"The right way to have dinner here is with a big group. Because portions are generous, seating is ample, and the servers match your group’s energy no matter which octave Carol's laugh reaches after her third rum cocktail. The Overtown restaurant has a menu that bounces between Southern American and Caribbean cuisine—with the occasional dish that doesn’t neatly fit into either category. But you can order with abandon because all the different regional flavors complement one another. Start with the excellent skillet of cornbread that comes with a side of honey butter and berry jam. The oxtail pepper pot is low on spice, but rich in flavor thanks to the dark brown sauce that smothers the generous amount of tender oxtail chunks. The huge dining room and back patio are perfect for big brunches with your loud friends. And they have an excellent selection of brightly colored fruity cocktails that’ll make the meal feel like a chaotic vacation to The Bahamas." - Mariana Trabanino
