    Kick things off here with the complimentary iced tea before making your menu selection. The coconut curried crab is expensive, but worth it. A signature pork sausage may be dry, but is enhanced with the side salad of lettuce and cucumber that accompanies it. Pineapple rice is wonderfully sweet – you’ll wonder if it’s a dessert dish.
