After 25 years of cooking for a West Indian chainlet in Brooklyn, Dominique St. Hillaire (alias Mama Jean) was drafted back into service by her son, who is the owner of the restaurant. The place has a fresh, welcoming spirit, and walls are plastered with photographs of orchids. The menu is sumptious with the likes of Codfish Crostini and the piled platters of Trinbagonian food (a Trinidad-Tobago mix). It also features island staples like roti, crispy accra, braised oxtails, and stewed chicken.
