Caribbean Soul (CLOSED)

West Indian eats are usually relegated to steam-table settings, but this Clinton Hill restaurant offers the comfort-food favorites in fancier digs. The low-lit, 40-seat café is decorated with gold-and-orange-colored walls and oil paintings from local artists. Choose from Caribbean entrées (jerk chicken, goat curry, fish escabèche) and Southern soul sides (macaroni and cheese, collard greens). Come the weekend, jazz and reggae bands play live music at night.
