Ripe Kitchen & Bar is a vibrant, unpretentious eatery that embodies the spirit of Jamaica. This "glorified hole in the wall" is the brainchild of chef Nigel Spence, who brings his culinary expertise to the table with dishes like the famous Jerk ribeye steak, which has sold over 150,000 plates. The menu is a fusion of Jamaican flavors, featuring oxtail, Rasta pasta, jerk chicken, and more. The Rasta Pasta stands out with its creamy sauce and blend of spices, creating a comforting yet exciting flavor. The decor is a colorful tribute to the island, complete with bright reds, plants, and reggae music. The atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming, perfect for casual dinners, special occasions, or a night out with friends. The space may be small, accommodating no more than 10 tables, but it has a warm and inviting vibe that makes guests feel at home. Prices are reasonable, with meals ranging from $32 for the steak dinner to $13-$15 for drinks. Service is friendly and attentive, with the owner/chef often on hand to ensure a great experience. Be sure to try the spicy fries, rum punch, and homemade fruit punch, which packs a strong punch. With live music on warm evenings and happy hour specials, Ripe Kitchen & Bar is a must-visit for anyone looking for a taste of the Caribbean.
