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.

For many Americans, Jamaican cuisine begins and ends with jerk chicken, Red Stripe beer and speakers pumping Bob Marley tunes. A visit to De Palm Tree explodes the myth, starting with seafood, from baked red snapper and shrimp sautéed in curry sauce to escovitch (pickled fish) and the national dish of salt cod and ackee (a lychee-like fruit). The menu's hidden gem might be the curry goat -- or possibly the oxtail stew, the rich flavor of the meat accented with pepper and rounded... More »
