In Short
Locals can save the plane ticket, settle into a copper-y table and--eyes closed, ears tuned to reggae--imagine being where palm trees sway at this Jamaican restaurant and lounge. A large Marley mural--not to mention a menu of jerk classics, whole kingfish and curry--drives the point home. After meals, visitors can head to the basement-level lounge or bar in back for more Red Stripes and rum punch.
