Easton and Tammey Romer’s addition to Olive Boulevard’s ethnic restaurant row is jammin’, from the Jamaican specialties to the endless loop of Bob Marley concert videos on the dining-room TV. A native of Jamaica who came to St. Louis in the late 1980s, Easton makes his jerk rub fresh, and it shows: pungent, citrusy and spicy. Jamaica’s South Asian influence is present in the mildly spiced golden sauces that blanket shrimp, chicken or goat curries. There’s fish, of course -- from simple grilled salmon to vinegary escovetch whole red snapper (and a spicier version that’s steamed in a tomato-based sauce, then baked). You won’t be able to get enough of the banana rum fritters -- but the Red Stripe is abundant. Best of all, the Romers keep this cozy joint open till 12:30 a.m.
