Brunch today was at Kokomo, a restaurant which brings Caribbean Food to the Brooklyn waterfront and reviewed 10/06/2020, again by Pete Wells. They have a beautifully constructed outdoor platform and also tables set up under large awnings. It was the perfect setting for such a pleasant day, and their brilliant colors, music and general ambience transported me to the West Indies.

 Wells reviewed their dinner menu, but the brunch menu has many of the same items. He recommended their flatbreads, jerk chicken, and Escovitch Snapper (snapper marinated in vinegar, spices and veggies) and mentioned that “the substantial line of vegan main courses is conceived with flavor in mind.”

As I perused the menu, I was attracted to the Pikliz Fish Sandwich with pickled cabbage slaw, fried fish fillet, garlic mayo, and house fries, but to no avail. They didn’t have it today, so I chose their egg frittata. Adam chose their Caribbean spiced lamb, and both dishes were good, as well as the service. We were intrigued with their rum raisin bread pudding for dessert served with vanilla ice cream and topped with coconut whipped cream. It arrived with an edible orchid (crunchy), and the pudding was yummy!  So, yes to a repeat. I’m looking forward to trying some of their other dishes.
