This gastropub in the Bergen-Lafayette neighborhood of Jersey City was inspired by the owners passion for the food and feel of her childhood in Trinidad and Tobago, and it shows. Threading a fine line between relaxed and refined, the food elevates the flavors of Caribbean home cooking in unique and thoughtful ways, and their drink program combines tropical flavors with the latest trends in cocktails. Harry’s design details also shine. The hanging chairs, lush tropical wallpaper from Ghislane Vinas and the woven basket lights made by the visually impaired in Port of Spain, Trinidad transport you far away from the everyday.
