"Open for: Dinner Price range: $$$ Chef Cherven Desauguste and co-owner Mehret Tesfamariam marry Caribbean and Ethiopian flavors at this elegant spot with an extensive rum list. Try the pan-fried conch with cilantro-lime pesto or the doro tibs with berbere-spiced lentils on a generous canvas of injera. The cocktail list is stacked with punches, sangrias, and tropical-inspired sippers. Mesob opened a second location in KC’s Northland last year, but the original Midtown dining room feels more soulful. Must-try dish: The red lentils are the side to beat here." - Liz Cook
