The Jamaican restaurant will be open daily for lunch and dinner. (Owner Janice) Clarke said it will serve traditional Jamaican cuisine along with sandwiches and salads. Elliment will have a $7 lunch special during the week, and Clarke said dinner entrees will run about $15.
There will also be seafood specials on the weekend, and the business will also have a full bar. “I will have cocktails, beer and mixed drinks along with traditional Jamaican drinks like sorrel,” Clarke added.
And a reminder: Caribbean cuisine (broadly) and Jamaican cooking (narrowly) represent a fusion of West African, Creole, Amerindian, European, Latin American, Indian/South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Chinese. These traditions were brought from many countries when they moved to the Caribbean.
