Vegetarian Entree - served all month
Start with a bowl of Creamy Squash Soup -
summer squash and zucchini blended with garden fresh herbs
and cream for a delicious summer soup, accompanied by a Corn Muffin.
Then enjoy the Congris - a ubiquitous and delicious staple
throughout the Caribbean and Central America,
flavorful and hearty red beans and garlic rice,
served with Coconut Curry Vegetables -
coconut milk, onions, and ginger provide a mellow base
for the curry flavored sauce tossed with stir fried vegetables.
A side of our favorite Coleslaw, Jamaican Jerk style
compliments the meal
$17.95
Beer & Wine Suggestions: Red Stripe Beer, (of course!) from Jamaica, or the more robust Dirty Bastard Scotch Ale draft. If you prefer wine - Chilean Big Tattoo Red is a good match for the Pork Griots or the Congris, as well as the bodacious Fat Cat Pinot Noir. If you prefer white with the vegetarian meal, New Zealand's Redcliff Sauvignon Blanc or Michigan's Bel Lago Chardonnay/Pinot Grigio both pair nicely.

Tuna Chop - an 8 oz tuna steak charbroiled and topped by
a fresh, garlicky Mango Salsa. Accompanied by tasty
Sweet Potato Home Fries, grilled with onions and green peppers,
