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 decor is a colorful tribute to the island, complete with bright reds, plants, and reggae music. The atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming, with a community vibe that makes you feel like you're on island time. Prices are reasonable, with meals ranging from $32 for the steak dinner to $13-$15 for drinks. Service is friendly, if sometimes laid-back, and the owner/chef himself is often on hand to ensure a great experience. Be sure to try the spicy fries, rum punch, and homemade fruit punch, and don't miss the live music on warm evenings. With its unique flavor and atmosphere, Ripe Kitchen & Bar is a must-visit for anyone looking for a taste of the Caribbean.
