin, grilled baby-back ribs and crunchy crab cakes. After eating, you can stroll through the neighboring Tommy Bahama’s store for some beach-inspired clothing and home décor.
