"On April 8 Arleana’s will finally open its doors, with a French-influenced Caribbean menu from executive chef James Gibney that features a lot of seafood items like salmon tartar, panko-fried cod with plantain chips, and even a whole lobster. There are also jerk lamb pops, goat curry, and a vegetarian platter with jerk tofu. It’s a slightly gussied-up version of the flavors on the original Island Soul menu, and should be a standout in Kirkland from day one." - Harry Cheadle
