Rice and Peas exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Rice and Peas made with real commitment to thyme and technique. The boldly spiced result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.

Jamaican jerk cooking traces to the Maroon communities who preserved meat with allspice and chilli. The a Kingston jerk pit was exactly right for this kind of eating. Red Stripe beer was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
