Edgar's Calypso

By Shepherd Express Staff
72 Upon entering, you'll find a bar has a thatch canopy and bar stools painted in vivid colors. And the infectious rhythm of reggae will immediately put you in the mood for a Red Stripe beer. The food reflects the Caribbean's British, French and Spanish islands with fritters combining conch with shrimp and crab; tostones ($5.95), slices of deep fried plantain resembling a large banana, though not as sweet; and a Jamaican jerk whose tender pork helps compensate for the lack of a wood-fired stove, a problem with local restaurants trying to replicate that distinctive island dish.

this is an extraordinarily mediocre restaurant. I think much less of the sheperd express for giving it a good review. The decor is completely cheeseball.

 

WOW - I disagree with your taste buds! The food is awesome.

I would also disagree with that comment. How could that decor not put you in a good mood? I loved it! I just went for lunch and had a great jerk sandwich. Our server Gary was also very good.. I would suggest requesting him if you go.
