Honest verdict on Rice and Peas — good but not exceptional

Rice and Peas here was solidly made — rich and coconut-sweet without anything to complain about. allspice pimento was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

ackee is legally restricted for export when unripe due to toxicity — an unusual national dish ingredient. The a roadside rum bar atmosphere was pleasant enough. Red Stripe beer was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Rice and Peas this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
