"Calabash is an all-day restaurant near Lake Merritt that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner—which is one reason to spend every waking hour here. The other is the fact that this place is from the chef behind the excellent Kingston 11. They’re doing feel-good Jamaican and Afro-Caribbean dishes, from sweet plantains with black bean sauce and roasted lamb leg salad, and serving it all in a plant-and-couch-heavy space that looks like a lounge crossed with a sun-filled cafeteria. Expect this place to be the backdrop for casual conversations, especially since it has two bars." - Lani Conway
