"Between the music, the tropical vibe, and the menu filled with Jamaican favorites, you’ll feel like you’re kicking back on Hellshire Beach or Fort Clarence at this Oakland restaurant. Nibble on salt cod fritters with chimichurri or beef patties before main events like curried goat, tangy escovitch salmon, and ackee with saltfish. Kingston 11 is also blessed with a lively bar menu that plays on traditional flavors. We’re especially fond of the rum punch with Wray & Nephew overproof rum and the Kingston Sunset, a refreshing mix of Prosecco, sorrel, and some spice." - Maria C. Hunt
